Yup. Many Influencers had networks of people who reshared each other's posts. They are almost wholly gone from my feed, which is good. But the whole system has changed now that AI is deciding what to distribute (and pay for). In some good, and some bad, ways.

AI Entrepreneurship Benefits Mostly Those Already Privileged

The people who will actually benefit from AI-enabled entrepreneurship are mostly the ones who already had resources, education, and time. The framing papers over that gap.

AI Curation Era: X’s Shift Away from Human Curators
By
–
A couple of days ago @nikitabier announced that they would be penalized from here on, at least in payments. I got the message. Which is one reason why I have my AI reading all of the AI community here on X and telling you what's important. It gives you a dramatically different view of the AI world here on X than you can get from X: alignednews.com/ai Having your own AI reading the communities you care about gives you a lot better view of what's actually being discussed that doesn't often make it to your feed. No longer are we seeing what's popular, but what AI has picked for us to see. In many ways that's an improvement but I miss the old world too. Curators who read thousands of posts every day and reshare the best are being "turned down." It is unclear whether AI generated custom feeds can ever get any distribution to make them profitable. Running custom AI's costs money. Mine costs $100 or more per day in tokens and $300 a day in API calls (the site is wholly generated via the X API since terms of service here forbids scraping the data). It's an end of an era where humans really have much to do with what other humans see. Now we are in a completely AI run world. I am seeing a few understanding this and building an @OpenClaw or a Hermes system to build new personalized news services for their owners. That will be a must for those of us who really want to see the news in an unbiased way (every AI is biased, including mine, since I taught it over two months of talking to it about what I wanted it to present to me and you). I need to turn this into a business that at least covers the costs that @blevlabs and I are running up, or else it will have to be shut down, which would be a shame, since I know it brings a few people value. Working on that the rest of the week.

The Deceptive Convenience: AI’s Hidden Dangers

The most dangerous thing about AI may be how helpful it feels.

That is what more people are starting to realize.
AI now drafts our emails, summarizes reports, helps us code, manages calendars, and answers questions in seconds.
Convenient, impressive, efficient.

I have a feeling it will get worse until we have a real answer for jobs. Real transparency about why so many believe AI will kill us all. And people start seeing the real benefits of AI. That and we need to throw the book against people who use violence to get their way

Building Leverage for Systemic Change Beyond Criticism

It’s not good enough to point out that the emperor has no clothes. That only works in feel-good fairy tails. In the real world you need to acquire enough leverage to overthrow the emperor.
