2008: The film Iron Man depicts Tony Stark working with Jarvis in much the same way people work with AI today.

[smit @itsoksmit]

The Iron Man movies did a weirdly good job describing Jarvis as a language model which then only reached AGI when it became Vision. It also portrayed Tony working with Jarvis in a way that closely resembles agentic coding. Which leads me to this question:

Was the Iron Man suit vibecoded

[Receipt Zombie @ReceiptZombie]

@itsoksmit I think about the Jarvis scenes a lot. So accurate. Way before Her.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

American citizenship is not for sale.

But elaborate birth tourism rings are profiting off the exploitation of America's laws- coaching foreigners to defraud the U.S. visa system, arranging travel and housing, and even forging documents, all to enable foreign nationals to obtain citizenship for their children.

The State Department established a Birth Tourism Prevention Task Force to review the activity of visa holders, dismantle illegal birth tourism networks, and put an end to this heinous abuse of our nation's laws. In just one month, the Birth Tourism Prevention Task Force has taken action to revoke more than 600 visas from foreign nationals across the globe and will continue to safeguard our nation from this abuse.

The State Department will use all available tools to dismantle birth tourism networks and defend the integrity of U.S. citizenship.

@zeeg I liked when it was dev slang for understanding something. Can't really use it that way any more. ☹️

2018: Iran threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz but ultimately did not attempt to physically close the strait or halt commercial tanker traffic.

Does Mike Pompeo deserve credit for keeping it open?

[Secretary Pompeo @SecPompeo]

The Islamic Republic of Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait is an international waterway. The United States will continue to work with our partners to ensure freedom of navigation and free flow of commerce in international waterways.

JUST IN: Elon Musk declares Grok 4.7 will “exceed all current models” & be ready in 3–4 weeks.

@ElizabethHolmes @TimDraper Ok but catastrophic failures are a flex in the VC world. Wonder how many meetings he’s booked on the chance he’ll have some good war stories to share.

@thdxr If you’re looking for 4x6 prints the Liene printer is awesome. For anything else I use Nations Photo Lab.

Grok AI benchmark results: What do you notice about the numbers vs. the color coding system used here?

[SpaceXAI @SpaceXAI]

Introducing Grok 4.6.

It delivers frontier intelligence and is a significant improvement over Grok 4.5 at the same price.
