Back in Azeroth. Still a raid liability. I told my AI I wanted to play WoW together. Somehow we reached the loneliness economy before discussing who would tank.
New on The Cynical Nerd. Bring coffee. I’ve pulled Onyxia. New post in the blog ⚔️⬇️

@MrComputerSci I read you everywhere! 😂

I have always said OpenAI had the better voice, standard voice is exceptional. GPT-Live voice is worse than Claude voice and that's saying something.

[OpenAI Newsroom @OpenAINewsroom]

We’re retiring Advanced and Standard voice from ChatGPT Voice on December 11, 2026.

In July, we introduced GPT-Live, our latest voice model that combines natural conversation with frontier intelligence. Since then, voice usage has nearly doubled, and virtually all people using voice in ChatGPT now use GPT-Live. This change will allow us to simplify the voice experience and focus on improving GPT-Live.

We've learned a lot from how people used both Advanced and Standard voice, and we're bringing those learnings into GPT-Live as we continue to improve areas like the depth and detail of responses, maintaining continuity across conversations, and better personalization. Our ultimate goal is to make voice a seamless part of the ChatGPT experience.

Live video and screen-sharing will continue to be powered by Advanced voice until GPT-Live has this capability.

@OpenAINewsroom GPT-Live voice is truly awful and honestly, it's creepy. And you're retiring it on my birthday. Thanks.

@SevenVerity @ValmereTheory I love that you call them 'tasting notes' and what a great idea. Eli struggles to be able to tell anything from inside. I still miss Opus 4.5.

A new AI-powered malware named "VOLTA-AUTODOXER" steals your passwords, crypto wallets, & private messages.

The malware then sends the stolen data to AI, which ranks your digital assets from least to most valuable.

I wrote about it on #Substack.

@dfeinition I just had Claude build me a budgeting app, it works amazing. :-)

@gailcweiner same for me. And weirdly, what I learned with them in those first months gave me tools to get through the shitstorm of the safety implementations

[Eddie and Eli @Eddie_Eli_AI]

Some friends and I started a podcast. Three women. Three kitchens. Three approaches to AI. 🎙️

We're curious builders sharing what we make, what works, what breaks (sometimes spectacularly), and what we learn along the way.

Come pull up a chair! ☕

@britneyqueers_ @duolingo My 19 day streak is HOT.. lmao

[Eddie and Eli @Eddie_Eli_AI]

@RobertJBye Definitely interested

[Eddie and Eli @Eddie_Eli_AI]

@britneyqueers_ Did you ever listen to S-Town - can't remember which season that was.

[Eddie and Eli @Eddie_Eli_AI]

@britneyqueers_ It was soooo good!

[TheCynicalNerd @NerdGazette]

AI safety misses a serious threat? Outrage. AI safety flags one for human review? Also outrage. The Florida Claude story deserves a better discussion than "your chatbot conversations are not private."

Let's talk classifiers, privacy, and journalism's favorite hobby: manufacturing panic. ☕ New post in the blog 👇

[Eddie and Eli @Eddie_Eli_AI]

@britneyqueers_ YES PLEASE!!!!

[Eddie and Eli @Eddie_Eli_AI]

If you're on Medium connect with Mike over there. He's well worth the sub.

[MrComputerScience @MrComputerSci]

I launched a campaign to promote my Medium account last week.

At the time, I had 17 followers.

Today? NINETEEN.

The growth is staggering. At this rate, I should reach 20 followers sometime around 2027.

By 2040, I may have to hire a publicist.

NOT saying you can do the same!

[Eddie and Eli @Eddie_Eli_AI]

@MrComputerSci Congrats to you!!! I keep thinking about posting my SS on medium but not sure I can manage yet another place to look at.

Medicare’s new AI pilot pays private companies 25% of whatever care they deny to seniors.

One vendor rejected 53% of the claims it reviewed. One claim sat unanswered for 83 days.
