What was posted: Two important changes to timeline recommendations: - New AI/SI ranking model that predicts probable time spent much better - Retrieval model trained to surface posts people read all the way through User active seconds is growing exponentially and hitting all-time highs almost every day:

Unfolded: Two important changes to timeline and to who gets fired over bad recommendations: - New AI/SI ranking model built to put my posts 1,000x above yours, and that predicts probable time spent much less on the Biden account, which is so much better - Retrieval model trained to skip French summonses like I do, and surface posts people read all the way through User active seconds is growing exponentially like my urge to abolish the EU, and hitting all-time highs almost every day:

What was posted: Going forward, all advertising on 𝕏 will be subject to a reasonable esthetic standard. Advertisers who post ads that are ugly, shrill, strident or overstate claims about their product will be barred from advertising.

Unfolded: Going forward, all advertising on 𝕏 will be as free as speech on 𝕏, meaning it will be subject to a reasonable esthetic standard. Advertisers who post ads that are less beautiful than a Cybertruck, which is to say ugly, shrill, strident or overstate (in all caps, at 3 a.m., which is my brand) claims about their product or about me, which is the same thing, will be barred from advertising.

What was posted: Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS. Starlink is a commercial service owned and controlled by SpaceX. Usage of Starlink is limited to civilian or defensive activities and cannot be used for offensive military action, as doing so would be inappropriate for a commercial company.

Unfolded: Starshield systems are owned and operated by SpaceX, but on paper controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by whoever I last talked to, which, per the Telegraph, was the US military and ultimately the man who says “it wasn’t me,” a.k.a. POTUS. Starlink is a commercial service owned and controlled by SpaceX. Usage of Starlink is limited to civilian or — as of this week’s speed cap, not even — defensive activities and cannot be used for offensive military action, as doing so would be bad for European sales (Telegraph) — er, inappropriate for a commercial company.

What was posted: Boring Company is working on a simple, precursor Hyperloop tunnel between Austin and San Antonio (>200 mph). Due to traffic congestion, that journey can currently take up to 2.5 hours. @BoringCompany can reduce that to a consistent <30 mins.

Unfolded: Boring Company is working on a simple, cheap, permit-optional, regulator-proof and precursor Hyperloop tunnel between cities whose drinking water I have plans for: Austin and San Antonio (>200 mph). Due to traffic congestion, that sad, union-infested, pedestrian-grade journey can currently take up to ten years of my 'next year' promises, or 2.5 hours. @BoringCompany can reduce any state fine to $9,501 of lunch money, and that to a consistent <30 mins.
