Elon Musk hires 100 new content moderators in response to Taylor Swift AI controversy

https://twitter.com/nypost/status/1752085407859122478
Elon Musk’s X is in the process of hiring 100 content moderators for a new office in Austin, Texas, an executive said on Saturday.
X in recent days was compelled to block some searches for Swift as pornographic deepfake images of the singer have circulated online.
Attempts to search for her name without quote marks on the site Monday resulted in an error message and a prompt for users to retry their search, which added, “Don’t fret — it’s not your fault.”

However, putting quote marks around her name allowed posts to appear that mentioned her name.
Sexually explicit and abusive fake images of Swift began circulating widely last week on X, making her the most famous victim of a scourge that tech platforms and anti-abuse groups have struggled to fix.
“This is a temporary action and done with an abundance of caution as we prioritize safety on this issue,” Benarroch, head of business operations at X, said in a statement.

Unlike more conventional doctored images that have troubled celebrities in the past, the Swift images appear to have been created using an artificial intelligence image-generator that can instantly create new images from a written prompt.
After the images began spreading online, the singer’s devoted fan base of “Swifties” quickly mobilized, launching a counteroffensive on X and a #ProtectTaylorSwift hashtag to flood it with more positive images of the pop star.
Some said they were reporting accounts that were sharing the deepfakes.

      Freedom of speech not freedom of reach. Someone needs to be the curator.

    >eventually hires back all moderators

    its like when you warn your kid not to do X or else they'll get hurt, and they get all 'youre not the boss of me old man' and then they go and do it and then get hurt and then youre just kinda left watching from the sidelines with a big 'told you so' shit eating grin, but its not really that satisfying its really just sad

          And how does one moderate a user? That is, what metrics are used to determine if a 'user' requires this undefined moderation?

          so strange how they never want to answer this but love to talk so much

          >they never want to answer this
          It is because there are ulterior motives. There is no other reason to hide behind such verbiage. It's textbook political pablum meant to obfuscate intents.

      That's what this horseshit comes down to. Instead the Swift psyop is being leveraged to further the technocratic machinations of the delusional elitists.
      Your solution is the simplest and most appropriate.
      If that twat has a problem with being an 'art project', then just ban HER from the lexicon.

    I bet the new twitter will soon be as censored as the old one. You could tell it at the point he hired the Davos plant. The musk hype is already beyond it‘s peak, eventually people will come to terms.

      They're using DallE to make them so they don't have full control. They have to find loopholes to get around the filters, that's why you see really weird but not actually hardcore images.
      StableDiffusion is run by the user and can do whatever you train it to do, but it's a more involved process and the quality is not as good.

    so it's fine to use AI to make a unique face that doesn't exist in reality, unless it looks similar to the top pop idol used to control the masses? am i getting that right?

    the controversy is being drummed up as a political stunt to draw even more attention. this is just the same ol' rigamarole of controversy used to distract the masses as a vain attempt at misdirection. This makes me wonder what else is going on right now that they want us to ignore.

      Everybody given slightly above average cognitive capabilities has called it by now. Her good songs are from 8 plus years ago. Now suddenly the pleb goes crazy about her, when there isn’t even any good music since close to a decade. The chances of this being organic are rather low. You are completely right this is further strong evidence.

        Did you know more than two thirds of the top 40 hits in the last twenty five years were written by only TWO men?
        They both just crank out thousands of songs lyrics a year and all pop singers buy them in bulk.

          I’ve heard something along these lines, but never looked into it. I‘m quite sure there are some stealthy undercurrents at work in Hollywood to say the least. Quite blatantly a lot of it is agenda driven.

            If I'm not misremembering one of the guys basically wrote every single song that's ever been made with that
            "wuh-oh-wuh-oh!" Kind of whooping vocalization that's in half the millennial pop songs. Masonic code or a goblin who's written 10,000 almost identical songs trying to fill space on his page after his brain has melted, you decide.

      I remember waaay back in the days of my youth, on deviantart there was a rule against hard dicks, but not soft dicks, so a mod had to actually look at every picture of a dick and check off if he thought it was hard or not.
      There were people being paid minimum wage to stare at dicks all day and check hard or soft.

    Twitter is already way more moderated in 2024 than any social media platform was in 2020. I hadn’t touched social media in years, so the first thing I did when I went on twitter was type the N word to see if it really has freedom of speech, was banned in a millisecond for hate speech and now the platform demands pictures of my drivers license if I want to create a new account. I fail to see how moderation and censorship is better on Twitter in 2024 than it was in 2020. Like I can still make a fake Facebook account without a drivers license and if I do get in trouble for wrong think, it’s usually months later, not instantly before anyone can even see my post. Twitter having freedom of speech is fake news. It’s basically Nikki Haley’s wet dream.
