1 00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:04,200 Elon Musk but Twitter, 445 billion dollars and ever since 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,600 the purchase it's been kind of shady. 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,900 There's been things going on behind the scenes and nobody 4 00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:11,200 knows about. There's been tweets sent from 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,100 Elan that are cryptic. There has been things that Elon 6 00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:17,400 is done that have really made people mad, like letting 7 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,500 controversial figures back onto the platform that have been 8 00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:22,300 banned and kicked off for a while. 9 00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:27,100 But now we have the first official statement from Twitter 10 00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:30,400 itself from the company, from Twitter to point, Oh, this is 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,400 from Twitter Inc, blog and I'm going to read you some of it and 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:35,500 we're going to talk about it a little bit. 13 00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:38,800 I want you to bring up some points if you can in the 14 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,300 comments of your podcast app. If you have comments on there, 15 00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:44,500 let me know what you think about this stuff because I think it's 16 00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:47,700 an important step for Ilan and for the future of Twitter. 17 00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:52,000 So here it is, the title of it is Twitter 2.0, our continued 18 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,100 commitment to the public conversation. 19 00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:57,900 Okay, so that that alone says, okay, we're going to be helping 20 00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:01,100 out the people in the Conversation, we're going to 21 00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:05,200 commit to you and this is this is our new statement. 22 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,900 So it says Twitter's mission is to promote and protect the 23 00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:11,100 public conversation to be the Town Square of the internet. 24 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,200 We've always understood that to reach this goal. 25 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,700 We must give everyone the power to create and share ideas and 26 00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:20,700 information instantly. Without barriers, today, we are 27 00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:24,200 a new company embarking on a new chapter, but our steadfast 28 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,400 commitment to this Mission has not changed. 29 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,300 In fact, we are better positioned to realize their 30 00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:32,200 ambitions. It's than ever before. 31 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,100 And they go on to say, we've always understood that our 32 00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:38,300 business and revenue are interconnected with our mission. 33 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,900 They rely on each other brand, safety is only possible when 34 00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:46,500 human safety is the top priority, all of this remains 35 00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:50,500 true today. So let's take a step back and go 36 00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:53,600 over what they're seeing here. And we got to this paragraph. 37 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:59,800 In particular just recently, a lot of big-name huge ad Spenders 38 00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:02,900 Left the platform. They didn't know what's going 39 00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:04,100 on. They don't know what's going to 40 00:02:04,107 --> 00:02:07,700 go on with Twitter and the next month, two months, three months, 41 00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:10,400 four months, six months a year, possibly. 42 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,000 So they said we're going to step back a little bit. 43 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,700 We're going to, we're going to pause our ad spend on Twitter 44 00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:17,900 and then we're going to see where this goes. 45 00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:21,900 You know, maybe maybe he'll on drives it into the ground, who 46 00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:23,300 knows? That's what these people are 47 00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:25,300 thinking, you know, the ad Spenders, they don't know what's 48 00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:28,300 going to happen. So took all the money away and 49 00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:29,800 then Ilan, according to the financial times. 50 00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:33,900 X head called up. And also talked with numerous 51 00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:37,100 people in the the large corporations, ask them why they 52 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,500 took their money out and then he yelled at them according to the 53 00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:43,900 financial times. So of course this is sort of I 54 00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:46,500 think this is damage control. I think this is what they're 55 00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:47,900 doing. They're like hey we need to have 56 00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:52,400 a corporate facing blog post about damage control you know? 57 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,900 Because if Ilan has been doing these things and driving away 58 00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:57,700 advertisers, there's no way they're going to make the money 59 00:02:57,700 --> 00:02:59,800 that they used to make it if he saw the numbers. 60 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,500 Before the buyout. And he's like, okay, we can make 61 00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:04,500 some money with this. That sounds great. 62 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,500 I'm gonna buy this thing and then he buys it and then 63 00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:10,300 immediately all the money like half the money goes away. 64 00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:14,600 Now, he has to play catch-up, yes to do, damage control and I 65 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,600 think that's what this second paragraph in the third paragraph 66 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,800 are going to pertain to. So let's talk about this, third 67 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,200 paragraph, and I'll read it out to you, so, you can get a better 68 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,200 understanding of where Twitter is coming from, in the next next 69 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,500 phase of Twitter 2.0 and this is where it gets a little bit dicey 70 00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:36,500 for Twitter because I think they're doing damage control on 71 00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:38,900 this next paragraph. So here it is in. 72 00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:42,000 This is from the Twitter blog. What has changed however is our 73 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,500 approach to experimentation. As you've seen over the past 74 00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:48,000 several weeks, Twitter is embracing public testing. 75 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,300 We believe that this open and transparent approach to 76 00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:53,800 Innovation is healthy as it enables us to move faster and 77 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,700 gather user feedback in real-time, we believe that a 78 00:03:56,708 --> 00:04:00,700 service of this importance will benefit from feedback, Scale 79 00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:04,200 that there is value in being open about our experiments and 80 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,100 what we are learning. We do all of this work with one 81 00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:11,300 goal in mind to improve Twitter for our customers Partners in 82 00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:14,600 the people who use it across the world, okay? 83 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,000 Now let's take a step back. This is getting interesting is 84 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000 getting fun so they say what has changed? 85 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,500 You know, we're just testing things out in the open. 86 00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:26,500 Now the normal way for software development and testing is to 87 00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:31,300 test things in a small group then, In that group, The expand 88 00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:34,500 the group more, and then have the engineers in between fix 89 00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:38,000 things and tweak things, and then eventually you to release 90 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,500 it to the public, right? There's a release schedule for a 91 00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:42,200 reason. People have been doing this for 92 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,600 a very long time. Now, if Twitter was actually 93 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,500 doing an open testing schedule, they would have said, so in the, 94 00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:52,700 in the future, in the beginning of all of this stuff, because if 95 00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:57,300 you're doing that to your user base, you have to announce it to 96 00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:00,500 them like, Hey, we're going to be doing these certain And 97 00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:03,100 please don't get upset by them. We're going to be testing some 98 00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:05,900 things out. We understand that you know 99 00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:08,400 there's going to be some things that will break but it's for the 100 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,200 better just trust us. It's easy to communicate that 101 00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:14,100 it's easy to communicate that and as a web developer myself, 102 00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:19,700 I've been developing software apps websites for the last 25, 103 00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:22,700 30 years. And there's been no instance 104 00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:25,300 where out a live product like Twitter, especially with 105 00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:29,000 millions and millions of daily users that you would ever test 106 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,100 anything in an Open environment and I'm not Elon Musk, right? 107 00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:35,300 And Elon might be onto something here where you test everything 108 00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:38,500 out in the open and it's a new way to develop things which is 109 00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:41,200 totally cool. If it works and if it does work, 110 00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:44,400 that would be great. But if you're an Advertiser, the 111 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,400 people that Elon relies on, for all of his money coming in to 112 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,800 Twitter, you look at this, as some sort of weird experiment, 113 00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:56,400 and something that would shake up the platform and something, 114 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,200 where people on the platform that are already on there, 115 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,500 they're seeing this Disruption. And you might get a little bit 116 00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:06,800 spooked by all of this. Now, as a developer myself, I 117 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,100 wouldn't personally do this. I would, of course, test these 118 00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:12,900 systems in the background to a small test. 119 00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:15,900 Make it bigger, make it bigger, release it to the public. 120 00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:18,100 This show is brought to you by backblaze. 121 00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:20,500 I use back place to back up my podcast. 122 00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:24,300 My video files, all of my writing stuff at all, my photos. 123 00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:27,300 And you get unlimited computer backup, for Macs and PCs for 124 00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:30,100 just $7 a month.

Same thing. 161 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,400 Normal testing schedule. Cool, it would make sense, but 162 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,799 of course, if you're an early phase startup, which Elan thinks 163 00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:37,900 Twitter 2.0 is and that's what he's running it. 164 00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:43,400 As you move really fast, you try things out and you break things, 165 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,900 and then when you break things, you fix him. 166 00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:48,400 And I've been part of startups before, I've been part of many 167 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,600 successful startups and in that time, when I'm building things 168 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,900 in the very beginning of these startups, we try some stuff. 169 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,300 We try some things that have never been tried before. 170 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,300 We Try some things that aren't in the industry that we're in 171 00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:06,200 and see if they catch on. If they don't, we can them and 172 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,600 we change them. So that's what happened with the 173 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,400 blue check mark, you know, with the 8 dollar check mark. 174 00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:14,000 I think that's what happened is that they were trying something 175 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,900 new out and with the millions and millions of daily active 176 00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:22,300 users, it got out of hand and they realize real quick. 177 00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:26,300 This is not a good idea, we can't just do this with no way 178 00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:29,600 of differentiating, a troll from a regular person. 179 00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:33,300 So I think that's where they're at with specially since they're 180 00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:35,900 working on it, like a start-up, they're building something 181 00:09:35,900 --> 00:09:39,600 completely new. It's a new system, it's Twitter 182 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,100 but it's Twitter 2.0 where there's more things that are 183 00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:44,400 going to be happening in the future. 184 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,200 They're going to be a bank. Basically they're going to be 185 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,400 lets you transfer money between people. 186 00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:51,600 You're going to have your your chat. 187 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,300 You're going to have your wall. You're going to have all sorts 188 00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:58,100 of fun things in Cryptid, chats and Cryptid messages, and also 189 00:09:58,100 --> 00:09:59,700 video and audio. We're going. 190 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,300 Better podcasting on there is going to be better and also 191 00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:04,800 video playback is going to be much better too so they're going 192 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,600 to be testing those things out in the wild and I think that's 193 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,000 what they're doing right now with this. 194 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,500 Check mark thing. So as a software developer I 195 00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:16,300 applaud them for trying new things but it also disrupts 196 00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:20,200 things that are already sort of a standard and with Evert izing, 197 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,800 those people stepped back a little bit and now they're going 198 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,000 to get the idea of what Twitter is doing in the future so they 199 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,100 can make a real choice. It's about if they want to be 200 00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:33,600 part of this platform still or if they want to move on use 201 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,100 their ad spend someplace else. All right, let's get back into 202 00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:39,700 some of the meat of this press release from Twitter. 203 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,400 They go on to say, as we carry out this work, we want to assure 204 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,700 you of a few things first. None of our policies have 205 00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:51,200 changed our approach to policy enforcement will rely more 206 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,300 heavily on D, amplification of via violative content. 207 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,600 Freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. 208 00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:03,300 Our trust in safety, teams continues, its diligent work to 209 00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:07,000 keep the platform safe from hateful conduct abusive 210 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000 behavior. And any violation of Twitter's 211 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,500 rules the team remains strong and well resource and automated 212 00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:18,600 detection plays an increasingly important role in eliminating 213 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,700 abuse. The third bullet point. 214 00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:24,400 When urgent events manifest on the platform, we ensure that all 215 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,500 content moderators have the guidance. 216 00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:29,300 They need to find in a dress violative. 217 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,500 Tent. And here's the next one. 218 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,800 As we improve our policies and processes bad acts. 219 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,800 Actors also will develop new methods of disruption. 220 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,400 This is not new. Our team of experts is 221 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,400 constantly adapting to identify and diffuse threats and we are 222 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,800 proud of our early results Impressions on violative content 223 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,700 down over the past month, despite the growth, in overall 224 00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:55,800 usage on the platform. Finally, as we embark on this 225 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,800 new Journey, we will make mistakes. 226 00:11:57,900 --> 00:12:00,900 We will learn. And we will also, Things right 227 00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:03,700 throughout will communicate openly with our users and 228 00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:08,300 customers to get and share your feedback as we build. 229 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,700 So those are the main five bullet points that Twitter put 230 00:12:12,700 --> 00:12:15,500 in this press release. And I want to take a look kind 231 00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:18,100 of it. Every one of these in a, in a 232 00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:22,000 broader sense and discuss them. Because I think each one of them 233 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,500 has its own Merit. And some of them, you can kind 234 00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:29,700 of see where the, the ad spend is it is all about. 235 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,700 Damage control in a way. So that's, that's my take on. 236 00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:34,800 It is critical thinking, you think, okay? 237 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:35,800 They're doing something good, though. 238 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,700 They're open and they're honest about what they're trying to do. 239 00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:41,100 So, the first bullet point is that is it, none of their 240 00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:43,700 policies have changed. Everything's the same, our 241 00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:46,600 approach to policy enforcement will rely more heavily on D, 242 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,200 amplification of violative content. 243 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,100 Freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. 244 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,100 So none of their policies have changed. 245 00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:55,000 How do they enforce those policies? 246 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,800 Well, that's the that's up in the air at this point. 247 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,600 And they say, The approach to policy enforcement will rely 248 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,400 more heavily on D, amplification as opposed to probably Banning 249 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,900 people out, right? Right. 250 00:13:07,900 --> 00:13:11,000 So that's number one. Number two, is our safety and 251 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,500 Trust team continues to diligent work to keep the platform safe 252 00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:17,600 from hateful conduct abusive behavior in any violation of 253 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,200 Twitter's rules now their trust in the safety team had been 254 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,900 gutted. So about half of that, Workforce 255 00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:27,300 is gone, people have left Twitter, people have quit the 256 00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:30,400 company, people have been fired. They say, Say that the team 257 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,200 remains strong and well resource, but you know, it's 258 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,200 that's objective to who you're talking to and automated 259 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,500 detection plays an increasingly important role in eliminating 260 00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:43,500 abuse. So they're probably using some 261 00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:46,500 AI that they, you know, they may have had before. 262 00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:50,900 But they more than likely haven't built a new AI system in 263 00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:54,200 order to capture, you know, some of these wrongdoers. 264 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,300 So to speak on the platform, since Ilan took hold of 265 00:13:57,300 --> 00:13:58,600 everything. So here we go. 266 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,000 This is bullet. 3, when urgent events manifest on the platform, 267 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,600 we ensure that all content moderators have the guidance. 268 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,100 They need to find an address violative content, basically 269 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,900 train them. You know, I'll cut. 270 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,400 They have the guidance and they have the resources available to 271 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:18,200 deescalate things and to kind of steer things into a less 272 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,200 violative content creation at that point. 273 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,800 So that's basically the same heart. 274 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,200 Our team is well, well funded, we have enough people, we have 275 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,500 enough resources. Okay, so that's what the last 276 00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:31,100 You were all about this next one. 277 00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:33,000 As we improve our prophecies and processes. 278 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,900 Bad actors will also develop new methods of disruption, this is 279 00:14:35,900 --> 00:14:38,400 not new. So as somebody puts out a new 280 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,600 tool, you know, as Twitter puts out a new tool or something, add 281 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,900 something to the platform Bad actors in any sort of way, we'll 282 00:14:45,900 --> 00:14:49,200 find a way to get around that or disrupted in some way. 283 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,400 And they say this is, this is a funny one. 284 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,600 So, think about this for a second, it says our team of 285 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,600 experts and they didn't have to say experts at that point. 286 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,100 But they use that language for a specific reason because if 287 00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:05,300 you're reading this and it just says our team is constantly 288 00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:07,200 adapting to identifying diffuse threats. 289 00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:10,100 The term experts builds trust with you. 290 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,800 Right. That's a simple word to say. 291 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,500 And if you say you're an expert at something, you know, cool. 292 00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:15,900 Okay. Well, you're an expert 293 00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:18,800 astrophysicists. You probably know a lot about 294 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,200 the universe or you're an expert, archaeologists. 295 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:28,200 You probably know a lot about the past, you know, so those 296 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,000 terms are used in. A way to kind of reinforce the 297 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,400 fact that these aren't just a bunch of people playing games 298 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,200 over there, they're adapting to identify and diffuse threats and 299 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,400 we are proud of our results. Impressions on violative. 300 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,300 Content are down over the past month, despite the growth, in 301 00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:47,300 overall usage on the platform and the platform has grown since 302 00:15:47,300 --> 00:15:51,400 Elon took charge of it. So if it's down that's it's 303 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,400 pretty good sign. So, I think they're doing well 304 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,300 there. And the last one is finally, as 305 00:15:55,300 --> 00:15:57,400 we embark on this new Journey, we will make mistakes. 306 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,700 So they're admitting like this is the Is putting the cart 307 00:16:00,700 --> 00:16:03,000 before the horse, they're saying, hey we're going to mess 308 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,200 up and this is a good thing to do because if you're admitting 309 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,400 fault to begin with, people can kind of just brush it off and 310 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,000 go, okay. You know, we knew this was going 311 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,200 to happen and we're going to give you a little bit of slack. 312 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,100 They say we will learn and we will also get things right? 313 00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:19,200 So, they'll learn from their mistakes. 314 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,500 And of course, they said mistakes first, before they 315 00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:23,500 said, we will learn. So it seems like they got to 316 00:16:23,508 --> 00:16:26,000 learn from the mistakes. We will also get things right. 317 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,500 Meaning, they're going to move forward with the mistakes. 318 00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,100 They're going to keep building. In this open way, you keep 319 00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:34,000 breaking stuff and fixing stuff and throughout the process 320 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,300 they're going to learn from that and then they're going to get 321 00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:37,600 it, right? So they're going to make 322 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,900 mistakes, they're going to learn from those those mistakes and 323 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,500 then get them right in the end throughout will communicate 324 00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:46,400 openly with our users and customers to get and share your 325 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,500 feedback as we build. So they're leaving it up in the 326 00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:50,700 air. They're going to do things 327 00:16:50,700 --> 00:16:51,900 wrong. They're going to learn from it. 328 00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:55,000 They're going to fix it and then they're going to communicate 329 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,300 what happened with the users which is great or maybe they 330 00:16:58,300 --> 00:17:00,700 communicate beforehand. Say hey we're going to try this 331 00:17:00,700 --> 00:17:02,800 thing out. We just wanted to let you know 332 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,700 because if anything seems weird please let us know. 333 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,300 And then I say we remain committed to provide a safe, 334 00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:11,000 inclusive, entertaining and informative experience for 335 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,400 everyone will continue to be transparent as we move through 336 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,099 this transition period and we will listen to you. 337 00:17:16,099 --> 00:17:20,000 The people who make Twitter what it is, the Town Square of the 338 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,099 internet. Okay? 339 00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:24,099 So that was the wrap up at the end. 340 00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:27,599 That could have been the only paragraph they ever said, you 341 00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:29,300 know, they could have just wrote that in a tweet. 342 00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:31,500 We were Remain committed to providing a safe inclusive, 343 00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:33,900 entertaining and informative experience for everyone will 344 00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:36,000 continue to be transparent as we move through this transition 345 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,900 period and will listen to you.

The people who make Twitter what 356 00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:08,700 it is, they might listen, right? But at the end of the day, will 357 00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:11,500 they change things in order to make Twitter? 358 00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:15,600 A more inclusive safer, more entertaining, and informative 359 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,500 experience for everyone. There are some things that could 360 00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:21,800 happen in the near term that can make these things, you know, 361 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,400 those terms a little bit better in from a content creator. 362 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,900 Six standpoint, making podcasting available on Twitter 363 00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:30,800 would be amazed. I think I'm making long form 364 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,700 content on Twitter would be amazing, you know, a safer place 365 00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:37,200 would be great, you know, as far as I know they have a team in 366 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,700 place according to their press release here, they have a team 367 00:18:39,700 --> 00:18:42,300 in place to make it a safer experience for everybody 368 00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:44,700 involved. So they want to be transparent 369 00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:47,300 about a to. So what they're going to do is 370 00:18:47,500 --> 00:18:50,400 tell us about what's going on and that's all we can really 371 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,600 take from this press release but it's from the Twitter team, not 372 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,400 from Elan himself, so Elon will have these little tidbits and 373 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,100 that's what he does. With all of his companies will 374 00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:02,400 have Something safe from SpaceX and they're working on something 375 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,000 at say a Starship, you know, say if they're working on something 376 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000 that Starship Saudi posts a picture of something, from a 377 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000 Starships, a raptor engine. And they say, hey, what is this 378 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,500 pipe do on the Raptor engine? You know, one might say, oh, 379 00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:16,600 that's a pipe that we changed because of this, this and this 380 00:19:16,900 --> 00:19:19,000 and it's happened in the past with Starship. 381 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,200 It's happened with the Dragon capsule. 382 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,900 It's happened with Falcon 9's. It's happened with everything 383 00:19:23,900 --> 00:19:27,000 along the way Elon is posted on Twitter and just said, hey, this 384 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,600 is what we're working on, so expect a bunch S'more stuff from 385 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,100 Elan in the future because I think there's going to be some 386 00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:35,600 interesting things happening at Twitter. 387 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,900 And I think what happened was that all the turmoil from 388 00:19:37,900 --> 00:19:43,000 Twitter immediately happened because it's a new like somebody 389 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,200 else is in charge. Now at half the people are gone. 390 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,700 It's like Elon, snapped, his fingers and half of the people 391 00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:52,600 deteriorated, like something from a comic book movie. 392 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,800 Possibly, you know, he's like the fan House of Twitter, write 393 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:02,200 F of the people disappeared. So, It's a tumultuous time for 394 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,500 Twitter in the beginning, but I think it's going to kind of 395 00:20:04,500 --> 00:20:08,300 mellow out over the next month or two things are going to start 396 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,700 going into place. I think the moderation teams are 397 00:20:11,700 --> 00:20:16,100 kind of be more robust in the future and I think that the EU 398 00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:18,000 has something to say about that too. 399 00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:21,700 And that's for a whole other episode. 400 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:27,300 So I want to cue you in on that. The EU in the US are kind of 401 00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:31,700 turning up, he Twitter in In sort of the the next coming 402 00:20:31,700 --> 00:20:35,900 months, EQ, commissioner warns, billionaire, musk. 403 00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:39,000 He must adhere to the rules. So, there we go. 404 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,300 It's going to be.
