Codex for (almost) everything.

It can now use apps on your Mac, connect to more of your tools, create images, learn from previous actions, remember how you like to work, and take on ongoing and repeatable tasks.

It’s quite tiring to hear all disparagement of Sam. Every interaction I’ve had directly or seen others have for almost a decade, he’s been thoughtful and kind, and always trying to find solutions that work for everyone.

If Farrow’s approach was applied to anyone else, they’d come off as the devil too. Ironically, Farrow himself is clearly not a person that’s out for the truth.

Sam built the largest nonprofit in history, millions of people are being empowered every day by products he helped create, and 97% (not just a “majority” as Farrow said) of the company signed a letter to bring him back after he was fired by an inexperienced and uninvolved board.

I look forward to when a proper journalist actually writes the true story in the future.

Check out the new look for ChatGPT Voice! You can see conversation history and visual widgets as you talk, and share images and text just like in regular chats! 🙌

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

You can now use ChatGPT Voice right inside chat—no separate mode needed.

You can talk, watch answers appear, review earlier messages, and see visuals like images or maps in real time.

Rolling out to all users on mobile and web. Just update your app.

The song One Week by the Barenaked Ladies spent exactly one week at the top of the Billboard Charts in October 1998.

You can support Israel’s existence without defending war crimes. You can support Palestinian freedom without calling for a global intifada. Reducing human suffering requires nuance, not tribalism.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

When the American empire finally collapses, historians won’t be stunned by the greed of the elite; They’ll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor.

The working class didn’t just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them.

They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions.

Not because it helped them.
But because they were told it would hurt someone else.

And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without ever breaking a single law.

Nuclear war, climate crisis, engineered pathogens—humanity’s been on thin ice for 80 years. AI can't be stopped, but built responsibly, it can help mitigate these existential threats. Ensuring the frontier stays with labs committed to safety is our best shot at saving us from us.

@elonmusk It took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize that smart people can be dumb as hell.

[Rocky Smith @ummwolfcat]

Zuck: "People use stuff that's valuable for them. One of my core guiding principles in designing products is that people are smart. They know what's valuable in their lives."

The sooner Zuck realizes he's wrong about this, the better off humanity will be. Otherwise, we'll all get sucked into dopamine-driven attention loops until our robot overlords pull the plug.

X is a toxic mess. I come here for AI news and to see what's going on in the world, but instead I'm inundated with right-wing propaganda, racist takes, 1950s misogyny, conspiracy theories, and violent videos. It's 6 AM, I don't want to see a bird eating a woman's eye.

My niece Ali (12) urgently needs a heart transplant due to advanced heart failure. She’s hospitalized, awaiting transplant at highest priority. Donations to COTA for Team Alessandra are available for her lifetime of transplant-related expenses 🙏 #COTAHope

Yesterday, we released a truly incredible image generation model. It supports text, realism, inpainting, image edits, and even transparency! It has 4o world knowledge and can follow precise instructions. We also have incredible reasoning safeguards to block the bad stuff. My small contribution was integrating it into the ChatGPT iOS app!

Shoutout to @gabeeegoooh, @prafdhar, @ajabri, @sama, @eliza_luth, @kenjihata, @dmed256, @rohanjamin, @jackiemshannon, wchang, mz, and somayjain! ✌️

I love seeing liberals (or just people willing to call a spade a spade) speaking up without caring about the predictable and tired backlash from this right-wing propaganda site (fka Twitter).
