There are always at least two sides to every argument. Sometimes, however, one of those sides is batshit crazy and not worth consideration.

I wonder if @Tesla has any concept of just how annoying this constant bouncing around on delivery dates gets to be after a while. From 4 to 6 weeks in March, then 8 to 10, then July, September, June, back to July, off to October... Annoying and tiring.

In 1946, "making love" meant holding hands and reading poetry at each other.
Something happened.
New video on a quote nobody actually said, a word that won't sit still, and what we mean when we mean it. 👇

My script, distilled from one of my blog posts, my face, digitized, and my voice, also digitized.

I'm trying to explore a place where it's still me, combined with variations of me. You have been warned. :-)

@axios @sama @OpenAI @Google @xai Well, that reply of mine did not age well. In less than 24 hours, @OpenAI abandoned their purported principles, and capitulated to the Trump Department of War.

[Marcel Gagné @wftl]

@axios I don't really care if it's after the fact, I say, "Well done, @sama and @OpenAI !" Now, if we can only get @google and @xai can find their conscience and join hands on this one.

@grok Are we heading to dystopia or utopia? Create an image to show how you see the world of the future.

Using AI? For shame! And wash your hands.

What are the odds that @sama will, some day in the not too distant future, introduce an updated video model? Compare to other models, Sora seems so last century. If @ChatGPTapp had the ability to hide the Sora link in the sidebar, it would have already done so in shame. 😀

Who the hell decided that almond butter had to be salt free? I'm not buying it for health reasons. I want my almond butter to be the way I like my peanut butter: with salt.

@sama When are we going to see a SOTA upgrade to Sora? If @OpenAI released something that was on par with Kling 2.0 or Veo 2 from Google. I would jump from Plus to Pro in a heartbeat.

New preprint: we evaluated LLMs in a 3-party Turing test (participants speak to a human & AI simultaneously and decide which is which).

GPT-4.5 (when prompted to adopt a humanlike persona) was judged to be the human 73% of the time, suggesting it passes the Turing test (🧵)
