Here's the kicker: based on these AI-assigned definitions in the updated terms, your access to certain content might be limited, or even cut off. You might not see certain tweets or hashtags. You might find it harder to get your own content seen by a broader audience. The idea isn't entirely new; we've heard stories of shadow banning on Twitter before. But the automation and AI involvement are making it more sophisticated and all-encompassing.

Many people might overlook the importance of the fact that a significant portion of cutting-edge tools, including 'A.I.', Large Language Models (LLMs), and Stable Diffusion (SD), are grounded in open source. This approach has led to a broad spectrum of contributors, ranging from novices to experts, who are diving into these technologies and pushing their boundaries every day.

Among the various projects and platforms, Meta's contribution is noteworthy. Not necessarily because of altruism, but for their strategic decision to release Llama 2 as open source.

It’s natural for people to feel a mix of intrigue and caution towards new technologies; while they're perhaps attracted by the novelty, there's also an inherent fear about the potential unknowns. This duality reflects human nature to seek progress, while also being wary of unforeseen consequences.
