Government and universities love Twitter to develop their AI censorship models because it's not private like other social media accounts where you need to friend someone to see their posts etc. Sure some accounts are set to private but majority of Twitter is public.
But making it so you have to log in like other social media and rate limiting you will see a ton of AI models disrupted since they would scrap literally millions of tweets daily and now that has been compromised.
He mentioned to expect a large cry from universities and government how rate limiting is an attack on democracy, but also didn't rule out that this could be a cynical plan by Musk to force more people into subscribing to Twitter blue.
I do believe this will have a huge impact on the AI LLMs and censorship given how open Twitter was. What I am worried about is if this goes on for too long people will jump ship to an alternative that is DS controlled and it will be worse than Twitter 1.0 was.
I like the logging in to see any public profile which should help identify bots/scrapers but the rate limit should hopefully be lifted in the next 48 hours.
This along with reddit API charge may actually force people off some of these sites which imo is a good but a great thing.
Tweet still shows up for me
But basically this:
