Big techs’ have forgotten that social media is for people to interact and connect.

Our data belongs to us, and no one has the right to use it without permission.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    As Ivanovs points out, X owner Elon Musk has ambitions to enter the AI market with another company, xAI.

    This leads him to theorize that Musk likely intends to use X as a source of data for xAI — and perhaps Musk’s recent tweet encouraging journalists to write on X was even an attempt to generate more interesting and useful data to feed into the AI models.

    In fact, Musk has previously stated that xAI would use “public tweets” to train its AI models, so this is not much of a leap.

    Musk also filed suit against unknown entities for scraping Twitter data, which also may have been for the purpose of training artificial intelligence large language models.

    Musk essentially confirmed the privacy policy change, responding to a post on X to clarify that the plan is to use “just public data, not DMs or anything private.”

    X no longer responds to press requests with a poop emoji as it had following Musk’s takeover of the social network.

      Wow they chose to semi-hijack a common acronym for explainable AI (XAI), for a new company that’s likely unethical. Why do companies do this, hijacking existing words with benevolent meanings then eventually dirty them?
