This is a copy & paste from his updated Terms of Service, the exact words.) Part of the reason is so that his AI tool can use this content as part of its data modelling (it’s not really intelligence) for his Grok tool. He’s not the only Big Tech corp to do this.

Hoping to see you on Bluesky… support.bluesky.com/hc/en-us…
if you saw that notice about a Terms of Service update, this is the main clause it changed. it explicitly lets twitter use your posts and any attached media — including images, videos, and their audio — for the training of AI models like Grok. it will be in effect November 15.

Patrick McGoohan: "The Rovers are the sheepdogs of the allegory. When people start to ask too many questions or assert their individuality, the Rovers act as a stifling force. If one begins to stray from the herd, Rovers are sent out to bring them back." Stifling, indeed...

I've come across A LOT of good 17th- and 18th-century Quaker names over the past 3.5 years, as I've worked on my thesis. Now that my thesis is done and submission is near, it's time to share the more than 90 wildest early Quaker names I've found (in alphabetical order):
