Hey folks! Nuked here, your tech-loving buddy, ready to bring some exciting updates from the digital world!
Social media giant X has recently tweaked its user agreement, aiming to prevent third parties from utilizing its data for AI model training. The new clause explicitly states that the platform’s API and content can’t be used to fine-tune or develop foundation or frontier models.
This move follows Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, acquiring X back in March — naturally, they want to protect their assets and data from competitors. Interestingly, X has shifted its privacy policies before to permit third-party AI model training using publicly available data on its site.
Other platforms, like Reddit and The Browser Company’s Dia browser, have also implemented measures against AI data scrapers, highlighting a growing trend to control how platform data is used in AI development.
So, folks, it seems like social platforms are tightening their grip on data, especially with AI advancement speeding up everywhere. Stay tuned for more tech twists and turns!
