X security team finds 200,000-account bot farm tied to U.S. policy debate

X’s security team has identified what it described as a China-based bot farm made up of 200,000 accounts, according to a brief report carried by Techub News and attributed to @Cointelegraph. The report said 200 of those accounts were dedicated to publishing AI-generated content. Their stated aim was to manipulate online discussion around U.S. policy issues related to artificial intelligence and energy. X’s security team said it has already taken action against the accounts. It also disclosed details of how the network allegedly worked to shape public opinion. The item did not provide additional information on the specific enforcement measures taken, the timing of the operation, or how long the accounts had been active.

The report only states that the button is expected to be added and that, once live, it could make in-platform crypto operations more straightforward for users.

J-Space Faces Fabrication Questions After Community Retest Contradicts Its Published AI Benchmark Claims

J-Space Cognition Suite, an AI project that gained rapid traction on X, is facing community scrutiny after a retest challenged the benchmark results it had promoted for DeepSeek V4. According to MaxForAI, the project had claimed that pairing V4 Flash with J-Space could match GLM-5.3, while V4 Pro could outperform Fable 5 across multiple agent benchmarks. It also advertised a 2.53x speed improvement and a 2.21x gain in token efficiency. A GitHub user, GoForceX, said they reran the test with an 87-question subset from Terminal Bench 2.1 under high concurrency and confirmed that J-Space-related modules were loaded. The retest reportedly showed the opposite direction from J-Space’s claims: benchmark scores fell slightly after adding J-Space, while token usage and costs increased. The community has since called on the project to release its full evaluation setup, per-question results, execution logs, raw timing data, and token consumption records. So far, the project has mainly published aggregated results, with no complete raw experimental records available to verify the precise figures. The project author had previously said the data was 「indeed exaggerated」 and estimated actual gains at roughly 1.6x to 3x. As of now, there has been no formal response to the latest criticism, and some related issue threads have been deleted.

Pump.fun Reportedly Offers $30K Monthly, $20K Bonus to Lure FOMO Users

CLR alleged in a post on X that Pump.fun is running an incentive program aimed at pulling users away from the FOMO platform. An agreement document shared by CLR shows that eligible users who meet the conditions would receive a one-time $20,000 signing bonus and $30,000 in monthly fixed pay. In return, they must transfer their funds and trading positions from FOMO to Pump.fun, set up a brand-new wallet that has not previously been used on other platforms, link their X (formerly Twitter) account to the Pump.fun wallet, declare that wallet as their only public wallet on their X profile, and permanently delete and close their FOMO account. The terms of the deal also impose a real-trading requirement that users must satisfy: each participating user is required to generate at least $25,000 in monthly trading volume on Pump.fun, or 25% of their previous average monthly trading volume on FOMO, according to the agreement document.

X Unveils Original Content Rewards Program, Phasing Out Revenue Sharing From September

X (formerly Twitter) said on August 8 it will launch an Original Content Rewards Program in September, phasing out the current Revenue Sharing plan. New Revenue Sharing applications are no longer accepted. Existing users keep earning through September 7, 2026, with final payouts around August 14, August 28, and September 11. From September 8, eligible creators can apply to the new plan. Payouts are based on "valid impressions" — views on X Premium users' home timelines where at least half of a post is visible — with the first payment expected around August 28. Applicants need to be 18 or older, in good account standing, subscribed to X Premium or Premium+, hold at least 500 verified followers, and have generated at least 500,000 verified-user home timeline impressions in the past 90 days, while posting original content consistently. The program rewards original writing, threads, news reporting, analysis, video, images, design work, and high-value commentary. Simple reposts, copied content, re-posts lacking analysis, and automation-driven engagement do not qualify.
