So… What exactly is your definition of what should be posted in the technology community?

Article Date: February 13, 2025

Numerous studies have reported an increase in hate speech on X (formerly Twitter) in the months immediately following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform on October 27th, 2022; relatedly, despite Musk’s pledge to “defeat the spam bots,” a recent study reported no substantial change in the concentration of inauthentic accounts. However, it is not known whether any of these trends endured. We address this by examining material posted on X from the beginning of 2022 through June 2023, the period that includes Musk’s full tenure as CEO. We find that the increase in hate speech just before Musk bought X persisted until at least May of 2023, with the weekly rate of hate speech being approximately 50% higher than the months preceding his purchase, although this increase cannot be directly attributed to any policy at X. The increase is seen across multiple dimensions of hate, including racism, homophobia, and transphobia. Moreover, there is a doubling of hate post “likes,” indicating increased engagement with hate posts. In addition to measuring hate speech, we also measure the presence of inauthentic accounts on the platform; these accounts are often used in spam and malicious information campaigns. We find no reduction (and a possible increase) in activity by these users after Musk purchased X, which could point to further negative outcomes, such as the potential for scams, interference in elections, or harm to public health campaigns. Overall, the long-term increase in hate speech, and the prevalence of potentially inauthentic accounts, are concerning, as these factors can undermine safe and democratic online environments, and increase the risk of offline harms.

Am I tripping, out of touch with reality? These people really don’t seem to understand the problem

How so? Can you explain what do you mean here exactly?

Said that on Social Media

Yes, they are even republished by OCCRP.

Computers are making life-changing decisions about healthcare, welfare and education with minimal or no human input. Automated decisions could become more common with the Data (Use and Access) Bill that is going through Parliament at the moment.

ProPublica used Original custom made cover photo+ they did the whole investigation.

Ars Technica used stock photo and paraphrased some of the info.

Despite that, the undeleted ProPublica post got about 80 Upvotes in 3 hours. The Ars Technica one got about 120 in about 50 mins.

As I said before: The Ars Technica post is expected to hit the front page, while the ProPublica ones are expected to die, despite being the original source of the info.

In case it isn’t clear, the Ars Technica post is expected to hit the front page, while the ProPublica ones are expected to die, despite being the original source of the info.

My advice to people who see my post here is to spread awareness about this widely as much as they could.

They own the social media and they own the news. They are going to control people thoughts and fuck the whole journalism industry ( Bankrupt competitors) if they kept doing this.

It’s scary to read about how this technology is being used here.

Reminder:

• Busines Insider fired 21% of their staff and replaced them with AI.
• Business Insider recommended nonexistent books to staff as it leans into AI

Why??

I really don’t know why this did not get any coverage in the media.

Naji said the firm has also “developed the broadest ecosystem” of developers and software.

“And so it’s just so much easier to … build an application, build an AI model on top of those chips,” he said.

They have a paywall?!!

I can’t notice any paywall

So… why don’t you delete your account there?

Bullshit, I don't believe it

What he meant to say:

Please, don't be true.
