@mehdirhasan This is game theory 101 and almost everybody failed.
The only way to guarantee survival is pressing the red button. If everybody presses the red button they will survive.
Everybody who presses the blue button is an idiot and deserves to die.

We are fundamentally good people - though, relatively, Trump voters are unsurprisingly the worst among us.

We asked this to a large sample of nationally representative Americans - blue wins by a 3:1 margin!

@TiTiKey_com inference is important! and differs in very interesting ways
anything in particular you're thinking about when it comes to the inference stack?

Trump on NATO: It all began with Greenland. We want Greenland, and they don’t want to give it to us, and I said, “Bye-bye!”

@maura_resister It was a auto pen signatue which is null and void.

@Nixtrodamis @moritzkremb @openclaw @kilocode Same experience with GPT-5.4. Constant lying about starting work, but nothing’s kicked off lol
English

Out of curiosity, I decided to use GPT 5.3 for my Openclaw brain/main agent in place of Opus 4.6. I was excited to test 5.4, but it is apparently not available via Oauth for Openclaw?
With Opus, it has been super productive and incredible. An amazing thought partner, brainstormer, and implementor of whatever I throw at it.
I had some simple tasks I’ve asked it to do with GPT as the brain. It says it is working on it and will report back in a few minutes when it’s done.
45 minutes later, no report. I ask how it’s going. “Didn’t do it. Would you like me to?” “Yes, that’s what I told you to do 45 minutes ago.”
This has been on repeat all day long. I had a specific project for it to work on. A project that I would have expected it normally to have finished in less than an hour with Opus running the show.
After 12 hours and countless rounds of not doing things, it has started LYING to me. I asked it to carry out the next phase, and within a few seconds gave a very detailed report, items built out, committed and pushed to Github and even returned a build number.
I said "Done already?" "Nope, all made up."
I haven’t been able to get it to make GPT 5.4 connect, which is stupid because I had Opus 4.6 connected within 20 minutes of release. Maybe when it works 5.4 will be better, but I am really questioning if it's worth even bothering with it at this point.
I mean, how much better could 5.4 be compared to 5.3?
TL;DR Since the switching from Opus to GPT 5.3 as the main on my OpenClaw, it went from a power assistant that could take over the world, to a lazy, lying, incompetent time waster that is about to be fired.
Instead of running benchmarks, lets discuss REAL WORLD USAGE. That is what matters. I can tell you, in real world usage, GPT 5.3 is absolutely USELESS.
English

There's finally a proper benchmark for @openclaw model performance.
I just found that @kilocode built an open source benchmark that tests models across 23 real world openclaw tasks like scheduling meetings, writing code, triaging email etc
gpt-5.3-codex is sitting at number one. tbh that matches my experience.
gemini 3 flash in second place. didn't expect that.
curious to see where gpt-5.4 will land on this.

You can now run a virtual iPhone with iOS 26.1+
Yes. A real version of iOS running inside a virtual machine on Apple Silicon Macs.
Not a simulator.
Not a fake UI.
An actual iPhone environment that boots, loads iOS 26.1, and works like a device.
What this means:
• iOS 26.1 boots virtually
• It behaves like a real iPhone
• Graphics acceleration works
• Researchers can test without a physical device
We just moved from “Apple probably has this internally” to “anyone can build it.”

🚨 Thomas Massie unloads on the Senate over the Epstein cover-up:
“Don’t muck this bill up. If you are, you’re part of the cover-up.”
“Sorry if one of your billionaire donors is embarrassed because he went to Rape Island. Some will be embarrassed. Some need to go to prison.”
“We’ll know this bill worked when rich men are being perp-walked to jail.”
That’s the standard. Not speeches. Not delays. Accountability.

Standing ovation for Mark Carney at Davos.
How utterly predictable.
That room full of private-jet hypocrites, offshore-account vampires, and unelected technocrats...people who’ve spent decades eroding borders, hollowing out nations, and printing money to fund their endless grift...rose to their feet like trained seals because one of their most loyal courtiers finally said the quiet part out loud.
Carney didn’t deliver “brutal honesty.”
He delivered the scripted panic of a dying regime.
He stood there, the former Bank of England governor, Goldman Sachs alumnus, UN climate envoy, and walking embodiment of the revolving door between finance and supranational power, and essentially begged the world to keep pretending that global governance is still viable now that the peasants have started electing leaders who put their own countries first.
His core message: Trump is coming, sovereignty is resurgent, and the middle powers must now band together to save the rules-based international order.
Translation: Please, someone, anyone, help us stop the nations from reclaiming control over their own money, borders, laws, and future.
The applause wasn’t for courage. It was relief.
Relief that someone still had the nerve to defend the indefensible in public while the entire edifice crumbles.
These people know the game is almost over.
They feel the ground shifting beneath their Davos panels and ESG summits.
They see tariffs coming, energy realism returning, digital currencies being wrestled away from central-bank control, and entire populations rejecting the open-borders, net-zero, stakeholder-capitalism sermon they’ve been force-feeding the world for thirty years.
So they clapped. Hard. Because clapping is all they have left.
Carney isn’t some lone truth-teller. He’s the high priest of a cult that’s finally running out of converts.
A rootless, borderless, loyalty-free operative who has spent his career shuffling between New York, London, Ottawa, and Geneva, always serving the same borderless elite, always ready to lecture the rest of us about “global public goods” while his patrons loot the middle class and destabilize societies for profit.
All that standing ovation proves is that Mark Carney remains exactly what he has always been:
A perfect servant of a parasitic globalist class that is now staring into the abyss.
And the abyss, for once, is staring back...with tariffs, deportations, energy dominance, and national interest unapologetically restored.
Enjoy the applause, Mark.
It’s the last desperate echo of an empire that’s already dead.
It just hasn’t stopped twitching yet.

Standing ovation for @MarkJCarney at Davos. (Those do not happen often). Brutally honest assessment of the situation Trump is creating for the world and the new approach middle powers now need to take. One of those speeches worth reading in full. Check it out

@anu_realm @thdxr Which SSH client is that? How does it compare to Termius?

@thdxr If they want to feel cool, they’d ssh into a tmux session from iOS for a vibe coding while driving TUI experience.
