Elon Musk announced a major update to X’s algorithm that prioritizes engaging content. More details will be provided via @XEng. Users will have more control over the feeds.
Elon Musk, Tesla CEO and tech mogul, has revealed plans to update the algorithm for X. This social media platform was formerly known by the name Twitter. Musk stressed the importance of prioritising the content that users find engaging and valuable in a series posts on the platform.
"Algorithm tweak coming soon to promote more informational/entertaining content. We will announce the changes on @XEng. "Our goal is to maximize unregretted-user-seconds," Musk said. He said that negative content can increase the time users spend on the platform but it doesn't contribute to "unregretted time."
Musk revealed that the platform was developing tools to allow users more control over their feeds. In a subsequent tweet, Musk said: "We are also working on ways to allow you to easily adjust the feed dynamically so that you can have whatever you want at any moment."
Musk has a broader vision of how to redefine the way users interact with X. The goal is to create a positive, personalised experience. The changes will appeal to long-term users as well as newcomers by addressing the concerns regarding the negativity that is prevalent on the platform.
More details on the algorithmic changes will be provided by @XEng 's official engineering handleforX. The announcement has generated a lively discussion online. Users speculated about how the system could change their interactions on the platform.
Musk acquired X in the year 2022 and has since implemented a number of updates and reforms that have positioned the platform as a hub to meaningful conversation and entertainment.
Musk has advocated improved accessibility for X's mute words feature. Musk's remarks came after a recent post from Dan, an X-employee, who highlighted the functionality of the tool on the platform.
Dan said, "As a friendly reminder, you can mute certain words in X by navigating settings > privacy > mute. You can do this permanently or temporarily if needed. This feature allows users the ability to customize their feeds by blocking certain words or phrases.
Musk responded by acknowledging the importance of this feature, but admitting that users may have difficulty finding it. Musk replied, "We need to make it easier to locate."
