🚨 OpenAI just accidentally leaked all the internal models in Codex model picker Seem to be only on pro accounts

.@TaylorLorenz on why techno-optimism is gone from the political left and the evolution of the tech industry: "When I started reporting on tech and getting involved in tech, that was the early 2010s, the whole tech industry was like 'Obama, we love tech'. Those tech companies were seen as progressive." "I understand the criticism of [big] companies, but I don't understand the criticism of technology, and I think they conflate technology with big tech or big companies." "I think you can criticize certain policies of big companies and still love technology."

.@pmarca says we haven't had a true internet election yet, and he thinks we'll have a fully 'internet candidate' by 2032. "People talk about Trump as the internet candidate, but he's really a hybrid." "He's very social media fluent, but he is also very television and of course his entire career was made on television." "There will be an internet president who gets elected, I believe, entirely based on the internet, where they don't pay any attention at all to what's on TV... they're gonna be a 100% a creature of the internet."

.@MartinShkreli: "The peptide thing is all BS." "Drugs are like seemingly simplistic. And the reality is, it's pretty freaking difficult." "Imagine the SpaceX landing, like the chopstick or the landing on its head... drug development makes that look easy." "Peptides in general are just this terrible asset class for pharma, because you need drugs that have long half-lives." "What this really is about isn't about pharmacology or science. This is about rebellion: I don't want to pay Pfizer. I don't wanna see my doctor. I don't wanna pay insurance... I'm gonna do this myself."

SpaceX said it has entered an agreement to either acquire Cursor for $60 billion later this year or pay $10 billion for their work together. @maxwiethe: "I think this is all being done to try to get the SpaceX IPO out this summer at the valuation that [Elon] wants."

SITUATION DETECTED: SpaceX enters into a compute agreement with Cursor, gaining the right to acquire Cursor for $60B

.@TaylorLorenz on the proposed phone ban in England: "You don't need a law to do that." "To have a law that police officers in schools are enforcing and basically stop and frisking kids for potentially having a cell phone is deranged." "Our entire world runs with the phone." "To take it away from students and not teach them boundaries and not teach them the skills that they should learn when they're young... moderation, how to resist being on your phone 24/7... you have to teach them those skills."

SITUATION UPDATE: President Trump has extended the ceasefire with Iran until “such time as their proposal is submitted and discussions are concluded.”

.@MartinShkreli is bullish on photonic computing. "I think it's sort of time for the end of silicon." "I was very convinced that the quantum computing story is basically fraud. I literally think some of the CEOs of the quantum computing companies will go jail." "If we had an optical computer, I think it would have a 1000x to a 1,00,000x performance." "Compared to biological computing or quantum or some of the other alternative computings, those aren't really that exciting."

SITUATION DETECTED: OpenAI has released their latest image model, ChatGPT Images 2.0.

.@MartinShkreli is with us live on MTS

.@shaunmmaguire: "I would rather have a short war with Iran to prevent them from getting nuclear weapons and to reassert American influence in the region rather than letting us just get run over by China."
