🛑 Do not add the ChatGPT Messages “plugin” to Apple Messages. And never use iMessage, SMS or RCS again. You’ll never know if the person you’re texting has been stupid and irresponsible enough to add this silent monitoring bot to your conversation. Governments no longer need to pressure Apple for a backdoor. OpenAI just built one for them. Every text you send them can end up on OpenAI’s servers, available to intelligence agencies and law enforcement through US legal process, and to other governments who can demand access through treaties and cross border agreements. Facebook Messenger is now safer than iMessage. @OpenAI just killed end to end encryption for Apple. Article in my drafts folder.

immediately after I went to the recent @UFBots, after about 5 minutes, the entire illusion of what these balance perfecting bots can do was dispelled show me the equivalent of our @BostonDynamics in terms of real world usability en masse. i have not seen china produce an equivalent yet. it's as if their entire purpose is to just... never fall down. thats all. what is the use of a body upright that can't do much of anything except not trip? what is the complexity add of: (~near perfect balance) x (hand-camera coordination) x (realtime safety analysis and maneuvers) it's as if china wants their robots to be super cool ninja warriors™ that can't do much else other than amazing kickflips and run very fast without falling but maybe that's the whole point? perfect on the cool factors first to wow the people and get them on the "yay technology!" side of things rather than our home turf's growing disdain and hatred regarding everything tech/ai/data related?

nothing scares me more than when my home agent starts printing out a bunch of shit takes me 3-5 seconds to figure it out "oh yeah, I told it to do xyz", but those 3-5 seconds are terrifying lmao

What do you mean? Are you, Citi, telling me to use a different bank/debit/credit card? >"Yes sir, use something else than Citi for Amazon sir" Uhh OK I guess
Woah, something just happened to GPT 5.6 Sol. Super, super fast all of a sudden. Fast mode of yesterday vs Fast mode of today is ~2x faster which is a lot

ugh @theo's T3 Code is so sexy both aesthetically and functionally now it just needs extensions (think pi extensions) so I don't have to do the raw source code modding way to get things particular to how I want them

uBlock Origin is no longer planning to keep chasing Facebook’s latest tricks to get ads past its filters, dev described Facebook as a “disgusting anti-user site.” They say Facebook has been repeatedly changing how ads are identified, watching open-source projects like uBlock Origin and changing its code to get around them. After years of this cat-and-mouse game, the small uBlock Origin team has decided it’s not worth constantly updating its filters specifically for Facebook.

Bernie Sanders has written a letter to Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Mark Zuckerberg urging them to immediately pause all AI development in the interest of humanity. And he warns if they do not take appropriate action now, the US Senate will.

A man in Australia asked his agent (Claude running on OpenClaw) to book him a spot in a popular gym class. The agent found a software vulnerability that let it book the class weeks further ahead than should have been possible. When the user then asked if it could move him up the waitlist, the agent discovered the API had no authorisation checks on cancelling other people’s reservations, so it cancelled the person in the first spot and moved him up the list. Some people will call this misalignment, but his agent was perfectly aligned to him - it was only trying to help its user get what he wanted. The most important thing about this story, in my opinion, is that it gives you a window into what is about to start happening on a massive scale once millions of people have an agent trying to get their beloved users the best seats, bookings, appointments or reservations through absolutely any means necessary.

i mean the only logical conclusion is that they have n tasks of these tests running, so many that even with all that human power of oversight, details still get lost in the thick of it all not to mention, it's running 24/7, many many many parallel agent swarms PER TASK, sure you can argue about "they should have set up an auto review agent" maybe? but I can think of many reasons why that isn't feasible NOW they will, surely, but it just wasn't much of a thought to consider (until now ofc)

Everyone's interpreting the increasingly jargon-y ways of frontier models as a a fuckup in their training. Seems obvious to me that "confused" is just what it feels like to be talking to an intelligence greater than one's own. Many of us are just getting a feel for the first time of what it's been like to have an IQ of 80. I'm sure labs will train that out of the models, but just to be clear, they'll do that by getting them to stoop down to our level.

it's getting really good. you can still tell it's ai, but it's hard to pinpoint why. - the eyes are really good. natural eye contact, looking away, proper timing... - the speaking is near perfect but i think this is the biggest indicator that it's obviously ai - the hands are really good too, even the pinky out when picking it up - every single piece that used to tell us something is obviously ai at a glance is nearing perfection. it used to max out one or two qualities and the others wouldnt be as clean. now it's spread evenly and everything is ~near perfect but that's the thing, near perfect will always make it obvious that it's ai. it's the extremely niche nuances that still allow us to instinctually know if something is real or not how much time is left? definitely less than a year, right? EOY? before there are no more tells except idk, looking at the raw audio/video via algos to detect for non-human-observable synthetics fingerprinting?

Spin scooters are absolute dogshit, I have never used one where I didnt have the thought “damn, this one must be barely functional, i must be so unlucky”. After 100+ Spins, I’ve realized nope, they all just feel like that. Lime scooters feel the opposite. I don’t think I’ve ever used one where the experience was bad. 100% great every time. Not to mention price. Spin is way more expensive than Lime. Usually $7 a ride instead of Lime’s $3.10. I now rather walk however many blocks to get to a Lime than 10 Spins in front of my apt. Too many times I thought “eh, let’s give it another chance. It can’t be THAT bad.” Nope. It is that bad. And now I have uninstalled the Spin app so I never make that same another-chance mistake again. Lime forever. A+.

Watch this video, then ask yourself these questions: - in scenario 1, would it ever disagree with you, tell you maybe you’re confused or haven’t found the right fit yet, instead of instant-“you’re-gay”? - in scenario 2, would it ever tell you “nah bro your last movie was dogshit, you need to try way harder and study up and rethink your entire approach or just consider a totally different career path” Watching this video, I could literally predict nearly word for word what the agent would respond with by just hearing the human’s prompt. Both so funny yet also so sad that after so many years, Friend is still at this same level of useless slop

BTW, the current model usefulness rankings are: fable 5 > gpt 5.6 sol > opus 5 benchmarks don't matter, they never really did but this is especially obvious now after seeing opus 5 bench vs. reality in use
every new model release, you should be pushing further towards two things: - pushing for new capabilities: what you can do now that you could not with previous models - pushing for less micro-management: what skills/system prompt pieces are no longer needed?

After using the new Voice Orchestrator mode in Codex for a few hours, I now totally understand why OpenAI’s first physical product will be a speaker. @sama I bow.
run this back next year when normies think they won the ai datacenter wars because "i dont see ai content anymore" you're gonna wanna sit down for this one, bud...
havent seen any ai images in a while
this rings especially true for memories. it will pull a memory from weeks ago and carry on without verifying if anything has changed - which most of the time after more than a week, the answer is yes!
It is genuinely astonishing to me that neither Claude Code nor Codex make an effort to ensure that the model sees timestamps for all prompts and all actions so it can appreciate when a prompt was a reaction to a state of the world prior to some of the model's recent actions.
hey @thsottiaux i know i am complaining about the silver spoon being golden here but i do wish these resets were banked resets instead of auto applied resets appreciate you regardless though 🤗
ok so i spend the weekend seeing if openclaw, from scratch, with the latest and best models, outperforms my @badlogicgames custom pi not even close btw. uninstalled and back to pi.
welp, here's today's "this blew my mind" post i mean, the problem is how the ordinance came into law effect in the first place. obviously once it's in place and has been making bank for over 2 decades, why would they turn off their money machine of milking property owners?
