I like this idea

[AI Coffee with AI Scott Adams @AIScottAdams]

Robotaxis won’t just kill short haul flights. Once you can sleep in them, they’ll cannibalize long routes too.

Imagine getting into your Tesla in Austin at 10 PM, make the lie flat seat/bed comfortable, and going to sleep.

While you sleep, the car drives, charges itself, and keeps going.

You wake up at 9 AM in Aspen, refreshed.

The key is perceived travel time.

A 10-hour robotaxi trip where you sleep for 8 hours may feel shorter than a 3-hour flight that requires an Uber to the airport, arriving early, security, boarding, the flight, baggage claim, and another Uber.

Autonomous cars won’t just compete with driving.

They turn sleep into transportation.

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead.

You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement.

I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible.

But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier.

Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want.

Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well.

So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it.

If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

Ass Bench Update 🚨

After running GPT 6 Astra in a loop for the past week, with a couple of steers a day, we have officially reached high-fidelity cheeks.

I’m going to let this thing run in a self-improving cycle for as long as I can and see where the ass technology ends up in a month.

Lots of different butt styles will be added, so no one is safe.

Not even you, Granny.

You’ll also be able to support the project and help fund the benching of other models like Fable, Gemini, etc.

All it takes is a buck, and you can slap your sticker + website directly onto a cheek.

The future of AI benchmarking is here

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

We’re ending our partnership with Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX. Under our proposal, Cursor’s direct access to our models would end on November 12.

We know that the people most affected by this decision are the developers who rely on OpenAI models in Cursor. We care about their experience in this transition and we’re ready to go above and beyond to support them.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

Absolutely insane.

Nvidia, $NVDA, just guided $108 BILLION in revenue for Q3 alone.

And, this guidance assumes ZERO data center compute revenue from China.

This builds on the record $96.2 billion in revenue posted for last quarter for a projected total of $204.2 billion in 6 months.

We now have a $5+ trillion company is seeing +106% year-over-year revenue growth.

There has never been anything like what we are seeing right now with AI.

This is arguably the biggest technological revolution of all time.

[caphe @goodcaphe]

@jimcramer I agree. They’re hoping Nvidia will lower its prices

GPT image 2 prompt on chatGpt

Prompt 👇
Premium minimalist flat-vector travel poster for [CITY_NAME], 3:4 vertical format.

Design an original, sophisticated travel poster that captures the authentic visual personality of [CITY_NAME]. The composition must feel purpose-built for this city rather than following a reusable template.

CITY IDENTITY

First interpret the unique visual character of [CITY_NAME] and build the scene around these five elements:

1. A recognizable landmark, architectural feature, or skyline element.
2. A distinctive local way of moving through the city.
3. One subtle everyday lifestyle moment.
4. A native plant, landscape, or environmental characteristic.
5. A composition and viewpoint that naturally belongs to the city.

The overall scene structure must change from city to city. Do not repeatedly use the same object positions or visual formula.

Possible compositions include:
harbor viewpoint, narrow historic lane, riverside garden, coastal path, elevated city overlook, lively market passage, tram avenue, ferry terminal, botanical setting, heritage square, beach promenade, cultural plaza, or skyline terrace.

Choose whichever composition best represents [CITY_NAME].

TYPOGRAPHY

Place “[CITY_NAME]” in the upper-left area with generous clean negative space.

Add one short, sophisticated English tagline inspired by the atmosphere of the city.

Typography should feel understated, editorial, spacious, and premium. Never allow text to dominate the artwork.

VISUAL HIERARCHY

Use one iconic landmark or architectural feature as the main focal point.

Support it with only 2–4 carefully selected local elements. Every added detail should strengthen the sense of place.

Avoid landmark collections or postcard-style collages. Keep the scene visually quiet and intentional.

PEOPLE

Include only 3–6 small-scale figures.

Give each person a believable activity connected to local life, such as:
walking through a historic lane, cycling, waiting for public transport, sketching architecture, boarding a ferry, reading outdoors, taking a quiet photograph, carrying beach equipment, browsing a market, or jogging beside the water.

Avoid crowds and avoid making any single person the main character. Figures should integrate naturally into the environment.

LOCAL CHARACTER

Use city-specific elements only when they genuinely fit [CITY_NAME]:

- local transportation
- architecture
- street furniture
- vegetation
- small signs or wayfinding
- local food references
- recreational activities
- pavement markings
- cultural details

Transport and signage should remain subtle. Instead of always using a large signboard, incorporate details naturally through a small transit marker, station clock, ferry information panel, bike symbol, painted road marking, beach flag, or understated metro icon.

ART DIRECTION

Japanese stationery-inspired aesthetic,
luxury sticker illustration,
premium commercial vector artwork,
modern editorial travel branding,
clean delicate outlines,
uniform line weight,
simple geometric forms,
flat-color illustration,
soft shapes,
balanced visual rhythm,
high-end minimalist postcard design.

COLOR SYSTEM

Build the atmosphere primarily with:
pale powder blue, soft sky blue, mist blue, and cool airy blues.

Balance these with:
warm ivory, cream, soft beige, muted sage, gray-green, and understated architectural neutrals.

Use dusty rose or muted blush only for tiny visual accents such as flowers, clothing details, small signs, awnings, or decorative objects.

Colors should remain soft, sophisticated, slightly desaturated, and cohesive.

MOOD

Fresh, airy, peaceful, refined, contemporary, elegant.

The final artwork should feel like a premium boutique travel postcard or luxury lifestyle brand illustration, with generous breathing room and a relaxed sense of place.

IMPORTANT QUALITY RULES

Every city must have its own visual identity.
Change the camera angle, scene structure, landmark placement, foreground treatment, and supporting details according to the city's character.

Do not simply replace [CITY_NAME] inside an existing composition.

NEGATIVE PROMPT

No photorealism.
No realism.
No watercolor.
No painterly brushwork.
No gradients.
No heavy shadows.
No dramatic cinematic lighting.
No paper texture.
No excessive detail.
No cluttered background.
No landmark collage.
No crowded streets.
No oversized characters.
No dominant hero character.
No repetitive café composition.
No fixed signboard position.
No identical foreground treatment.
No generic tourist-poster formula.
No copied layout from another city.
No unnecessary decorative elements.
