Detailed investigation from Sky on how X boosts extreme right-wing content into user's feeds. Unsurprising, of course. The bigger question is why so many journalists, politicians and institutions (including SkyNews) feel the need to continue to legitimize X through their presence -- a platform that puts new accounts on a steady feed of hate the moment they sign up.

A presentation by ARCOM (the French Audiovisual & Digital regulator) reveals that "tweets" from Republicans are defined as false about twice as often as tweets from Democrats, based on #Grok-bot assessment (a = 0.691, p < 0.001) and 1.84 times as often based on #Perplexity-bot assessment (a = 0.607, p < 0.001).
(Which was not the case before Musk took over Xitter, when they were about equal.)

Note: yes, I pay for 𝕏, as #Grok is one of the few #AI programs that I heavily use that has no political restrictions when it comes to analyzing data or creating silly photos & videos (of #Trump). Also, 𝕏 is the primary way to contact my #GOP leaders, as they are more responsive on that platform than via phone, email or even mail.

Don't get me wrong, #Wikipedia isn't perfect. But in 2025, a totally independent platform edited by users with no adds, and totally free to use is amazing
Which is exactly why #Musk and others hate it.

Using #grok was already a red flat
but if anyone sends you a link to grokipedia you should back away from them slowly. Or just post the original wikipedia page...

Im Grokipedia-Artikel zu GrapheneOS hat die KI aus »Mike« plötzlich »Dennis« gemacht. Wieder so ein Beispiel, wie sich KI ohne Faktenkenntnis etwas zusammenfantasiert – und das dann als Wahrheit ausgibt. #KI #GrapheneOS
Bestes Beispiel übrigens: Grokipedia selbst steuert keine Inhalte bei – alles von der KI zusammenfantasiert. Da bleibe ich lieber bei Wikipedia, wo Fakten noch Vorrang vor Fantasie haben. #KI #Grok #Wikipedia
