question: @mtbarra @GM @OnStar - why do you make it SO hard to give you money? Your services are drastically under baseline and changing a credit card on an account is frustrating and time consuming.

@AOC Before party, before ideology, before politicians—our duty is to the Constitution. Are we living up to that? True conservatives defend the Constitution. If we stay silent while it’s dismantled, what are we conserving?

Announcing The Stargate Project

The Stargate Project is a new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately. This infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world. This project will not only support the re-industrialization of the United States but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies.

The initial equity funders in Stargate are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead partners for Stargate, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility. Masayoshi Son will be the chairman.

Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI are the key initial technology partners. The buildout is currently underway, starting in Texas, and we are evaluating potential sites across the country for more campuses as we finalize definitive agreements.

As part of Stargate, Oracle, NVIDIA, and OpenAI will closely collaborate to build and operate this computing system. This builds on a deep collaboration between OpenAI and NVIDIA going back to 2016 and a newer partnership between OpenAI and Oracle.

This also builds on the existing OpenAI partnership with Microsoft. OpenAI will continue to increase its consumption of Azure as OpenAI continues its work with Microsoft with this additional compute to train leading models and deliver great products and services.

All of us look forward to continuing to build and develop AI—and in particular AGI—for the benefit of all of humanity. We believe that this new step is critical on the path, and will enable creative people to figure out how to use AI to elevate humanity.

Board Certified Surgeon in Austin, Texas is whistleblower on US Health Insurance Companies

She was just PULLED OUT OF SURGERY
while her patient was asleep and forced to speak with UnitedHealthcare who tries to cancel patients inpatient stay after surgery who has CANCER

“It's 2025 and insurance just keeps getting worse”

“I've never had this happen before. But during the second deep, I had a phone call into the operating room saying that UnitedHealthcare wanted me to call them about one of the patients who was having surgery”

“So I scrubbed outta my case and I called UnitedHealthcare and the gentleman said he needed some information about her, wanna know her diagnosis and whether whether her inpatient stay should be justified. — I was like, do you understand that she's asleep right now and she has breast cancer?”

“It's out of control. It insurance is out of control. I have no other words.”

In 2025, we are heading back to the law of the jungle.

A world where the strongest do what they can, while the weakest are condemned to suffer what they must.

Here are the Top 10 risks 🧵⤵️

You can do it for books of hundreds of pages thanks to the massive context window and with a single prompt.

Perfect for those who memorize better visually (demo and prompt below):

[swyx @swyx]

Veo 2 vs Sora comparison. apparently 58% win rate vs Sora turbo

prompt: "the camera moves in a slow dolly shot, revealing the opulence of a Renaissance palace chamber adorned with gold-inlaid furniture, velvet drapes, and chandeliers casting soft, flickering light. A queen sits motionless at a gilded desk, her crimson silk gown cascading onto the floor like spilled blood. On the desk lies an unsigned letter, its edges curled with age. The camera frames her from behind, catching the reflection of her stoic face in a massive, ornate mirror. In the background, courtiers murmur, their silhouettes dancing like ghosts in the candlelight. The room feels heavy, every gilded detail amplifying an air of betrayal and paranoia. The color palette alternates between deep, regal reds and cold golds, with chiaroscuro lighting intensifying the drama. Shot on 70mm film for rich texture, evoking the grandeur of historical masterpieces."

What radicalized me against the US healthcare system?

My father is a roofer. He was asked him to inspect a roof another roofer did.

From the ground, my dad knew it was shoddy work, but he was asked to go up anyway.

He did. A shingle slipped. He fell. He shattered his legs.

Sora v2 release is impending:

* 1-minute video outputs
* text-to-video
* text+image-to-video
* text+video-to-video

OpenAI's Chad Nelson showed this at the C21Media Keynote in London. And he said we will see it very very soon, as @sama has foreshadowed.

For the first time the FTC has banned a data broker from collecting consumer data from online advertising auctions for purposes other than participating in those auctions. 1/2

I did nuclear security for a few years after I got out of the Marines.

Because we were armed with unfettered access to nuclear reactors, and were given special knowledge on nuclear vulnerabilities, that job required a Q clearance (Top Secret equivalent).

It was not optional 🧵

1. There’s an argument I want to discuss. It goes something like this: Donald Trump’s policies are going to alienate some of the people who voted for him.
