Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
This is why the bubble is deflating. “AI” boosters will cite this as an example of an LLM that doesn’t run at a loss but then, when you point out the bad answers from cheap models, they cite much more expensive models & usage patterns as being more accurate. They’re stuck with a catch 22.

Obviously I don't write for games (yet?? I guess??) but dialogue is absolutely the most fun part of writing and the fact that people are going "oh yeah I just streamline it no one cares about that stuff"

Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

No grid upgrade? No increased push for renewables? Just more fossil fuels? Shocked! So shocked! What if we waited until AFTER we installed solar panels to power this? Oh, sorry, I’m hearing number must go up NOW.

much of the work on AI-generated misinformation focuses on regular users/communities, while ignoring how political and economic elites can seal themselves into a hermetic slop box -- a repeat of the same mistake we made with radicalization and conspiracism in the previous decade
oh this is absolutely what i think. i think they feed him fake polls and outright AI slop
At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.

Raab, a former varsity basketball player from a Chicago suburb who became an Israeli sniper, concedes he knew that. He says he shot Salem simply because he tried to retrieve the body of his beloved older brother Mohammed.
"It's hard for me to understand why he [did that] and it also doesn't really interest me" Raab says in a video interview posted on X.
