Musk has to know this, and the potential risks.
Yep.
Alexa, who is the biggest subcontractor for the US Dept of Defense?

Gonna have to take it private because the stock will dive when it's exposed that a huge chunk of accounts are bots.

Total astroturfed narrative.

I hope Musk has is back protected. It is no secret that the Biden Administration, Liberals, and deep state do not like him and will set him up for massive failure if possible.
So, when Musk takes ownership is he then liable for all Twitter violations of the past as well? If he exposes manipulation/corruption of past twitter will that all blow right back on him as the responsible party financially?
I can certainly see the DOJ and Democrat party suddenly being concerned about all the censorship and user manipulations to the point to the DOJ opening investigations and trying to extort billions from Musk in settlements.

But everyone thinks government is incompetent and needs to shrink, reduce regulation and that private businesses should be able to run their business as they see fit.

How about we just don't patronize social media?
Or how about we start our own social media (Truth, Gettr, Gab) and run it like we see fit?

How about we have our pervert parade and not care if straight parents bring their children?
How about if we quit funding abortions with tax payer money?
How about we mind our own business regarding other people's diets?

How about we go back in the closet whenever we feel like straight people don't adore us enough?
How about we respect one another enough to let everyone have their constitutional rights?
How about we compete on a level playing field in sports rather than catering to the delusions of a mental patient?

quote: I think the biggest win in all of this might be Musk's promise to make the algorithm public. Total transparency. If it uncovers the blatant corruption I think it will, we might see legislation under a new majority which requires platforms to disclose their algorithms in order to maintain their section 230 protections.
How will the NSA/CIA adjust?
NSA? Not so much, IMO.
CIA? They'll just stir up shite somewhere else in an effort to change the news cycle. Personally, I think as we get closer to bigger developments from Durham, we're practically guaranteed to see Elizabeth II's death. The MSM is working overtime to do all they can to enamor re American people of those overrated inbreds as it is. They'll hold up their end of the bargain.
The DIA is the only IC member that I trust completely. Why? Dong Jinwei.

The "algorithm" is just a scoring and sorting function, what exactly is it you think you're going to discover?
That certain points of view are scored lower and even shadowbanned, perhaps?

You're right, I forgot everything always flows back to a massive conspiracy involving 1000s, if not 100s of 1000s of people.
Why do you think it would take 1000s of people to accomplish this? Do you think the UI devs know what the algorithm is? The marketers? Secretaries? Customer service? Code is compartmentalized. It could be 10 people in the company that truly know the algorithm. They report to the PM that reports to one or 2 execs, who report to one or 2 govt spooks. It wouldn't take anywhere close to a thousand people.

Then you don't want to see "the algorithm," you want to see the inputs to that data. Which is generated by a classifier that uses a model. The model uses training data. That's what you want to see. The raw tweets labeled as "bad" or whatever as training data.

Actually, it's 100% true that if you could see the algorithm you'd have a better chance of gaming it.
It isn't source code.

What, exactly, do you think an algorithm is?
It is a function that takes input and transforms it into output.
Posted on 4/26/22 at 7:46 am to jonnyanony
An algorithm is basically just a single module, or set of instructions, used in a vast ocean of source code, in layman's terms. You can do nothing with an algorithm alone. It informs the code.

But it *is* source code.
And if you read what I've said the whole time, it's not very interesting on its own.
The classification labels and training data would be the most illuminating thing.

Do you remember the websites with all the wording embedded to hit keywords on searches?
Knowledge is power and social media is about controlling the flow of information. He may give it up initially, but he will pull it back for the right amount of money.

How do you think algorithms are applied to software? Hint: they're converted into code.

At that point yes, but its still not code and does nothing on it's own.
