Hypothesis: the degree to which you dislike GPT-5 is proportional to how strongly you unknowingly appreciated 4o’s sycophancy.

@ESYudkowsky Everyone working in tech or political should read this. Thank you for your persistence.

@karpathy Yes! It's awful :/ I have notifications turned off completely for the Phone app and my voicemail says "I don't answer calls, text me". Very open to any more elegant solutions however.

@ScottAdamsSays @ScottAdamsSays lmk if we can build something for you. I'd even barter an AI app for an authentic Dilbert comic that references myself/company

Roadtripping the last week and have decided to start leaving a 2-star review for every gas station that doesn’t offer tap-to-pay, because WTF are you still doing in 2025? Your gas station should not be allowed on Google Maps.

Has anyone else noticed the Ballmer Peak shifting since AI assisted coding? 🫠

🍺 @cursor_ai should add a feature that plots your estimated BAC over time by analyzing the languaging of your prompts.

I just asked it to “pleeeeeaaase” fix something. That only happens 2-4 beers in.

5+ it’s “you f*ckn worthless idiot fix this sh*t” 😂

I wish @Waymo could remember the position of the passenger seat and set it automatically before I open the door

[Austin Wood @AustinKWood]

@elonmusk @robotaxi How about the position of the passenger seat? After several months @Waymo still has not replied to my request for that feature…

At least 90% of music worth listening to was written before I was born.

@vasuman The true indication of a good refactor is not how many lines of code it adds, but how many it removes

And also that it works 😅

It’s been {t} hours since {company} dropped {product} and people can’t stop creating insane {demo} with it {threadEmoji}

@ScottAdamsSays Wishing you the best, Scott. Thank you for everything. From the Dilbert comics I read as a kid, then the TV show me and my best friend watched in high school, your books, your tweets, sharing your opinion even when it’s not popular. The world is better off because of you 🙏

@bryan_johnson Who did this to me?

[Austin Wood @AustinKWood]

@tynan That is a great idea. I imagine there’s some legal considerations with any gambling-esque features? @FractalLabs_dev can handle the dev if you want to tackle the compliance and marketing? Let’s build it!

@Waymo This is my 20th ride. I love @Waymo. And every time I can’t help but see so much unrealized UX potential!

I wish @Waymo could remember the position of the passenger seat and set it automatically before I open the door

[Austin Wood @AustinKWood]

@Waymo Also remember my temperature preference. This seems much easier to implement than zest position. I can set the preference of my temperature units, but not the actual temperature 🤔

@paulg @sama @paulg perhaps @sama is still "do[ing] things that don't scale"
