Pig's Tail, my genesis gen art project, comes from the idea that life moves in non-linear ways, looping back on itself in unpredictable fashion from time to time. [1/6] #genart

@jxnlco A way to sync the various codex desktop threads across devices. When a thread was started on the device at work, or a device at home, it can slow down development to not have those threads synced everywhere.

Large language models work by predicting the next word. One word at a time. No grand architecture. No deep understanding. Just probability.

And it works.

Tao: “Maybe that’s actually a lot of what humans do as well.”

The greatest living mathematician just told you human thought might run on the same machinery. Not some transcendent spark. Pattern recognition. Prediction. One thought, one decision, one word at a time.

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Terence Tao has an IQ above 200.

Youngest gold medalist in Math Olympiad history. Fields Medal winner. The greatest living mathematician by nearly any measure.

And he just said something most people aren’t ready for.

Tao: “This whole era of AI is teaching us that our idea of what intelligence is, is not really accurate.”

We spent centuries building civilization on one assumption.

That intelligence was sacred. Irreducible. Uniquely ours.

The one thing that made the entire human story make sense.

Then AI started solving things we swore only we could.

Chess. Language. Vision. Math.

And every time, we reached for the same defense.

That’s not real intelligence. It’s just tricks. Just pattern matching. Just an algorithm.

Tao: “You look at how it’s done and it doesn’t feel like intelligence.”

So we moved the line.

Again. And again. And again.

Because intelligence was supposed to feel like something. Something deep. Something we could point to and say… this is what separates us from everything else.

But AI kept solving the problems.

And that feeling never arrived.

Tao: “We were looking for some elusive, intelligent way of thinking and we don’t see it in the tools that actually solve our goals.”

Here’s what makes it worse.

Large language models work by predicting the next word. One word at a time. No grand architecture. No deep understanding. Just probability.

And it works.

Tao: “Maybe that’s actually a lot of what humans do as well.”

The greatest living mathematician just told you human thought might run on the same machinery.

Not some transcendent spark.

Pattern recognition. Prediction. One thought, one decision, one word at a time.

We built religion around intelligence. Philosophy around it. An entire species identity around it.

And a machine running probability just held up a mirror.

We didn’t lose intelligence to AI.

We just finally saw what it always was.

What haunts us isn’t that machines learned to think.

It’s that thinking was never what we needed it to be.

@Tesla_India Offer in Canada please 🙏

[Omri @omri]

@elonmusk Toronto please 🙏

[Fahd Ananta @fahdananta]

We really need this thing in Canada, it’s perfect, plz @elonmusk

The unit of software production has changed from team-years to founder-days.

Act accordingly.

[Omri @omri]

Switched from gpt-4-mini to 5.4-mini and it’s beautifully fast and smart. 👏👏👏

[OpenAI Developers @OpenAIDevs]

We’re introducing GPT-5.4 mini and nano, our most capable small models yet.

GPT-5.4 mini is more than 2x faster than GPT-5 mini. Optimized for coding, computer use, multimodal understanding, and subagents.

For lighter-weight tasks, GPT-5.4 nano is our smallest and cheapest version of GPT-5.4.

@thsottiaux Remote control

@thsottiaux Remote control

Codex needs this yesterday.

The number of hacky and inferior workarounds for keeping agents going on your desktop from your phone need to be put down.

[Noah Zweben @noahzweben]

Announcing a new Claude Code feature: Remote Control. It's rolling out now to Max users in research preview. Try it with /remote-control

Start local sessions from the terminal, then continue them from your phone. Take a walk, see the sun, walk your dog without losing your flow.

In 20 years, vibe coders will look at the Linux kernel repo the way we look at the pyramids. In awe, unable to imagine how they managed to drag all those giant stones and pile them up in the middle of the desert.

[Omri @omri]

Two hours alone with Spark and 🤯. Have built an app that would have taken months with scores of devs.

The world has changed. We are in the future.

The hardest part now is keeping all the threads going. There’s hardly any time to architect the next feature to build.

Please build a thread manager next. To keep the threads all going at max optimization. And to let us have time to pause and think and see around the next corner. This thread manager could prompt us in a sidebar with feature ideas, help us with the architecting.

🤯🤯🤯👏👏👏

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

Codex Spark feels like living in the future

[Omri @omri]

@manthanguptaa given how important memory is, how do you recommend we back it up? maybe to github? would be a shame to have to start all over with teaching clawdbot about us

really helpful article, thanks 🙏

What amazing fortune
To be 1 of the 100 billion homo sapiens sapiens that have ever lived
And to be alive at this the moment of the great inflection
Not to be 1 of 50 billion that died of mosquito borne disease
Nor to be 1 of 30 billion that died before age 5
Nor 1 of 10 billion killed in an act of violence
Instead to witness this ahistorical moment, to contribute in whatever small way in our outward expansion and proliferation,
To stand on the cusp of history:
What amazing great good fortune

On our sense of wonder in an AI Ghibli mushroom cloud.

“I sometimes imagine Heaven as a place of green wine, crimson seas, and golden mountains. Everyone goes there, good and bad alike. And if you still have enough innocence in your soul to enjoy things, then great, you’re in Heaven and presumably you have a good time. And if instead you’re one of those people who constitutionally hates everything, then you spend eternity writing thinkpieces with titles like “Can We As A Society Finally Shut Up About Golden Mountains?” or “Do The Wrong Type Of People Like Crimson Seas Too Much?”, and God and the Devil both agree that this counts as sufficient punishment.”
