• X users are complaining about an influx of low-quality ads promoting crypto scams and AI “undressing” apps.
  • The decline in reputable advertisers on X has made the platform more reliant on less reputable ad buyers.
  • The exodus of advertisers, partially due to Elon Musk’s controversial behavior, has left X with a growing revenue gap.

    I care just enough to say I don’t care.

    I was repeatedly called a GPT3 bot on Xitter. This was before it was even public.

      There was a crazy guy on Reddit who was absolutely convinced I was a rogue AI. It was so bizarre.

          The best part was, just to see what he would do, I wrote his username and the date and time on a napkin and took a picture of it- blacking out part of my face to limit the doxing- and he claimed it was photoshopped. You can’t win against crazy, but I was pretty amused.

            He fully embraced a post-truth world! Assume EVERYTHING is a lie

            Except the stuff he knows is true of course

          Hmm last time I tried to do that, all I was able to do was show the selection process that required it was flawed and got admin access anyways.

          Or maybe whoever was in the terminals was just fucking with me the whole time.

          Either way, I’m still not sure I’m a person. Maybe I’m just a meat automation.

      You admit you care, and that’s the first step to curing your addiction.
