It's not just AI.

Grok is a version of AI that is more profane than any of the other ones out there.

So then if those are the three biggest changes that y'all have outlined, what is the quality of X with all those shifts right now from day to day?

What do we know about who is still left on X?

It's a different user base than what it was when it was Twitter.

Is X profitable?

What surprised the two of you most in all the ways that this platform has changed by moving from Twitter to X?

What does the journey of Twitter and Elon Musk and X say about the possibility of an online public square just to exist?

You know, in the heyday of Twitter, people said this platform is a part of democracy.

It is a part of movements for justice.

The Arab Spring in large part was galvanized on Twitter, as was the Black Lives Matter movement.

There are many people who have said for years that.

A platform like that should be always, more than anything else, a public square for all.

What does the journey of this company under Elon Musk say about the very idea of a public square?

What do you say to the people hearing this part of our conversation who are in fact demoralized by hearing these two established journalists make that claim?

I imagine it does feel demoralizing to a lot of people to hear that.

What do you say to them in that emotion?

And there was an idealism about it.

Well, hey, thank you both so much for your reporting.

Thanks, Dan.
