what are senryu but pre-internet tweets? it's like if "tweets" were called "drils" (and had an even shorter character limit)

screenshot from the english wikipedia article for senyru:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senry%C5%AB

Form and content
Senryū is named after Edo period haikai poet Karai Senryū (柄井川柳; 1718–1790).[2] A typical example from the collection:

泥棒を
捕えてみれば
我が子なり

dorobō o
toraete mireba
wagako nari

When I catch,
The robber,
my own son

This senryū, which can also be translated "Catching him / I see the robber / is my son," is not so much a personal experience of the author as an example of a type of situation (provided by a short comment called a maeku or fore-verse, which usually prefaces a number of examples) and/or a brief or witty rendition of an incident from history or the arts (plays, songs, tales, poetry, etc.).[5]

Sam Altman studzi entuzjazm: AI wciąż czeka na swój „moment iPhone’a”. Technologia już jest, ale brakuje produktu, który naprawdę zmieni nawyki ludzi. Nawet on sam nadal kopiuje treści między aplikacjami 🤖

Twórca ChatGPT mówi wprost. AI czeka na „przełom iPhone’a”

Sam Altman, jeden z kluczowych twórców globalnego sukcesu ChatGPT, znów podzielił się swoimi spostrzeżeniami na temat przyszłości technologii generatywnej AI. Goszcząc w podkaście Davida Senry zaznaczył m.in., że ciągle brakuje na rynku produktu, który zmieniłby wszystko, tak jak w 2007 zrobił to iPhone. Sam Altman nie pudruje rzeczywistości. Rynek zbyt wolno adoptuje ChatGPT Sam Altman […]
