(Threads) - another data gobbler from meta
Yet another rip off from suckerberg. 1) Twitter was a huge dataset available for LLM training upon which openai also used for training it's models. https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-openai-twitter-data-pay-dispute-2023-4 2) Zuckerberg's metaverse was a flop. Although he might have gotten some validation after apple launched vision pro. https://www.reuters.com/technology/investors-punish-zuckerberg-costly-metaverse-pitch-falls-flat-2022-10-27/ 3) As AI was the next shiny item in the tech industry, zuck abandoned meta verse ship and mentioned that AI was the meta's plan all along https://www.reuters.com/technology/inside-metas-scramble-catch-up-ai-2023-04-25/ 4) Having past experience from Apple privacy gating it's app and the following loss , zuck anticipated that Twitter might do the same. Started copycating 'Twitter-like' project called 'Threads'. Same name was used to copycat 'snapchat' in 2019. It didn't fly off as the zuck expected. Now Twitter is the new target. https://www.reuters.com/article/facebook-instagram-threads-idUKL3N26O32V 5) Musk rate limits read access to prevent other projects like openai to again train their LLMs https://www.reuters.com/technology/twitter-now-needs-users-sign-view-tweets-2023-06-30/ https://www.bbc.com/news/business-65332207.amp 6) Meta accelerated their 'threads' launch so that the data to train their copycat LLMs is within the company 7) When it comes to user privacy, EU has been on top. And 'Threads' can never suck up EU users' data as the app is banned there citing privacy concerns I definitely side with Elon when it comes to data, compared to Zuckerberg. #tech #meta #data #sucker #berg #threads #twitter #elon #musk #socialnetwork #part2 #weakEgo #instagram #userprivacy #LLM #generative #ai #finance #money TC - doesn't matter

1) smart, would be silly not to 2) about 10 to 15 years too early to call. How can something that doesn't exist yet be a flop lol? 3) Nope, ai and the metaverse have been priorities for years and remain as such 4) What? Yes threads is similar to some Twitter functionality. Twitter is rapidly dying/broken so great time to fill the gap 5) Musk didn't decide to rate limit, Google decided for him lol 6) smart right? Clearly not about llms, meta already had great llm and open sourced them 7) Incorrect Why would you side with Elon lol? Especially with data. Congratulations, the fake news duped you lol
With all the privacy BS the EU is very close to having FB/IG/WA put behind a paywall
Great Analysis!
I just have one question: If you do all this work, why post it on Blind?
I did post this on Twitter. And my account is private. Thanks for asking.
I could have phrased that better — it’s a lot of work, which is impressive. What makes you so interested in this? Blind is hardly full of people that would appreciate this.
