Still on X? Without notice, X has opted all users into training its "Grok" AI Model. To turn off this setting and stop your "posts, interactions, inputs, and results" from being used for training and fine-tuning Grok, visit x.com/settings/grok_settings and uncheck the checkbox.

can’t think of data set any more low quality than that for trying to get quality answers consistently

Seems a good time to mention deletetwitter.com/

I think you mean β€œto ask x to turn off…” Its not like X can be trusted to actually do what it claims.
Worse still, the page that you link to avoids saying what unchecking the box actually does.

That seems like a REALLY bad idea. There is just so much wrong and biased information on X, I can't imagine any of it helping an LLM improve it's accuracy.

having just abandoned the X app for the browser version (yes, I know, still sub-optimal) for the second time I’m not surprised they won’t allow app users to opt out. Musk has created a company in the image of a 5 year old who won’t stop riding the sleigh until they break through the fence, enter the road and get run over.

I would totally trust those settings prevented my posts from being used. /sarcasm

I can't even get in to do that without giving them a dob, not sure why they are so determined to get that.

Thanks for this wonderful tip! I still have 13 accounts over there, and turned this off for all of them.

I'm no longer on Twitter. Yes, it was painful to leave after nearly 7 years, but Musk has turned it into yet another "truth social", i.e. a gigantic mouthpiece of the far-right propaganda.

Everything from the endless hordes of "blue-check" trollbots to "community notes" is just one never-ending stream of the Nazi nonsense now.

Yeah, this prompted me to log in for the first time in over a year to finally just delete my account.

No reason to stay on this lunatic's site.

training yet another LLM on hate, bigotry, misogyny and literally nazi propaganda

Do we TRUST Elon? The solution is to leave X. There is no other option. For all we know, that switch does nothing.

just did that and spent my 2 minutes there getting good med news from my weather guy so thanks for the prompt πŸ˜€ Now back here!

waving at all y’all from the shore. Yes, I have a cramp in my hand, so my fingers look weird.

Is the Fediverse any better when it comes to data harvesting?

Its open-source nature makes it easier to scrape and compile data dumps by any third party.
