For those without X accounts

thanks! Now having seen the video, certainly not as cool as it sounds.

What did you expect?

For me the video is basically what I expected. Maybe a cool/spookier "full page" reveal but that doesn't really work with the token speed well.

For me, once a couple words loaded the cadence/pace of the streaming words in the response was so recognizably “ChatGPT” it immediately lost the sorta eerie mysterious feel and almost veered into parody/comedy.

Like imagining the wizarding world full of Hogwarts students writing out prompts for “Write a 500 word history of the polyjuice potion, sound natural using my own voice, do not use em dashes, no mistakes.”

I expected, from the description, it to look like text was being written by hand -- with the letterforms being stroked at roughly human pen speeds. Not just a fancy font over a text box being entered character by character. The description WAY oversells it.

I remember for roughly a month after Elon bought twitter he opened the site up again and public viewers could browse it. Now you can't even click play on a video lol.

ekianjo a day ago | parent [-]

You can still open a single post just fine

sillysaurusx a day ago | parent [-]

Can anyone verify that you can/can’t see a video if you’re not logged in?

chrismorgan a day ago | parent | next [-]

I can see the video poster, but clicking on it opens a login popup rather than playing it. However, the thing is a link, and opening https://x.com/MaximeRivest/status/2073544461473169432/photo/... directly does play it.

I can see the video and view the first three seconds or so, but after that, it throws up a login prompt.

An incognito window let me watch the whole 25 seconds with the user writing something and three book writing back, but I don't know if my IP or incognito cookies or anything else are special.

sillysaurusx a day ago | parent [-]

It would be ironic if you have to actually sign out from Twitter, not just use incognito mode, to bypass the signup nag. Or if they mark IPs as “signed up” or something. Thanks.

sillysaurusx a day ago | parent | prev [-]

Thank you. As someone who tweets, this is helpful to know.

someguyiguess a day ago | parent | prev | next [-]

You can. You just have to close 3 or 4 “please sign up” nag popups.

amarant a day ago | parent | prev | next [-]

I can see the entire video and I don't even have an account to log into.

Twitter videos are hard to watch when you do not have an twitter account.

I use this website whenever I get sent a Twitter video link that won't load twittervideodownloader.com

sillysaurusx a day ago | parent [-]

Clickable https://twittervideodownloader.com

Works well. Bookmarking this.

stronglikedan a day ago | parent | prev [-]

must be your browser or something, or maybe regional. they play right away for me on Windows Chrome as a rando

someguyiguess a day ago | parent [-]

Nope. Thats just you. The rest of us have lots of issues.

amarant a day ago | parent [-]

Nope! Works on for me as well! Chrome on android...

I think you guys are just being salty because it's X

frollogaston a day ago | parent [-]

Doesn't work for me, Chrome on Mac. Used a private window to test not being logged in. Got nothing against Twitter, but if I didn't already have an account, definitely wouldn't bother making one just to watch a video.

teaearlgraycold a day ago | parent | prev | next [-]

I kindly request people do not link to Twitter. I don’t have an account and won’t make one to see a video clip.

A new high water mark for R T F A.

Can't use the Twitter links if you don't have a Twitter account. Also, why make the user click away when they're trying to understand if your product does something interesting, and why do they need an account on an unrelated service when an image/gif embed would get the message across in 5 seconds?

There are many workarounds like xcancel and nitter.net and xcancel.com that have been operating for a couple of years now. This is Hacker News, not Consumer Reports.

By that point I've lost interest in the project. Not a very good elevator pitch if you're losing people before they even see what it looks like.

Americans: redirecting to some random quasi-nazi billionaire’s private project is considered bad taste on the other side of the pond.

It’s like redirecting to Putin’s personal blog or something. It’s strange and not normal at all.
