I set her on my pacing steed, and nothing else saw all day long, for sidelong would she bend, and sing a faery’s song.

Reminder: if you claim you support queer/trans people, but refuse to acknowledge us if we transition, act disgusted by us if we get married/have sex, stay silent when we’re hounded by bigots, won’t boost our mutual aid, and vote against our rights, your ‘support’ is performative bullshit.

So heads up, you all might need to expect another incoming Twitter Exodus...

They plan to completely replace the recommendation system with Grok in 6 weeks - making it depend fully on AI. 😬

A post from Elon Musk's social media stating: The X recommendation system is evolving very rapidly. We are aiming for deletion of all heuristics within 4 to 6 weeks.

Grok will literally read every post and watch every video (100M+ per day) to match users with content they’re most likely to find interesting.

This should address the new user or small account problem, where you post something great, but nobody sees it.

We will also be adding the ability for you to adjust your feed temporarily or permanently just by asking Grok.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.

An elected MP, Reform’s Sarah Pochin says there are too many Black and Asian people on TV - so plain racism - and the coverage of it is buried. Silence and ignorance is complicity, causing lasting damage. When we see racism it’s what we do next, individually and collectively, that matters.

To the surprise of nobody, Grok is sharing an innumerate and exaggerated defence of Sarah Pochin's comments, which is being widely celebrated by those with as or more prejudiced views than those expressed by Pochin.

X has now been crafted into a Elon Musk echo chamber, his Grok AI will now determine what get's promoted

So it no longer matters if you have a large following, if you don't align with Elon Musk, your content will not be seen

Time to finally abandon that hate fuelled site

Musk: X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. ...the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear. In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts.

Just even having Grok read all tweets is something like 90 megatokens per minute.

There are approximately 350k active twitter users per minute.

None of this makes sense.
