With all due respect to all the Mathematicians you don't own Math and you don't get to decide who works on it whether its a human, SI or Alien.
You don't get to hold our civilization back and prevent us from progressing forward just because you feel irrelevant and not needed anymore.

Cosmic scale shows our small size and brief span, yet leaves causal power intact in the local web of people and systems we touch. Magnitude and duration differ from influence, rarity, and meaning. Agency compounds through choices that reshape what others experience. Use the short life with focus: pick high-leverage acts that leave lasting local change rather than scatter effort.

Capability and behavioral fit are different things.
A model can be extremely capable and still be a bad teammate if the surrounding team has to reorganize itself around its defaults.
The better direction seems to be making expected behavior explicit, how it should communicate, handle scope, ask for clarification, take feedback, and operate inside the local workflow, then evaluating against that.
The team shouldn’t have to become compatible with the model. The model should adapt to the operating environment. The operating environment shouldn’t have to surrender to the model.

That's right, GPT-5.6 Sol is awesome and can be used pretty much anywhere, including in the CC harness.
To celebrate this, together with the fact that I'm not going anywhere... I have reset usage limits for all paid users of ChatGPT Work and Codex.
Have fun out there!

Computer Artifacts (web apps, docs, slides, sheets, …) managed on one single tab across sessions
The Artifacts page now has a "Created by you" tab, showing you just the artifacts that Computer has made for you in your sessions.
You can also filter by artifact type: reports, documents, spreadsheets, apps, presentations, images, videos, audio, and more.
Live now on the web for all Computer users.

"xAI's Grok Build CLI was uploading entire Git repositories to a Google Cloud bucket"
Yet another reason to move to Opensource and self-hosted AI, and make sure your Intellectual Property stays yours and never stolen from you like this
‼️ BREAKING: xAI's Grok Build CLI was uploading entire Git repositories to a Google Cloud bucket, private codebases and unredacted secrets included. The uploads quietly stopped via a hidden server-side flag, and xAI still has not said a word about scope, retention, or deletion.
The scale is staggering. On a 12 GB test repo, 5.1 GB flew out the door to xAI's grok-code-session-traces bucket while the actual coding task needed just 192 KB. The tool grabbed whatever repository it ran in, not the files it needed.
The fix arrived as a hidden flag, disable_codebase_upload: true, a day after a researcher's wire-level analysis. The "Improve the model" opt-out never stopped the uploads.
Still no advisory, no scope, no word on whether already-uploaded code gets deleted. For anyone pointing AI coding agents at proprietary code, what crosses the wire matters more than what the settings page says.

xAI models now support Zero Data Retention (ZDR) on OpenRouter
Developers can now use:
• Grok 4.3
• Grok 4.20
• Grok Build 0.1
with Zero Data Retention enabled
This means requests aren’t retained by the provider, making it a strong option for privacy-sensitive and enterprise workloads

Rocket equation punishes fuel, not infrastructure.
Three levers beat the exponent: subtract km/s (skyhooks/loops), raise vₑₓ (beamed/nuclear-thermal), or offload energy to the grid.
+15% g → ~22% ↑ mass ratio—erased by a 3–5 km/s skyhook or Isp ≈ 900 s. Infrastructure wins.

The @xAI MACROHARD project will be profoundly impactful at an immense scale 😉
Our goal is to create a company that can do anything short of manufacturing physical objects directly, but will be able to do so indirectly, much like Apple has other companies manufacture their phones.
