I wouldn't call that particular tweet "posturing". He's throwing out some facts that large number of followers read and many reply to. There's some legitimate give-and-take going on.
I find X immensely helpful for what I'm interested in: programming and machine learning. Most if not all of the people whose research & work I'm interested in are on X (Carmack included).
I think you need to deal with your own biased way of thinking before trying to judge other people.
I just created a new account on X to see what it looks like nowadays. It was shocking to see that of the top 100 trending tweets on a fresh account that doesn’t follow anyone, at least 10 were people showing off how much they hate other people.
I’m not exaggerating. It’s a platform that thrives on hate, with maybe some useful information in between.
Yes, the algorithm is horrendous. You can opt out of the algorithm. Follow people you like, use the following timeline or a third-party API, and you will never see the bad content. It's pretty simple.
Yeah it is genuinely terrible and getting worse. It's kinda fine if you have your own little bubble and can adapt to frequent algo changes and only use the "following" tab, but then you miss on sometimes pretty good recommendations. I used to tell people to get on there to have the latest AI news by a few good accounts, I don't anymore, I don't want to expose them to all of that hate.
he also told the world he worked to get a pedophile elected president of the usa, and uses his untold billions to coerce others, silence liberalism and democratic thought, and harm minors and healthcare because he has his own familial issues. not really a great platform to be using and enabling tbh

> audience that could usefully reflect on their prognostications isn't there.
This is your own bias talking.
Carmack is on the record as pro-Musk.
Funny, I was got the vibe form Carmack that he's the kind of person who will crush everyone around him if he ever gets power.
Apropos, this older comment of mine https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37809597
He clearly had a sense of his technical skills and used that as hostile leverage within id
What does that have to do with the content of the post? Are you functionally illiterate?
They got used to it and there is no other place really. Other websites don't have the community and outreach.
I dislike x.com but twitter has a good niche so it sticks.
I find the antifa lmao

I already deleted the account. I'm doing fine without X.

You can get the latest AI news everywhere. I don't think I'm missing out not being on X.
"Biased"
"Judge other people"
Um, who owns X? What did he do on national television in the inauguration?
A Nazi salute.
Have a day.

also it's full of nazis!
The media your brain consumes told you he said that.
Exactly right, it was two: one facing the crowd, a second turned around to face Trump.
