@KobeissiLetter Stop wasting your time no one cares what Trump says

BREAKING: US-Iran talks are now centering around "getting a deadline extension, not a deal," as President Trump's deadline is 3 hours away, per WSJ. The White House says Trump's response to Pakistan's 2-week extension request is "coming." We will be covering it in real-time.

@Nostre_damus Ok for 30 seconds of it happens be ready to sell if you guys don't think demand destruction will occur at $ 200 you deserve to lose money on the trade

Who is ready for $200 oil ?

@TedPillows Who gives a fuck what he has to say you know with 100 % confidence he will cave in like a cheap tent

🚨 JUST 6 HOURS LEFT Trump's deadline to Iran will end in 6 hours. The US administration thinks Iran will respond before that deadline. What do you think?

@krassenstein He will cave guaranteed can't rub spots of a leopard.

My guess is that Trump chickens out this evening and extends the deadline, claiming that the discussions have been positive, even though nothing has changed. I hope this is the case

@PressSec That statement is insane!

Why Trump’s huge $1.5T defense budget is worth every penny nypost.com/2026/04/07/opi…

@TrevAHall No one takes him Serious anymore he's bull shitting as usual

Seriously feeling sick from what I read this morning from POTUS.

The New Yorker just published what may be one of its most damning articles in recent years, alongside major investigations like its exposé of Harvey Weinstein, focusing not just on a darker, manipulative side of Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, but also his repeated deception and reckless leadership. The article draws on more than 100+ interviews, over 200+ pages of private notes from Dario Amodei, former OpenAI VP of Research, and previously undisclosed memos from Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI’s co-founder and chief scientist. The investigation found that Sam Altman’s issues didn’t just start with the creation of OpenAI. Back at Loopt, senior staff pushed to remove him as CEO twice over concerns about honesty and leadership. During his time at Y Combinator, partners raised similar complaints, and Paul Graham reportedly told others that Sam had been consistently dishonest. Inside OpenAI, Ilya Sutskever gathered around 70 pages of internal evidence, including Slack messages, HR records, and photos taken off company devices to avoid tracking. He shared them with board members using disappearing messages. The first memo opened by calling out a repeated pattern, starting with lying. Dario Amodei kept detailed private notes over several years, more than 200 pages, documenting his experience at the company. His conclusion was blunt: the core issue at OpenAI was Sam himself. There were also repeated problems with transparency around safety. Sam told the board that certain GPT-4 safety features had been approved, but when Helen Toner checked, some of the most controversial ones had never gone through proper review. He also failed to disclose that Microsoft had launched an early version of ChatGPT in India before required safety checks were completed. The superalignment team was publicly promised a large share of compute resources, around 20%. In reality, people working with the team say they received closer to 1 to 2%, often on outdated hardware. The effort was eventually shut down before it could finish its work. Sam also made side arrangements that cut around formal governance. At one point, he privately agreed with Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever that he would step down if the two of them decided it was necessary, effectively creating a separate power structure. The actual board was not aware of this. When it came to leadership, he played different sides. He struck a deal with Greg to become CEO, while telling researchers that Greg’s role would be reduced, and telling Greg something entirely different. After he was removed, the response turned aggressive. Sam told Mira Murati that his allies were actively trying to dig up damaging information on her. Around the same time, Thrive Capital paused a massive investment and signaled it would only move forward if Sam returned, putting pressure on employees who stood to gain financially. He also directly involved himself in reshaping oversight. He texted Satya Nadella suggesting a new board, including himself as CEO, and proposed who would run the investigation into his own conduct. The people later chosen to oversee that inquiry had been discussed with him beforehand. In the New Yorker article, one board member described him as someone who wants to please people in the moment but shows little concern for the consequences of misleading them. Several others independently used the word sociopathic. Altman was a literal “sociopath,” one OpenAI board member alleged. “He’s unconstrained by truth,” they told The New Yorker. “He has two traits that are almost never seen in the same person. The first is a strong desire to please people, to be liked in any given interaction. The second is almost a sociopathic lack of concern for the consequences that may come from deceiving someone.” Aaron Swartz, the famed coder and hacktivist who mysteriously died by suicide in 2013, used similar language to describe Altman. Swartz had been batchmates with Altman in the inaugural class of 2005 at the Silicon Valley incubator Y Combinator and warned friends about him just before his death. “You need to understand that Sam can never be trusted,” Swartz told one confidante. “He is a sociopath. He would do anything.” Among all of these new revelations, there is also a renewed civil lawsuit filed by Altmans younger sister, Annie Altman, who alleges he sexually abused her as a child beginning when she was 3 and he was 12. All of this is happening as OpenAI moves toward a potential trillion-dollar valuation and secures government contracts connected to surveillance, immigration enforcement, and military operations. Leadership like this raises urgent questions about who is really in control and what the stakes are. This is not about a single misstep or an internal dispute. It is a consistent pattern of deception, power plays, and sidestepping oversight at the helm of one of the world’s most influential AI companies. The deeper concern is not just what occurred inside OpenAI. It is what it signals for the future. A company shaping global technology, backed by massive capital and government influence, appears to have been guided by someone repeatedly accused of flouting rules designed to keep that power in check.

The New Yorker just dropped a massive investigation into Sam Altman, based on over 100 interviews, the previously undisclosed "Ilya Memos," and Dario Amodei's 200+ pages of private notes. It's the most detailed account yet of the pattern of behavior that led to Sam's firing and rapid reinstatement at OpenAI. Here's the breakdown: > Ilya compiled ~70 pages of Slack messages, HR documents, and photos taken on personal phones to avoid detection on company devices. He sent them to board members as disappearing messages. The first memo begins with a list headed "Sam exhibits a consistent pattern of . . ." The first item is "Lying." > Dario kept detailed private notes for years under the heading "My Experience with OpenAI" (subheading: "Private: Do Not Share"), totaling 200+ pages. His conclusion: "The problem with OpenAI is Sam himself." > Sam reportedly told Mira his allies were "going all out" and "finding bad things" to damage her reputation after the firing. Thrive put its planned $86B investment on hold and implied it would only close if Sam returned, giving employees financial incentive to back him. > Sam texted Satya Nadella directly to propose the new board composition: "bret, larry summers, adam as the board and me as ceo and then bret handles the investigation." The two new members selected to oversee an independent inquiry into Sam were chosen after close conversations with Sam himself. > Before OpenAI, senior employees at Loopt asked the board to fire Sam as CEO on two separate occasions over concerns about leadership and transparency. At Y Combinator, partners complained to Paul Graham about Sam's behavior, and Graham privately told colleagues "Sam had been lying to us all the time." > OpenAI's superalignment team was promised 20% of the company's compute. Four people who worked on or with the team said actual resources were 1-2%, mostly on the oldest cluster with the worst chips. The team was dissolved without completing its mission. > Sam told the board that safety features in GPT-4 had been approved by a safety panel. Helen Toner requested documentation and found the most controversial features had not been approved. Sam also never mentioned to the board that Microsoft released an early ChatGPT version in India without completing a required safety review. > Sam made a secret pact with Greg and Ilya where he agreed to resign if they both deemed it necessary, essentially appointing his own shadow board. The actual board was alarmed when they learned about it. > Sam struck a deal with Greg to become CEO while simultaneously telling researchers that Greg's authority would be diminished, and telling Greg something different. > A board member described Sam as having "two traits almost never seen in the same person: a strong desire to please people in any given interaction, and almost a sociopathic lack of concern for the consequences of deceiving someone." Multiple sources independently used the word "sociopathic." > OpenAI is reportedly preparing for an IPO at a potential $1 trillion valuation while securing government contracts spanning immigration enforcement, domestic surveillance, and autonomous weaponry in war zones.

@AFRICANDEMOC Fake news

Tulsi Gabbard United States Director of National Intelligence has been fired Breaking news

@Nostre_damus @DeItaone Trump underestimated his opponent big time. Being overconfident going into anything in life usually results in an adverse outcome. Trump is way in over his head on this one!

@DeItaone Iran already rejected it

Hey @WhiteHouse, we demand proof of life on Donald J. Trump and we demand it now. Retweet the shit out of this.

Hearing narratives about Private Credit firms about to make a killing as loans get sold at fire sale prices and they are going to “pick up the pieces”. They Are Going To Be The Sellers At Fire Sale Prices. They own them at 100. Wake up people!

MAJOR CASUALTY COVER-UP BY HEGSETH ALMOST 750 US TROOPS KILLED/WOUNDED — The Intercept

Pete Hegseth has fired twelve generals. Between them, five hundred years of military experience. Desert Storm. Iraq. Afghanistan. Gone. No reason given. In the middle of a war. These weren’t pen-pushers. They were the men who actually know what a ground invasion of Iran looks like. Perhaps they also know something else. That the man now running the Pentagon spent his career behind a Fox News desk rather than a command post. That his qualifications for managing the world’s most powerful military were, broadly speaking, strong opinions and good hair. Funny how they’re exactly the ones Hegseth just removed. Their replacements come with one qualification: complete loyalty to the vision. Five hundred years of hard-won, blood-soaked knowledge. Shown the door by a television presenter. What could possibly go wrong. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1
