@mikeydsoftware @TomWatkins1994 @theo @grok It’s not illegal to be a dick on the internet. If it were, you’d have bigger things to worry about.

@TomWatkins1994 @theo @grok Hey Tom, go fuck yourself, we have laws in the US, what he did was illegal imo.

Little tech weenie @theo may have just committed libel against me! Be very very careful bud, or you'll find ur ass in court! I think already may have done it! The prick deleted the post, but too late fuck face!

@uae2me @nikitabier @Rainmaker1973 @ViralRushX It already does do this. But that attribution redirects the money to the original creator. So people try to circumvent it.

That’s not what I mean. I’m not asking X to show people how to bypass detection. I’m saying if a video matches an original upload, X should automatically attribute it to the original creator or link the source. AI can detect more than cropping: frames, audio, music, images, and visual similarity. That protects the owner, not the thief.

Chinese Dunhuang dance resurrects the breathtaking "flying apsaras" and whirling figures from the 1,000-year-old Buddhist murals found in the UNESCO World Heritage Mogao Caves.

@paulg @NatPurser When the best in the world gravitate towards one place, and you see things as 'the USA vs rest-of-world'. 45% being non-US feels disproportionate. Where really it's surprising that the 55% of the 'best in the world' is pulled from 5% of the worlds population.

@NatPurser I haven't either. I think one reason is that successful people naturally end up spending time with other successful people, and in most fields a lot of those are immigrants.

the replies encapsulate the inherently chud nature of racism: “i get that immigrants make the country more prosperous and innovative, but i’d rather immiserate myself and my community than live around non-white people”

But if I tell you ‘this video was created by @uae2me’ So you go and flip the video, add a filter, you upload it again and it says the same, so you edit the video again, cropping a little, then I ask ‘did you create this, is it your original content?’ You now know that flipping and filtering didn’t work to circumvent the system, but cropping did. Now you know how to circumvent the detection every single time. Making the system broken.

I agree that if you didn’t create or record it, you shouldn’t claim ownership or monetize it as original content. My point is different: many videos circulate on WhatsApp, Telegram, or other platforms with no visible source. A warning system would not help people steal. It would help honest users either credit the original creator, quote the original post, or avoid uploading it at all. That protects copyright owners better.

@uae2me @nikitabier @Rainmaker1973 @ViralRushX This just give you instant feedback as to whether your attempt to circumvent the original content identification. You know if you created/recorded a video or not. If you did not record it, someone else owns the copyright. And the rights to make money from it.

X should add a warning before uploading a video: “This video was posted before” + original source link. Most users can’t know if a clip is exclusive or just widely circulating online. Punishing stolen content is fair, but creators need tools to identify the original source before posting. Attribution should be built into the upload flow.

@theo @an0n_an0n_an0n There’s a weird feeling I get by you saying publicly you are a broker to your audience. Of course it’s true. If it weren’t, why would advertisers pay you? But saying it feels weird.

@an0n_an0n_an0n Why do you expect handouts? My audience is not free. Pay me $5,000 and I'll let you reply all you want :) x.com/theo/status/20…

Notice how the dude changes his comments so not just anyone can comment. These people are WEAK. Thats the downside of the very liberal tech. They hate discneting opinion. They love to virtue signal. Its cowardice. Open the comments.

@nikitabier Bye @CollinRugg

Over the past month, we have identified a number of large accounts that have been programmatically reuploading content from smaller accounts to game the revenue share program and circumvent crediting the original author. We are now identifying these posts and allocating the impressions entirely to the creator. If you have insightful commentary about a post, we recommend using the Share Video or Quote feature to ensure your posts are properly attributed.

so many questions. why not put it in space? how are they getting the power up there?

@sama Was just about to report this. Updated. Fixed. Nice.

new codex ships today!

@Mid30sManhattan That’s not even official. I put it there. Free weed.

Just got through security at the airport. Who tf is using this AFTER they’ve already made it through security?

@sekachov @peduarte @raycast @calcom @Spotify @linear It’s not exactly feedback if it’s either intentionally or ignorantly misleading.

@karayan @uncledoomer @grok I normally would fact check. But I don’t even need to. Your evidence is a screenshot of a photo. If this was even partially true, the FDA and CDC might not do anything, but every other country where the govt is paying for healthcare would.

@pmjohnson @uncledoomer @grok

every fat celebrity is on ozempic now and you are legally required to praise them and their "journey"

@karayan @uncledoomer @grok Have you ever lifted 100lbs? Do it regularly you’ll gain muscle. Do it every time you move you’ll gain a lot of muscle. Stop doing it, you’ll lose that muscle. That’s all that’s happening here. If you’re 100lbs overweight, you’re always lifting.

@uncledoomer @grok What does ozempic do to muscle and bones? How many lawsuits are attributed to ozempic side effects?

@JaneMcApine @samreich ep 5?

SATISFYING...

@GregorySchier @bgdnandrew Firstly, chunky, fragile and expensive would apply to both a vertical and horizontal flip. Secondly, that’s not how screen sizes work. The 7.7” is twice as big as the 5.3”

@bgdnandrew You want a chunky, fragile, and expensive folding phone just to get an extra inch of screen? There's a reason no one buys them.

A vertical flip would have sold like crazy. No one is going to buy this.

@bscholl @Starlink ‘Amazon were desperate so we got a better deal.’

Delta: we skipped over @Starlink because Amazon has really good free shipping They should explain this in a way their passengers will understand.

@emanueledpt @useRemodex A, primary/bigger click target off the bottom. People will more precisely tap the smaller tap targets, resulting in less false taps on the bottom of the screen app-close tap target. Also those taps are less frequent.

Trying a new composer layout for @useRemodex A or B? (and why)

@theo @subproject_22 @dok2001 @eastdakota @Cloudflare @shadcnrun And for the record. I was confused when I first saw shadcn.run - I thought it was an official thing.

@theo @subproject_22 @dok2001 @eastdakota @Cloudflare @shadcnrun Trademarks are defined by usage. Not registration. If someone would be confused by you using a name, it's trademark infringement. It's just a much easier time if you register it.

Hey @dok2001 @eastdakota @Cloudflare - my free product is being attacked by Vercel, please send help 😭 Did you know you can’t use the “shadcn” name without his majesty’s approval?

@evilrabbit_ @shadcnrun @subproject_22 Add being an entitled prick to the list

@shadcnrun @subproject_22 It’s not the company. It’s the creator of the library telling you directly that he doesn’t like your behavior, while you’re simultaneously using his product and being disrespectful toward him.

If they can’t copy it, they start threatening. Vercel can’t handle fair competition. Imagine a billion-dollar company threatening a 100% bootstrapped indie creator.
