• X's algorithm was changed in mid-July 2024 to boost right-leaning accounts

  The open-sourcing of the X's feed algorithm is a typical Musk's smokescreen. First, while the code was open sourced, the configs and data that determines its behavior wasn't. Any researcher that has some knowledge of the matter will tell you this. Second, that code was last updated in July 2023 [1]. News feed algorithms are updated regularly, especially around the time of US elections [2]. [1] - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• X's algorithm was changed in mid-July 2024 to boost right-leaning accounts

  Sure it's open source but that doesn't mean the public repo is in any way up to date. Especially given that the repos only have a handful of commits from the few months after the repos were published and they haven't been updated in well over a year. https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• "xAI will open source Grok"

  > Wasn’t the tweet recommendation system “open sourced” as well? Does this guy know the difference between open source and “open source”? What do you mean?
