@365Daytonafan @harrym_vids @YouTube You get used to it quickly. It's a very small car, so is easy to place on the road. Great noise, looks amazing, constant power, and an analogue reminder in an automated world. I even like the gear knob...

I'll share the videos here. Absolutely insane.

Prompt: This close-up shot of a Victoria crowned pigeon showcases its striking blue plumage and red chest. Its crest is made of delicate, lacy feathers, while its eye is a striking red color. The bird’s head is tilted slightly to the side, giving the impression of it looking regal and majestic. The background is blurred, drawing attention to the bird’s striking appearance.

@nick_burton All about that compression

@nick_burton Fancy a JPEG for Christmas, Nick? ;-)

Had a quick look and the Bored Ape collection is waaaay down on the peak, but somehow still seems to be trading for 60K USD if I'm reading it right. Bananas...

Record for shortest interim-ceo tenure?

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo.

We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.

[Satya Nadella @satyanadella]

We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners. We look forward to getting to know Emmett Shear and OAI's new leadership team and working with them. And we’re extremely excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, together with colleagues, will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team. We look forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success.

#googlecloud and #azure results were out last night, via their parent companies. Decent for both, with Google deceleration causing a share price blip (doubtless briefly!)
