I just joined the @quitgpt boycott. OpenAI's president was the biggest donor in Trump's Super PAC's year-end report. It's time to quit. Join us: quitgpt.org // #QuitGPT
Minneapolis-area prosecutors are investigating disgraced Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced today.
User Chris: What was the core difference why you think the DoW accepted OpenAI but not Anthropic Sam Altman: I can't speak for them, but to speculate with the best understanding of the situation. *First, I saw reporting that they were extremely close on a deal, and for much of the time both sides really wanted to reach one. I have seen what happens in tense negotiations when things get stressed and deteriorate super fast, and I could believe that was a large part of what happened here. *We believe in a layered approach to safety--building a safety stack, deploying FDEs and having our safety and alignment researcher involved, deploying via cloud, working directly with the DoW. Anthropic seemed more focused on specific prohibitions in the contract, rather than citing applicable laws, which we felt comfortable with. We feel that it it's very important to build safe system, and although documents are also important, I'd clearly rather rely on technical safeguards if I only had to pick one. *We and the DoW got comfortable with the contractual language, but I can understand other people would have a different opinion here. *I think Anthropic may have wanted more operational control than we did
I saw some folks asking what the difference was between what OpenAI signed with the DoD and what Anthropic said they wanted, and Sam more or less admits here the key point: OpenAI's deal requires them to trust the NSA. Anthropic's contract had real safeguards.
Tech leaders are treating people like bloated packages to be flagged and removed. Wrote about what we lose when humans get uninstalled.

yup
"AI will replace 70% of design system work." Where'd that number come from? Vibes. And the argument ignores the biggest part of the job: support, maintenance, and the humans supporting humans. #designsystems

@anthropic.com thank you! Stand on principle.

Cmon @anthropic.com, seriously?
We're all asking ourselves: "What's wrong with him"
Holy shit a guy who was convicted of 32 felony counts of Fraud just declared a "War on Fraud"
Irony died on its way to the hospital

Trump: "I am officially announcing the war on fraud to be led by our great vice president, J.D. Vance"
trump going on about corruption and then slandering somali-americans makes my blood boil

I've been poking at how to actually make AI respect your design system. It turns out that a simple file might be able to help. #designsystems #aiSkills

I asked AI about me, and it had nothing. Its advice? Write more. So here I am. Inspired by @cassidoo.co

They said AI would handle the boring stuff so you could focus on interesting problems. Nobody mentioned you'd spend that time reviewing AI's output instead.

Letter: Donald Trump doesn't bother with dog whistles — he is blatantly and proudly expressing his deep and vile racism.
