My Twitter account is currently locked and I don't look at it, but I'm hard deleting it this month. If you have a Twitter account you don't read, I also recommend full deletion before Nov. 15. Here's why.

Twitter has their TOS now in an unusual state https://x.com/en/tos with two copies of the TOS printed one after the other, with a notice the new TOS goes active November 15.

The major difference I see is starting Nov 15 they give themselves explicit rights to train AI models on your posts.

@cloudfruit @mcc I do. Training data on posts doesn't just affect the person whose data is being trained with. What if you posted incorrect info? What if you hold disgusting views? That shit gets fed into the torment nexus machine and destroys the internet. It's not just about YOUR data being trained. Training AI on twitter is going to have a disgusting ripple effect on what "truth" is. It's going to obfuscate so much crap.

Twitter has to be one of the worst sources to train with. Awful.

@GabeMoralesVR you’re just a lazy thinker who wants to be “right” about things. Expand your horizon and apply logic universally ;)

@GabeMoralesVR @mcc also why immediately shut the conversation down? Have you no capacity for debate? Are you scared of having your beliefs challenged?
