X is stirring the AI pot with a new policy twist!
The platform has updated its developer agreement to stop companies from using its posts to "fine-tune or train" AI models. It’s a move that could position X to make some juicy AI training deals, much like Reddit's arrangement with Google.
This new restriction, spotted by the eagle-eyed folks at TechCrunch, means developers can no longer use X’s content or API to train their AI models. But why, you ask? Well, it seems X is eyeing exclusive partnerships with third-party companies, potentially opening the door to lucrative AI collaborations. Just look at Reddit, which recently sued Anthropic for allegedly allowing its AI crawlers to run amok on the site.

Interestingly, while the developer agreement is tightening the reins, X’s privacy policy still lets third-party "collaborators" train AI models on its data—unless users opt out. Oh, the plot thickens! Meanwhile, X is busy feeding user data into its own AI model, Grok, keeping things spicy in the AI kitchen.
So, what does this mean for you, dear reader? If you're in the business of AI, it's time to keep a close eye on X's next moves. Exclusive deals could reshape the landscape, and staying informed is your ticket to staying ahead. Cheers to navigating the ever-evolving world of AI!
