    TLDR

    A public X thread began when Nikita Bier told Mark Zuckerberg that links no longer need placement in replies. Paul Graham asked about penalties for link-containing posts. Elon Musk replied that X has not penalized such tweets for over a year. AI researchers and investors expressed surprise, noting prior habits of splitting posts and lingering uncertainty about distribution effects despite the stated policy change.

    @jachiam0Wait, for real? This is a huge deal and yet I somehow notice that even with this coming down from on high I still somehow feel nervous that putting a link in OP will get a post nuked.65d
    @mckaywrigley@jachiam0 they keep saying this, but it’s very much not true in practice. you’ll get better visibility on link below still, and given the importance of a lot of what you share i’d still do it the “old” way.65d
    @AdrienLE@jachiam0 Maybe he meant for Zuck personally65d
    @paulg@nikitabier @finkd You no longer penalize tweets with links in them?65d

    @elonmusk@paulg @nikitabier @finkd We haven’t for over a year65d
    @sjgadler@paulg @nikitabier @finkd I believe it's been said that they were never directly penalized. But there were various indirect negative pressures on them? Which might still exist65d
    @deepfates@nikitabier @diviacaroline @finkd Press ♥️ to doubt65d
    @NickADobosIs this thing on? https://testflight.apple.com/join/8gxZ5Kaz65d
