- SketchySeaBeast 2y agoBrave of him to be posting that on Xitter.

- josefresco 2y agoFYI X has relaxed the login prompt (at least for me). You can again see the post without an account, but not the thread.
- knowitnone 2y agono, thank you
- BoredPositron 2y agoGood that we are talking about a thread of messages here.
- timcobb 2y agoI like not even going there
- jaggs 2y agoNope, not interested.
- JohnFen 2y agoIt doesn't matter. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.
- Fnoord 2y agoMy firewall blocks all IPs belonging to Twitter ASN. Have to use Tor Browser.
- justaj 2y agoI'd rather not. I can view threads on Nitter instances without enabling JS.
- csomar 2y agoI created an account for a product I am currently working on and got suspended after a week or so. Didn't make any tweet. Didn't even login or use it. Now when I open Twitter/X it just shows I was banned. I honestly wonder how that site it still in operation and still has real users after all of this.
- irthomasthomas 2y agoMe too! I'm working on deep-bloom, and registered an x account. Even bought the premium. Then I got banned for no reason. They don't even cancel the premium, you have to jumpy through the hoops to cancel it manually. Probably did me a favour.

- sofixa 2y agoMusk deadnames his own child, I think it's fine to not be considerate to him.
- catapart 2y agosetting aside the understanding of hypocrisy as entirely negative, deadnaming is bad because it can allow for unwanted tracking/attention, and because it might be offensive/hurtful for the person you are calling a name that they do not use. neither of those issues apply for companies. unless you've relentlessly refrained from calling McDonald's "mickey D's" (or any other company, any name other than their company name) specifically because you "might offend them" (they have a "preferred" name, that's why they put it everywhere), then you're not applying the rule universally. and if you worry that using "twitter" in place of "x" would somehow allow for stalking of the company that the real name would prevent, I would love to see any rational justification for that concern. rules - of morality or otherwise - are reasonable to follow only when they have some net benefit. even by the low standards of an edgelord trying to apply rules where they would be ironic, this fails the test of even applying the rules correctly.

- artursapek 2y agoSam gives off incredibly strong “pride cometh before the fall” energy.
- lastofthemojito 2y agoThere's certainly a part of me that wonders if Altman incorrectly assumes last year's rules still apply, when in fact he just ensured retribution from the man who counts all three branches of the United States government as his underlings.
- Trasmatta 2y agoWell, I certainly hope people like sama are still willing to push back, and don't just bend the knee immediately to President Musk. Surely there's at least one or two people out there in Silicon Valley that still have a backbone.
- SiempreViernes 2y agoIt's a sad state of affairs when the hope is that Elon's illegal ravaging is stopped by Sam Altman.
- Trasmatta 2y agoI think Sam is at least stubborn and willing to be ruthless, so I feel like he's a good person to stand his ground

- sadjad 2y agoLet them fight.
- hn_throwaway_99 2y agoOn one hand, I used to look at these super successful people with a pretty heavy dose of envy. Now I honestly don't, because I find their behavior reprehensible and disgusting, and just so childishly stupid. Granted, I'm fortunate enough that I really don't want for material goods (that's also because I realized I don't need very much), so I might feel differently if I had to slave away at some job I hated. Being a "nerd" who graduated HS in the 90s has been a weird arc. At first you got out and were like "yes! I survived HS", and then for a while you had skills that were valued, and now it feels like the whole world has devolved into a shitty sequel to Mean Girls.
- steve_adams_86 2y agoSam Harris has some of the best, arguably more constructive, critiques of Elon. I guess they used to be some degree of friendly with each other, exchanging text messages and such, but that has since ended. I’ve generally found his take on things fairly insightful and worth hearing out. I know some people can’t stand him, and I don’t agree with him about everything, but I think it leaves you with a decent sense of what has happened to Elon over the years. Kara Swisher is also familiar with Elon over the years and her commentary definitely elucidates some of the more bizarre aspects of his new persona. Where it probably came from, how things have shaken out, what he was like before when his quirks were present yet not as obvious, etc. I mention them because your point about not envying them anymore is deeply justified by what these people have to say. They paint this picture that makes you pity him more than anything. He seems like a very intelligent 15 year old trapped in a man’s body with an incredible nerd complex, always deeply craving to be initiated yet never finding his way there. He throws his money and power around, but inside he’s a deeply troubled, needy, weak little boy. Addicted to twitter, fiending for more attention seemingly every moment. Possibly addicted to hard drugs. What a mess. I got a laugh out of the mean girls sequel part, haha.
- sumeno 2y agoHe should probably take that twitter deal, probably not getting better than that
- idlewords 2y agoI'll buy both.
- clark-kent 2y ago$974 million maybe!
- emrah 2y agoCan Sam reply on his own? Does he have controlling votes?
- gitaarik 2y agoHow can you see the parent message on Xitter?
