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

🚨 THIS IS WHY BITCOIN KEEPS CRASHING BELOW $67,000
If you still think Bitcoin trades like an asset whose price is determined purely by spot supply and demand, you need to read this carefully.
Because that market no longer exists.
What you’re watching right now is NOT normal price action.
This isn’t just an AI stock sell-off.
This isn’t just hotter inflation.
And this definitely isn’t retail suddenly deciding to dump Bitcoin at the exact same time.
Most people have no idea what is actually happening.
And by the time it becomes obvious, the damage is usually already done.
This didn’t start today.
It has been building underneath Bitcoin for YEARS.
And now it’s accelerating.
Here’s the truth:
Bitcoin still has a hard cap of 21 MILLION coins.
But Wall Street can create almost unlimited financial EXPOSURE around those coins.
That distinction changes everything.
Because once derivatives dominate short-term price discovery...
Bitcoin stops trading purely on who wants to own the actual coins.
It starts trading on:
1) LEVERAGE.
2) HEDGING.
3) MARGIN.
4) LIQUIDATIONS.
5) FORCED SELLING.
And that is exactly what is happening right now.
It’s the same mechanism that repeatedly drives violent moves in:
→ Gold
→ Silver
→ Oil
→ Stocks
Once derivatives become large enough, spot buyers are no longer the only force setting the price.
And this is the part almost nobody understands: Bitcoin’s scarcity didn’t disappear.
But scarcity alone no longer controls the SCREEN PRICE.
Wall Street built an entire financial layer on top of Bitcoin:
→ Cash-settled futures
→ Perpetual contracts
→ Options
→ ETFs
→ Broker lending
→ Swaps
→ Wrapped BTC
The 21 million cap controls the COINS.
It does NOT cap the amount of leveraged exposure that can be created around them.
And once that leverage starts unwinding...
The market doesn’t care what the long-term thesis is.
It SELLS.
Look at what just happened:
Over $1.9 BILLION in leveraged crypto positions wiped out in 24 hours.
More than $1.1 BILLION liquidated in Bitcoin alone.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs have already seen roughly $1.9 BILLION in outflows this month.
Once leveraged selling overwhelms real buyers, price stops responding only to long-term demand.
It starts responding to positions.
Hedging. Margin calls. And cascading liquidations.
Wall Street does not need to own millions of physical Bitcoin to push the market around.
It only needs enough derivatives exposure and enough leverage sitting in the wrong place.
The playbook is brutally simple:
1st: Build enormous leveraged exposur
2nd: Push price through obvious liquidity
3rd: Trigger stops and liquidations
4th: Forced selling pushes price even lower
5th: Buy back into the panic
6th: Repeat
THIS is why Bitcoin can lose thousands of dollars while the number of coins on-chain barely changes.
The coins didn’t suddenly disappear.
The PRICE DISCOVERY mechanism changed.
That’s what people are missing.
Bitcoin is still scarce.
But the financial claims built around Bitcoin are NOT.
And when leverage controls the marginal trade...
21 million coins can behave like a market with FAR more supply than 21 million coins.
That’s not the Bitcoin market retail thinks it is trading.
That’s a WALL STREET PRICING SYSTEM built on top of Bitcoin.
You can choose to ignore it.
But don’t pretend nobody warned you.
Bitcoin is now trading around $66,600, its lowest level since August and roughly 48% below the $126,200 high.
If $65k breaks, the next level I’m watching is $62k.
Reminder: I called the Bitcoin top at $126,000 and told you to start buying again around $60,000.
The next call will matter even more.
When I EXIT the markets completely, I’ll post it here publicly like I always do.
Turn notifications on.
If you’re not following yet, you’ll understand why that was a mistake later.

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.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Rubio reportedly set Jensen Huang's downfall in motion... with a memo that hit harder than the CIA report it was based on
The Washington Post reports the Secretary of State took a CIA report on Jensen's relationship with a suspected Chinese spy and rewrote it in his own, more forceful terms, according to one person familiar with it. When that memo's findings leaked, the scandal began.
A former official who worked on chip policy described what Trump's national security team was after:
"They wanted to destroy the influence Jensen had over the president."
Trump still calls him a "legend." The agencies still can't prove she was a spy.
But three bills restricting chip sales to China are now headed for the defense bill, and the one executive who used to talk Congress out of them is gone.
So ask yourself who came out ahead this week, and you have a good idea why that memo found its way to reporters.

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.

I know what I'm up against: Anthropic's trillion-dollar IPO, and everything riding on it. I know my opponents are Ivy League elites. Closed AI is un-American. It runs against everything this country was founded on: free knowledge, open inquiry, and the idea that no small elite gets to decide what the rest of us are allowed to know.

She had no idea what was coming next
That reaction says it all..😂
Microsoft just reminded the entire planet why putting your entire company on one platform is a bad idea.
Outlook down.
Teams down.
Copilot down.
Millions of people staring at loading screens while “the future of work” is offline.
Meanwhile the stock is already off its highs and CapEx is eating the balance sheet alive.
One outage and half the corporate world just sits there refreshing.
Centralization is efficient… until it isn’t.
