Two important changes to timeline recommendations: - New AI/SI ranking model that predicts probable time spent much better - Retrieval model trained to surface posts people read all the way through User active seconds is growing exponentially and hitting all-time highs almost every day:

Rewriting the 𝕏 Android app was also a big deal. It was really bad for such a long time.

Please improve the nationality filter, it’s important for the smaller countries. Swiss gets totally overloaded with german content, even with a lot of hard blocking.

Is it AI or SI? Did your boss @realDonaldTrump give you conflicting orders?

The quality of content people are create on this platform is incredible. Love to see the algorithm working with content creators.

I like to see long, substantial posts on subjects that interest me and noticed I am seeing more of these. It's a better X lately. – at Quakertown, PA

X provides all of the important info I require. From news about the world and financial markets, to literature and architecture, rockets and flying cars. I'm hooked, the lamestream media will have a difficult time recapturing my attention.

I definitely read this post all the way through. Good to know the algorithm is working better. Why doesn’t X use AI to translate videos into native languages to improve visibility for content creators? Something like this.👇

Elon, recently people don't like as much as before and are more passive aggressive, it could be a problem in the longer run

The algorithm suppresses posts that disagree with Trump, his administration and support Ukraine. That's censorship. I follow your tech and space work and those posts show up. But if I disagree with you, they don't. Fix it!

I am suddenly noticing much greater visibility for my posts on 𝕏, and it is a wonderful feeling. Thank you so much! 𝕏 is truly the world’s town square.

As a user: yes... I recognized serving is on time, posts are good. For me. Less and less annoying, useless posts. Again, as a user, for me. 👍

I try to always read through everything Grok says. Love the depth of responses but usually get what I need first few sentences. Reading to be polite and better understand what was found, I like it, skipping over thinking I know it all is not a behavior I want to cultivate.

You're racing towards a singularity here... not every read, reaction or linger is a petition of more of similar content nor more from that person.

I don’t understand why X doesn’t let you create your own feed algorithm through prompting already. Both youtube and muse have already implemented it. Users should control their own algorithm.

I think it's reward hacking, I get a lot of visual content and videos as opposed to what I'm actually interested in, so it just takes longer to get to the posts I like, so my time on the app is inflated.

Elon, the algorithm showed me a post today where someone just wrote the "N word" a thousand times And you were right, I read the entire post. Multiple times

So… you’re just maximizing time spent… is that supposed to be inspiring? I want to be able to tell grok what I do and don’t want to read. For example: no rage bait, no gender shit, no Elon trolling, more science and more papers. Please create value

The model got better at predicting what keeps people here. Congratulations to the model. Condolences to everyone’s screen time report.

...❓️ so if you post REAL thoughtful content > 1 long sentence.. and they dont scroll to the bottom, or click on all attachments/ posts in a chain.... it gets dropped??🤦‍♂️. 👉Sounds more like reinforcing & promoting #short-form #attention span #EROSION, no ??
