Analysis Questions OpenAI Report: Only 200 of 200k Accounts Posted Anti-DC Content
AndyMasley · x · 2026-08-28
An analysis of the X Safety team's investigation into 200,000 suspected Chinese accounts reveals that only 200 posted content opposing data centers. This aligns with OpenAI's findings of low engagement (as few as 3 views). Critics suggest this may be an attempt by the industry to spin research as advocacy—blaming data center opposition on China—rather than a sober diagnosis of a widespread problem, noting the rarity of X issuing a tweet specifically about a bot takedown.
