Musk's Tweet-Limiting Move Is To Prevent The Completion Of The "AI-Censorship-Death-Star"
Unless you've been hiding under a rock this weekend, you will know that Twitter CEO Elon Musk said Saturday that the social media platform will limit how many tweets users can read due to “extreme” levels of system manipulation and data scraping.
...Which brings us to Mike Benz's excellent discussion this morning of what may really be going on behind the scenes, that yet again - the world's richest man could be the only one uncancellable enough to battle.
Benz begins his trek with the statement: "AI censorship is where all of the magic happens."
He points out, the Twitter Files showed how The FBI might come in and get 22 tweets censored, but AI is how IEP (and other 3rd-party censorship groups) were able to get 22 million tweets censored."
...Twitter is the best social network of all for this massive data scraping (and training) since all consumers of information are also creators.
This explicitly makes scraping data there far more important for early narrative detection and countering 'wrongthink' via fact-checking, Google Ad suppression, political pressure (possibly enforcing hate speech laws like Michigan just passed), or mainstream media propaganda focus....
So - is this just another money-making scheme for Twitter; or is Musk really the world's last best hope for 'freedom' of speech.
"You are going to see the censorship industry howl over this," Benz concludes, and "whether Musk knows it or not, he has stepped on a rattlesnake."
While the censorship-industry will "in a wierd way, while the boot [of Musk's tweet-read-limit] may be cutting off some amount of openness of Twitter, it may also represent in some way, the boot of freedom."
Perception is reality...
I would have lived in peace. But my enemies brought me war.
