With all due respect (lol), what a truly f'n stupid argument. You don't have to be a former college basketball coach to criticize Caveman Calipari's style of play and offensive strategy. You don't have to have been an astronaut to know the Challenger explosion was a pretty big f up either. So yeah, I feel confident in that just because I'm not a billionaire businessman that I can still criticize pretty big f-uppery from Musk. If you think the collective users and advertisers think today's events were the actions of competent leadership I don't know what to tell you unless you're just a closed-minded farty poo poo sniffer. Are you are farty farty poo poo sniffer, Bill Cosby? I think you is.
Atlas Shrugged was a ****** book, BTW.
Oh yeah, your username reminds of that rapist. You may want to change it to something like Carrot Top instead.
The business argument was in the first paragraph, you dunce. The paragraph you quoted was just mocking you.
Curious why you think it makes business sense to keep Twitter open to access for any and every start up AI company to use its proprietary data to train their models, rather than Twitter shutting down third party access and finding ways to monetize one of, if not the largest collections of human language and interaction data in the world?
Wouldn’t it make more sense for Twitter to use its own data to develop its own models, then sell the ability for advertisers to target advertisements based on the learnings of the Twitter model?
Hell, don’t you think there would be ways for Musk to comb tweets in real time, then use the data, only Twitter has the ability to access, to take advantage of advanced knowledge of potential market moving events throughout the world?
To me, it seems like a damn good business plan to restrict third party access to Twitter data.
I would like to hear your argument why you think this is a big mistake.
