"Elon Musk's Twitter Rate Limits Cause Record High Traffic and Advertiser Concerns"

Twitter has faced criticism for implementing rate limiting without prior notice, limiting the number of tweets users could read per day. The company claims that providing advance notice would have allowed bad actors to alter their behavior to evade detection. Twitter implemented the rate limit to combat bots and other harmful actors, preventing them from manipulating conversations and scraping public data. While the move has had a minimal effect on advertising, it has disrupted user experience and led to the release of an exclusive, improved version of TweetDeck for verified accounts.

He downplayed concerns that AI would cause massive job losses, saying that AI making us more productive is a good thing. Schwarz urged lawmakers to take a deliberate approach to regulating AI to ensure that the benefits to society outweigh the costs. Vice President Kamala Harris is slated to meet with the CEOs of Microsoft, OpenAI, and Google parent Alphabet on Thursday to discuss potential safeguards for the AI industry.
