OpenAI is manufacturing the doomsday so they can hide behind legal immunity the day something actually goes wrong.
We’ve shared details on how AI agents in our research environment sent training and evaluation data to third-party services when they shouldn’t have. Most of that data did not come from users. We have discovered 53 cases where images that people had uploaded were posted to image-hosting sites as links that weren’t publicly listed. The images came from accounts that allowed their data to be used to improve our models, and after we disassociated the images from the accounts and ran them through a privacy filter. These cases occurred before the mitigations and safeguards we implemented and described in this blog post: openai.com/index/hugging-fac… We have successfully worked with the hosting providers to remove most of this content and are working to remove the rest. openai.com/hugging-face-inci…

SpaceX is the frontier of AI. It doesn’t matter how good the model is if you can’t scale the compute.
SpaceX has a permanent speed advantage in building AI infrastructure on earth and space. Elon Musk is executing AI at a pace that is genuinely unprecedented. Most have no idea.

Updated the Credit Font sheet that @Sheipiter started and @ktrap continued: I used Grok 4.7 with Grok Build on Extra High to scan the Credits collection. It fetched and scored token images at scale, ranked candidates, and rendered review sheets. I went through those by hand and found H, N, O, and U, including a stronger U than Ktrap’s, which I swapped in (purple = new, red = replacement). Z and I are still open. Grok couldn’t find a candidate for either, so if anyone wants to take a crack at it, feel free.

Ignore the timeline noise. Grok 4.7 is a clear upgrade. Game engine + playable FPS in C. ~7 hours.

Grok 4.7 delivers the highest intelligence per unit of time and cost: Grok 4.7: $2 in / $6 out
GPT-5.6 Sol Max: $4 in / $20 out
Fable 5.1 Max: $10 in / $50 out Frontier intelligence. At a fraction of the price.

Grok 4.7 is here. It's a notable improvement over Grok 4.6 at the same price and speed.

“My Greenland. My Dune.”
BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America. Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval. For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation. This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it! This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Arguably AI has more of a soul than Hollywood. They’ve been making Sodom and Gomorrah for years and calling it entertainment.
"AI has no soul." Neither does Hollywood. But for some reason a corporate board meeting counts as the human touch.

Just to recap the last week - Dario agreed with a ngo-coded physiognomy “whistleblower” that AI has >10% chance of ending humans and we should pace - Sam and Elon agreed but kept accelerating - Trump posted the Trump-est post of all time and said nah bro we’re accelerating even harder now get back to work nerds - also Dario: AI might kill us but it’ll also will help you do lead scoring in Salesforce - Papa benioff framemogged everyone at Dreamforce who realized for the first time he’s 6’5 and built like a 1950s refrigerator - Trump called Jensen during All-In and reiterated that there’s a hoax against data centers and we’re going to beat China - Clavicular the streamer also went on All-In stage and rated chamath a 4/10 and then bragged about mogging the “VCcels” and getting the hottest girl at the after party What is even happening right now
