One weekend Russia attacks Russia, next weekend Twitter attacks Twitter.

Don't forget when Reddit attacked Reddit two weeks ago.

The entire world now living the "hurt itself in its confusion" meme.

Only the bits living on Twitter or Reddit though. Or in Russia I guess.

Everyone else is going to do the same.

They're only holding out because they still believe the Fed will cut rates and they can borrow some more cheap money to keep the gravytrain going.

I don't have a problem with any of the three.

It is kinda funny if you consider these companies might consider their user data to be useful, especially with recent advances in LLM models. I've been thinking if you just exclude Reddit posts from training youll probably achieve much lower bullshit scores, as that seems to be what most posts on there seem to represent. I think data curation (by sources) could achieve quite a bit.

Spez trying to kill reddit for short term gain is nothing new.

I really dont understand how the "investors" who will end up holding the bag after the IPO dont see that.

I would guess this was a reference to the Wagner incident.

Wagner, now located in Belarus, was still Russian when they downed 6 helicopters and a plane last week-end.

I think they're the worst single day losses in the Russian Air Force's history (which only goes back to the 90s, but still).

Tell me, define "Russia attacks Russia", what does that mean?

What do you gain from spreading misinformation?

EDIT: ok downvoted again, let me rephrase

When the goal is to throw away the government, what do you gain from demonizing "Russians"; how do you think these people will react when Putin will be gone?

"Putin's mercenaries rebel against his failing leadership", there, your homework free of charge, +10 to intellect

unlike what others have said, Twitter was very useful during the saturday mutiny in Russia. I follow a lot of people who supplied updates and thoughts.

We're also during the France attacks France weekend, and Twitter self-immolating certainly doesn't help with staying in touch with things down there.

France is attacking France.
