Twitter comes of age

Twitter has reached some all-time highs in the last month.  The first was the coverage of FTX/SBF.  Some of the early MSM coverage was oddly exculpatory, while other pieces seemed pedestrian.  On Twitter, AutismCapital and others tore up a storm.  Every day one learned something exciting, almost unbelievable, and new.  I learned new words such as “polycule.”

The other issue is ChatGPT.  At least as of yesterday (when I composed this post), the NYT hadn’t had a single story about it, and I believe the same is true for WaPo.  There is Bloomberg, which in general is on top of things, and also I have heard of a single Guardian piece.  Wake up people!

Yet every day my Twitter is drenched in ChatGPT, whether analysis or actual chats.  I have learned so much so quickly, and so many other world events seem to have slowed to a crawl.

More than any other time, if you are not on Twitter, you just don’t know what is going on.

Addendum: NYT coverage, finally.
