Bluesky users are roasting Elon Musk for his blue-checked bot army of fake Xitheads. Musk famously complained...
this is the funnniest thing since he was forced to buy it. accidentally outing his own bots because billioonaire cant pay his bills.
85 5 ReplyWhat? This has nothing to do with his finances? Where did you get that from?
The bots got outed because they all gave the ChatGPT response to not answering a topic.
29 2 ReplyHe's attempting to make money by increasing the value of twitter to advertisers by using bots.
The fact that the bots are poorly implemented is icing on the cake

Xitter, the steaming remains of Twitter
78 3 ReplyIdk... I feel calling it steaming... When clearly is ash and smoke... and some bird bones, feels too good.
4 0 ReplyIt's steaming because the X is pronounced "sh", so it's a steaming pile of Xit.

Great to hear. Preferably from a more neutral source next time. Hard to take it at their word when it's so editorialized and filled w/ name-calling. And I say this as someone who probably would end up on a watch list if I gave my personal opinion of Elon
37 3 ReplyI agree , the source is doubtfull. And about Musk.. we should cut his head without ceremony and ditch it in a sewer... I think there is a lot of us on that watchlist
8 2 ReplyImpossible nowadays to get unbiased news. For instance, despite Reuters excellence in journalism awards, people still love sharing their Daily Mail and Mother Jones.
3 12 ReplyJust read the news from the Reuters app directly, problem solved

8 0 ReplyIn fairness, this is not a new danger. Koch media affiliates have been doing this for decades.
It's still absolutely dangerous, just didn't need AI to be so.

Is the "X" in "Xitheads" pronounced like "xzitheads" or like "jhitheads"?
17 2 ReplyI naturally assumed zitheads or shitheads, given the standard pronunciation of 'x' in words...
15 1 ReplyThe best part is, it all works, because it all sounds stupid!

Szhitheads
10 1 ReplyI usually pronounce 'x' as an 'sh' like the native Mexican language of Nahuatl.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the calls were coming from inside. What’s Twitter’s Grok chatbot used for these days?
