Platformer's latest newsletter leads with a piece titled "X's reverse eternal September." The title plays on the "Eternal September" of 1993, when a surge of AOL users overwhelmed Usenet's established norms. A reverse version suggests the opposite: a platform losing its influx of newcomers, or reverting to an earlier, smaller state.
The source provides the headline but not the full text of the piece, so its specific arguments are not available here. The newsletter does place the X story ahead of other items, including reports on OpenAI's math breakthroughs, a debate over slowing AI development, and OpenAI's decision to cancel a new model over safety fears.
Those items are separate from the X piece. The newsletter also lists a secondary item, "Slinking back to X," which may relate to users returning to the platform, but the source gives no further detail.
