X algorithm turns an 'Opus 5.5 ASIC' joke into fake news with 19.6K posts
flowersslop · x · 2026-11-15
flowersslop complains that a joke tweet — "IMAGINE an Opus 5.5 ASIC" — was taken as real by X's algorithm. A screenshot shows X's "Today's News" aggregator generating a fake news card titled "Anthropic Launches Local Hardware for Claude Opus 5.5" with 19.6K posts attached.
The author had to clarify it was just a joke, becoming another example of X's algorithm misaggregating meme content into news.
