Striking how Musk's post saying civil war was inevitable in the UK due to immigration prompted a sudden and large migration from X to BlueSky in Britain. User numbers for BlueSky remain far smaller than for X, but I'd say most of the UK commentariat has now moved across. [image]

Similarweb: daily X users in the UK fell from 8M in May 2023 to 5.6M now, with 33%+ of the fall coming after the summer riots; US DAUs fell by ~20% in that time

The great migration from Elon Musk's X has seen users, especially progressives, retreat into one particular silo

Notably, the exodus from X in the UK has been heavily concentrated among progressives, while socially conservative Brits have stuck around. [image]

X/Twitter user numbers now down by almost a third over the last year in the UK, and by almost a fifth in the US. [image]

If you read one thing today make it this: Another masterpiece from the FT's visual storytelling team, this time a thoroughly mind-expanding dive into one of the modern world's most important objects: the microchip

A detailed look at the modern chip manufacturing process, involving more than a thousand precisely controlled steps to create a single integrated circuit

After coming up against the limits of physics, scientists are rethinking chip architecture like never before

Great piece from @rasmus_kleis on the poor quality and ironically often misleading nature of discourse around misinformation. Report after report warns about deepfakes and AI bots, but there's virtually no mention of the most significant source of misinformation: politicians [image]

Financial Times

Despite the focus on generative AI misinformation, policy discourse ignores that politicians pose the gravest misinformation threat, ahead of big 2024 elections

As we head into a big election year, beware the risks of misleading statements from those at very top X: @fascinatorfun , @jpeterburger , @prateekwaghre , @katray , @rasmus_kleis ,...

Some quick thoughts on why large parts of the mainstream media keep slipping up on Gaza/Israel (and why it was the same at times with Covid): The main reason is a failure to keep pace with modern news gathering techniques, but there's more.

Experts say misinformation from “verified” pseudo-OSINT accounts on X, driven by profit and engagement, is destroying the Israel-Hamas war information ecosystem

Amazing: Google partnered with American Airlines, used AI to tweak flight paths to reduce contrails. The results are in, and if scaled up this could immediately reduce aviation's global warming impact by almost 20% Technology just keeps beating degrowth! https://blog.google/...

To justify the $20 it feels like it surely has to be the former, which will create a hellscape dominated by corporate accounts, professional influencers and rich people (& addicted journalists obv) But that does feel very on brand for 2023 so I guess that's where we're headed 🤷‍♂️

Sources: Twitter could make Twitter Blue a $20/month subscription that verifies users; staff have until November 7 to build the feature or face being fired

Now that he owns Twitter, Elon Musk has given employees their first ultimatum: Meet his deadline to introduce paid verification on Twitter or pack up and leave.
