While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.

I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.

Benzineauto gebruikt zo'n 5 liter per 100 km en een elektroauto zo'n 15 kWh per 100 km. Dus doe de prijs x drie om het te vergelijken met benzine. Dan zie je dat 0,70 /kWh wel echt schandalig veel is. (Al helemaal als je dat afzet tegen wat […]

I think this is an insight into how X maintains a substantial progressive user base, despite every little notch deeper into racism, cruelty and abuse

They *know* the value of retaining the notification-addicts; those keenest to produce content that helps other users stay on-platform no matter what

Europe is America's biggest customer for fossil gas exports, by a pretty decent margin. One hell of a time to be directly antagonising and alienating the key customer for the already-shaky LNG boom in the US

I think I remain wedded to my original three-pronged theory

- Keep encouraging quitting X on moral grounds (but returns clearly diminishing)

- Keep trying to improve less-bad alternatives (mastodon, bsky, others - uphill battle)

- Encourage regulation where possible (but don't rely on it, ever)
You are the fuel that energises Elon Musk’s hate machine
X is something entirely new: it has the clout and influence of Twitter, blended with the hate of 4chan and the lies of TruthSocial. And it lingers because its users don’t see themselves as th…

So while openly publishing offensive security techniques might indeed help criminals, that harm is outweighed by significant benefits. Every properly trained computer science student should understand how to exploit vulnerabilities. Because the attackers DEFINITELY understand it.
