One thing missing from this is that obviously reddit is seeing OpenAI and others training AIs on their data and taking the wrong lessons from it. They're hitting the wrong people with misplaced understanding of where the value lies and how to capture it.
Instead Spez seems to see Elon's taking the sword to Twitter as a role model, which I think misunderstands the structural damage that Elon has done to the Twitter community.
I presume these people have never had a job, where there just is someone else who decides what they are going to do and how they are going to do it. If they did they would see they signed up for a job but with no pay.
The community sees ‘the damage Elon has done to the community’. Corporate sees a company bleeding money being turned around. Regardless if it’s going to work out, investors aren’t going to be happy if their investments have turned into a great community and a monetary loss. It’s not a charity. So they appreciate someone coming in and putting a stop to the charity work and trying to start making money.
That’s why the people that matter, the people with a lot of money, put literal billions of dollars on the line so Musk could buy Twitter. While the people that don’t really matter, the people that block ads, the people that don’t pay, the people that don’t want to play along with the plan to make money, are ignored.
A lot of the voices and mods that are most prominent are saying that it is Spez that is actively damaging the company.
