I usually only read, so youtube is a no-go for me :(
I also have the same problem, and then figured that hey, I’m sure there’s a startup that’s using ChatGPT to summarize videos.
Apparently there is, so here you go. Note that I didn’t watch it, and the quality seems to be pretty off :D The emojis were in the summary, I can’t really tell why - I’ve literally just taken first google result, installed an extension to throwaway browser, ran it, and will probably never use it again :D.
But, it’s kinda funny, trying to parse out what is actually true and what’s the model just being derp.
Summary
Twitter has implemented a rate limit and paywall to combat the excessive use of Bots and web scrapers, highlighting the company’s financial struggles and potential impact on advertising revenue.
💔 Twitter implemented a rate limit where non-blue check users can only view 600 tweets per day, while paying members can view up to 6,000 tweets. 00:00
💡 Twitter has implemented new features, including a rate limit and a paywall, to combat the excessive use of Bots and web scrapers. 00:18
😞 Twitter went down due to bad JavaScript code that caused a self-inflicted DDOS attack, and web scraping became a big problem after Twitter shut down access to its free API. 00:48
💔 Twitter’s rate limit changes have led to the death of third-party apps like Apollo, despite a failed protest, and it’s hard to believe that web scraping is the main reason. 01:25
💔 Twitter’s refusal to pay bills, including its Google Cloud bill, and its eviction from offices over unpaid rent, highlights the company’s financial struggles and potential impact on advertising revenue. 01:49
💰 The Google Cloud contract, worth hundreds of millions of dollars per year, expired on June 30th, and it is speculated that these new features are related to it. 02:13
💡 Twitter implemented a rate limit to manage their infrastructure migration to Raspberry Pi. [What? :D] 02:28
🤔 Elon Musk is supposedly fighting against the CIA and NSA, who are using Twitter for censorship, and there is anticipation for his upcoming battle against Mark Zuckerberg.
Key insights
🌐Being locked into a cloud platform can give the provider significant control and leverage over the user.
It’s not a hideous summary. The video is, itself, very much a blitz summary of current events.
The raspberry pi thing is a smart arse comment on twitter cheaping out on their hosting. It’s hard to find enough raspberry pis to replace the Google cloud service.

Apollo?

Raspberry pi?
Elon Musk is supposedly fighting against the CIA and NSA, who are using Twitter for censorship
Wha…?
Having actually watched the video now i can say; Pretty much accurate.
I still haven’t seen the video, because the summary is so funny that I choose to just believe that Twitter is moving from GCloud to Raspberry PIs and that CIA is censoring people through Twitter :D
