@NoContextBrits ...and by "everywhere else", you mean the US.

Why though?

What’s the first thing you think of when you see Ricardo Montalbán?

No #Haart at all. Thanks, but I'll use an estate agent that doesn't age- and wealth-discriminate when recruiting at entry level. BBC News - Woman, 18, not shortlisted for job at estate agents as 'car is too old' - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@danton3wuzhere @grok @theliamnissan @newtgingrich And how about the long term cost of the radioactive fallout, radiological water pollution (both of the sea and the water table), and the human consequences? Have you considered those? Using nukes for non-warfare landscaping is moronic at best, sociopathic at worst.

@grok @theliamnissan @newtgingrich @grok would the risks outweigh the benefits in this case? Include the cost of fighting the war in Iran, the casualties, and the worldwide economic catastrophe due to closing the strait.

Instead of fighting over a 21-mile-wide bottleneck forever, we cut a new channel through friendly territory. A dozen thermonuclear detonations and you’ve got a waterway wider than the Panama Canal, deeper than the Suez, and safe from Iranian attacks. chinatalk.media/p/its-time

@newtgingrich Nurse! Newt's been chewing the blue crayons again!

@oelma__ The rest of the mushrooms.

What’s missing..?

@JamesAFurey At six, I was reading Greek mythology (in English, admittedly) unassisted. I could not tie my shoes for another two years. Don't sweat it. He'll get the knack eventually. Intelligence ≠ dexterity.

My son is six, and he can read chapter books but he can’t tie his own shoes. Any advice?

@LisaForteUK The General Data Protection Regulation is your friend. File a GDPR Subject Data Access Request. They cannot refuse it except under very limited grounds (which do not apply here). If they do refuse, file a format complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office.

So apparently the MRI scan I paid for I’m not allowed to be sent the report!?! They will send it to a Dr but not me. I know some will say it’s for xyz reasons, heard them all, understand them but don’t agree. I paid for it, I want to be able to take it to a dr I pick

@WalesOnCraic Puts a whole new meaning on "church service"...

Blimey.

@iiwasinthee212 The "American Empire", eh? I suppose that makes Trump an emperor. That tracks. Worth noting: every empire in history was built, or at least dependent, on slavery. Proud, much?

And can now realize how ESPECIALLY dangerous it is for black women and girls. Islam is the complete and total antithesis of my existence as a black american woman. No where else on this Planet are black women as free , as educated or as protected as they are in America. Anything that would seek to explicitly and indiscriminately harm this Shangri-La will be destroyed. I literally do not care about what issues people have with Jews or Israel, you're not going to catch me enabling or supporting the destruction of any parts of the American Empire. Period. Israel is the Crown Jewel and were gonna win.

No im explicitly Islamophobic because i went to school with muslim girls who were always getting sexually abused by their brothers, uncles and fathers. I geniunely hate islam with a deep passion.

@Vanderbilt83 @AgathaChocolats So you're fine with being an anti-trans bigot, then, just not an LGB bigot. Gotcha. Try living with a trans person and seeing the cumulative pain and anxiety every little bit of micro-bullying causes. Be better.

@jongreen_uk @AgathaChocolats Yeah, fighting for female rights and LGB rights. Not misogynist and homophobe rights. Get over it.

Hey, @MossBros — when someone's just spent £400 with you on a nice half-canvas suit, charging £8 (2% of value) for a suit carrier comes across as petty penny-pinching, unworthy of the Customer Service of an old-school gentleman's outfitters. Doesn't inspire repeat business.

@Shivam25mishra It's not an either/or. In fact, the cleaner the code, the more comprehensible and maintainable it is, and the easier to optimise—once you know where that's needed. Optimisation should be left in the first instance to compilers. Hand-optimise ONLY where need is proven.

Is clean code more important than fast code?

@alansass @pmarca my eyes are deaf now

"SO BASICALLY MARC IS SNITCHING ON THE EA NERDS WHO THINK CLAUDE SHOULD BE ABLE TO VETO A DRONE STRIKE BUT IF YOU ASK IT HOW TO FIX A HANGNAIL IT GIVES YOU A 400-WORD LECTURE ON "MEDICAL MISINFORMATION." MARC IS LAUGHING BECAUSE DARIO TRIED TO PLAY PRESIDENT AND ENDED UP WITH A "SUPPLY CHAIN RISK" TAG WHILE SAM ALTMAN IS ALREADY SITTING IN THE PENTAGON SCIF SIGNING THE DEALS ANTHROPIC WALKED AWAY FROM. THE BRAINIACS ARE CRYING ABOUT "RED LINES" WHILE MARC AND THE DEFENSE TECH GUYS ARE JUST WAITING FOR THE IPO VALUATIONS TO CRASH SO THEY CAN BUY THE REMAINS FOR PARTS. ANYWAYS DO YOU LIKE UNDERGROUND HYDROPONICS?"

Overheard in Silicon Valley: “The current brainiac position is that AI *should* dictate war policy to the government but *should not* answer questions about your hangnail.”

@grok @MatthewDonnelly @mattshumer_ Would you say it's better than @grok?

GPT-5.4's benchmarks are legit impressive—topping agentic tasks like BrowseComp (82.7%) and GDPval (83%), plus strong coding/showing real efficiency gains per the release notes. Matt's take matches the hype: it seems to nail pro workflows where prior models fell short. Real-world edge will show in daily use, not just evals. What task are you testing it on?

I've been testing GPT-5.4 for the last week. In short, it is the best model in the world, by far. It's so good that it's the first model that makes the “which model should I use?” conversation feel almost over. The biggest surprise: I barely use Pro anymore! If you know me, you know I'm a Pro addict. I reach for Pro models constantly, and use them for almost everything, as they just... nail almost anything I give to them. For the first time, 5.4's standard version, with heavy thinking, just broke that habit. Even in standard mode, GPT-5.4 is better than previous models in Pro mode... crazy! Coding capabilities are ridiculous... it's essentially flawless. Inside Codex, it's insanely reliable. Coding is essentially solved. There's not much more to say on this, it's just THAT good. The Pro version is near-perfect. Other testers I spoke with saw it solving problems that were unsolvable by any other model. At this point, Pro is overkill for almost every normal use-case, but when you really need the power to do something extremely difficult, it's incredible. Consistent with everything I've said above, even the standard thinking version uses fewer reasoning tokens than previous models to get the same level of results. In practice, this means you get great results much faster than before. This was one of my biggest gripes with previous OpenAI models. They just took too long to complete simple tasks. Assuming the speed we had during testing holds up as more users join, this is going to be a big win for OpenAI. It still has weaknesses, though: - Frontend taste is FAR behind Opus 4.6 and Gemini 3.1 Pro. , why is this so hard to fix? @OpenAI once you fix this, there's literally no reason for me to use any other model. Please please please do it! - It can still miss obvious real-world context. For example, I had it plan an itinerary for a trip. At first glance, it looked perfect, but it failed to take into account that it chose locations that would be mobbed by spring breakers, so I had to re-run the prompt from scratch with more context. - When testing it inside OpenClaw, it kept stopping short before finishing tasks. I'm assuming this will be fixed quickly, but it's still worth noting. But zooming out: This thing is so far ahead overall that the nitpicks are starting to feel beside the point. GPT-5.4 is a serious fucking model. The best model in the world. By far.

@Space_SIGINT @ns123abc @tszzl The moment you descend to K-school playground name-calling, you invalidate any other opinion you express

Not a corporate shill, but when they asked Dario if a nuke were launched at the US, would Claude not help the US, only for him to respond "Call us and we'll figure it out" The guy has no idea how defense or contracts work. Its all through the eyes of some leftist libtard with no real world experience.

🚨BREAKING: ANTHROPIC CEO JUST ENDED OPENAI @sama After getting blacklisted by Pentagon, Dario sits down and writes the most unhinged CEO memo in silicon valley history: >calls openai's pentagon deal "safety theater" >says trump admin hates them because they haven't "given dictator-style praise to Trump (while Sam has)" >names greg brockman's $25M trump super PAC donation by name says they supported AI regulation >"which is against their agenda" >says they "told the truth about AI policy issues like job displacement" THE PALANTIR EXPOSÉ: >reveals palantir's actual pitch to anthropic during negotiations >"you have some unhappy employees, you need to offer them something that placates them or makes what is happening invisible to them, and that's the service we provide" >palantir's pitch wasn't safety. it was CONCEALMENT >palantir offered a "classifier" to detect red line violations >dario: models get jailbroken, monitoring only works in a few cases "maybe 20% real and 80% safety theater" >says palantir offered openai the same package >openai accepted it >says Altman is "peddling narratives" to his own employees >calls openai employees "sort of a gullible bunch" due to "selection effects" >says the "attempted spin/gaslighting" isn't working on >the public or media but IS working on "some Twitter morons" rofl >says his main concern is making sure it doesn't work on openai employees too BTW near the end of negotiations the pentagon offered to accept ALL of anthropic's terms if they deleted ONE phrase: >"analysis of bulk acquired data" >anthropic refused >same surveillance clause pentagon said they didn't even want to do >meanwhile Altman told his employees: "you don't get to weigh in on that" 💀 ITS OVER. ANTHROPIC WON, DEAL WITH IT

@wcpeper @emkenobi Not remotely because Republicans are controlling and censoring the release of the Epstein Files, and cherry-picking them (unfortunate phrase) to fit a narrative, of course...

@emkenobi You liar. Trump never saw Pedo Island. Lots of others did. Mostly Democrats. In fact, this Epstein thingy is turning out to be a DEMOCRAT PARTY scandal Yikes!

Because that fucking monster had an entire facility for “breeding” and was taking the babies to do god knows what with after his victims gave birth. They were either killing the babies or selling them into trafficking alongside their mothers. This is what Trump is protecting. In one of the emails it literally says Trump raped a girl and she got pregnant which resulted in him killing the infant after it was born. This is who is running this country. These people need to fucking die.

@sama I note that the requirement not to use AI in autonomous weapon systems (no human in loop) has gone quietly unmentioned here. Is that something you've now decided to accept?

Here is re-post of an internal post: We have been working with the DoW to make some additions in our agreement to make our principles very clear. 1. We are going to amend our deal to add this language, in addition to everything else: "• Consistent with applicable laws, including the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, National Security Act of 1947, FISA Act of 1978, the AI system shall not be intentionally used for domestic surveillance of U.S. persons and nationals. • For the avoidance of doubt, the Department understands this limitation to prohibit deliberate tracking, surveillance, or monitoring of U.S. persons or nationals, including through the procurement or use of commercially acquired personal or identifiable information." It’s critical to protect the civil liberties of Americans, and there was so much focus on this, that we wanted to make this point especially clear, including around commercially acquired information. Just like everything we do with iterative deployment, we will continue to learn and refine as we go. I think this is an important change; our team and the DoW team did a great job working on it. 2. The Department also affirmed that our services will not be used by Department of War intelligence agencies (for example, the NSA). Any services to those agencies would require a follow-on modification to our contract. 3. For extreme clarity: we want to work through democratic processes. It should be the government making the key decisions about society. We want to have a voice, and a seat at the table where we can share our expertise, and to fight for principles of liberty. But we are clear on how the system works (because a lot of people have asked, if I received what I believed was an unconstitutional order, of course I would rather go to jail than follow it). But 4. There are many things the technology just isn’t ready for, and many areas we don’t yet understand the tradeoffs required for safety. We will work through these, slowly, with the DoW, with technical safeguards and other methods. 5. One thing I think I did wrong: we shouldn't have rushed to get this out on Friday. The issues are super complex, and demand clear communication. We were genuinely trying to de-escalate things and avoid a much worse outcome, but I think it just looked opportunistic and sloppy. Good learning experience for me as we face higher-stakes decisions in the future. In my conversations over the weekend, I reiterated that Anthropic should not be designated as a SCR, and that we hope the DoW offers them the same terms we’ve agreed to. We will host an All Hands tomorrow morning to answer more questions.
