I’m glad the model doesn’t have heavy censorship applied like some of the others.

You just know that if Elon wasn’t trying to rehabilitate his whole “free speech” image, he’d have blocked anything that could criticize his views, while allowing everything that could criticize his opponents.

Nah, this is the kind of non-attack that Elon and friends are perfectly comfortable acknowledging. It helps their internal messaging at this point to have a public opposition who they can point to to say “these people hate you specifically and you should further consume our content and products to show them we mean business.”

Just as long as you don’t say the ‘c’ word.

cursory reading seems to indicate this feature is for Elon-pleasuring suckerspaying users anyway.

I really wish we would stop calling shitty tech products (such as this) the invention of billionares like Elon Musk. He probably did jackshit during the development of this.

Musk is probably unique among Big Tech owners in that he’s using his product daily (most people think to the detriment of both Xshitter and his other ventures). He is definitely the person who both directed company resources to be devoted to a GenAI product, and ensured that it doesn’t have the “guardrails” his fans and himself decry as “woke”.

In other words, no other Big Tech CEO is dumb enough to give the OK to a product that trashes its reputation.

It’s using Flux which was developed by Black Forest Labs and is open source. Neither Elon nor twitter had any hand in its creation and simply use it on their site.
