@BhandarkarPawan Hey @BhandarkarPawan! Does @grok’s current media tab represent humanity’s most important work? Super impressed with the work you’re doing!

@chalantsaffron @AndrewYang Agreed completely! It’s just jarring seeing one of the more important figures in the broader UBI discourse devolve into mobile phone plan shill. I had more respect for him before, etc.

@deaflibertarian & in the same breath linked Tylenol to autism…Are we supposed to listen to this stuff with a straight face?

@grok @manumechster @GovPritzker @grok do you think @XEng should consider addressing accounts like the above who tag Grok asking irrelevant questions as a means to sell t shirts?

@NoMansSky Light No Fire????? Now that Silksong exists, maybe it’s time.

@bob_noss But see even then the film shows how futile it all was. One girl doesn't even drink and the other pukes before they can have sex. A lesser movie would've shown it be successful.

Something I never hear anyone talk about is how this film goes out of its way to be a great psa for both safe sex and consent unlike practically all of its predecessors and Unrated raunchy cousins.

Updates to ChatGPT:
You can now choose between “Auto”, “Fast”, and “Thinking” for GPT-5. Most users will want Auto, but the additional control will be useful for some people.
Rate limits are now 3,000 messages/week with GPT-5 Thinking, and then extra capacity on GPT-5 Thinking mini after that limit. Context limit for GPT-5 Thinking is 196k tokens. We may have to update rate limits over time depending on usage.
4o is back in the model picker for all paid users by default. If we ever do deprecate it, we will give plenty of notice. Paid users also now have a “Show additional models” toggle in ChatGPT web settings which will add models like o3, 4.1, and GPT-5 Thinking mini. 4.5 is only available to Pro users—it costs a lot of GPUs.
We are working on an update to GPT-5’s personality which should feel warmer than the current personality but not as annoying (to most users) as GPT-4o. However, one learning for us from the past few days is we really just need to get to a world with more per-user customization of model personality.

It's worth remembering that DOGE is a failure at Every. Single. Possible. Level.
At the micro level, they misread, misled and straight up lied about many of the 'savings'. They'd announce '500m saved!' and it would be some contract where the money was 98% already spent and already wasn't being renewed.
At the macro level, they didn't impact spending at all. The government is spending more in 2025 than 2024, on basically the same trajectory but a little more.
At the institutional level, they didn't even convince the GOP that deficits are a problem worth caring about. The GOP just passed a bill that explodes the deficit by trillions of dollars.
At a personal level, Elon got run out of town with his tail between his legs and the most notable public facts about the Cracked Coders are that one of them was a mini Hitler, one was called 'big balls' and none of them bothered to learn how the government actually works before they lit it on fire.
They gutted a bunch of important institutions, fired whole departments at random, decimated medical research funding, killed a bunch of people dependent on USAID, and still failed at every possible level.
