X AI ALGORITHM UPDATE (BIG ONE) 🚨
X updated their open source algorithm yesterday and the biggest number in it is gone: copy link went from 20 to 0 points. Small accounts should focus on: posts people like, reply to and stay on (so stop counting on link copies)
tl;dr:
- on Nov 13 X's open source code set the score for copying a post's link to 0
- copy link: 20 → 0
- it was the top score in the whole system, 4x a reply
- the code also names a "copy link bait" spam check
- likes (0.708), replies (5) and DM shares (5) didn't move
full details:
- The number that's gone
Since I started reading X's open source code in August, one number sat at the top: 20, for someone tapping share and copying your post's link. Nothing else came close.
As of the Nov 13 release, it's 0.
X still guesses who'll copy your link. It just multiplies that guess by 0 now.
X didn't explain it. It's just what the code says.
(I check the open source algo daily with Claude and share updates with you)
- Cross it off your list
My own checklist called copy link the biggest number. Last week's post said it too.
It was true then. It isn't now. If you saved that list, cross that line out.
- The "copy link bait" check
X's code now mentions a spam check called "copy link bait". In the code it adds a spam label to the post, and that label already keeps a post out of strangers' feeds.
It only shows up in a test, so I can't see if it's running or how strict it is.
My read: X saw people baiting link copies, so it turned the score off and built something to catch the bait. That's a read, the code doesn't say why.
- Why that matters if you're small
If your plan was posts people copy the link to, that plan now earns 0 in X's ranking.
A copied link can still bring people in from outside X. It just doesn't push your post up anymore.
What still pays: likes at 0.708 (the highest ever), people staying on your post, replies at 5 and back and forth with mutuals at 20.
- Also new: photo and video tags
If a post has a spam label, people you tag in its photo or video who don't follow you won't get notified. Same idea as last week's rule for replies.
- What didn't change
Every other score. Your new posts still get their extra push in the first 2 hours and first 200 views, and early likes still pick which one gets it.
Here's a recap of what you should be doing:
- aim for likes, replies and time spent, the copy link score is gone
- a DM share still earns 5, same as a reply or a quote
- likes sit at 0.708, never higher
- time on your post keeps counting at its best rate yet
- 10+ seconds after someone taps in adds 0.385
- write your replies yourself, under big accounts most of all
- give people a reason to hang around your profile
- in videos the opening seconds carry it, an open alone scores 0
- posts read to the end help X find you strangers
- smaller accounts (below 50K) get a shot at a spot near 16 for a fresh original
- early likes decide which new post gets that spot
- post when your followers are awake, the push lasts 2 hours and 200 views
- mutuals going back and forth earn 20, so follow back the regulars
- only your originals ever get shown to strangers
- like 1 and like 32 each unlock another way to reach strangers
- one strong post per feed, your second only counts 62%
- clips longer than 10 seconds for the video lists
- a post likely to win you a follow gets +4
- give your pinned post a look, it can affect the whole account
What you should NOT be doing:
- counting on copy link shares, they score 0 now
- baiting link copies, the code names a spam check for exactly that
- a spam label also stops your photo tags reaching non-followers
- AI-written replies under big accounts, "llm slop" is a flag X uses
- copy-paste replies, labeled ones skip non-followers' notifications
- chasing taps, 0.274 and dropping
- drifting off your topic, each probable "not interested" takes 53.07 away
- videos people open and leave, the open itself earns 0
- posting at 3am, it wastes the 2 hour push
- expecting replies and reposts to reach strangers
- an insult label, it hides that post from non-followers
- earning a misinfo or low quality label, which adds a warning and locks strangers out of liking or sharing
- 3 adult photos or videos among your latest 5 posts, that puts a label on you
- forgetting videos get rechecked at 64 and 512 likes
- one account label and strangers stop seeing you
- pinning a link to a site X rates badly, that can mean a label for a week
- posting your own old words again risks the copypasta flag
- a low quality link plus tagged strangers reads as spam
- bait for engagement, big or small it gets a label
- several posts back to back, they split the same feed
- hashtag piles, they do nothing
- bookmarks for reach, they score 0
- hoping a 3 day old post still lands in For You, it stops at 2 days

Unexpected bestie meetups💀>>>
🎥A thread 👇
When BTC takes a deep dive, I don't want my entire market perspective to turn red with it. 😂
I've just updated my GT Watchlist on
@GeckoTerminal with four memes: PEPE, BONK, Nihao and $FOOD.
I'm keeping an eye on their communities, pool liquidity and trading volume. When the hype cools down, I want to know which ones still have real market activity.
My routine is simple: open GT on my phone, check my saved pools, compare price action and volume, and see what's changed.
The best part? Creating a Watchlist is incredibly easy. Just find the tokens or pools you want to follow, add them to your list, and they're all organized in one place. No more searching for the same coins every time I open the app.
A falling market isn't a reason to stop paying attention.
This isn't the time to surrender and walk away. It's time to stay alert and spot opportunities. 🐸
Do you have any suggestions for me to add to this list?

I think the best case is to make the "monitor" as un-agentic as possible.
We don't mind being "monitored" by various random tiny insects we don't even notice, even guard dogs are fine, but we really do mind if it's a globally connected networked system. And the intermediate case, human security guards with no recording equipment, we mind only a medium amount.
The best idea I've come up with so far is to make these monitoring devices out of open-source verifiable hardware that has etched on it an open-weight LLM that classifies for a limited number of activities (basically, just violence; sorry, no scanning for jaywalking or not wearing a mask or drugs or unauthorized manufacturing or illegal immigrants, really just violence) and only records and forwards if that's what it sees. The device has no storage, no ability to load new algorithms, this is all it does.
Also, a hash of every recording is published onchain (and a device can't record the next one until it sees confirmation of the previous one) so we can all count how much recording is done.
Finally, everyone has a legal right to take any such device they see and grab it and dissassemble and verify the hardware themselves. Explicitly fund university clubs, hacker groups, etc to regularly do this.

When my best friend decides to kiss me
Force: A big reason why? Wemby's 8-foot wingspan and interior assertiveness have helped him throw down an NBA-best 62 dunks this season – 20 more than the next-closest player (Kessler: 42)
Even More Amazing? Those 62 dunks are more than 22 of the NBA’s 30 teams
And it’s paying off with more than just highlights. With Wemby eating inside, the Spurs boast an NBA-best 121.7 offensive rating during their 10-game win streak.

My mom fed a homeless man behind our house for 20 years.
Three meals a day, even when we couldn’t afford electricity.
I hated her for it.
The day after her funeral, that same man took my hands, looked me straight in the eyes, and said:
“Before she died, she begged me to stay silent.”
I honestly had no idea what he was talking about.
For 20 years, this man had lived in a makeshift shelter behind our rental house.
My mom brought him breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Every single day.
And the crazy thing was, we were poor too.
My sneakers had tape covering the holes. Sometimes we struggled to pay our bills, and there were days when we couldn’t even afford electricity.
But somehow, my mother always found enough food to feed him.
I never understood it.
I remember coming home two days before Christmas and finding a yellow eviction notice taped to our front door.
We were struggling to keep a roof over our heads, yet my mother was still preparing three meals a day for a stranger.
That night, I finally lost my temper.
Me: “Maybe if you stopped feeding strangers, we wouldn’t live like this!”
My mom turned around so quickly that I knew I had crossed a line.
Mom: “Don’t you ever DARE say that again.”
I had never seen her that furious before.
I didn’t understand why she was defending him so strongly when her own child was going without things.
I moved out when I turned 18.
We fought less after that, mostly because I stopped asking questions.
But the man stayed.
Year after year, his little shelter remained behind our house, and my mother continued feeding him.
Then my mom got sick.
Cancer made her small.
She became quiet, and it was the kind of quiet that scares you because you know something terrible is happening.
Two weeks before she died, she reached out and grabbed my wrist.
Her grip was so weak that it broke my heart.
Mom: “Promise me you’ll keep feeding him.”
I looked at her.
Honestly, I wanted to say no.
I wanted to ask why she was still worrying about that man when she was the one who needed help.
But you don’t lie to a dying mother.
So I promised.
My mom eventually passed away.
The day after her funeral, I prepared the best meal I could, put it on a plate, covered it with foil, and drove to her house.
I had promised her I would keep feeding him.
But when I got there, the man was gone.
His shelter had been completely cleared out.
Everything was gone.
The ground had even been swept clean, as if those 20 years had never happened.
I stood there holding the warm plate, wondering where he could have gone.
Then I noticed something.
A black SUV was parked at the curb.
Standing beside it was a man wearing an expensive wool coat.
He was clean-shaven, well-dressed, and looked nothing like the homeless man I had known for 20 years.
But the thing that caught my attention was what he was holding.
My mother’s old silver locket.
The same locket she had told me she lost when I was eight years old.
He looked at me and said:
Man: “I thought you wouldn’t come.”
I stared at him.
Me: “Wait… is that you? What’s going on?”
He smiled, but his expression was unsteady.
His eyes were already filling with tears.
Man: “Your mom hid something from you.”
I felt my stomach tighten.
Me: “What did she hide?”
He looked at the plate in my hands before responding.
Man: “Before she died, she begged me to stay silent.”
My blood went cold.
Me: “Silent about what?”
He gently shook his head.
Man: “Sit down. You shouldn’t hear this standing in the cold.”
We sat on the front steps.
The plate was still warm between us.
He turned my mother’s silver locket over in his palm as though it might break.
Then he began telling me something I never could have imagined.
Man: “My real name is Vernon Hale. Before all this, I owned a company. I had a big house in Connecticut, a wife, and a little girl. My daughter was six years old.”
I just stared at him.
