Musk claims the transfer is “the one reasonable strategy to handle superior AI bot swarms taking on.” Verified customers are additionally going to change into the one accounts that may vote in polls for the “similar purpose,” Musk says.

It’s price taking this announcement with a giant grain of salt, as Musk’s tweets haven’t all the time was enforced coverage or options. Maybe the most important instance is his promise from February that the corporate was going to begin sharing advert income with Blue subscribers, one thing that’s nonetheless MIA nearly two months later. That very same month, he additionally promised to open-source the corporate’s algorithm by March fifth, which hasn’t occurred but — although now he says it’ll occur on March thirty first, with out acknowledging the earlier missed deadline.

Musk has made comparable guarantees prior to now. Earlier than he dropped the charade of supposedly asking the group earlier than making main adjustments to the service, he stated that Twitter would solely enable Blue Subscribers to vote in coverage polls. It’s a little bit of a moot level now that he’s not likely doing these anymore, although.
