Despite Bluesky's growth, Meta’s Threads remains the largest competitor to X, boasting over 275 million monthly active users and 15 million new signups this month. X, now owned by Elon Musk, has detailed how posting on the platform grants the company license to analyze text and other information provided for the improvement of services, including the training of machine learning and AI models.
Key takeaways:
- Bluesky, a social network, has announced that it will not use user content to train generative AI tools, unlike its competitor X (formerly Twitter).
- The company uses AI internally for content moderation and in its "Discover" algorithmic feed, but none of these systems are trained on user content.
- Bluesky has seen a surge in users, with over 1 million people signing up in the last 24 hours, bringing its total to 17.14 million users. This increase is attributed to X's shift towards a more right-wing approach.
