@itsalfredw I don't remember consenting that this data will be allowed for ad targeting as part of the flow

ChatGPT just won ad targeting. OpenAI now sees what you buy, save, and invest in, with consent. No ad network has ever had this signal.

@mcuban Just tax the energy directly

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level. Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens. It will accomplish 4 things (at least ) 1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization Which will 2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption Which will 3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x Which will 4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally. Thoughts ?

@mwfowlie @RobertFreundLaw Not exactly

@RobertFreundLaw I don’t doubt this for a second but this is just how internet advertising works. If this isn’t legal then everyone from the New York Times to Disney to some random blog will get sued.

ChatGPT allegedly shares your chat query topics, user IDs, and email addresses with Google and Meta, according to a new class action lawsuit filed today.

@OrdinaryInds It’s just moving its left arm so it doesn’t hit the rail when the right arm reaches across the body

I highly doubt the headset adjustment it does is a deficit in the model. This looks to be tele-operated.

I'm curious what happened here..

@asherperlman Funny but too literal!

@MikeIsaac Scott is a solid dude

MSFT counsel calls Kevin Scott, MSFT's CTO, to the stand Scott in a pleasantly dark tartan suit with a black tee underneath, black sneakers (new balance?) walks in leisurely like he's done this before

good morning from downtown oakland on the penultimate day of musk v altman i had the worst night sleep in years, am running late to court, and just ran over a gnarly pothole that may have blown my tire but i will deal with that later follow along for more updates not about me

@axios There’s something here but man this really feels like a technology searching for a use case

Amazon pushes Alexa toward automated shopping axios.com/2026/05/13/ama…

@TechEmails Sayta characterized this board drama as "amateur city" in his testimony yesterday. Whatever you think of Microsoft, they were very much the adults in the room during "the blip."

Sam Altman's group chat with Satya Nadella November 21, 2023

@manosaie ‘Codex’ as a brand is much much more durable

Interestingly, this tweet revealed a divide on those who view Codex as a coding agent and those who view Codex as a general purpose computer agent that can write code (among many other things) I think this is telling that the future product direction is not well understood or intuited by even the early adopters of all these tools Codex is not a coding tool, it is a new way to use your computer. Chat is one way to interface with LLMs. That makes ChatGPT itself a subset of Codex, chatbots are a specific instantiation of general purpose agents but they will do so much more for you

@Dan_Jeffries1 @ylecun 80/20

We are less safe as a society by keeping Mythos (or any other smart model) tightly gated so only a few companies get it. Protecting 100 companies is not enough. There are 96 million open source projects on Github alone. What about securing all of those projects? What about the other $820 billion worth of closed source software that has hidden cracks too? It's like patching a 100 buildings in a city of 10 million buildings and saying we just saved the city. You did not. Open source alone alone has an estimated economic value of 8.8 trillion dollars to say nothing of its societal value. It is embedded in almost every other piece of software, closed or open on the planet. Society becomes stronger by wider distribution of technology not by adding gatekeepers. When we tried to gatekeep encryption, the gates were so high that most Americans didn't even bother getting the 128 bit encrypted browser. They just used the easier to get 40 bit one that was totally unsafe. When we finally took the restrictions away the era of ecommerce took off like a rocket because now it was feasible. The world did not become smarter in the era of the monks scribbling every text by hand in caves in the dark ages. It became smarter when we scaled reading, and as a byproduct, intelligence, with the printing press. Wide distribution raises the bar for everyone and makes society safer and more secure. Simple as that. It's counterintuitive but also true.

@bartonsmith This looks lovely but gtm for ‘personal productivity’ is gnarly

Email apps cater to people who want to be more productive. They help you triage faster and search harder so you can keep on top of it all. But what if the problem is with the underlying structure? What if we could avoid that work altogether? We’re building easy-going email for everyone else. For the people who don’t treat life like a to-do list and aren’t swiping their way to inbox-zero. If that sounds like you, we’d love to invite to our early release. Sign up below ❤️
