    Sure, it sounds beilivable - but news stories? If teams at twitter wrote fake news.

    First off, why? There’s lots to just share instead. Oø Secondly, why has nobody else talked about this - it’s not like it’s something someone else would do.

    It doesn’t back up anything.

    While bots and willingly letting fake news spread from agents originating from f.ex russia isn’t even new, that’s happened before elon too. (I hate that jerk as much as anybody else, but this is seems to far fetched without anything to back it up.)

      Yeah, exactly — we’ve seen that bit happen for the past ten years on Facebook. So that is the minimum happening on Twitter.

      The link to Eliza AI is sort of a half back-up for the story.

      Twitter has been hyping Grok AI and the fact that it can sum up the news for you. If that’s the public-facing part, then given the motivations of Elmo, it seems reasonable enough that there’s a shadier privat counterpart.

      The fact that Marc Andeerrsson is behind Eliza AI is very interesting though.

      For those who’ve not had the pleasure. e/acc who wants to bring forth tech advancement at any cost (So this would be exactly the kinda thing he’d do). Switched to MAGA recently and has made statements about manipulating the public through social media.
