    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.
