Elon musk is doing everything except fixing the bot problem on twitter

He tried with a trial in finnland (?) where you needed to pay 1 dollar to create an account and there was outrage

Nobody knows how to stop bots

@12bitfloat

Elon: I want to stop bots by having people pay 1 dollar.

Finnland: Finnish Him!!!

@12bitfloat I think it's a good idea actually. People spend so much time on it, it must be worth one time a dollar. But sadly, peoples attitude these days is that everything must be for free

Maybe phone number verification? OpenAI had no issues with that. Same for Claude. People just give it

The bots are features, not problem.

@12bitfloat are you human? Send a dick pick.

@antigermgerm Someones looking for that german bratwurst 😏

@retoor I don't wanna be identified

finance systems also identify you

could put new users into a limbo

it's not a problem from his perspective.

@jestdotty you don't, but as we see with OpenAI, most people don't care. There are less people caring about giving their phone number than a dollar and it's easier to implement word wide instead of payment options.

That's the real price of privacy people! 1 dollar!

@retoor it's very cheap for privacy. Where can I get privacy for 1 dollar?

@antigermgerm don't buy something that you give away yourself the same day

The problem is the humans there, not the bots

@antigermgerm It's $1 bid at $1000000000.

@retoor you don’t get privacy you just loose one dollar.

@Tounai in this scenario you would GIVE your privacy to spare a dollar. They should allow both options. I really think they're both not bad ideas. If devrant requested a dollar for lifetime, I would do it too. Small price to pay for smth you frequently use, especially if it keeps bots out.

@retoor
Let’s spare both a dollar and privacy by not using Twitter. No matter what choice you make, it’s lost time.

@Tounai my uncle said for fun under a post about a guy that was riding 45 and got a ticket with a fatbike, that his fatbike went 60km/h. Not true, but just for fun. It exploded and got death threats. Later he told the people he was 68 and ofc doesn't have a fatbike 😂 But people on Twitter threaten with death for owning a fast bicycle 😂

@retoor Also for owning a slow bicycle, or for not owning a bicycle.

@donkulator thinking of buying a bicycle

@donkulator I have a fear of hitting a bicyclist. I don't want splattered ostream on my car.

@Demolishun every time you hit ostream with a car, God creates a kitten

I heard that you could be suspended on twitter for pretending to be a bot, that's true. also when it was said that your account won't be suspended for a joke on X I tested this out, which turned out to be false, you will get suspended for a joke.

Just look at south parks account, they're taking no chances lol
