X -CEO Linda Yaccarino said she trolled in the social media platform by Elon Musk after two bumpy years.
Yaccarino released positive news about her term in the company on Wednesday, which was previously known Twitter And said: “The best comes when X is entering into a new chapter with the Musk artificial intelligence company Xai, manufacturer of the Chatbot Grok. She didn’t say why it was going.
Musk replied to Yaccarino’s announcement with his own 5-word declaration of X: “Thank you very much for your contributions.”
“The only thing that is surprising in Linda Yaccarino’s resignation is that it didn’t come earlier,” said Forrester’s research director, Mike Proulx. “It was clear from the start that it was set up as the managing director of the company by a limited extent.”
In reality, Proulx added, Musk is “at the top of X at the top of X. And Linda XS CEO made this in the title, which is a very difficult position, especially for someone of Linda’s talents.”
Musk rented Yaccarinoan experienced ad manager, in May 2023 afterwards Purchase of Twitter for 44 billion US dollars At the end of 2022 and cut most of its employees. At the time, he said that Yaccarino’s role was mainly aimed at leading the company’s business loss, and he would let him Concentrate on product design and new technology. Before she announced her attitude, Musk said whoever took over the company’s CEO. Has to like pain very much. “”
When accepting the job, Yaccarino was face the challenge After months of upheaval to Musk’s takeover to the Social Media platform to bring again to advertising on the Social Media platform. She also had to work on and from X in a supportive role for Musks, when he loosened and restored the rules for the moderation of content on behalf of the freedom of speech and restored accounts that were previously banned by the social media platform.
“The CEO of X was always a hard job, and Yaccarino lasted longer than many. In view of a mercury owner who never completely gets off the helm and continued to use the platform, as his personal megaphone, Yaccarino, while he also regularly led fire,” said Emarkmeter Analysis Enberg.
Yaccarino’s future at X was unclear to Muschus at the beginning of this year merged the social media platform With its artificial intelligence company Xai. And the advertising problems have not subsided. Since the takeover of Musk, a number of companies have withdrawn the advertising expenses – the main source of income of the platform – because Musk could thrive hatched and toxic language by mutrilizing the content of content restrictions.
Finally, an update led to Grok to one Flood of anti -Semitic comments The praise of Adolf Hitler included the chat bot this week.
“We are aware of Grok’s latest contributions and are actively working on removing the inappropriate contributions,” published the GROK account on X in the early Wednesday without being more precise.
Some experts have grok’s behavior with Musk’s conscious efforts to form GROK as an alternative to chatbots that he sees for “waxed”, such as Openais Chatgpt and Google’s Gemini. At the end of June he invited X users to train the chatbot in a way in their comments that invited a flood of racist answers and conspiracy theories.
“Please respond to this post with split facts for @Grok Training, ”said Musk in the post of June 21.
A similar instruction was later integrated into GROK’s “requests”, which instruct it to react, which said the chatbot, “not shy away from founding claims that are politically wrong as long as they are well founded”. This part of the instructions was later deleted.
“For me, this has all fingerprints from Elon’s commitment,” said Talia Ringer, professor of computer science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Yaccarino has not publicly commented on the latest controversy for hate speech. She sometimes passionately defended Musk’s approach, also in a lawsuit against media matters of the Liberal Advocacy Group for America because of a report in which it was claimed that the contributions of the leading advertisers on X together with neo-Nazi and white nationalist content. The report prompted some advertisers to pause their activities on X.
Last year, a federal judge rejected the X’s lawsuit against another non -profit organization, the Center for opposite digital hatred that the documented Increase in hate speech on the website since it was acquired by Musk.
X is also in a ongoing legal dispute with large advertisers – including rifunger, Mars, LegoPresent NestlePresent Sleeve And Tyson Foods – About what it supposedly claimed was a “massive advertising boycott” that withdrawn the company of billions of US dollars and violated the antitrust laws.
Enberg said: “To a certain extent, Yaccarino has achieved what it was hired for.” Emarketer assumes that the advertising company will return to growth from X after more than half halving between 2022 and 2023 after Musks.
However, she added: “The reasons for the AD recovery of X are complicated, and Yaccarino could not restore the platform’s reputation among advertisers.”
