Founding Developer of WordPress: I Just Paid for Twitter Blue - Here's Why

And so it happened. Everyone's favorite billionaire and former "Chief Twit" of , Elon Musk, has decided to pass on the torch to someone more capable of running the company and bringing it to profitability. That is ex-NBCUniversal ad chief Linda Yaccarino, known in the industry for modernizing the advertising business at NBCUniversal. More on that later. Twitter someone What we're surprised about is the fact that Musk is actually delegating day-to-day operations to someone else. It's a miracle that Musk even decided to pass on the opportunity to remain the CEO of yet another company because a cursory glance of Musk's companies shows that he has an unholy obsession with either being listed as a founder (regardless of whether he founded the company or not) or being part of the executive suite of the organization (your Cs and boards and whathaveyous). In fact, a at OpenAI was the primary reason why Musk left the artificial intelligence company in the first place (which must sting a bit, given OpenAI is doing currently). dispute over his role how well No longer bogged by the sh*tfest at Twitter, Musk is free to focus on a more profitable venture in the form of . Since the start of the year, the carmaker has seen a positive uptick in its stock price as Musk slashes the prices of electric vehicles in a bid to . Tesla grow sales Yaccarino's appointment does raise some questions about Musk's plan, though. Particularly, why did Musk decide to head Twitter in the first place, if he was going to step down less than a year later? As we , if the plan was to have someone else run the company anyway, why couldn't Parag Agrawal continue in his role until a successor was found? It may boil down to petty revenge. noted previously In the lead-up to Musk's purchase of Twitter, the world's richest man really, really did not want to buy the social media company anymore and did everything in his power to walk out on the deal. Perhaps Musk realized that the company's insides looked really, really bad (financially speaking, of course) or that it was too for his tastes, or heck, that running a social media company (and that too one of the OGs!) was . For whatever reason, Musk wanted out, but sadly for him, the Twitter management was having none of it. 'woke' out of his league Once the offer was out in the public, Twitter shareholders saw an opportunity to jump ship and leave Musk to sort out the mess once they were gone. So of course, they used the ambit of the law to force Musk to live up to his word and finally purchase the company by paying a small fortune (~$44 billion). Understandably, Musk was salty for being "cheated" out of his money, so the first ones to go were the former management of the company. And then the madness happened: , , and a . But never once throughout this process was there a clear indication of how Twitter was to return to profitability (or if even such a thing was possible). All Musk achieved during his tenure was a quick dwindling of advertisers who were worried that their ads would appear next to a controversial tweet, hurting their brand reputation. layoffs subscription plans whole lot of craziness So where does that leave Yaccarino then? Well, as one of the very few women to have become a CEO in the tech sector, she has a to prove and get right, and by all accounts, Yaccarino seems to be a competent pick. Her previous laurels include successfully modernizing the advertising business at NBCUniversal. And her new stint at Twitter is largely meant to woo back advertisers, signaling to the market at large that the social media company is open for business. LOT With Yaccarino heading the helm, Musk said he will be focusing on product design and new technology, whatever that means. Only time will tell whether Yaccarino can help revive Twitter and turn it into a force to be reckoned with. Get ready for an ad onslaught in the near future.

Elon Musk on Friday that he found the new Twitter CEO. The billionaire announced Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter. said was the former head of global advertising and partnerships at NBC Universal. She was also the head of advertising and client partnerships at NBC Universal for eight years. Linda Yaccarino NBC Universal announced on Friday morning that Linda was leaving the company. She had been with NBC Universal for over a decade. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1657050349608501249?embedable=true Elon Musk previously said that the new CEO would join in six weeks, and after her joining, he will step down as the CTO of but still be the executive head. Elon will now oversee products, software & sysops. Twitter Linda had been with NBC Universal for over a decade, and her work was to find and approach advertisers and improve collaboration with them. She was also the key figure in the launch of NBC’s ad-supported streaming service Peacock. She had previously worked for 19 years at Turner Entertainment and has been credited for increasing the company’s advertisement revenues. She is the perfect person to become Twitter’s CEO because Twitter is seeing a decline in ad revenues. Many advertisers like Coca-Cola, Jeep, Merck Unilever and have stopped their ads on Twitter since Elon Musk took over in October 2022 because of many of Musk’s many controversial actions like firing half the Twitter employees, banning journalists, restricting Substack links and introducing paid verification programme. Meta Elon Musk wants to reduce Twitter’s reliance on advertisers so it can freely support “free speech.” This is also one of the reasons brands are pulling out from Twitter. Elon Musk is also the CEO of the car manufacturing company and rocket manufacturer and launcher SpaceX. Tesla Both companies have seen a decline in stocks since Elon became the CEO of Twitter. Investors of both companies have been complaining since October last year that Elon is spending most of his time on Twitter and not focusing on his two main businesses. Linda has years of experience with advertisers and she can be useful to bring advertisers back to the platform and attract potential advertisers.

Who is Twitter's New CEO?

We all have been observing the immense rise of a new token, a new meme token, to be precise. Yes, the Pepe coin, a meme that is supposed to make the time of Doge-themed meme coins end. Let me recall how it all started though. On April 14th, Pepe went live with a Twitter post. Source: https://twitter.com/pepecoineth/status/1646978289267769345 A couple of days later, the number of PEPE holders surpassed 1,000, and the market capitalization skyrocketed. The token price started growing, too. Source: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pepe/ New tweets appear in mass, all of them are provocative, angry, and claim to end the time of Doge-themed meme coins. Pepe is celebrating, and everybody is counting how much those investors earned who bought Pepe when it was launched. But indeed, who were those people? The First Red Flag Here, the first red flags appear to me. Source: https://etherscan.io/token/0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933?a=0x4a2c786651229175407d3a2d405d1998bcf40614 The very first wallet involved in the Pepe transactions purchased PEPE as soon as it went live, the guy bought billions of Pepe. Now, it still holds a lot of tokens. Source: https://etherscan.io/token/0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933?a=0x4a2c786651229175407d3a2d405d1998bcf40614 Now, let us think: a meme token with almost no value, no team, and even no popularity: how much one needs to buy to pump its price? It looks like a well thought scheme to me. Somebody from the team or somebody involved in the scheme purchased this immense amount of Pepe tokens to pump its price as soon as the famous Tweet appeared. The token is not listed anywhere yet, but its price has started growing, and it is not surprising considering the immense purchase. (By the way, this wallet is not the only one that purchased billions of Pepe immediately when the token was launched). Pepe Popularity Is Growing but Claiming Profits Is Impossible Meanwhile, Twitter also does its job, and I shall admit that this job is great indeed. More people get to know about a new meme coin (meanwhile, there are plenty of new meme projects being launched but they are left without attention), and start buying. Pepe continues growing in value, new billionaires are supposedly made with the new meme coin. But while users are counting the profits of those who have bought Pepe, they forget about one major detail: liquidity. Yep, the price of a new coin can surge as high as one can imagine, but if there is no liquidity, investors cannot cash out their profits. So does Pepe ensure enough liquidity to allow investors to cash out their earnings? It looks like no. While the Pepe market capitalization reached over $150 mln, the . It means that at that time (5 days after the token launch), those who have supposedly earned millions could not cash them out. coin liquidity pool on Uniswap was just slightly over $3 mln Now, the token is being listed on major exchanges such as Huobi, Binance, etc., so eventually, the liquidity issue may be solved. However, those who didn’t manage to cash their earnings out will have to deal with lower returns than they expected. The Contract Looks Suspicious Meanwhile, another red flag appears. When checking the contract address on the website, it was detected that there are some details that normally would alarm investors. GoPuls Labs Source: https://gopluslabs.io/token-security/1/0x6982508145454Ce325dDbE47a25d4ec3d2311933 Coinmarketcap where the token was listed already publishes a warning for investors. And the Pepe team reacts immediately, by pointing out that the contract has been fixed, and the coin rank provided by Coinmakretcap is incorrect. Source: https://twitter.com/pepecoineth/status/1649915486493200385 And indeed, if you check the contract address on the GoPlus Labs website, the tax issue doesn’t appear anymore. However, the blacklisting function is there, as well as other issues. Even though Coinmarketcap removed the warning, to me, it still remains unclear who is lying here and why everybody suddenly got silent about it. Eventually, are the main token holders going to dump the token in a well-prepared honeypot scam? Time will show, and for now, just have a look at how the transactions are performed by the wallet that bought a huge number of Pepe when the token was launched: Source: https://etherscan.io/token/0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933?a=0x4a2c786651229175407d3a2d405d1998bcf40614#tokenAnalytics And see how the token price is moving. Try to imagine what will happen if other major token holders start dumping the token. Here, another question arises: how many wallets are among the major Pepe holders? Let’s have a look at this data, too. Major Pepe Holders So, how many wallets are the major Pepe holders? Source: https://www.coincarp.com/currencies/pepe/richlist/ More details are provided by Etherscan, as usual. Here, we can see that the major holders are the biggest exchanges. Indeed, Pepe has been listed on many of them recently. Source: https://etherscan.io/token/0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933#balances However, if you check addresses that do not belong to the exchanges, suspicions arise again. Have a look at the addresses that do not belong to exchanges. Source: https://etherscan.io/token/0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933?a=0x339b07af597a2c6128d067633611baf3f0725b1a Source: https://etherscan.io/token/0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933?a=0x339b07af597a2c6128d067633611baf3f0725b1a They have bought immense numbers of Pepe asap after the token launch and are either inactive or very moderately active. What Does the Future Hold for Pepe? What will happen if they dump the coin? I believe that the major event is coming now when Pepe was listed on the main exchanges. Normally, the token price shall surge, and thus, the perfect point for a big dump is approaching if only the major holders decide, for some reason, to keep the token alive or if the community support appears to be strong enough for the token to survive. What will happen? Observing for now. But with all the controversies, one thing is clear: the power of Twitter in the contemporary world is immense. Even though there are plenty of red flags, Pepe continues to attract attention. Sincerely, Pepe looks cool, and whoever is responsible for Twitter shilling is doing a great job, so I hope this meme will survive.

On or about January 20, 2023, Sidley Austin sent by e-mail and Certified U.S. Mail undertakings signed by each Plaintiff. On or about March 3, 2023, Sidley Austin sent another letter by e-mail and Certified U.S. mail to the Company on behalf of Plaintiffs to reiterate Plaintiffs' rights to indemnification and repeat demands for the timely advancement of Expenses (the "Follow-Up Advancement Demand").

Note - this article was originally published on the in November 2017. Given the recent changes in Twitter, I thought it was a good time to look back at the work I and others did to double the original character count. Twitter Design blog · Looking After Number One-forty Solving a number of design challenges One defining aspect of Twitter, starting way back when we were still Twttr, is 140-character Tweets. For some, the character constraint has been a fun challenge. It motivates people to be briefer and more creative with their words. We’ve even heard people say that it’s helped them improve their writing. For many people, though, the limitation can be an incredibly frustrating part of using Twitter. It forces them to hack their sentences, severely limits their ability to express their thoughts, and often leads people to abandon their Tweets. We love the brevity of Twitter, but we also want people to be able to easily share their thoughts. When we looked into the data on Tweet length, we discovered an interesting pattern: depending on language, people have a very different experience with the 140-character limit. For example, in information dense languages, like Japanese or Korean, 140 characters isn’t very limiting. People in Japan are able to express a lot in 140 characters and don’t have any complaints about the limit. In languages like English, Spanish, French, and especially German, the character limit is a consistent complaint we’ve seen in our research over the years. A great example of this disparity can be seen below: The same basic idea expressed in three languages, English, Spanish, and Japanese. With this in mind, we designed a system that defines two types of written languages, dense and non-dense, and expands the character limit for non-dense languages. By grouping languages this way, we can give people writing in non-dense languages like English and Spanish the same space to express themselves as people writing in information-dense languages like Japanese. This will make sharing thoughts and ideas on Twitter a lot less frustrating for many more people, while maintaining brevity on Twitter overall. This is where the design challenge comes in: How can we make a UI that communicates these different character constraints that is still easily understood globally? Simply replacing the number doesn’t work because we can’t be certain which language you’re going to be Tweeting in. We could guess which language you’ll use, based on your location or system language, but that falls apart quickly, as many people live in foreign countries or travel regularly. Additionally, many people Tweet in multiple languages, sometimes within a single Tweet. Because we count dense alphabets differently than non-dense, mixed language Tweets can result in some intricate math that we want to be able to abstract away. The challenge here was to create a design that adapts to different character limits without relying on a number, works with the many ways people compose Tweets, and is intuitive enough that people don’t have to spend time thinking about it. During the initial design brainstorms, it became quickly apparent that there are lots of questions we needed research to help with. We knew we needed to understand all the different circumstances around how people compose Tweets, but we also had to answer some other key unknowns: Do people look at the number while composing a Tweet now? When does the number become important? Is just a warning sufficient enough? What happens when they go over the limit? When they’re getting close to the end, how soon do they worry about it? How important is UI progress indicator for people to understand how much space they have left as they compose? Based on these questions, I went through quite a few design explorations. This included 27 different, animated prototypes ( is my jam, in case you were interested), more than a couple design brainstorms, internal crit sessions, and a lot of revisions. At the end of all these explorations, we conducted in-person testing across two countries (Japan and the US) with a handful of functional prototypes. Principle In-person testing was very valuable in helping us identify what was working and what wasn’t. A great example of this is how one of my favorite designs totally failed. For this prototype in particular, I had decided to remove the counter completely until they got close to the limit (20 characters left). At that point they would see a small tracking number following their cursor. Despite what I initially thought, it actually ended up being quite confusing to people in our testing session. One of the research participants in Tokyo said, “I like the one with both circle and the number at the end. With the circle, I can intuitively know how much left to go. Also, without the number counting down from the beginning, I don’t have to feel pressured as I type in the Tweet.” This reasoning for liking the a combination of abstract + granular design was shared by our Japanese research participants. While I thought removing the UI until it was relevant would help alleviate the stress of the character limit, it ended up having the opposite effect; people were unable to properly plan their Tweet since they had no feel for how far along they actually were. Through our research, we were able to define some clear design constraints, including answering a lot of the unknowns. In the end, the research refocused our design needs: Be an abstract counter to support multiple counting methods Show progress throughout Have a granular counter appear as people got close to the end Use color or another visual indicator as a warning Lean less on subtlety or people won’t notice it Support all our composers Ultimately, we landed on a design that solves those needs and still felt “Twittery.” We wanted something lightweight and clear with some small elements of delight. Of course, just feeling something isn’t enough, so we’ve been tracking whether it’s working or not. Not only do we want people to understand the experience when composing Tweets, but we need to understand the impact of this change overall on brand perceptions — 140 was so core to who we were for more than a decade. In addition to researching people’s expression experience on the platform, we also worked to understand the impact of the character limit change on the overall perception. We wanted to make sure we maintained our identity as a brief way to consume information. Our brand research found that people in the experiment continued to think of Twitter as a concise way to consume information. We also discovered a measurable drop in these same people citing the character limit as a reason for dissatisfaction. One advantage of working on a digital product like Twitter is that our jobs are never done. Another advantage is that people can tell us what they think of our changes simply . We’ll be watching how people use their newfound 280 characters, and seeing if there are areas we can improve. I’m looking forward to seeing and hearing how everyone is using this update. with a Tweet There were lots of people involved in this project, but I want to give a huge thanks to Kiyotoshi Yamauchi and Dandan Zhang for helping with the research on this project.

Looking Back at Doubling the Twitter Character Count - Looking After Number One-forty

to Elon Musk's version of , which has faced criticism for its content moderation policies and reinstatement of incendiary accounts. The app, created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, the co-founders of , offers itself as a reliable source of information and could be an alternative to Twitter. Since Elon Musk took control of Twitter, a growing number of users have become uncomfortable with the billionaire's decisions to rethink content moderation policies and reinstate numerous incendiary accounts, among other moves. In response, a small but growing number of services have launched, seeking to provide a more reliable and ethical alternative. The most recent potential challenger to Twitter? Artifact News. Artifact News has emerged as a potential challenger Twitter Instagram Facts over opinions Artifact News is positioned as a direct challenge to Elon Musk's version of Twitter, offering a unique and curated source of information that prioritizes accuracy, diversity, and ethical content moderation. Unlike Musk, who has favored Twitter's citizen journalism over allegedly corrupt American media outlets since he took over the platform, Artifact News seeks to promote a pluralistic and informed dialogue by offering articles and viewpoints from numerous traditional media outlets on each topic of the news. One of Artifact News' key selling points is its commitment to safeguarding against the spread of false information. The app's creators are putting in place strict measures to ensure the quality and reliability of its content, recognizing the growing concern among users about the proliferation of fake news and misinformation. Currently, the app's creators plan to use the power of artificial intelligence to add a social aspect to the app. This would allow users to see articles and comments from people they follow, as well as direct messaging. Can Artifact Leap-frog Twitter as a News Source? While Artifact News has a long way to go to challenge Twitter's unique offering of direct conversation on current events, the app's creators have a track record of innovation and a strategy of surprise launches. They are committed to developing new features that will enable users to engage in real-time conversations on news and current events. The tech industry is abuzz with talk of new alternatives to Twitter, and Artifact News is one of the most promising challengers to emerge so far. The app's creators have a clear vision for the platform, and they are committed to creating a more informed, responsible, and diverse public sphere. They recognize that there is a growing demand for a more ethical and reliable alternative to Twitter, and they are working hard to meet that demand. Whether Artifact News can become a serious contender to Twitter remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the app is an exciting development in the tech industry, and it represents a promising step forward in the ongoing quest to create a more informed and responsible public discourse.

Artifact News: The Potential Challenger to Elon Musk's Twitter Supremacy

In today’s digital landscape, creating a blog is just the first step in establishing an online presence. To attract readers and build a following, bloggers need to promote their content effectively. In this blog post, we’ll explore the topic of automated blog promotion and how to use ChatGPT, Twitter API, and AWS to create a blog promotion toolkit that can help bloggers promote their content more efficiently. The toolkit is designed to automate the promotion process using cutting-edge technologies, making it easier for bloggers to reach their target audience. By following the steps outlined in this post, you’ll be able to create your own automated blog promotion toolkit and take your blog promotion efforts to the next level. Let’s dive in and see how ChatGPT, Twitter API, and AWS can help you promote your blog like a pro! Requirements: . The toolkit must run automatically on a schedule, without requiring manual intervention, to save users time and effort in promoting their content. Schedule automation . The toolkit should be easy to extend, allowing users to add new promotion tools as needed. The MVP version of the toolkit will contain only one tool designed to engage new readers by replying to tweets using OpenAI APIs and ChatGPT, with AI text generation to ensure that the Twitter bot responds using relevant context. In the future, we may want to add functionality (publishing to relevant communities) or even expand to new platforms (e.g., LinkedIn). Extendibility . The tool must be polite and respectful to Twitter accounts, avoiding multiple replies to the same user within a short period to prevent appearing annoying or spammy. Politeness The toolkit should be able to run both in the AWS cloud and locally, providing users with the flexibility to choose the deployment method that works best for them. Hybrid runtime. Problem Creating high-quality content for a blog is a challenging task, but promoting that content to reach a wider audience can be even more difficult. Social media platforms like Twitter offer a powerful way to share blog posts and engage with readers, but manually managing a Twitter account and replying to tweets can be time-consuming and repetitive. ' Furthermore, engaging with Twitter users in a way that is polite and respectful can be challenging, particularly when trying to reach a large number of users. These challenges can make it difficult for bloggers to effectively promote their content on Twitter and reach new readers. In the next section, we will explore how our blog promotion toolkit can help address these challenges and enable bloggers to reach their promotion goals. Solution Our blog promotion tool aims to simplify the process of promoting blog content on Twitter by automating the process of finding relevant tweets and engaging with Twitter users. The tool takes a list of blog posts, each with its own set of hashtags and metadata. These hashtags and metadata are configured manually by the author of the blog (using the same ChatGPT usually 😀) and extracted directly from the HTML. Once the hashtags have been extracted, the toolkit passes them to the Twitter SearchTweets API, which returns a list of relevant tweets from oldest to newest. The toolkit then checks each tweet for various requirements, such as politeness and the author’s audience size. If a tweet qualifies, the toolkit feeds the tweet URL and blog post URL to the OpenAI API, which generates a relevant reply using the ChatGPT language model. Finally, the toolkit sends the generated reply using the Twitter Manage Tweets API. We can visualize this flow as a pipeline with the following key components: By automating the process of finding relevant tweets and generating polite and engaging responses, our blog promotion toolkit can help bloggers save time and effort in promoting their content on Twitter. Additionally, the ability to extend the toolkit with new promotion tools in the future can provide even more ways to engage with readers and promote blog content. Tools and Libraries Our blog promotion toolkit is built using a variety of tools and libraries, including: : A popular programming language that is widely used in data analysis, machine learning, and web development. This is my first time using this language to build something meaningful, so please don’t judge me harshly. Python : A Python library that provides easy access to the Twitter API, allowing developers to build applications that interact with Twitter. I will be using V2 . Tweepy Client : A Python library that provides access to OpenAI’s powerful language models, including GPT-3. OpenAI library : A Python library for web scraping and parsing HTML documents. BeautifulSoup : (for storage), (for computing), (for event scheduling to trigger Lambda), and, of course, my favorite to integrate all of these services together into a working SAM template and deploy it via . AWS services DynamoDB AWS Lambda AWS CloudWatch AWS App Composer AWS CloudFormation Implementation TLDR; Link to the Code GitHub repo: https://github.com/sr-shifu/blog-promo-toolkit Building Infrastructure As mentioned earlier, I will use AWS App Composer UI to build my SAM template. I will not go deep into the details (you can find more information about how to work with it in one of my previous ) — I will just leave my final diagram here: posts Infrastructure is pretty simple: lambda function. I decided to set its timeout to the maximum (15 mins) to give it as much time as possible: OpenAI API can be slow, and Twitter search API might have pretty long cooldown timeouts after being throttled. EngageTweets Event rule (AWS::Events::Rule) that will trigger lambda function using this cron expression (unfortunately, UI does not support this configuration, so you need to write it by hand): cron(0 18 * * ? *). This expression can be decoded to human language as . EngageTweets "at 18:00 UTC every day" Secrets Manager instance to store tokens to access Twitter and OpenAI APIs. lambda will consume them via environment variables (again, need to configure manually in the template). IntegrationTokens EngageTweets table. It will be used to store information about tweets that have been already replied — it would be used by both the and components. It will use userId as a partitioning key and tweetId as a range (sort) key. RepliedTweets SearchTweets TweetFilter There are also 2 additional attributes that are worth mentioning: : expiration key (UNIX time of when the record needs to be deleted from the table). The idea behind this is to make storage more efficient. Twitter’s SearchTweets can search tweets only for the last 7 days, so there is no need to store tweet reply data forever. We can reply to the tweet, set TTL to be current_time + 7d , and make sure that we will not disturb the author during the next 7 days or will not reply to the same tweet again. TTL API : query string that was used to search this tweet (about this later). The idea here is to build Global Secondary Index (GSI) using searchKey as the primary key and tweetId as a range key. Using this index, we can find the latest tweet that was replied to in case the previous function execution was interrupted (for instance, exceeded lambda timeout). You may ask why don't we store reply time in the table and use it as a sort key instead. The answer is simple: Twitter uses IDs that guarantee that all tweets follow the rough order ( ). Search API also supports since_id, a request parameter that will give us all tweets that were sent after the last replied tweet id stored in our table. In case our tool didn't run during the last 7 days and all data in the table was purged, it's not a problem at all - remember, API returns only the recent 7 days. searchKey Snowflake roughly sortable Deeper Into the Code Initialize Tweepy client: client = tweepy.Client(

    # this is one of the weird stuff I noticed - sometimes ChatGPT tags author using their ID, and not account name
    return completions.choices[0].text.replace("\n\n", "").replace(f" @{author_id}", "") Parameters: : This parameter specifies the ID of the OpenAI language model to use for generating text. In this example, the text-DaVinci-003 model (ChatGPT-3) is used, which is one of OpenAI's most advanced models. engine : This parameter specifies the text prompt to use as input to the language model. In the blog promotion toolkit, the prompt will be the relevant tweet that the ChatGPT algorithm will be generating a response to. prompt : This parameter specifies the maximum number of tokens (words or punctuation marks) that the language model should generate in its response. max_tokens : This parameter specifies the number of responses to generate. In this case, only one response will be generated. n : This parameter specifies a sequence of tokens that should be used as a stopping point for the language model's response. In this case, no stopping sequence is specified. stop : This parameter controls the randomness of the language model's responses. A higher temperature value will produce more creative and varied responses, while a lower temperature value will produce more predictable and conservative responses. In this example, a temperature of 0.7 is used, which should produce responses that are creative but not too unpredictable. temperature : OpenAI released a new gpt-3.5-turbo language model a few days after I wrote this post ( ). It's priced at $0.002 per 1K tokens, which is 10x cheaper than the existing GPT-3.5 models. UPDATE Mar 7, 2023 Search tweets: twitter_metadata = extract_twitter_metadata(post_url, tagsSelector='.post-tags')
        keywords, hash_tags, description, *rest = twitter_metadata
        combos = list(combinations(hash_tags, 2))
        for combo in(combos):
            hash_tags_string = " ".join(combo)
            latest_tweet_id = get_latest_activity(hash_tags_string)
            if latest_tweet_id is None and search_days_ago is not None:
                start_time=(datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=search_days_ago)).strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")
            tweets = search_recent_tweets_with_pagination(query=hash_tags_string, max_results = 100, start_time=start_time, latest_tweet_id=latest_tweet_id, tweet_fields=['id', 'author_id', 'created_at', 'in_reply_to_user_id', 'lang'])
            # do other stuff (filtering, generating reply, promoting) After Twitter metadata is extracted from HTML, I use hashtags as search criteria to find relevant tweets. Usually, every blog post has about 4–5 tags associated with it. If I pass down all of them together, most likely Twitter API will return nothing — that’s why I combine them by pairs and use every pair as a search key (so every blog post will generate from 6 to 10 search requests in general). Running Locally With SAM, you don’t need to do a lot. Only execute 3 commands, and you are good to go. If you want to run the local version of DynamoDB, please follow the README instructions in my GitHub repo. sam build
sam local start-lambda
aws lambda invoke --function-name "EngageTweets" --endpoint-url "http://127.0.0.1:3001" --no-verify-ssl out.txt It’s the same simple using a Python executable: cd src/engage-tweets-lambda
pip install -r requirements.txt
source env/bin/activate   
TABLE_NAME=PromotedTweets python engage_tweets.py Just make sure you have all tokens stored in your local file. .env Deploying to AWS One command you need to know: sam deploy Limitations Twitter API rate limit: Twitter API has a rate limit that limits the number of API calls that can be made per user per 15-minute window. This means that if a user exceeds the rate limit, they may not be able to make any further API calls until the limit resets (but we already got this covered — see previous section). Twitter monthly limit to search tweets: Twitter limits the number of tweets that can be searched in a given month. The current limit is 500,000 tweets per month per developer account, which is also subject to change. OpenAI API is not free: The OpenAI API charges based on the number of requests and responses (tokens) sent and received. While we have obtained a free trial package of $18, continued use of the API will require payment based on usage. Recent Twitter API changes: Twitter has recently made changes to its API that impact the availability of certain features and data. For example, as of February 2022, Twitter has suspended access to the user profile and follower count endpoints, making it difficult to determine the size of a tweet author’s audience. This may impact the effectiveness of our blog promotion toolkit. Twitter’s recent announcement regarding automation: Twitter has announced new rules regarding automation on the platform, aimed at preventing spam and abusive behavior. While the full extent of these changes is not yet clear, they may impact the functionality of our blog promotion toolkit. We will continue to monitor developments and adjust our approach as needed. These limitations highlight the challenges involved in building and maintaining a blog promotion toolkit that relies on external APIs and platforms. Despite these limitations, I believe that our toolkit can still be effective in promoting our content and engaging with our audience. By staying informed and adapting to changes as they arise, we can continue to use these tools to achieve our goals. Final Words In conclusion, our blog promotion toolkit is designed to help content creators reach new audiences by engaging with relevant Twitter users. By leveraging the power of AI language models and Twitter’s API, we are able to generate personalized replies to tweets that mention our blog post’s relevant content in the context of the target tweet message. However, it’s important to note that there are limitations to this approach, including Twitter API rate limits and monthly search limits, as well as the cost of using OpenAI’s API for language processing. Overall, I believe that this toolkit can be a valuable asset for bloggers and content creators looking to promote their work on social media. I look forward to continuing to refine and improve this toolkit, and we welcome any feedback or suggestions from the community. Thank you for considering my toolkit, and I hope it can help you achieve your content promotion goals! Originally published at https://thesametech.com on March 3, 2023.
