Ranayna:
I have no idea if it is true. It fits the image though, that makes this compelling.

It currently makes the rounds that Musk did not renew a hosting contract with Google, and Twitter currently does simply not have the ressources for unlimited use anymore.
It fits, since Twitter also does not pay rent anymore for several offices, and Musk apparently does not care.

It just shows again: The software engineers at Twitter before it was sold apparently really knew what they were doing. That it is still running, if slow, is astonishing.

... when you fire too many employees, things go really bad, and you need some smoke screen to hide it: it must be the LLM scrapers :horse:

I think the new CEO smoothed things over with Google (https://www.reuters.com/technology/twitter-resumes-paying-google-cloud-bloomberg-news-2023-06-21/). I guess they may still have reduced the capacity to save money?

But cutting down on infrastructure to save money would be a very strange move if it means limiting user activity. Surely the ad revenue from a page impression can't be lower than its incremental cost. That would be completely unsustainable.
SiliconWizard:
I'm sure you guys would be very good at running Twitter.
Not sure why Musk doesn't even think about it. What a moron!
