For all its flaws .. it’s still a step up from how Parag and co used to run twitter
Unfortunately, this [0] cancels out everything ten-fold. The owner of the website is boosting the content of himself and the people he supports. This did not happen in the old twitter - not even close. [0] https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm/issues/236

The reporters should be getting down to the point and asking Elon Musk about the practical usefulness of such a heavily redacted public release.
I can think of like 3 institutions that have reporters who would ask that kind of question (The Register, Ars Technica and 404media) and I don't think Musk is going to be sitting across the table from any of them, ever.
Why you take this so serious? The world is moving on. Nobody will trust anyone with their freedom of speech, ever. Is this so hard to see?
Any centralized solution qucikly implements censoring, starts banning users.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but why does Bluesky feel so much faster to load and interact with compared to X? On the surface, both have similar interfaces and equally rich content, yet Bluesky consistently feels snappier and more responsive, even though it’s the newer platform.

Nope, nor did that repo have the system prompts that brought is MechaHitler, nor the time earlier this year where it started injecting Trump into every completion. The Grok repo is a smokescreen for deniability (just not particularly plausible).

Most likely they rolled back finetuning on that thread at the same time they adjusted the prompt.
I browsed through it a bit and these are some details that raised questions or which I found interesting: There's multiple mentions of slop, for example: SlopsAuthorScoreFeature in HomeTweetTypePredicates. That means everyone gets a slop score between 0 and 1, which makes me wish that it was openly visible and that people with a high slop score would get a little piggy emoji next to their name. There's a CLIENT_TWEET…

Why? I've never been a twitter user
Post Musk Twitter is amazing. It lets you see how stories, opinions that you support or don’t are attacked from all sides and Community noted / @grok fact checked … a lot of UX changes too .. pre Musk, the moderation / banning was biased and arbitrary (who is watching the watchers?) .. my personal fav was to see the special tick removed from journalists ..

It’s not. The last “algorithm” release was a random grab bag of code which existed in some of the Twitter repo that might have been tangentially related to recommendations/feed. Source: worked at Twitter in ML/recsys.

Not an ML expert, but is it feasible to train the weights using the actual Twitter feed as an oracle?
It would cost a fortune in API calls, so it's not practical for anyone except internally at corporate.

This is not believable. It's not syntactically valid Python. https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm/blob/c54bec0d4e029f...
(I'm not necessarily saying that's what's going on. But I do seem to recall that when reddit open-sourced, they deliberately chose to redact info related to vote manipulation/spam detection/etc.)

True, but on the other hand, it's not exactly surprising if they're redacting details related to spam detection, algorithmic manipulation, foreign interference, and other such adversarial phenomena.
