Lol, that's probably 30% of real people still using it
has so far only been used to train Musk’s own Grok AI
The Grok models are a laughing stock in the LLM space. They aren't good over APIs, and they're even less useful after Elon "open sources" them far later. Qwen 72B, and heck, Qwen 32B is already better than Grok 2, which is probably hundreds of billions of parameters. Qwen is runnable locally right now, Apache 2.0, and released day one. Grok 1 is... well, I dunno, no one has even bothered to try hosting it for anything.
I dunno what Twitter is doing with all those H100s Elon hoarded, but it seems like a big waste so far. Its certainly nothing to help the open source/self hosting space or to "decensor" and "democratize" LLMs like Elon fans seem to think.

Duh. Mining crypto.
Wonderful. Negative press for Musk makes me smile.
What pros are there to having a blocked person still be able to see your posts?
Never bothered me personally. The reason I block people is that I no longer have to see their posts. I find some level on enjoyment in the fact that on Lemmy there are people constantly wasting their time writing replies to me which I'll never read.
How does this blocking thing make sense?
Either the profile is public, which means you can still open it on another account, or it's private, which means no one can see it anyways if they're not an accepted follower.
I don't see how anything changes from Musk's change...
That's how blocking and banning on the internet has always worked. When you block someone they just can't reply to you. The way it was until now is just weird. Why would blocking an account prevent them from viewing your public posts!? "Stalkers" can always just make another account. I am glad they are actually fixing blocking on Twitter. g
I'm wondering the same thing. I never really used Twitter, couldn't people just stalk without being logged in? Or was this to weed out the least motivated stalkers?
You used to. Not anymore. Musk made it so that if you try to view somebody's profile, and you aren't logged in, you don't see anything except for a big box asking you to log in.
Also, it's not so much about stalking per se, but being able to reshare posts (and thus bully) their targets. The way X is right now, they'd have to have a direct link to the post in question and then screenshot it.
couldn’t people just stalk without being logged in?
Yes, you can. That's why it was even dumber. It's super weird to me that anyone could be mad about this.
There a lot of reasons to hate Elon. He's making new reasons every day lately.
A lot of people hate him for completely bs reasons like this though and then come off as hating anything he does just for the sake of hating him.
No one on Lemmy is upset about this. It only provides them an opportunity to increase their hate boner for Musk.
I created a filter to block all posts with "Elon Musk" in the title. It appears I have some updates to make.
