You know that would be an entirely legitimate thing to do. But are you comfortable with AI knowing everything about your Twitter experience?

If AI learned about me only from Twitter could it reproduce my personality? If it only knew my Twitter experience it could reproduce it but it would be an attenuated version. Twitter me is not me. You know that, right? My Twitter personality is not like my base personality. In the same way if I talk to a child that's not my base personality. That's how I modified to talk to a child. If I give a talk in front of a big crowd in public that's not my actual personality. That's my modified personality for an audience. This isn't my real personality. This is my modified personality for the purpose of doing the live stream, right? They're all versions of me so they're not dishonest because they're the real version of me modified to the purpose. But there's no version that's me.

But what if AI said well I'm gonna, I've got like 10,000 tweets and likes and stuff from this guy. I reproduce them based on what I know from Twitter. Be a little dangerous wouldn't it? Because it wouldn't necessarily know that's not me. That is my performance version of me.

Yeah, speaking of the performance version of people, that's a theme we might get to a little bit. But you know you wonder if Musk actually blocked OpenAI temporarily anyway. Blocked AI from using Twitter data which seems like the right move until you know a little bit more about the ramifications of that. I like that and I also like the transparency because Musk told us what it was and what it is and flagged it as a potential problem without any specifics. And if you don't know what the specific problem is then pausing to find out is exactly the right thing to do. So good on him.

I saw somebody on the left criticize Musk for trying things and then reversing them. And I think you mentioned three or four things that he tried at Twitter and then quickly reversed as if that's him doing a bad job. How much more wrong could you be about something in public? To imagine that rapidly trying things in software, because it's a software-based company, rapidly trying things, seeing how they do, how they're accepted, rapidly adjusting right in front of you. And there's somebody who says that's failing. Like oh that's a bad job. You tried these things and then you reversed them.

Now if a hundred percent of everything you tried got reversed well then you'd have some kind of a point. But if nine out of ten things he tries gets reversed you do not have a point. Because that's the game, is to get one out of ten that works and keep it. And you try ten things to get one that works. That'd be about what I would expect. One out of ten would be pretty good actually if you got one out of ten.

So The Washington Post is accusing MSNBC of racism for firing one of their black journalists. Is there anything else to say about that story? And like I could put more words around it but I feel like that's like the seed of a story. I can just give you the seed and then it goes to your head and it blossoms into the whole story. Like I don't need to add anything do I? The left is accusing t
