Politics aside, Twitter/X has become a bad place to share information on and to link to. It's a bad option from a technical point of view.
We can't read a multi-part tweet (or follow-ups from the author) or check the latest updates from an official account without an account, which requires a mobile phone number and sometimes extra verifications. A digital "town square" can't require an account and a phone number to read what's said there.
Same with Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Linkdin, etc.
I wish I understood why the majority of the AI discussions happen on Twitter/X.
Network effect. Most people worth discussing with are already there, so more people join the discussion there, and so on.
Because obviously everyone who participates in a discussion has an account, so they don't feel this annoyance other than maybe when sharing a link to someone else.
Tells me how valuable they actually are.
Read Social and Economic Networks by Michael O Jackson.
A lot of crypto bro grifter crossover in AI.
why not?
Don't be obtuse. the reasons why not were spelled out in the GP.
