Thoughts about X

[Nomad]

I use X and I have over a dozen accounts (none of the accounts are premium accounts, though). Personally speaking, I have not found major difference pre Musk and post Musk in terms of kinds of content being posted there. These days it is very common for people to term any thoughts that they don't agree with as "hate speech" There is a lot of hypocrisies in our society.

Ah... the beauty of saying "use our platform, you have to agree to our use of your content to train AI".

The latest terms of service seem that go into effect in November 2024 seems to have some up in arms. I wonder how many more ways Musk is going to kill the platform (which I don't use by the way).

I believe that every other social media platforms will do the same thing and that's if they haven't started already without making it official of course.

I think there was a time earlier this year it was said that Reddit was going to do the same thing.

Reddit entered into a paid agreement with one of the AI companies if I remember.
I guess it's gotten bad enough that now even CloudFlare has the ability to block the AI bots easily at their layer.

It is simply a platform where those who run it can decide to do whatever they want without getting the stick for that. I believe that is where the challenge lies as mob mentality is still in existence over there.

It's what I forsee happening on a massive scale in the future. With the benefits that comes from using AI, those who doesn't bend to it would feel left behind. This is obviously just the beginning. We haven't seen the end of it yet.
