no musk, i do not want to see how your sausage is made
Yeah Elon no matter what you do, the geek/nerd crowd (that you imagine yourself to be a part of) will always hate you. You are stuck with toxic tech bros and racist pedophiles (including your daddy) for life. Enjoy.
That’s a pretty cool thing to do. But it’s disingenuous how he goes “don’t trust anything that isn’t open source” after having operated multiple businesses based on closed-source software for years. Wonder if he will also open up the code for Teslas…
Funny if it’s the frontend style framework only. Presuming it’s not “twitter bootstrap” anymore 🤣
I’m pretty sure only the frontend will release but no server code will be released.
You mean like last time when the whole world found out he added special privileges depending if the poster was Democrat, Republican or Elon Musk?
So the only thing you can confidently say based on this information is: it’s 100% certain the entire codebase of Twitter will not be going open source.
Maybe the entire frontend so they can train on copyrighted data without punishment. Grok has been sassy with daddy and he is angry.
The uber-rich are jumping onto the opensource bandwagon due to the hype. Just wait. They don’t understand a thing about the philosophy but “free”. Free labor, free publicity, and a better public image for free.
Let’s add it to the list of lies:
- musk is a “free speech absolutist”
- FSD next year!
- E2EE chats in Xitter
Keep it going!
Here is the list:
Roadster, Hyperloop, boots on Mars just to name the few
Didn’t he promise to make the Tesla patent public and when it did they were decades old already public patents or a shit like that ?
Aren’t patents by definition public? You need them to be public to know you are running afoul of them.
If it’s not a lie, it’s not worth it anyway, we have better things now. I do love the boot lickers who want to help him though.
This just a ploy to feed Grok.
Also their code isn’t valuable. I want to see the algorithms and admins logs and bots.
isn’t the algorithm part of the code? or is that split off into a separate repo?
this is the idiot that took down twitter when he yeeted racks out of a data center and threw 'em into a u-haul… ones that were still powered on and used by the site. so anything’s possible… but i don’t think even he would be so stupid as to release the algorithms or his special ‘tweaks’ to them.
Yes, it could be part of the code but you are also correct they can separate it out.
It could be to crowd sourced bug fixes. I’m sure someone will be keen to give daddy musk all the help he needs.
An open source piece of shit is still a piece of shit
Melon Susk can go fuck himself with a cactus
For sure he will publish the algo he uses to advance the alt right.
No thanks, you can keep it.
I guess he wants free labor to work on it?
