If you're pregnant and can sprint into the US from Guatemala in 30 minutes, your child clearly *has* to be an american citizen, because we need him for our supersoldier program

wow. AI is seriously amazing.

i asked it to find a better route for the Sydney - London flight

Opus 4.8 found a much more efficient route that flys in a straight line instead of a curved one.

but Fable 5 found an even better route that's half the distance!

please tag Qantas so they can see this, this will revolutionize the airline industry

My 2 cents on the AC situation in Europe (as an almost architect). And by the way, I've always had AC in my apartments.

Most city centers in Europe are protected, so installing AC units on the facade is not an option. If you think installing AC machines on the facades of Venice, Florence or Paris is acceptable, that's a different discussion.

There are alternatives to this, of course. In Barcelona, for example, all AC machines have to be installed on the roof by law. It's a bit of a technical headache, but totally doable in Barcelona because most buildings have flat roofs. But guess what? Paris and many other cities do not have flat roofs, therefore installing AC machines on the rooftops is not always an option either.

Another factor to consider is noise. AC machines are very loud. Not loud like a siren, but they create this continuous hum, and when you put a bunch of these machines together, it can get quite loud. If you live, let's say, in a 6th-floor penthouse, and the building next to you is 4-5 stories high and has all its AC machines installed on the roof, forget about chilling or having a nice dinner on your amazing terrace.

Does this mean people in Europe should literally die from heat? Absolutely not. Does it mean it's okay for it to be impossible to be productive for some weeks? No. Is it okay to have any of the other problems that a lack of AC creates? No.

What I'm saying here is that this is a multilayered problem. It's not just a "woke" mentality, or people being cheap, or any other single thing you think is the reason for this. It's a combination of culture, history, regulation, technical limitations, and much more. All of which we should find a solution for, but we are definitely not getting any closer with all these rants here on X.

I love that we’re the new Rome. Peace with Persia in the afternoon and a gladiator fight in the evening, all on the Emperor’s birthday. Another 1,000 years.

No, you don't get it.

He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies.

To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined.

Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems".

$100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12

If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation.

But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.

I actually don’t see why this is a problem anymore or why trivia like this is necessary. Sure, I know the answer but it doesn’t matter. Let Claude do it.

Today, we remember a legend.

On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.

He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.

Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.

Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

You were suspended for platform manipulation.

On April 11, we announced that a portion of creator revenue would be allocated to original authors of content. Immediately after, you stopped using Video Share, which you had been using for 3 years.

Instead, you began to programmatically download-and re-upload other accounts' videos so that the system would credit them as original.

The behavior alone was circumstantial. What made it conclusive: you uploaded another user's video with the watermark cropped out. You deliberately attempted to manipulate the payout formula.

We don't pay people who cheat the program.
