Bluesky is not the only company from AI to help produce sustainable food, it seems. Between a slate The latest medicine outputX this week announced the launch of Grok-powered Custom Timelines, which allow you to enter one of over 75 themes through a hybrid feed that can be printed on your home page.
The company said this is the “biggest update” to the app to date, saying it uses Grok’s AI to create real-time and personalized updates for users.
Traditional food is arriving at the same time as X announced closing X Communitiesa feature that allowed people to create their own member communities around different topics, but saw a decline in usage.
At X, the company’s chief marketing officer, Nikita Bier, he said that fixed time works best for topics you already deal with. X’s rep explained to TechCrunch that the time frame is not based on traditional tags like keywords or hashtags. Instead, the company said, Grok reads each document, understands it, and adds headers. This is made possible by AI models from Grok’s proprietary xAI, a company that he got X last yeartying the two services closer together.
At launch, fixed time is only available to Premium subscribers on iOS. Android support is working. All Premium subscriptions can access this feature.
To use the feature, just look in the upper right corner for “For You” and “Following” on X, as well as any other lists you may have published. Then click on the plus sign (+) to select the time you want to install in your home. (Choose wisely, because you can print only 10 topics or lists!)
You can also re-order selected topics in the same window.
Once denied, you can click on any feed from your home page across platforms to browse your pinned feeds.
Notably, the second spot on each feed was filled with ads – which shows that X just found a way to increase its ads. This is important: X’s advertising business existed suffering since Musk discovered, and contradictory reports if things go well.
X-time tours offer 75+ class options
Basic headings are broad and structured – the same high-level categories and sections you’d find on a news page. This includes subjects such as Business & Finance, Sports, Technology, Politics, Stocks & Economy, News, Science, Movies & TV, Food & Beverage, Art, Real Estate, Home & Garden, Beauty, Education, Sports, and others.
Beyond the wide range of sports, there are also options to follow other sports, including American football, baseball, basketball, boxing, soccer, golf, MMA & wrestling, racing & motorsports, rugby, snow sports, ice hockey, tennis, cricket, Formula 1, cycling, and the Olympics. (Oh, and esports, if you want to read that.)
The topics of pop culture and technology also make up many of the existing categories, which previously allowed you to enter topics such as celebrities, music, concerts, country music, dance, electronic music, fashion, pop, K-pop, J-pop, podcasts, hip-hop, and jazz.
Along with the Technology group, you can also follow special interests such as Artificial Intelligence and Cryptocurrency – two popular themes that never end on X. There are also groups of things that correspond to Elon Musk’s various interests and interests, such as robotics, software development, space, and biotech.
Some common categories include things like anime, digital art, photography, work, pets, design, marriage & family, shopping, mental health, and more.
News stories: War, crime, and elections
The right stop: Top stories about the news lead Iran’s conflict, crime, and elections to the top of mind.
While this reflects the ongoing discussion on X, it is an example of how product selection can affect what people see. A cleaner approach might be to organize the many options into large, high-level categories that are listed alphabetically, with sub-categories that appear on each click. This would allow X to expand its “story” categories beyond these three main ones.
There may also be concerns about Grok’s arrest timelines, which are designed to be non-political and “truth-seeking,” but the process often went awry or amplified fake.
In our own testing, the time series did not appear to be skewed to the right or to the left. In a few test scripts, the feed came from various sources such as ABC, CBS, CSPAN, AP, Reuters, AFP, Daily Beast, The Hill, Foreign Policy, Puck, The Atlantic, The Economist, Bloomberg, Al Jazeera, Forbes, and the BBC (not all of which I follow), along with various comments.
It is unclear whether these feeds will significantly change the way people use X.
In general, people like to see things they care about appear in their large algorithmic feeds. But the favorite feed allows you to see new favorites or enter topics only when it’s necessary – like bringing up a game feed when the game is on. Plus the new X”Snooze Themes” option of the For You feed, you can customize your X to your liking.
