Die KI-generierten Filme von Open AI sind besser als die der Konkurrenz – doch die Sicherheitsschranken der Firma taugen nicht.

Smart person texts me: “Joe Biden has just removed the issue of pardons from the political arena for the next four years and Trump probably once again can’t believe his own dumb fucking luck at this point”

Sadly, I think he’s right.

.@JaneMayerNYer reports on a previously undisclosed whistle-blower report on Pete Hegseth’s tenure as the president of a veteran advocacy group, which indicates that Hegseth misused funds, harassed women, and was repeatedly intoxicated on the job. https://t.co/gZfl08bBVg

Best AI experience in a while: asked Claude to build a video-summarizing tool I've always wanted (convert video to mp3, use Whisper to transcribe, use Llama to summarize the transcript) and it did it immediately. 20 minutes, brain to working app. Didn't write a line of code.

Why not cut out the middlewoman and just name Putin as director of national intelligence?

What’s next for American institutions? For the electorate? The Democratic Party? Part 2 of my conversation today w/ @ezraklein & @davidfrum:

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

Elon Musk "has been seen at Mar-a-Lago nearly every single day since Donald Trump won, dining with him on the patio at times" and "weighing in on staffing decisions, making clear his preference for certain roles," @kaitlancollins reports

[David Frum @davidfrum]

In 2019, Trump tried to blackmail Ukraine's Zelenskyy to produce dirt on the Biden family.

Zelenskyy courageously refused.

Trump was rightly impeached for this abuse of office.

Trump's actions now are motivated by revenge for past defiance. There's no grand "strategy."

Very interesting article about OpenAI's recent metamorphosis and new modus operandi, which prompted many co-founders, execs, and research-oriented folks to leave.

Morphing a non-profit open research outfit into a secretive, product-focused for-profit company is bound to cause many people to bail out.

"Almost from the start, Harris was in control. She had better moments and worse ones, but she was human when Trump was feral."
