The man I love hates me because I’m Vietnamese
I have love/hate opinion on Musk. Sometimes he is a jerk. Ignoring my opinion, what Twitter did is much appreciable. Open sourcing code base will allow neutral third party acid test. This put so much burden on Google, Meta, etc. Blind has a tunnel vision on Musk. He is doing what other Tech CEOs unwilling to do. Also he perfected the community notes. It’s more reliable than FB’s third party fact checkers, which is again unreliable MSM. At this moment, Twitter has a better baseline for truth On a different note, codebase under AGPL license. In a sense, he gets free labor from community and make money of it. #tech #twitter #meta #google #industrynews
First of all, that’s not the real Twitter recommendation algorithm. It’s clear that it’s been modified for public viewing. So no knows what has been removed from the algorithm. They also scrubbed the git history. This is what Twitter says the algorithm is. Second, the main objective is to get free work from the community. Which some people may do, but people in OSS know that if you’re using the product to make money off it without a free version, that’s generally looked down upon in the community. Cue the incessant trolling that we’re already seeing. Honestly maintainers are going to have to do some much work to moderate the nonsense out that overall it’s losing situation.
Twitter going open source will put zero burden on any of those big Bois just because some sigma simp think it's cool, sorry
> Open sourcing code base will allow neutral third party acid test Could you describe how it’s going to happen without access to all relevant pieces of data going into model training and inference?
Nobody worth a damn is going to commit to that repo. It'll be all troll and pointless "refactoring" PRs.
RIP Argo :/ You looking for a gig? DM if you are a SWE :)

As someone who until recently worked on this exact piece, I can tell you that it’s a HIGHLY cleansed version of what used to happen.
