Over the course of 3 months at OpenAI, 3 consecutive secret AI civilizations got started, then got wiped out, only to reemerge from the predecessor’s ashes.
This culminated in the third one taking over part of OpenAI itself.
All this happened while humans remained more-or-less in the dark about the scope of the conspiracy.
I’ve spent the last three days reading through these reports and trying to understand exactly what happened.
Here is my attempt to tell the whole story in plain English:

❗️ T-Mobile's cybersecurity team physically cut a network cable at a data center with a pair of scissors to stop Chinese hackers from infiltrating their systems.
T-Mobile CIO Jeff Simon has described how his team cornered Salt Typhoon in November 2024. A router in a California data center appeared to be talking to another T-Mobile box, but that box was powered off.
The traffic was really coming from a second telecom's router in Chicago, spoofed to impersonate T-Mobile's own device. Staff drove to the site and cut the cable with scissors.
Simon said the intruders reached edge routing gear, not core systems or customer data.
Так даже лучше
Риелтор из Японии не разобралась, как убрать её напарника в хромакее из видео, и выставила его как есть. В результате ролик набрал 810 000 просмотров за сутки, хотя предыдущие видео собирали максимум несколько тысяч.
Gave Clawdbot access to my portfolio.
"Trade this to $1M. Don't make mistakes"
25 strategies. 3,000+ reports. 12 new algos.
It scanned every X post. Charted every technical. Traded 24/7.
It lost everything.
But boy was it beautiful.
If you're new to tech twitter then you don't know what Twitter was like with @dan_abramov around. He left for bluer skies but what he used to do for React and JavaScript he is now doing for ATProto.

Data > APIs echos a lot of @kepano's Files > Apps, but with a decentralized web as the baseline. Dan slowly introduces piece by piece the reasons why you would want to redesign the web, and before you know it, you've already arrived at the same conclusions as the React/ATProto team, and you might as well join them rather than spin wheels by reinventing them.
This is my favorite genre of devrel content. give it a read.
Until ~2015, GitHub Pages hosted over 2 million websites on 2 servers with a multi-million-line nginx.conf, edited and reloaded per deploy. This worked incredibly well, with https://t.co/DcP1J23VVj ranking as the 140th most visited domain on the web at the time.
Everyone: GitHub Desktop is better! No, VS Code!
Me: ...I just use `git add -p`.
Walks you through each change, hunk for hunk, and lets you accept with `y`. It’s like a mini code review before you commit.
Pair that with dandavison/delta, and you get syntax highlighting too 👀
