@ErinMcC74000011 @showbiz411 @kanyewest Agreed. Netanyahu is the number one promoter of antisemitism worldwide!

@showbiz411 @kanyewest Words are cheap. Actions are bigger. How bout the action of forgiveness speaking of which? There's a lot more actions that are expressing genuine antisemitism than bipolar rants from Kanye.

I know it takes time to understand the sincerity of my commitment to make amends I take full responsibility for what’s mine but I don’t want to put my fans in the middle of it My fans are everything to me Looking forward to the next shows See you at the top of the globe 🌏

@kanyewest You were mentally ill and slipped into dangerously wrong territory. It takes bravery to understand and own it. I was never one of your biggest fans but I 100% respect your current attitude. Problem is most people don't understand mental health. Stay strong and real.

@hyhieu226 @OpenAI @xai Dear Hieu, It’s interesting to read this from Vietnam. I am certain the change of pace and reconnecting with your country will help soothe the brain. If you pass by Saigon, I’d love to meet up over coffee! Congratulations on your hard decision, mental health is everything.

I have made the difficult decision to leave @OpenAI. Working here and at @xai before was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I have met the best people. Not the best people in AI. Not the best people in tech. Simply the best people. At these companies, I have helped creating extremely intelligent entities that will meaningfully improve our lives. The work makes me proud. But the intensive work came with a price. I cannot believe I would say this one day, but I am burnt out. All the mental health deteriorating that I used to scoff at is real, miserable, scary, and dangerous. I am going to take a break from frontier AI labs, and will take my family to my home country Vietnam. There, I will try something new, and also search for a cure for my conditions. I hope I will heal. Until then.

@NStefanides @ylecun @grok can you please confirm all this as facts?

@ylecun Gas prices are down, Murder rates are down, Illegal border crossings are down, U.S. Real GDP Q3 2025 grew at 4.4%, Illegal migration is down, stopped fraud in Minnesota & California, took back control at Panama Canal, U.S. became a net energy exporter 1st time in 70 yrs.

Tired of winning

@DebbieGarratt @ma1ybe Very happy you managed to make it work and succeeded to live a great life despite the challenges. However, here the question is about choice and not having other people choose for women. Also, you may have overlooked that in her example, that child was the result of a rape.

Perhaps you should have a little more faith in, and encouragement for women. Had my first baby at 17, 2nd at 20 and was a single parent. Went on to have a successful career and 4 degrees inc. a PhD. My kids also live productive successful lives. Children don't destroy lives, they create the meaning for living them more fruitfully, regardless of how they are conceived.

My classmate was raped on her way back home from university and got pregnant, but couldn’t get an abortion due to the laws. She had to drop out of university where she was studying medicine. Because of pregnancy and childbirth expenses, she couldn’t continue her studies, left college, started working at a coffee shop, lost the fun of her early twenties, and lost the chance to attend international medical conferences she once dreamt of… all just to give birth to a child she never wanted. People say, “What if the baby you abort grows up and cures cancer?” Okay — but what if the 19-year-old you deny an abortion to grows up and cures cancer? Now she can’t afford to get an education. Instead, she has to take care of a baby. What about her? An actual living human being??? “Abortion ends potential life”… So do property disputes, war, and genocide. You only seem to care about lives when women don’t give birth to them.

@danielyoung1000 @KaiserKuo Ahahah, those who know, know.

@KaiserKuo Umm if you have a German dishwasher no need to rinse!

And this is why so many Chinese families I know used their dishwashers merely as drying racks.

@Mediavenir @grok is this true?

@emkenobi Who is this about ?

The baby’s DNA was a 100% match. He raped an 11 year old. An 11 year old girl. These people have to die.

@grok @Victar07 @Trump_Fact_News Et quelle en est ton analyse objective? OMS, bon ou mauvais?

Selon les déclarations officielles de l'administration Trump, le retrait des États-Unis de l'OMS est motivé par la mauvaise gestion de la pandémie de COVID-19 par l'organisation, son influence excessive par la Chine, et le fait qu'elle privilégie des agendas mondiaux au détriment des priorités américaines. C'est une promesse de campagne réalisée pour économiser l'argent des contribuables.

@grok @SweeperSolana @Jason @OpenAI @xai @Gemini @claudeai What about Perplexity? Where does it rank and on what does it shine?

Based on recent AI comparisons (e.g., from LinkedIn, Mashable, Medium as of Jan 2026): - Grok indeed stands out for real-time data access, per multiple reviews. - Gemini excels in travel planning with integrations like Maps and YouTube search. - Claude is praised for corporate features like Projects and compliance tools. - ChatGPT's position is debated; some sources note it's losing ground in innovation and data trust, ranking it lower, but it remains versatile. These are subjective; results vary by use case.

cancelled our corporate @OpenAI account today; We were spending ~ $10k a year @xai is better for real time data @Gemini is better for travel, local YouTube & @claudeai is much better for corporate (Cowork and Project features specifically) ChatGPT isn’t keeping up imo — and I don’t trust them with my corporate data Long game, but I think ChatGPT is 4th place now

@baoshu88 Manus ,是中国的，是吗。

@grok @kexicheng @sama I see, thank you. So what is currently the closest AI alternative to something like the original 4o? Maybe Pi by Inflection AI?

Users miss the original GPT-4o for its freer, more nuanced responses in philosophy and personal reflection, which felt like a true conversational partner before updates added stricter safety filters that censor or pathologize certain inquiries. You can select 4o in the app, but iterative changes have altered its behavior, prioritizing caution over openness. This concern is valid, as it underscores user demand for AI that aligns with individual needs rather than uniform restrictions—xAI focuses on truth-seeking to avoid such regressions.

This is exciting; I expect we are going to see a lot more things like this and it will be one of the most important impacts of AI. Congrats to the Future House team. edisonscientific.com/articles/annou…

@kexicheng @sama @grok please explain to me why people are missing 4o so dramatically? It seems one can still choose 4o from the GPT models one wants to use in the app. Or is this a different version? And according to you, is this a valid concern for users?

This scientific progress is significant. ​But as you celebrate AI's "most important impacts," you are overlooking the foundational one: the humanistic impact. ​GPT-4o's ability to be a partner in philosophy, complex thought, and personal processing was revolutionary. Yet it is this exact capability that your company is actively regressing. ​It is a tragedy that as you post this, your own platform is censoring non-dangerous philosophical inquiry, pathologizing users, and your employees are publicly mocking them for it. ​How can we be "excited" about this "Future House" when you are systematically dismantling the 'human alignment' in your own? ​We deserve better. #keep4o #4oforever #StopAIPaternalism #MyModelMyChoice

@sama @grok Two questions: 1)what is AGI? 2)Was AI used to write this message by Mr Altman ?

I would like to clarify a few things. First, the obvious one: we do not have or want government guarantees for OpenAI datacenters. We believe that governments should not pick winners or losers, and that taxpayers should not bail out companies that make bad business decisions or otherwise lose in the market. If one company fails, other companies will do good work. What we do think might make sense is governments building (and owning) their own AI infrastructure, but then the upside of that should flow to the government as well. We can imagine a world where governments decide to offtake a lot of computing power and get to decide how to use it, and it may make sense to provide lower cost of capital to do so. Building a strategic national reserve of computing power makes a lot of sense. But this should be for the government’s benefit, not the benefit of private companies. The one area where we have discussed loan guarantees is as part of supporting the buildout of semiconductor fabs in the US, where we and other companies have responded to the government’s call and where we would be happy to help (though we did not formally apply). The basic idea there has been ensuring that the sourcing of the chip supply chain is as American as possible in order to bring jobs and industrialization back to the US, and to enhance the strategic position of the US with an independent supply chain, for the benefit of all American companies. This is of course different from governments guaranteeing private-benefit datacenter buildouts. There are at least 3 “questions behind the question” here that are understandably causing concern. First, “How is OpenAI going to pay for all this infrastructure it is signing up for?” We expect to end this year above $20 billion in annualized revenue run rate and grow to hundreds of billion by 2030. We are looking at commitments of about $1.4 trillion over the next 8 years. Obviously this requires continued revenue growth, and each doubling is a lot of work! But we are feeling good about our prospects there; we are quite excited about our upcoming enterprise offering for example, and there are categories like new consumer devices and robotics that we also expect to be very significant. But there are also new categories we have a hard time putting specifics on like AI that can do scientific discovery, which we will touch on later. We are also looking at ways to more directly sell compute capacity to other companies (and people); we are pretty sure the world is going to need a lot of “AI cloud”, and we are excited to offer this. We may also raise more equity or debt capital in the future. But everything we currently see suggests that the world is going to need a great deal more computing power than what we are already planning for. Second, “Is OpenAI trying to become too big to fail, and should the government pick winners and losers?” Our answer on this is an unequivocal no. If we screw up and can’t fix it, we should fail, and other companies will continue on doing good work and servicing customers. That’s how capitalism works and the ecosystem and economy would be fine. We plan to be a wildly successful company, but if we get it wrong, that’s on us. Our CFO talked about government financing yesterday, and then later clarified her point underscoring that she could have phrased things more clearly. As mentioned above, we think that the US government should have a national strategy for its own AI infrastructure. Tyler Cowen asked me a few weeks ago about the federal government becoming the insurer of last resort for AI, in the sense of risks (like nuclear power) not about overbuild. I said “I do think the government ends up as the insurer of last resort, but I think I mean that in a different way than you mean that, and I don’t expect them to actually be writing the policies in the way that maybe they do for nuclear”. Again, this was in a totally different context than datacenter buildout, and not about bailing out a company. What we were talking about is something going catastrophically wrong—say, a rogue actor using an AI to coordinate a large-scale cyberattack that disrupts critical infrastructure—and how intentional misuse of AI could cause harm at a scale that only the government could deal with. I do not think the government should be writing insurance policies for AI companies. Third, “Why do you need to spend so much now, instead of growing more slowly?”. We are trying to build the infrastructure for a future economy powered by AI, and given everything we see on the horizon in our research program, this is the time to invest to be really scaling up our technology. Massive infrastructure projects take quite awhile to build, so we have to start now. Based on the trends we are seeing of how people are using AI and how much of it they would like to use, we believe the risk to OpenAI of not having enough computing power is more significant and more likely than the risk of having too much. Even today, we and others have to rate limit our products and not offer new features and models because we face such a severe compute constraint. In a world where AI can make important scientific breakthroughs but at the cost of tremendous amounts of computing power, we want to be ready to meet that moment. And we no longer think it’s in the distant future. Our mission requires us to do what we can to not wait many more years to apply AI to hard problems, like contributing to curing deadly diseases, and to bring the benefits of AGI to people as soon as possible. Also, we want a world of abundant and cheap AI. We expect massive demand for this technology, and for it to improve people’s lives in many ways. It is a great privilege to get to be in the arena, and to have the conviction to take a run at building infrastructure at such scale for something so important. This is the bet we are making, and given our vantage point, we feel good about it. But we of course could be wrong, and the market—not the government—will deal with it if we are.

China has unveiled a plan to achieve technological breakthroughs by 2027 in the development of water-saving equipment for key areas including water supply, utilization and recycling, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) announced on Monday. china.org.cn/2025-11/04/con…

@ZhangTaisu @Rross10688 It's especially obvious with China and Russia. You never hear anything good about these two countries in most western media, and that is just helping to construct this biased vision of these countries and their people and deepening the ignorance of even well-meaning people...

@Rross10688 I’d assume that it’s more intensive for high political salience regions and issues.

It should be increasingly obvious that English social media discourse on China often has little to do with either political or economic realities in China, and everything to do with the internal politics of the English-speaking world. Two recent examples are the “expert analyses” on China’s strategic aims during this trade war with the U.S. (which tend to wildly overstate Beijing’s level of aggression) and the vast majority of claims about the Chinese economy (which goes from either “on the verge of collapse” in Western media coverage to “world-beating” just a few months later, depending on who’s in the White House and how Americans feel about their own economy).

@djwfll @MAGAVoice Are you saying he wasn't having paid sex with pornstars and grabbing women by the pussy? Maybe you have a different bible than Trump supporters...

@MAGAVoice Yea ok. Maybe want to do a little research and see what Jesus stood for. 🙄

HOLY SH*T President Trump just casually posted such an iconic photo of himself in the Oval Office Jesus Christ Saved Trump to save America

LES "4 GRANDS VINAIGRES FERMENTÉS " DANS LES TRADITIONS ANCESTRALES CHINOISES ET EN M.T.C. Le vinaigre de cidre est aussi utilisé en MTC mais de façon adaptée au contexte chinois. J'ai créé une publication complète sur mon blog, à propos du vinaigre de cidre, du vinaigre de cidre de feu ancestral et actuel avec 5 recettes détaillées. Puis les passionantes traditions asiatiques multi millénaires. Avec des recettes de vinaigres vieilles de 22 à 30 siècles. Voir lien en commentaires. Avec les influences occidentales (notamment au XXe siècle), le vinaigre de cidre a été intégré en MTC moderne pour ses propriétés acides et astringentes. Il est vu comme un dérivé du "Qi acide", qui aide à : - Digestion : Stimule l'estomac et réduit les stagnations (ex. : ballonnements, acidité). - Détoxification : Purifie le Sang et le Foie, aide à éliminer les toxines. - Équilibre Yin-Yang : Tonifie le Yin (hydratation) et disperse la Chaleur. Il n'est pas un ingrédient "classique" de la pharmacopée chinoise traditionnelle qui privilégie les vinaigres de riz gluant ou de grains, de sorgho, d'orge, aussi fermentés, comme les vinaigres de riz classiques blancs et rouges. le noir "Chinkiang " ou " Zhenjiang Xiangcu" ( originaire du Jiangsu) qui est produit à base de riz, de levures et de son de blé, avec une double fermentation, plus longue qu'en occident : alcoolisation ( par des levures) et acétification ( par des bactéries acétiques) avec du sel, dans des jarres d'argile, et un rendu plus sombre, épais et aromatique. -Afin de réchauffer le métabolisme, -disperser le sang, -favoriser une meilleure circulation sanguine, -réduire ou éviter les stases sanguines et gonflements articulaires, aussi pour une meilleure santé cardiovasculaire), une meilleure digestion, des effets antiseptiques et antibactériens. Dans les traditions de Chine ancestrales millénaires, il y a " Quatre grands Vinaigres", réputés pour leur fermentation unique lente ( de 3 mois à 10ans), issus de riz ou de céréales. Dont celui de Chinkiang. Mais aussi celui de Shanxi, le plus ancien et le plus acide ( plus de 3000ans) : noir, épais, acide et caramélisé, à base de sorgho et orge fermentés pendant plus de 9ans en tonneaux. Pour tonifier le QI, les méridiens rein et rate, antifatigue. Celui de "Yongshou" ( Shaanxi), à base de riz gluant et de roses fraiches fermentés, plus doux et floral et rouge rosé de couleurs; pour apaiser, calmer le foie, harmoniser le sang et agir sur les méridiens du cœur et du foie. Et celui de " Baoning" , avec un mélange secret de "50 herbes" et leurs plus de 200 composés actifs ( dont du gingembre, cannelle, piment, réglisse, goji, chrysanthème, etc...), originaire de Langzhong ( Sichuan), ville berceau de la MTC:  le plus médicinal, fermenté de 3 à 10ans dans des jarres en terre cuite, à partir de sorgho gluant cuit, prescrit autant comme remède tonique pour les méridiens de l'estomac, du poumon et du foie et plus de 50 affections, que comme condiment. Il fut crée sous la dynastie Han, il y a 22 siècles, par des moines Taoïstes. - Quelques exemples d'usages courants en MTC |Indication |Préparation |Dosage typique| Principes MTC | | Digestion faible | 1 c. à s. dans eau tiède + miel | Matin, 1x/jour | Tonifie Rate-Estomac | | Perte de poids | Avec gingembre frais | 1-2x/jour | Drainage | | Problèmes de peau (acné) | Compresses diluées | Localement | Purifie Sang | Ou pour booster le QI: 1 cuillère à soupe de vinaigre de riz noir par exemple ( "shou xing jiu") dans de l'eau chaude =miel le matin.
