AI news without using X
AI news without using X Aug 3, 2026 I’ve mentioned a few times how the AI community is overwhelmingly still using X. This is annoying because I’m fascinated with AI, and I like to know throughout the week what big changes are happening in the industry. I stopped posting to Twitter over a decade ago.
