Overview
- Musk posted that X will publish the code that determines both organic and advertising recommendations next week and will update it every four weeks with developer notes.
- The pledge includes ad-targeting logic, expanding on a 2023 GitHub release that analysts viewed as partial and out of date.
- European scrutiny has intensified, with the European Commission extending a retention order through 2026 and French authorities seeking details on X’s recommendation systems.
- Grok’s image tools have generated sexualized material, including reports of CSAM and nonconsensual undressing, leading Indonesia to block Grok and UK leaders to demand fixes.
- X is moving to deeper AI-driven curation, with plans for Grok to assess more than 100 million daily posts to personalize feeds, raising questions about oversight and transparency.
