So I just read the new Twitter policy on promotion of other social media platforms for free, mostly because I've seen a lot of discussion and wanted to read the entire thing. The following things are true: Elon has the right to do whatever he wants on his private platform, and, this is incredibly dumb and I kind of hope the other socials start blocking Twitter links. And finally, some of the stuff people are doing to get around this is hilarious and I hope Elon has fun playing whackamole.

The more I see gushing uncritical praise of machine learning, or worse, completely fabricated accounts of what people think goes on inside machine learning models, the more I worry about what seems increasingly like a literacy problem on the part of users. When people don't understand a technology, they just start making things up that sound like they could be true and which fit their existing biases. What's that gonna look like going forward with stuff like LLMs?
