So, after the API charges go into effect, anyone that is still using customer reply bots will be charged for each interaction? Allowing users to flood customer support accounts with bot interaction requests?

That Tesla deposition by the engineer reads way less "Doesn't know about these things" and more "Was instructed by Tesla lawyers to play as dumb and possible and try to give nothing away" to me, but I'm no expert in these things.

The best part is you can simultaneously do the world's easiest DoS attack on corporate systems given how low the thresholds are while the amount of income generated for Musk will be negligible. It's lose/lose.

The only reason you'd do that is if the real truth is worse than "Tesla head of self-driving doesn't know basic info about control system engineering". Which is totally possible, but basically means they're trying to cover up poo poo that would lead to absolutely massive liability. Alternately, the guy is the head of self-driving because he's one of Elon's dick-riding yes-men at corporate HQ and really is that clueless.

The funny thing is that what will happen is devs will just switch back to implementing functionality via navigating the site as a human would, like in the early 2000s. The requests will go through the proportionally expensive human-facing request processing pipelines, and nothing else will have changed. APIs aren't just there to open the door to devs. They are often made because bot activity is basically inevitable and you have a benefit in making bot-driven requests as cheap as possible to process. It also helps with getting more accurate metrics, which would probably qualify as a downside from the PoV of Musk. Aramis fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Feb 2, 2023 |

I don't see any transitions, but then I don't see promoted tweets or get recommended tweets from alt-right weirdos I don't follow. I somehow seem to get an alternate Twitter that isn't a nightmare to use.

Huh... just checked on my desktop PC, and even though they're both Windows systems running Firefox it's not doing the "fancy" image slide in. I guess it only shows up on systems it can freeze for a second every time you go to the next image. Concerning.

So whatever happened to Twitter closing down and going bankrupt? How come we haven't seen the predicated constant crashes and instability that was talked about after 50%+ of the employees were let go?

There is no way scammers will be able to afford $100/month, totally impossible to spend $100 after you have scammed people out of orders of magnitude larger than $100.

It never ceases to amaze me when people run to this thread and post stuff like this. In a thread that's been laughing at people getting kicked out of offices because Elon didn't pay rent, the giant loss in advertising, and Musk frantically doing stuff like selling thr blue checkmark and trashing the api with a week's notice. The sheer blinders required to ignore poo poo this unstable is boggling. It would take catturd2 levels of denial. .... Wait a minute, this goon's avatar...!
