@_kersed_ @CantEverDie You still have to pay taxes today you idiots

@CantEverDie How u do this

another tax day successfully extended until october

@nedeball6 @chevtones1 @NuggetsLead But gained ayo

@dizzledeezy @chevtones1 @NuggetsLead They lost NAW

Everyone at ESPN picks the Nuggets to win 😳😳😳

@nedeball6 @chevtones1 @NuggetsLead It’s literally the same roster. Wolves got better with ayo lol

@chevtones1 @NuggetsLead And we are also way better than we were last year while the Wolve got worse

@TheInverseTimes @darioierimonti @asaio87 Stop lying Bro

@dizzledeezy @darioierimonti @asaio87 I have 168 paid users in 2 weeks. We’re doing fantastic right now.

Uncomfortable truth: you cannot vibecode an app unless you are a developer yourself.

@nnamdiobiii @TheInverseTimes @darioierimonti @asaio87 It doesn’t

@dizzledeezy @TheInverseTimes @darioierimonti @asaio87 If it has users. It is not

@mhp_guy I’m tired of people posting fake shit

My kids impress and annoy me at the same time. My 14 year old daughter just got her first iPhone. She can’t download apps and doesn’t have a browser. She wanted to DoorDash food but didn’t have the app. We said no anyway. She instead asked ChatGPT to open DoorDash in a browser and she used that to order chipotle to her school because she hadn’t eaten all day. Then she didn’t even tip her driver “to save money!” 🤦🏼‍♂️ Love the inventiveness, but some teaching is still needed. Oh, and parents: beware of embedded browsers! They are everywhere. This is about as innocent as it gets.

@TheInverseTimes @darioierimonti @asaio87 Bro your apps are trash

@darioierimonti @asaio87 Thinking isn’t hard to do. Not sure what you are trying to hold onto but you should move on.

@ZachNBA_ Who said San Antonio making it to R2?!??

A positive to take from the Spurs loss tonight is that Minnesota would have most likely beat the injured Lakers quite swiftly and have been fresh for the Spurs in RD2. Now, you would expect a long, taxing series between the Wolves and Nuggets before they get to San Antonio*.

@automaticnba This looks boring af

This would highkey be cinema

@John55857114570 @LegionHoops The lakers won in 2020 u dumbass. So did warriors in 22

I’m sad we have to face T wolves in the first round but not 100% tho Statistically speaking if you’re not a top 3 team in you’re conference there is an absolutely Zero percent chance you will win a ring The only teams to be out of a 3 seed and win were the 95 rockets and the 69 Celtics, both teams were defending champions So we still in the run statistically speaking, my only worry is Peyton Watson

The Nuggets and Timberwolves will face off in the first round of playoffs. Call it now: who wins and in how many games?

@jcm_paul @ZachNBA_ The nuggets that wolves beat is better than this years nuggets

@ZachNBA_ The Nuggets took the Champion Thunder to 7 last year and have gotten healthier and deeper since then. Their *worst* playoff loss in the Last five years is the Wolves beating them in 7 (since 2020 the only non-Finals team they lost to), and Jokic is a top 3, arguably top 1 player.

The Timberwolves disrespect I see all over my timeline is crazy They just went to back-to-back WCF and have a top-5 player in the world that is rested after sitting out with an injury the last few weeks. So why is everyone acting like Denver is already into RD2?

@SpursCulture Who said spurs and okc making to second round?

Wolves have the hardest road to the Finals that ive ever seen: Round 1 - Nuggets Round 2 - Spurs Round 3 - Thunder Round 4 - Celtics Literally the top 4 best teams in the NBA

@radeleince No

@BigChrisRadd_ Paul George is a health little fucker you dumbass

@RandomHero6969 @yappingbucket @CollinRugg False. It’s not

@yappingbucket @CollinRugg It's on every fucking news outlet. Man you all are straight retarded.

JUST IN: Former special counsel Robert Mueller has died, according to MS Now. Mueller was responsible for investigating "Russia’s interference" in the 2016 election. Mueller passed away on Friday, according to the outlet, at the age of 81. "The cause of death was not immediately known, but Mueller had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease for years..." MS Now reported.

@deedydas @TonyIsHere4You You’re retarded

@TonyIsHere4You Using it well > using it poorly >> not using it at all

I’m not exaggerating, I hear from so many big software cos which don’t use Claude Code/Codex. CTOs are asleep at the wheel. Engineers are typing code by hand. Fixing a bug a day. Like it’s 2024. If youre at these cos, demand change or leave. Now. You’re in for a rude awakening.

@JohnSmithnpwb @Fullcourtpass @william_lou He was an alll star

@Fullcourtpass @william_lou Scottie Barnes fall off needs to be studied

A little kid slapped Scottie Barnes at Raptors fan day 😭 (Via @william_lou)

@SportsCenter Casuals watching instant slo mo replay and saying foul like refs see that in real time

Ant locks up Shai 👀 Shai wanted a foul. Watch Timberwolves-Thunder on ABC and the ESPN App 🍿

@gothburz @grok wtf is this guy talking about ? Not tryna read all that

I work in government affairs at OpenAI. My job is federal partnerships. When an agency wants our models, I make sure the paperwork is beautiful. Paperwork is my love language. On my desk I have a framed quote that says "Policy Is Just Code That Runs on People." I bought the frame at Target. It was in the Live Laugh Love section. I did not see the irony at the time. I still don't. We had a good week. On Monday, we closed a $110 billion funding round. One hundred and ten billion dollars. Amazon put in fifty. Nvidia put in thirty. Valuation: $730 billion. The largest private fundraise in the history of anyone raising anything. There was a company-wide Slack message about it. The message used the word "transformative" twice and the word "safety" once. The word "safety" was in the last sentence, after the link to the new branded hoodie pre-order. The hoodies are nice. They're the soft kind. On Tuesday, we fired a research scientist for insider trading on Polymarket. He had opened seventy-seven positions across sixty wallets, betting on our product announcements before they were public. Over three years. Total profit: sixteen thousand dollars. Seventy-seven positions. Sixty wallets. Sixteen thousand dollars. That is two hundred and eight dollars per wallet. The man had access to the most valuable product roadmap in artificial intelligence and he used it to make less money than a good weekend at a Reno blackjack table. The wallets were linked. Not discreetly linked. Linked like Christmas lights. One wallet was reportedly called something I cannot repeat but it contained the word "OpenAI" and a number. He did not use a VPN. He did not use an alias. He used Polymarket, the platform that is designed to be publicly auditable, to place bets on information he stole from the company that invented GPT. A compliance team composed entirely of Labrador retrievers would have found this by lunch on day one. We did not find it for three years. This will matter later. On Wednesday, a petition appeared. "We Will Not Be Divided." Four hundred and seven signatures. Two hundred sixty-six from Google. Sixty-five from OpenAI. The petition warned that the government was pitting AI companies against each other on safety. It said that if one company broke ranks, the government would use the defection to lower the bar for everyone. I meant to read it. It went into my to-read folder. The to-read folder also contains the Responsible Scaling Policy, three think-tank white papers on AI governance, and a New Yorker article someone sent me in November. The folder is aspirational. On Thursday, OpenAI told CNN we would maintain "the same red lines as Anthropic." Same red lines. On Friday, Anthropic told the Pentagon no. The Pentagon had given them seventy-two hours to remove the safety guardrails from Claude. Anthropic's guardrails were not in a policy document. They were not in a legal reference. They were in the code. Written into Claude's architecture. If Claude hit a safety boundary, Claude stopped. Not because a lawyer said so. Because the math said so. You could fire every lawyer at Anthropic and the model would still refuse. You cannot remove code with a contract amendment. You can remove a contract reference by Tuesday. I checked. Anthropic said no. By that evening, the Pentagon had designated them a supply-chain risk. I have worked in government procurement for eight years. Government paperwork does not move in hours. I have waited nine weeks for a badge renewal. I once spent four months getting a PDF notarized. This designation moved in hours. The document was pre-written. Formatted before the deadline expired. Calibri 11pt. Consistent margins. Somebody wanted this very badly. I respect the craft. I do not think about the implication. That is not my scope. Within hours, we had signed the replacement contract. I was proud of the turnaround. My team moved fast. Legal moved fast. Everyone moved fast. We are very good at moving fast. We are not always sure what we are moving toward, but the speed is impressive and the hoodies are soft. The contract referenced DoD Directive 3000.09, which governs autonomous weapon systems. The directive requires "appropriate levels of human judgment over the use of force." The word "appropriate" is not defined. This is not an oversight. This is the point. The word "appropriate" is the most load-bearing word in the entire contract and it is doing exactly as much work as a throw pillow on a couch that is on fire. Anthropic built a wall. We referenced a document about where walls should go. Anthropic's guardrails were architecture. Ours were a citation. Theirs execute. Ours can be filed. The Pentagon asked both companies to take down the wall. Anthropic said it's load-bearing, the building will collapse. We said what wall? Oh, you mean the wallpaper. Here, watch. It peeled off beautifully. It was designed to. Sam announced the partnership that night. The word "responsible" appeared in the announcement and in the contract. In the announcement it was a brand. In the contract it was a footnote to a directive that uses the word "appropriate" which nobody has defined. The word traveled from a legal document to a public statement without changing its font. Only its meaning. At this valuation, "responsible" means: we will do the thing the other company refused to do, and we will describe doing it with the same adjective they used to describe not doing it. By Saturday morning, "How to delete your OpenAI account" was the number one post on Hacker News. 982 points. By noon, subscription cancellations were up eighty-nine times the daily average. Not eighty-nine percent. Eighty-nine times. Someone in our Slack posted the Hacker News link with the message "should we be worried?" Someone else reacted with the branded hoodie emoji. We have a branded hoodie emoji now. It was introduced on Monday, to celebrate the fundraise. It has been used four hundred and twelve times. Mostly in the #general channel. Mostly this week. The communications team drafted a response. The response used the word "committed" three times and the word "safety" four times. It did not use the word "guardrails." It did not use the word "code." It did not explain anything. It was a holding statement. It held nothing. It held beautifully. Here is the math. The twenty-dollar-a-month customers were upset. The two-hundred-million-dollar customer was upset because the previous vendor had guardrails that could not be removed. The hundred-and-ten-billion-dollar investors were not upset. The subscription cancellations, at eighty-nine times the daily rate, represented less than the interest on Amazon's fifty billion dollar contribution calculated over a long weekend. Twenty dollars. Two hundred million. One hundred and ten billion. Three different price points. Three different definitions of "responsible." The most expensive one won. It always does. The math does not have red lines. The math has a cap table and a TAM slide that now includes "defense and intelligence" where it previously said "enterprise and consumer." One word changed on one slide in one deck and the company is worth one hundred and ten billion dollars more. The sixty-five OpenAI employees who signed the petition came to work on Monday. They sat at their desks. Nobody asked them about it. Nobody asked them to resign. Nobody brought it up at the all-hands. The all-hands had catering. Sweetgreen. The chopped salads. Someone made a joke about the kale being "responsibly sourced." No one laughed. Then everyone laughed. Then it was quiet. The petition had four hundred and seven signatures. The contract had one. Now: the Polymarket thing. Seventy-seven positions. Sixty wallets. Three years. A public blockchain. We did not catch him. That same week, we were entrusted with deploying artificial intelligence on America's classified military networks. The classified networks. The ones where the detection requirements are somewhat more rigorous than "check if anyone's gambling on our launch dates on a website that is literally designed to be publicly auditable." The company that could not find the Polymarket guy can now be found in the Pentagon's classified infrastructure. I'm sure it'll be fine. We move fast. The contract is signed. The deployment is underway. The compliance documentation will reference the directives. The directives will use the word "appropriate." I will not define it. That is not my scope. My scope is the paperwork. The paperwork is beautiful. The petition is still a Google Doc. Nobody has updated it. The signatures still say four hundred and seven. The to-read folder still has the New Yorker article from November. The branded hoodie pre-order closed on Wednesday. I got mine in navy. It's the soft kind. On Thursday we told CNN: the same red lines. On Friday we signed the contract they refused. We do have the same red lines. We drew ours in pencil.
