Extremely small sample size and obviously my followers will be a biased sample, but I’m still somewhat surprised the result was fully unanimous. (Notably, pointed out in the replies, I didn’t ask how *useful* this website is compared to before.)

I haven’t really been around because idk it feels weird playing in Elon Musk’s playground so I feel like I’m not really tapped into what the vibe is and I’m curious

We used to think “well, if it can write a poem or paint a painting, it needs to be like us, a general thing with emotions and feelings and a full panoply of sentience.” We had no other models and hadn't thought about it very clearly.

Running Twitter is hard. I don’t wish that stress upon anyone. I trust that the team is doing their best under the constraints they have, which are immense. It’s easy to critique the decisions from afar…which I’m guilty of…but I know the goal is to see Twitter thrive. It will.

New study: Paxlovid rebound is much more likely if you initiate it within the first 2 days: 29% if started on day 1 17% on day 2 0% on day 3 or later I had predicted such based on basic principles of immunity alone medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Twitter is the most efficient way to expose your own stupidity and destroy any aura of mystique. Like there was once a time, hard to even imagine now, when I thought that maybe Elon was smart.

I can still tweet though which is AWESOME. I have no way to confirm my tweets posted or remember what I already said or delete them or read replies. They just get sent out into the ether. I kinda like it.

Oh hey turns out I *can* still see likes in my notifs and those give me a link back to my own tweet so that I can add to a thread that way. Like this one. (Thanks, @reluctantlyjoe!)

I love this screenshot because it captures both the day Twitter went read-only and the day Twitter went write-only.

Honestly this might be a genuinely pro-user move. Gotta limit that Twitter time.

To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits: - Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day - Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day - New unverified accounts to 300/day

COVID wastewater data just hit a two-year low in Middlesex County! Today the seven-day average dropped below 100 for the first time since July 20, 2021. (That's close to 1% of the peak in January 2022, which was ~9000.)

I’m still here sometimes because I guess I’m still getting some pleasure or connection from it, but oof it gets harder and harder to come here when I know the guy who runs it can just do stuff like this whenever he wants

Replying to @JamesEsses
Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions. The words “cis” or “cisgender” are considered slurs on this platform.
