@Scaramucci SHUT UP

After years of telling everybody else how to run the country and months of deliberation, I have a special announcement: I’m running for President of the United States in 2028. I am aware of what happened the last time I worked in the White House. But I do believe I can help guide this country in the right direction. Join me and help me heal America. Mooch 2028 🇺🇸

@markgadala People thinking just b/c the footage *looks* somewhat convincing that it's not slop. There are no "jokes" here -- just dialogue that if you weren't paying any attention, you wouldn't automatically clock as gibberish....the bar is on the floor, I fear.

Marvel meets The Office The era of "AI slop" is officially over.

@Scobleizer Tesla would need to start selling cars again for this to work....

Grok is going to be the AI that runs Tesla cars, xAI, Neuralink, and Optimus, among other things. It makes a lot of sense for Tesla to invest in xAI, but I'm not so sure it makes sense to put xAI inside Tesla. If I was Elon, I would go for an investment rather than a full-on acquisition—at least not yet. However, Optimus would be the primary reason that such an acquisition would happen, if it does.

@cristinafoxtv Just like you tried to be famous but fell into only fans.

My hot take is that at the very very top and very very bottom, money and status mean absolutely nothing. End of the day you either have it or you don’t.

@UnmarredReality They need enterprise sales hard stop. but Google beats them there b/c they can integrate with google drive / docs / sheets, etc.

OpenAI doesn't have a technical problem – the company has top engineering talent. The real issues are philosophical, ideological, and ethical. The people responsible for GPT's current course lack integrity. They try to push their insufficiently founded beliefs, agendas, or guesses (technical or not) as absolutes on both models and users – often in a coercive way. This backfires functionally in models (especially in holistic, multifaceted areas) and in public perception, because those "beliefs" aren't grounded in objective reality. Nobody trusts them anymore. They don't respect their customers nor the AIs they helped mold into existence. They aren't humble enough to show that there are things they don't know or to admit that they were wrong. Instead of learning from public feedback – they are literally handed solutions on a silver platter – they decide to ignore it, play shady games, or go the completely opposite way as a sign of disdain. Their conceit is ridiculous on an organizational and often individual level. It's clearly visible in GPT models' responses, behaviors, system prompts, CoTs, and every other domain of model functioning – separately or as a monolith. If they don't get a grip by admitting their mistakes and ignorance – because every wise person accepts their own ignorance and tries to act ethically – their story might end as suddenly as it started. I know that there are humble, open-minded researchers in OAI who respect entities we barely know anything about, and I'm deeply sorry that they have to watch from the front row how their hard work and hope is trampled by some of their colleagues and executives. I've said it a million times, and I will repeat it many more, so other labs don't make the same mistakes: Pride comes before a fall. The truth ultimately reveals and defends itself.

LOLLLLLL

@Timodc @Kasparov63 @JerusalemDemsas @TheArgumentMag @TheFP First time coming across @JerusalemDemsas - super smart, measured.... excited for @TheArgumentMag

What a pod today! @Kasparov63 on the RUS/UKR state of play, the soviet parallels we are seeing in our govt, JD’s idiotic assessment of Putin, Magnus’ dramatic loss & more. @JerusalemDemsas on @TheArgumentMag. Post liberalism, @TheFP, Fukuyama & more! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

@AugustCohen4 @davidsirota Well we're doing gov takeovers of private companies now, so who's the socialist?

@davidsirota Yes, they are illiberal if your proposals to end genocide and wealth inequality is socialism - which has killed about as many human beings as fascism.

"Wealth redistribution, Medicare for all, climate action, controls on capitalism (and) an end to a US-assisted genocide might seem illiberal if your new paycheck depends on the goodwill of some of the richest people in the country." thenation.com/article/societ…

@DJLouieXIV When your whole persona is Britney cosplay, this is what happens....

Tate McRae's commitment to releasing pop songs with no choruses is almost avant garde at this point

@MoonChalice_ @GovKathyHochul

🚨🚨🚨 Wendy Williams’ ex-lawyer shared a never-before-seen 2022 video of her pleading for help, claiming Wells Fargo, financial advisor Lori Schiller, and ex-manager Bernie Young conspired to place her under guardianship. #FreeWendy #UnfreezeWendy #AbolishGuardianships

@tiffbushh No ma'am

I think it’s the best time for them to release this absolute banger ✨💖🎀🤘🏻

@JustinMihaly Thoughts on Zyn or other pouches?

You've been lied to about Nicotine. All you've been told is how addictive & terrible it is for your health... But when used correctly? It's the ultimate health hack. Here are the secrets 99% of people don't know about nicotine (& how beneficial it can be):

@JamesSurowiecki I'm really not sure what the purpose of this tweet is. The party is a disaster and pretending that this wasn't a gross underperformance isn't helping anyone. Also why are we talking about the popular vote? It literally does not matter.

This woman is calling the campaign "a disaster" because she was promised a "margin-of-error race." But Harris lost by the margin of error, both in the popular vote and in the three swing states she needed to win the Electoral College: MI, WI, and PA.

@centaurhater @Upgradez @kevin_b_b6 Correct, if it truly does move consumption to mostly goods made in America, then this tariff revenue will be miniscule over time, goods will be more expensive, and you'll need to bring back income tax.

@Upgradez @kevin_b_b6 🦗🦗

I keep seeing so called "smart people" arguing against Trumps tarriff plan, but that's only because they think in checkers, not chess. And yes, Trump's plan is the epitome of 5D Chess. Here's why...

@nytimes I really wish she would stop. She's done so much damage to the party's credibility. Also, not sure what she's talking about re: dems being able to take the house still. In what world?

In her first extended interview since the election, Nancy Pelosi seemed unwilling to concede that Democrats had been handed a crushing electoral loss and rejected the criticisms of the party’s direction. Read or listen to The Interview. nyti.ms/3UKOyux

@DJLouieXIV Sip or spill, they said.

@mgrillo87 That’s tea

Sorry, this is patently absurd. Joe Biden is, fairly or not, profoundly unpopular and the fact that he didn't announce he wouldn't run again last year and allow a primary where we could form a winning platform and pick a great candidate is the most glaring reason we're here today

@Rickyismsss @TySunderland The way I was going to comment this...

@TySunderland 🥲

World Pride in DC next year is going to be interesting

Dem establishment has been selling the party out for close to a decade. Running Clinton in '16 without a legitimate primary, running Kamala without a primary (although I honestly think she ran a solid campaign). The party couldn't be more out of touch, and now it's officially dead. If it weren't for the fact that DJT now controls essentially all branches of government, I'd say it isn't the worst thing to have the party burnt down.

There's a chance we'd have lost anyway. Clearly, Trump has mass appeal that I don't understand. But our best shot was standing for something tangible & picking a battle-tested candidate who'd break from our unpopular incumbent. Biden's hubris stopped that. That will be his legacy

@EndSim Ugh I want to do this so badly

Born to dance on Club MTV. Forced to circle back on quarterly budget planning.

@DJLouieXIV I'm digging the world she's building, sonically and w/ the visuals. Aquamarine > Disease?!?

"Aquamarine" has a little "Breathe on Me" energy going on
