Tech mogul Elon Musk, which acquired Twitter in October 2022 for $44 billion and then renamed it X (planning to make it “The Everything App” in the near future) announced that another useful feature of its social media platform has been upgraded.
The community, which includes many XRP fans and meme lovers, responded with a wave of enthusiasm about the new feature upgrade that helps verify real information about X or correct false information – Community Ratings.
Musk announces community notes update, community responds
The serial tech entrepreneur tweeted that Community Notes had finally been translated, citing a tweet from his account that was not in English as usual but in French.
The tweet also announces that now all comments made in community notes can be translated with a single click on the post: “Now, if you see a community note in another language, you can tap to translate. Available today for patrons, coming soon to everyone on X.”
Big XRP enthusiast @XRPcryptowolf once again reminded Musk that implementing cryptocurrency payments on the X platform is the only thing missing now.
A “meme artist”, @X_BEBEeth, also asked when crypto payments would be available on the platform. Many other meme-themed accounts also responded by either praising and thanking Musk (and suggesting that Grok be added to the community notes) or asking him about the likelihood of crypto payments on ‘future.
Musk and other executives criticize Microsoft’s new AI
This week, a new AI-powered feature announced by Microsoft made waves within the cryptocurrency community. The company’s CEO, Satya Nadella, announced the launch of “Recall” – an addition to Microsoft’s Co-Pilot AI, designed to continuously take screenshots of users’ PCs or laptops in order to allowing them to search through these AI-processed archives later.
Musk called this innovation a “Black Mirror” episode and said he would disable the feature. Vitalik Buterin wondered whether this data should be collected and added to Microsoft databases. Satya Nadella said that this information would only be collected locally, that is, on users’ devices.
David Schwartz, Ripple’s CTO, wondered who would ever want to use such a feature.
