I’m not especially optimistic about US (in some sense) in control of ASI tbc but I’m significantly more pessimistic about China

When I first started at X, this is one of the things I did a deep dive on because I felt it was critical to the integrity of the experienced. I tasked our Threat Disruption team to investigate a number of trends that seemed artificial. The findings: We could not find meaningful examples of foreign interference in US policy discussions, except people gaming rev share in developing countries. This is what motivated the release of the Country of Origin feature and significant changes to the rev share algorithm. The most deranged & divisive replies generally were from residential IPs in the United States—with no signs of using a VPN. Ultimately, X is a reflection of the internet. And that means you will see the full spectrum of human thought. And sometimes the most outrageous takes will catch fire. Having said all of this, there can still be cases of narratives being boosted but the origin of the initial post is almost always domestic and we have hardened our systems in the last 3 months to prevent this.
I love and hate prepping someone for a deposition. To make them understand how a deposition works, the first question I ask is, “Do you know what time it is?” Nearly every single time, the person will either check his or her watch, or look up at a clock. Then, they will say “Yes, it is 10:30.” At this point I just smile and shake my head. “No.” Then, I explain why their answer is wrong: I asked if they knew the time. Not what time it was currently. Me: “So what would your answer be then?” Witness: “Yes.” Me: “Wrong.” They didn’t know the time, because they had to look at a watch or clock. If you are ever deposed and do not have a bitch like me prepping you, remember this key: Listen to the question and answer only what is asked. And only what you actually know or recall. No charge for this advice.
