Vitalik: The open-sourcing of the X platform algorithm is a very good initiative; algorithms need to be verifiable and reproducible

Ethereum founder Vitalik commented on "Musk stated that the new X platform algorithm will be open-sourced in 7 days, including how to determine recommended search content for users, and this process will repeat every four weeks": "If done properly, this will be a very good move. I hope it can be verified and replicated. While it won't solve all problems, it can effectively address the concerns about algorithm transparency raised by myself and many other public members."

"Furthermore, I actually think four weeks might be a bit too optimistic, as this means the algorithm needs to be updated frequently to prevent exploitation. The algorithm does need to be verifiable and replicable, so that users who feel they are being shadowbanned, downgraded, etc., can check the execution code of the algorithm to understand why their posts are not being seen."
