Additionally, I would argue that it is an ethical responsibility to note that these vehicles are not capable of “driving themselves”, at the very least.
The #SystemsSafety community has spent years publishing open content on these matters.
"In God we trust"-- not a bad idea, however in this case, I trust in money, i.e., #stocks. Would you risk loosing 45% of your personal wealth within a short time-frame?
The only difference is that #Jack and #Bluesky and the #ATProtocol seem to be farming out algo content and legal liabilities to unknown/unnamed third parties
While #Musk and #Twitter are still trapped with it in-house
Musk reinstated accounts of white nationalists who'd previously been banned for hurling racist abuse at other users; has fired 80% of the company's workforce; has promoted fringe right-wing conspiracy theories, such as the false claim that Nancy's husband was secretly having a love affair with the man who assaulted him last year; & has gotten rid of the traditional "blue check" system for verifying public figures & has replaced it with giving a blue check to anyone who pays him $8 a month.
@Tilopa
It's hard to understand. Is #Musk purposely trying to destroy #Twitter? Does he think he can pull off a right wing takeover of social media as #Murdoch did for TV AND make money in the process? (hint: the audience for right wing crackpot propaganda is significant but not growing, and everyone else will just be turned off) or is he so blinded by his ego that he doesn't realize he's not as smart and powerful as he thinks he is? #twittermigration#twitterexodus
There is such a delicious schadenfreude to watching someone like Musk accidentally set his crotch on fire in this massive public humiliation. When he falls down and pantses DeSantis in the process, possibly killing his presidential campaign? That's priceless! And the fact that it really casts doubts on Tucker's Twitter show ever being a thing? I don't know how I could enjoy this story more, and the writer of this brutal piece clearly was having fun with it also https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/25/media/desantis-twitter-musk-reliable-sources
'For about 25 minutes, Musk and venture capitalist David Sacks struggled before an assembled audience of only a few hundred thousand people to get the audio up and running. The sound repeatedly cut in and out, ultimately leading to Musk ending the Spaces event and starting a fresh one under Sacks’ account.'
Listening to the DeSantis announcement/interview on Twitter. The whole thing -- both his prepared remarks and the subsequent interview -- is pretending that DeSantis is already in the general election running against Biden.
The question should be: “We know your message against Biden. What’s your message to Republican primary voters who today overwhelmingly support Trump?” That's the only question.
@w7voa The thing is here... #Musk is going to be livid and you can bet your Bottom Dollar that he is going to take it out on his undoubtedly overworked staff - many who are forced to remain at #Twitter.
Elon Musk is launching the presidential campaign of Ron DeSantis, the man working to make The Handmaid’s Tale a reality in the US.
At least the Germans had guns to their heads if they opposed the Nazis. What exactly is your excuse for continuing to support this man and his social network?
@aral As much as #DeSantis is a monster. This is a reminder of why decentralized systems are so important. #Twitter was a sitting duck for someone like #Musk. Hoping to create a propaganda machine that would make any authoritarian regime blush.
We absolutely have to keep countering centralization to make sure the costs of propaganda are high.
Nice to see that the faux-left #Krassenstein brothers have moved onto their latest scam over on #Twitter... being reply guys for #Musk in a pathetic attempt to sanitize Musk's hate and harmful behavior.
"This week, DeSantis’s Twitter handle was changed from 'RonDeSantisFL' to the more nationally friendly 'RonDeSantis.' The previous owner of 'RonDeSantis' was Ronald Louis DeSantis, a Realtor in California who died in 2020. His account, created in 2009, is now 'rondeSantis__1.' So either the Florida governor’s team reached out to his estate and managed to coordinate a swap — or Twitter facilitated the transfer."
Self-described “free speech absolutist” Elon Musk will have a formal role in the presidential announcement of Ron DeSantis, who has launched an aggressive crackdown on free speech in Florida K-12 schools, universities, and private businesses
An odd follow-up to the CNN love-fest and repositioning for the post-Fox Trumpism cult (and ratings), while #Muskville parrots all that "free speech" stuff while ensuring it's the case for hate, lie, and #sedition fans, and very #disinformation friendly. I mean... #Musk ??
So what's in Musk's head? Splitting the Trump 46 audience with CNN and NewsMax? Just kissing up to Drumpf? Weird
@John@danhon By all means #Musk must forever avoid the term "bankruptcy" associated with anything in his business empire - his cult has spent years weaponizing the bankruptcies of Musk's competitors to argue that Musk never fails.
Musk uses lies, clear-cut public safety wrongdoings and even flirts with illegalities in order to boost his companies artificially.
I think Musk is just trying to get his existing rent obligations amended lower here - using classic intimidation and threats.
1/ Today the #2024Election kicks off in earnest with #JoeBiden’s re-election bid announcement
There is 560 days to the #PresidentialElection. Much will happen, conditions will change but it as #Biden suggests a continuation of the battle for the soul of America
I’ll use this thread to comment periodically on the election over the next 80 weeks. It’s a long road to #ElectionDay2024, but the stakes couldn’t be higher
File this one under #FailureToLaunch. Hardly surprising when understaffed and under resourced #Twitter is used as a broadcast platform. Seems like #DeSantis lacks risk assessment skills, fairly important if you wish to be #POTUS.
This latest #Musk mess will do little to improve the credibility of his crumbling network
In an era of, what should be, increasing scrutiny of outsized, asymmetric and unnecessary transportation-related emissions… this #FAA “privacy program” (and this seemingly white-glove support service from the FAA to set it up) for the private jet owners and operators should not exist.
#Censorship on #Twitter is on the raise - pre-#Musk takeover platform accepted 50% of the censorship requests from the authoritarian governments. After takeover the number raised to 83%.
:breathe: The FDA will apparently let Elon Musk put a computer in a human’s brain
➥ @verge
"Neuralink has been accused of abusing its monkey test subjects, a claim the company denies. The FDA rejected an early 2022 Neuralink application for human trials, as reported by Reuters, apparently outlining “dozens of issues” the company needed to address."
Over the years Musk has made many public statements as CEO that are lies. The family of a man killed by Tesla’s autopilot are suing Musk for his lies about the self driving system.
He’s trying to get out of deposition on the assertion any public video of him could be deep faked.
