X's Head of Product Announces 'Fortress' Against the 'AI Slopacalypse'

Nikita Bier, Head of Product at X, posted a striking admission: the platform is building what he called a "fortress" against the "AI Slopacalypse" — a term for the deluge of low-quality, AI-generated content that threatens to overwhelm social media feeds. As @nikitabier put it, the defenses "will seem obvious in a few months," implying that the infrastructure is substantive but not yet visible to users.
