If you think the next big idea in your field will come from inside the field, you're probably wrong.

Is X really policing content? I think all platforms need to do a better job (Telegram especially) but X is all too willing to turn a blind eye to hate. latimes.com/business/story/2… Back in 2023, we found a disturbing trend about the spread of hate on X: ojs.aaai.org/index.php/ICWSM…

Elon Musk's X says it's policing harmful content as scrutiny of the platform grows

X, formerly Twitter, released a formal global transparency report Wednesday for the first time since Musk took over the social media platform.

Diffusion is the rising tide that eventually submerges all frequencies, high and low 🌊 Diffusion is the gradual decomposition into feature scales, fine and coarse 🗼 Diffusion is just spectral autoregression 🤷🌈

a young, fluffy, black and tan malamute lays outside on a partly cloudy day. the markings under her eyes are shaped like perfect upside down triangles, and she has a neat black rectangle on her snout. she looks at the camera with a curious expression, her ears perked and her head tilted ever so slightly to the left.

What can be done to combat rising misinformation on X?

Hatred, incitement and the rapid spread of misinformation: it's all kicking off on X, driven in part by its billionaire owner Elon Musk, who's depicting himself as a champion of free speech.
