Excited to announce here at the @parispeaceforum.bsky.social that, after months of joint technical work together, OpenAI will open source through ROOST one of its main internal models that handles detection and moderation. This will allow anyone or any company to use, test, and study the model.

I've heard a couple times people bringing up that the ACA subsidies were set to expire, but I haven't heard the rebuttal that the tax breaks for the billionaires were set to expire, but that was made permanent.
HUNT: Dems have argued that the norms of our govt should be that you negotiate policy outside of a shutdown
GALLEGO: You're talking about norms in a time of Donald Trump?
H: But Ds have spent so much time arguing that maintaining norms is incredibly important
G: It's all out the window, Kasie. No

I know I'll probably get roasted, but objectively this sounds like a great idea.
I think if the server could transmit the prompt to render the characters/objects/transitions, and the client could do the rendering, it would lower the bandwidth required and reduce latency.

The mass shootings this weekend that filled the headlines were military veterans that believed that violence was the answer.
Hegseth: "As history teaches us, the only people who actually deserve peace and those who are willing to wage war to defend it. That's why pacifism is so naive and dangerous."
