Definitely true - at least for those opting to pay and play in Elon's sandbox.
I've never been entangled in daily, 24/7 realtime attachment to Twitter, but many have been, #truth ... I observe and occasionally add to the 'good trouble' reactions to #MuskVirus or big events to which others are reacting. But that's me (social scientist who enjoys observing).
IMHO, (ironically?) there are 'two tiers' now, pay-for-Musk & pursue hate &/or fame, vs. long-time residents ignoring the BS
@lowqualityfacts Fabulous ULTRA-LOW-QUALITY fact (that you are welcome to use): he is my cousin. at least that is what I tell everyone, and some people actually believe it [#truth]
sorry fedi but if you have never taken the time to use macos as your primary os, you know nothing about it and have no right to shit on it. stop being linux evangelists, let people use what the fuck they want
@nano I've been that kind of asshat before and I highly regret it. Like I get that apple and mac are far from perfect but its A LOT better than windows. And some people just want that.
Hell, I've been seing youtubers recomending linux to play instead of fucking windows!
There's a new mayor in #Muskville - and he don't want no stinkin' #truth
What does he want to get out of his toy sandbox with fans? A taste of the froth and bile and #disinformation he so ingests.
And maybe ("a lot of people say") he has a big empty need for adoration, and like #TrumpVirus and rabid dogs, has a keen sense of smell for chaos and disruption.
(1/6) #Artificialintelligence is already used as a #tool in many image processing programs. This simplifies the processes, makes them faster and more perfect. For example, photographs can now be created using text-to-image generators. Nevertheless, AI-generated photographs are not perfect. You can still find errors, especially on more complex images. #technology
(6/6) But what is true? Can #truth be owned? Is there a right to truth and if it does belong to someone, what control and responsibility are associated with it? How do we ask ourselves such questions in this age of global interconnectedness and the rapidly developing performance of so-called #ArtificialIntelligence?

(1/4) “A liar will not be believed even when he speaks the truth.” - We all know that. But it's not that simple. The question of #truth, its meaning, and the existence of multiple truths has become a pressing concern due to recent events like a rathetr unique presidency, an unexpected war in Europe, accelerated climate change, and the popularity of a hyped chat bot ...
(3/4) In 2023, Ars Electronica aims to explore the question of #truth and #ownership. The Ars Electronica Festival invites global participants from various fields to discuss these topics, with the goal of engaging the broader public and shaping our collective future. https://ars.electronica.art/who-owns-the-truth/en/
That feeling when you have two projects you really, really badly want to make happen and you can't decide which one it is you should be spending all your energy on.
I remember learning about some values like humility, grace, compassion, honor, etc., plus admonitions about false idols-in that book #TrumpVirus held upside down in his hate event, as a prop. (Bible)
(Legal) analysts are starting to sound like some (psycho) analysts now, noting how someone so grandiose & vile - the antithesis of everything taught across religions - must be disconnected from reality.
And that plea, unless Cannon comes through, is his only "defense". #truth

ProPublica

Says the woman who voted for Trump in both 2016 and 2020, and grew up on wealth harvested (through Halliburton contracts) from her father inserting lies about WMD in CIA reports (leading to the invasion of Iraq)
