I wish I could say that there are good tips.

Absolutely.

Well, I mean, so that didn't seem to go anywhere.

A lot of things didn't seem to go the way Elon said they were going to go on that platform, did they?

So there's a couple of ways to answer that.

So different platforms have different incentives and different business incentives.

One of the things that was interesting with X was it created some perverse incentives for more bots and more types of accounts to come into the conversation.

Some spammers and scammers who want to manipulate people, particularly, I think it's important to note, financial motivations are the number one motivation for a lot of this stuff, right?

The accounts on LinkedIn are

Sometimes you'll see accounts creating LinkedIn profiles for political reasons.

Oftentimes it's for financial motivation.

Same thing with Twitter.

A lot of the time they're there because they want to run a crypto scam or something like that.

So you'll see accounts that go to Twitter because they want to impersonate people.

And because you can kind of buy a blue check and spend a certain amount of dollars per month to get your content boosted in replies to increase your visibility by paying for it now,

it kind of creates a perverse incentive.

So if you can run a scam that is more lucrative than the cost to run the scam, then you're going to see more people try to use that platform in kind of new and novel ways.

One of the things that we were doing at Stanford right before I left was, or right before the center ended, was you can see what we call AI slips.

There are certain error states or messages that an AI will return when it can't do something.

And occasionally you will see accounts on Twitter spit out that language.
