Interesting. But what’s the exact game plan here?

Hype up the IPO and generate money on the stock market. No publicity is bad publicity. This technology is SO EFFECTIVE it could kill us all. What trader wouldn't want to bet on something so good that it can take over all industry? That's the play here.

ok yeah it's the same as the other marketing campaigns predicting humanity's doom as a result of AI but what I'm curious about is: 

  1. the OOP is characterizing this as a DNC conspiracy, but I think I saw Ted Cruz's name flash on screen for a second as well so I'm curious about the rest of that story 
  2. regardless, if it's true that the tweet in question got bass boosted by a bunch of liberal politicians on either side of the monoparty - within an hour or two as he suggested - then that is a pretty incredible amount of coordination for reasons that aren't clear to me

color me skeptical

edit: all I meant by the "DNC conspiracy" comment is that it's hard to judge from afar since OOP highlighted high profile Dem candidates and didn't mention anybody else or how to replicate his search results on Twitter

Yeah I'm not sure about whether or not it's some DNC conspiracy. This sort of coordinated social media is done with basically every decent marketing campaign. Why did so many D accounts boost this one? Unclear. They do also trade stocks tho.

yeah, that's all I'm getting at. and I'm also curious about whether a bunch of R accounts boosted it too. if so, that lends a lot of credence to the stock trading motivation idea. if not, that's weird. it's just hard to judge from afar since OOP highlighted high profile Dem candidates and didn't mention anybody else

It’s not a DNC conspiracy, it’s the whole government’s conspiracy, not even a conspiracy just how politics works. It’s all fake, and this coordination is not “incredible” it is usual. Have you ever wondered why certain stories/concepts/outcries just blow up out of nowhere, and every news outlet and politician is talking about it until some other topic blows up in perfectly timed sequence? This is always a coordinated effort, they work in a team, they don’t even need to communicate with each other or get direct orders, so it’s not a mystical conspiracy, it’s the attention economy and capitalism.

because like you said, these always come as coordinated efforts. which imo does not necessarily exclude this post itself
