[61234] Elon Musk reveals X's algorithm and focuses on AI development

Elon Musk has released the code for X's algorithm to the public, alongside rapid progress in developing the Grok model and emphasizing the aspiration to make humanity multi-planetary.

A revolution in X's algorithmic transparency

Elon Musk, owner of the X platform (formerly Twitter), announced the publication of the social network's algorithm on GitHub. Musk emphasized that the system does not engage in "proactive limitation" due to disagreements, but rather relies on engagement metrics such as likes, shares, and watch time. Conversely, users like cb_doge expressed criticism regarding a drop in exposure and claimed this is a necessary step that is missing from other social networks like Facebook, TikTok, and Reddit.

At the same time, Musk is advancing the development of the Grok model, which he defines as a tool undergoing daily improvement. According to joint reports from Musk and other users, the new Grok V9 model shows promising performance. Simultaneously, Musk emphasized his commitment to SpaceX, aiming to ensure the company's independence in order to focus on "making life multi-planetary and expanding the light of consciousness to the stars," a goal he says justifies extensive compensation plans.

Cultural controversy surrounding historical representation

A heated debate has developed online surrounding claims by presenter Sunny Hostin on "The View," who posited that Helen of Troy could be played by a Black woman. Conservative users and critics attacked the claim as "historical revisionism" and "Woke culture propaganda," relying on Homer's classical descriptions. At the same time, objections were raised to the casting of Elliot Page in historical or mythological roles, which triggered angry reactions from users defending the integrity of historical sources.
