@steipete Is this using the new GPT-Realtime-2 model? I can imagine how that works really well!! Working on something similar for Teams, the who-said-what part that you can get from these online meetings is gold!

What I’m worried about here is the typical knee-jerk overreaction. The LLM used in 2025 when this was drafted is not the same LLM of 2026 when this was discovered and will certainly not be the same LLM LM of 2027 when this goes live. Which means by the time the policy goes live, it addresses issues that are no longer relevant.

I've been a supporter of @Replit for some time, but the recent changes to their account structure, and the subsequent refusal of @ReplitSupport to do what was promised in their announcement is leaving me wondering.

In essence, their answer to my "I have 2 workspace subscriptions with Apps inside that i want to consolidate" is to recommend "Download the Application Code, Delete the App and upload it in the other Workspace".

O.K, thats pretty cumbersome. Your "You'll be able to consolidate or reorganize after the migration." turns out to be "Well sorry buddy, we've know we made some changes, but you have to deal with the consequences yourself."

What about my Production Database in the currently running workspace? Oh, well, tough luck on that one too. Amazing for a company that has already received some pretty bad press for how their platform handled production databases...

When all this can be solved in 3 mins and a couple of click from someone with the right access...

Do better....

@AnthropicAI and @claudeai
I cannot imagine this is not showing up on your internal metrics / dashboards? We're trying to onboard more staff but they get blocked by this issue.

What % of new signups are you losing to this?

@OpenAI launches their own browser called Atlas. (This time probably killing a few startups with this move). Let the games begin!

The real reason the Netflix cancellation campaign has gone so viral:

Netflix is sexualizing children by packaging explicit, graphic, radical sex topics as ‘children’s entertainment’

What Netflix is doing goes beyond a culture war fight. It’s immoral.

And It should be illegal…

@elonmusk The fact that it’s not available for purchase in South Africa…

@nikitabier This post here was you final interview step. Am I right?

@iannuttall I’d argue that is exactly what Google wants. A full copy of your entire codebase for training on. If it’s a non-serious side prohect or open source, awesome hack. If the was meant to be sensitive / confidential… Ooops..

🚀 @GoogleDeepMind and @Google just dropped Veo 3, and it’s mind-blowing!

In 2022, AI videos looked like nightmares or hallucinations. Now, they’re indistinguishable from professional content WITH sound. What’s next? Fully immersive virtual worlds by 2028?

@RayFrye15 @RodDMartin Just like USGS was repurposed to become DOGE without changing the rules. Genius!

What if the trade imbalances are a result of tax optimization by US companies?

Our biggest business expenses after salaries is our IT spend (Microsoft, AWS, etc) and the goods we purchase from OEMs like Cisco for resale.

Many of these invoices come from Ireland… Just saying…
