X is finally addressing one of its biggest problems: who actually deserves to get paid.

For a long time, the system rewarded whoever got the most attention, not necessarily the person who created the content. That’s why you saw accounts growing fast by reposting, summarizing, or reacting to things that were already going viral.

Now X is experimenting with something important:
👉 paying the original creator, not just the distributor
Think of it like this:
If someone spends hours writing an article, investigating a story, or producing a high-quality video… and another account reposts it and gets more views, who should earn the money?

Until now, it was often the second one.
This update tries to fix that by:

identifying original authors

allocating part of the revenue to them

shifting incentives toward creation, not just amplification
Reposts and commentary will always matter; they’re part of what makes X powerful, but the platform is clearly moving toward rewarding effort, originality, and real value.
It’s not perfect yet, and the system will evolve, but this is a big signal:

👉 X doesn’t just want viral content anymore
👉 It wants valuable content

The video shows someone cracking a 15-bit toy key, which is like guessing a 2-digit PIN and then claiming you can break every bank vault. Real Bitcoin doesn’t work like that. Bitcoin uses 256-bit private keys (via elliptic curve cryptography, secp256k1), which means an astronomically large number of possibilities, far beyond what today’s computers, including current quantum machines, can brute-force. Quantum computing could pose a risk in the future (through algorithms like Shor’s that target public-key cryptography), but we’re not there yet: it would require millions of stable qubits and error correction that simply doesn’t exist today.

@OpenAI the world from 01/01/2026:

[Benny @hemzadev]

So it turns out Claude Code wasn't just 'feeling off', there were actually 3 separate regressions (bugs) running at the same time:

→ It was thinking less by default (reasoning effort quietly downgraded)
→ It was forgetting its own decisions mid-session (caching bug wiped reasoning history)
→ It was being forced to stay under 25 words between tool calls (verbosity prompt tanked code quality)

All overlapping. All hard to pin down. Now all fixed as of v2.1.116.

Usage limits are being reset today. Full post-mortem here:
https://t.co/KDDJi4lOfs

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

Over the past month, some of you reported Claude Code's quality had slipped. We investigated, and published a post-mortem on the three issues we found.

All are fixed in v2.1.116+ and we’ve reset usage limits for all subscribers.

[Benny @hemzadev]

@dhruvalgolakiya I built some dashboards for you (pissing off designers)

[Benny @hemzadev]

@stitchbygoogle Another reason why we love you @Google @_davideast, solving the real problems we actually face. DESIGN.md is going to save us so many hours of "guessing the hex code." Amazing release!

https://t.co/LP362cBONH

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Introducing ChatGPT Images 2.0

A state-of-the-art image model that can take on complex visual tasks and produce precise, immediately usable visuals, with sharper editing, richer layouts, and thinking-level intelligence.

I’ve been testing the new ChatGPT 2.0 image model and honestly… it feels a bit scary.

The biggest difference is not just “better quality”, it’s consistency.
On the first try, the model already keeps shapes clean, text readable, and details intact. No more weird distortions, no melting objects, no random artifacts that ruin the whole image.
Before, you had to generate 10–15 versions just to get something usable.
Now, you can actually get a solid result almost immediately.

Where this really hits is in product mockups and design exploration.
You can quickly test ideas, visualize concepts, and iterate without losing time fighting the model.
It’s not perfect, but it crossed a line.
This is starting to feel like a real tool in a design workflow, not just something you play with.

Definitely worth trying if you’re into UI, branding, or product design.
