Linda Yaccarino’s X exit was predictable—and raises more questions than it answers

The former NBCUNIVERISAL Excel working period looked at the top of the social media platform at Elon Musk, to fail from the beginning, as Musk has continuously undermined its authority as an executive president and complicated its already difficult task (on the ritual, and publicly told the advertisers who reluctant to get rid of the Twitter brand, apparently on the bleeding). Recently, Musk seems to be Cleang House, where at least 15 senior executives leave his various companies during the past year. Perhaps the only surprising thing in the Yaccarino period in X is that it lasted for two years.

There is understandable speculation about Yaccarino’s timing, given this week’s failure with Musk Xai Chatbot Grok who will go to the complete Nazis (literally refer to himself as “mechaitler”) on X. This may have been the last straw of Yaccarino, which has announced its exit through the Twitter Twitter as “the square of the town of digital town”. (Musk was more Tarwish, as the CEO who was carefully chosen sent with “Thank you for your contributions”).

Among the many questions that take place in the wake of this separation in which you can implement: Who will take Yaccarino as the executive president of the Musk Lighting Rod Social Media? One possible answer: No one.

Remember that X is now owned by Xai, who got the social media platform in March in the All-Stock deal, where X was evaluated for $ 33 billion and Xai for $ 80 billion. In the era of Xai, I can imagine a position that X no longer has the traditional CEO to move forward. Or perhaps, a person inside the Musk world, such as Katie Miller, who just joined Xai in cloudy conditions, or the Lightspeed Nikita Bier investor, who joined X as the head of the product a week ago.

But the biggest question may be what the Yaccarino-MESHIHITER SORDID episode says about the current path of the technology industry-inside ENON Inc. And in the industry on a larger scale. Was it the inevitable Grok with an inevitable thing when the social media platform becomes a subsidiary of Amnesty International, and the incentives of the economy driven by the advertisement in the latter are combined with the previous? Is this the natural ending point when artificial intelligence has the ability to spread its “perspective” publicly, with little supervision (let’s not forget that X may destroy moderation teams after Musk’s acquisition of Twitter)?

Certainly, all of this raises moral and perhaps organizational questions about the meaning of the social media platform owned by AI, as well as the opposite scenario, as with Meta, whose “family” from social platforms reaches 3.4 billion people. Meta is currently employing some of the best talents of artificial intelligence in the world.

All Grok incendiary posts have now been cleaned from X. We can only hope that Grok does not reach its final shape. But it is better to use this opportunity to try to understand how and why this happened – and how to prevent something worse.

Emimi …Andressen Horowitz moves her home from Dilayer to Nevada, indicating the announcement of the transfer with a blog publication criticizing the Dilayer Court Treatment for Technology Founders and their companies. “We could quietly take this step, but we believe that it is important for our stakeholders, and for technological associations and the broader society, to understand why we reached this decision,” A16z wrote, praised for Magada for “taking important steps in establishing a non -elastic technical forum to solve commercial conflicts.” Will you follow VCS and other founders A16z to Silver State, as the company hopes? Let me know what your opinion is – and read the full blog post here.

We see you tomorrow
