Elon Musk’s X to hire 100 content moderators in wake of Taylor Swift, AI fiasco

It’s not a lesson learned. X will be legally liable for damages. They are setting up a team of moderators to mitigate that liability and show lawmakers they can regulate themselves so they can head off potential regulations.

Much like his PR visit to Concentration camps Musk is doing it to escape consequences.

Job requirements:

• at least two years of content moderation in twitter

Then today, Elon banned searching for her name entirely because of it

He says it's because of the deepfakes. But the right was absolutely furious when Taylor simply told people to register to vote, and neo-fascist Musk is absolutely going to take the opportunity to diminish her reach.

The AI porn (in the collection of the Twitter AI fakes I found) wasn't even very good. I've seen far better Photoshop fakes. So I'm not saying it's cool, but I don't think AI has moved the bar for fake celeb porn.

I could generate 30 fake images of TS in an hour on the computer in my basement. Way more if I paid an online service. I don't need someone else generating them. But if I wanted to see fakes of her naked, I could find 100 pics in a Google search which at least all have the correct number of fingers and legs. But in reality I don't find fakes of any variety hot at all. I'd rather see a normal person willingly pose nude than a celebrity fake.

I couldn't give a shit about the nudity or AI angle. But when you use someone's body, fake or real, to harass and humiliate them or share something that is then used to harass someone, you should be held financially and/or criminally liable for that behavior as circumstances dictate.

Someone should post Elon musk porn fakes, so he will ban his own name from search...

This might be the one thing that gets AI-generated porn of real people legislated.

In other news searches for Taylee Swiff porn are up 500%

A couple of the photos were pretty hot. Flattering. I would say one-third to half of them didn't quite get her face right for some reason. All the Muppet picture ones were crystal clear, perfect details, and kinda funny just on account of being completely absurd. 😂

500 million tweets per day in 2013 So, yeah, that's only 10,000 per minute per moderator for an 8 hour shift. I've doomscrolled pretty hard, but not that hard.

Not in this economy. Everybody else in this sector is already downsizing. I expect them to announce a round of layoffs soon.

/s Only partially though. Sad times.

I’m not sure it’s that as much as it’s Swift’s potential ability to sway public opinion and/or hire an army of lawyers to really bog down X.

It sucks that it’s happening to her (or anyone for that matter), but her status may be great enough for the law makers to move on this. Also, he status is definitely great enough to force Musk to do SOMETHING, at least superficially to appear as though X isn’t just a more polished 4Chan.
