@sama @OpenAI really needs to let users to clear their browser cache if they're not seeing GPT-5. GPT-4o did not suggest that I do that when I asked about the rollout, but GPT-5 became visible as soon as I did it.

GPT-5 rollout updates: *We are going to double GPT-5 rate limits for ChatGPT Plus users as we finish rollout. *We will let Plus users choose to continue to use 4o. We will watch usage as we think about how long to offer legacy models for. *GPT-5 will seem smarter starting today. Yesterday, the autoswitcher broke and was out of commission for a chunk of the day, and the result was GPT-5 seemed way dumber. Also, we are making some interventions to how the decision boundary works that should help you get the right model more often. *We will make it more transparent about which model is answering a given query. *We will change the UI to make it easier to manually trigger thinking. *Rolling out to everyone is taking a bit longer. It’s a massive change at big scale. For example, our API traffic has about doubled over the past 24 hours… We will continue to work to get things stable and will keep listening to feedback. As we mentioned, we expected some bumpiness as we roll out so many things at once. But it was a little more bumpy than we hoped for!

When someone tells you their new baby's name, just say "I love it!" and try not to think of the dog you know with the same name.

@wheeltakespod OMG, Ali and Gus! S2E10 was priceless. Which chest? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 (I’m 54 also with the humor of a 15 year old. You’re in good company.) And if you listen back, you didn’t think you’d get to Sanderson until 2030 so you’re ahead of schedule.😊

@wheeltakespod Ali & Gus - Gotta tell you how much I enjoy your podcast. I started reading last October after watching the first two seasons on Prime. I wanted more WOT and found y’all. Finished AMOL in April; on my 2nd read now, on TGS, listening to your old stuff along the way.

@wheeltakespod Just finished all 10 hours of COT podcast. Y’all are hysterical. I’m on chapter 23 of KOD, so that was fun to listen back and remember the vibe no plot that was COT. Looking forward to catching up with you in KOD episodes.

@jk_rowling It is hubris to believe that we understand all of the ways in which the human genome determines gender expression, beyond the physical expression of reproductive organs. Such an appalling lack of empathy towards the those who do neatly fit the definition of “normal”saddens me.

Link didn't work on last Tweet! "Nicola Sturgeon, the David Cameron of the SNP, has made a monumental mess and, although she can probably see the inevitable disaster that self-identification will be for vulnerable women and girls, refuses to back down." spectator.co.uk/article/scotla…

me after watching #TheWhiteLotus finale

The shattering of the Testa di Moro vase when Ethan and Harper finally made love was the shattering of the red herring that kept us all thinking that one of the husbands had to die. Well played, #WhiteLotus

The iPhone calendar UI for entering start and end times is dreadful. #uxdesign #fail

@CA_Dem @StopRepRecall @GavinNewsom Can you explain the logic in leaving the second question blank? Why wouldn’t you vote for the least objectionable (yes, they’re all bad) in the event the recall passes?

Ballots drop in just a few days. Vote NO on the recall by September 14 to #StopTheRepublicanRecall and keep California a blue state.

@LaymansLinguist @JacobThaisen “I’ll see you in a half an hour” is what I would say in causal speak. East Central Illinois transplant to Sacramento, CA.

@JacobThaisen Oh I haven't heard that one very often myself so it didn't even occur to me 😬 It sounds really British. Is it British?

Is 30 minutes <a half-hour> or <half an hour> in your dialect?

I just had a project manager tell me that we shouldn’t put anything in the product backlog that isn’t in project scope. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #agilefail

Let’s get loud!!! deadline.com/2021/06/zoeys-… #SaveZoeysPlaylist #ZoeysPlaylist @jcolburnlevy @SkylarAstin

@philozopher They renewed #TedLasso. Fun show with a great message.

Ran out of #TedLasso episodes, so I watched another of my go to happy movies: #PitchPerfect. To remix a phrase that suits both: Music is life! ¡Música es la vida!

@missmayim Is a throuple out of the question?

Okay I HAVE to ask... Team Oscar or Team Max? #CallMeKatFinale #CallMeKat

@CentipedeMouse @LaymansLinguist The legal counsel for my project at work is a gentleman by the name of Wa La. He is of Chinese descent, so I can totally see that.

@LaymansLinguist Stupid sidenote: looking at it spelled "wah-lah" makes me want to pretend it's a Cantonese loanword

You're gonna laugh even louder when you hear just how many times we've changed the spelling of a word in English just to make it look the way it sounded...

@TheStefanSmith Oh, do be careful what you wish for! 😂

I mostly want a husband because I'm tired of making all the decisions in my life. Like, please, someone (!!) come in with an opinion and just make this decision for me!

@marlenjott @LaymansLinguist “They are” sounds more natural to my hear: Where is Chris? They’re at the library.

@LaymansLinguist As a non-native, I gotta ask: I've always used it with the verbs in 3rd person plural, as in "they are" but I've seen a lot of people use "they is". Which one's correct for singular they?

It's been about a year since my last TikTok so here's why it's not that hard to use singular "they"! 😃

Tabs are a horrible way to organize data in an #Excel workbook. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

@LaymansLinguist Central Illinois: writer / rider ✅ cot / caught ❌ Mary / marry ✅ poor / pour ✅ pull / pole ❌ vial / vile ✅ mirror / mere ❌ quart / court ❌ wear / where ✅

"Do each of the following pairs of words sound the same ✅ or different ❌ to you?" writer / rider ✅ cot / caught ✅ Mary / marry ✅ (and merry too!) poor / pour ✅ pull / pole ✅ vial / vile ✅ mirror / mere ❌ quart / court ✅ wear / where ✅
