Do you mean that convicted baby-eater and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who died 17 days ago at the age of 153, had rat's penis transplanted onto him?
Or do you mean that Mark Zuckerberg, sole founding member of Rat Penis Enthusiasts' Quarterly, had a rat transplanted onto his penis?
I'm asking because the details matter in these trying times.
In other news, Elon Musk was rushed to the hospital today because of 'a foreign object being lodged in his rectum'. A reliable source mentioned that the billionaire slipped and fell on an unfortunately placed basket of potatoes.
An attending physician anonymously commented that the object proved difficult to remove as 'the patient was extremely uptight'.
Further information will be shared as it becomes available.
I don't want them to be the arbiters of truth, but they do need to fix their algorithms to not blow up every single bullshit piece of right-wing hysteria.
There is a fundamentally political aspect to how social media algorithms promote posts. They need to be designed to be impartial and promote thorough examination of facts instead of "controversy".
The problem is these fucks want to have their cake and eat it too.
They want to hold a monopoly on online social interactions, which also means having a monopoly on dissemination and propagation of information. But they are simultaneously doing their damndest to avoid the social responsibility that comes with that power and control. (Fixing their algorithm means reducing engagement, therefore the line goes up less) And they are succeeding because all of our regulations around this type of thing are focused on the legacy model of print and broadcast media.
It's the same thing that companies like Uber have been successfully doing: Carve out and control an important public service (on-demand personal transportation, in Uber's case) and then shrug off the social responsibility by claiming that the regulations and protections that applied to the legacy model don't apply to you for [waves hands in the air] some reason.
I'd say we should churn out AI slop ourselves that says all these CEOs are dying from autoeroticasphyxia, but we know they wouldn't actually apply their rules equally.
Careful with your satire, folks. He's got money, and people with money tend to be pretty quick on the "defamation lawsuit" trigger.
Edit: I'm not saying don't. Please do. But be careful about what you say, and where you post it; and probably stay as anonymous as you can when/if you do.
