The uber-rich are jumping onto the opensource bandwagon due to the hype. Just wait. They don’t understand a thing about the philosophy but “free”. Free labor, free publicity, and a better public image for free.
If he goes through with this, just like they did with that AI algorithm a few years back, then that would be good for the people who use that dump.
Melon Susk can go fuck himself with a cactus
I guess he wants free labor to work on it?
For sure he will publish the algo he uses to advance the alt right.
So the only thing you can confidently say based on this information is: it’s 100% certain the entire codebase of Twitter will not be going open source.
Maybe the entire frontend so they can train on copyrighted data without punishment. Grok has been sassy with daddy and he is angry.
Let’s add it to the list of lies:
- musk is a “free speech absolutist”
- FSD next year!
- E2EE chats in Xitter
Keep it going!
Roadster, Hyperloop, boots on Mars just to name the few
Didn’t he promise to make the Tesla patent public and when it did they were decades old already public patents or a shit like that ?
If it’s not a lie, it’s not worth it anyway, we have better things now. I do love the boot lickers who want to help him though.
It could be to crowd sourced bug fixes. I’m sure someone will be keen to give daddy musk all the help he needs.
This just a ploy to feed Grok.
Also their code isn’t valuable. I want to see the algorithms and admins logs and bots.
isn’t the algorithm part of the code? or is that split off into a separate repo?
this is the idiot that took down twitter when he yeeted racks out of a data center and threw 'em into a u-haul… ones that were still powered on and used by the site. so anything’s possible… but i don’t think even he would be so stupid as to release the algorithms or his special ‘tweaks’ to them.
Yes, it could be part of the code but you are also correct they can separate it out.
What are we going to do with this code base? We already have Mastodon.
No thanks, you can keep it.
An open source piece of shit is still a piece of shit
So people will be able to fork it and add ActivityPub integration? :D
Why not Mastodon instead though?
I mean, I use GoToSocial, people like Sharkey or Akkoma.
Who knows, maybe someone would prefer twitter for some reason.
Plain old Mastodon does seem the better option though
Didn’t he already do this early 20’s and then never update it past the original commit? Or was that only the algorithm.
Something like that. I remember people finding the part of the code that upranks Elon’s posts, so the algorithm seems to have been there/included.
Be careful, snakes about.
