I don’t think Dario lives in the same universe as all others. Either @AnthropicAI has a time machine, or they are trying to ignite retail interest. Ambitious is an understatement.

The perpetrators of crime are often hailed as martyrs of an unjust system. Too often we forget the victims and the lifelong impact crime has on them, IF they survived.
So the guy who broke two of my vertebrae when he tried to abduct me and went on to kill four women gets to live. Great. @GavinNewsom, the only compassion you have is for evil doers--perhaps because you are one yourself.

Clinging to AI as the enemy misses the reality. Data centers aren’t a luxury built solely for AI advancement; they’re the foundation of a modern (digital) society. Health records, finance, elections; it all runs on compute. You either scale the capacity, or watch critical systems fail.
As someone in AI and on the left, what is the case for the median voter to support data centers? The best arguments seem to be: - Jobs (most are temporary construction, and even that is often done by people coming in, not local) - Taxes (which are reduced / eliminated in deals with local gov) If you are primarily concerned about cost of living and like, having a job, why would you support datacenters? Don't get me wrong, I think we do need to build these, I think they are important for the US to be the dominant player in AI, but we need better arguments.

The hell?! Logging off before I lose my shit. Insane…
Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence.

The blue wave happened. The election results aren’t a nod to far-left extremists and socialism…they’re a rebuke to Trump and MAGA. The success of this country and our countrymen is greater than stroking one man’s ego; I am looking forward to the day when Trump fades into irrelevance.

Jasmine Crockett used to think Republicans were the racists. Then she ran against a Democrat. She expected Republicans to spend millions on attack ads against her, but admits “their ads were fair.” What she didn’t expect was that the racist ones “were coming from the super PAC on behalf of [James Talarico].” The Left always accuses you of what they’re doing themselves.

The left claims the right is eroding democracy I used to believe this Now I strongly believe that the inverse is true, the left is eroding democracy If you don't believe this, ask yourself: 1) why won't California pass a Voter ID law? 2) why does the left allow >10 million illegal immigrants into America? 3) why was President Trump investigated over classified documents but Biden and Clinton weren't (they both had classified documents)? 4) why did Democratic operatives find a second Dan Sullivan to run against the incumbent Dan Sullivan in Alaska? 5) how are the courts able to block the deportation of violent illegal immigrants who have deportation orders? (not all, the subset with criminal indictments) From the mid 1800s until 2016 the left and right had roughly symmetrical powers But the 2016 election fractured the right into two groups: the legacy Republican party vs MAGA While they were fighting with each other, the Democratic party solidified an exceptional -- and asymmetric -- level of power We see this in its most pronounced form in the courts today; but the trajectory is a uniparty This would effectively be the end of Democracy in America If the Democrats want my vote again then do the following things: a) pass a voter ID law b) make electoral college and congressional power proportionate to *citizen population* rather than *total population* (including illegal immigrants) c) remove threats to pack the Supreme Court (and in a perfect world pass legislation capping the Court at 9 judges) 🇺🇸
My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will: 1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate. 2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority. 3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority. This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word. All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

I’m against all of these. The new force in politics and elections is independents. The fact independents are NOT an organized party, means we can individually do what we think is right, without regard to party politics. That is a force we have not seen before. And it is only growing as we all become increasingly disgusted by party politics. Pushing these would backfire on Democrats.

Why does Google do this? If its not generally available, you can save the release announcement(s). Especially given that the release timelines are ALWAYS vague.
Introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our latest frontier model. Carbon delivers improved performance across domains — ranking #1 on v5.0 of the @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index and sets a new state-of-the-art in cybersecurity and long-horizon capabilities. It’s rolling out starting this week to cyber defenders through our Fairwind Program, with expanded access coming soon 🧵

This is going to ruffle some feathers but Simon’s right. I’m endlessly thankful that this community cares about what we’re building. I’ve been on twitter since 2007 w my personal account and I love this wild place and the love the feedback we get on here. But nothing made this disconnect more obvious to me than when we cut the price of Sol by 50% with GPT-6 and I saw people literally saying “no one cares about API pricing” and calling the release a flop. Meanwhile the reaction from my enterprise accounts (some of the biggest and most technically sophisticated companies in the world) was a complete 180. To them it was a huge lever that unlocked the ability to scale AI across more workflows without having to make really tough tradeoffs around cost. I’m glad we fast followed it with GPT-6.1 Sol, and there were absolutely lessons to learn from that launch, but the echo chamber of twitter felt so vast that week.
X is increasingly disconnected from AI reality. Heavily dominated by prosumers, influencers, engagement-baiters. Not representative of enterprises that pay for most AI and over a billion users that pay nothing. Not representative of hard data on usage. More focused on sexy visual output than dry but more impactful capabilities (OpenAI still beats Anthropic on math, but from X you'd think that were less important to humanity than Three.js video games). Some useful signal. But increasingly use AI to preread news sources, including X, and give me a filtered view that removes the noise.

I dont care how it gets done; praying for PEACE.
THE CEASEFIRE HAS COMMENCED The ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia took effect at 4:00am Moscow time on October 27, 2026.    Timing was accelerated two days ahead of schedule to protect the safety of civilians and to facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian aid. The ceasefire’s geographic area has expanded beyond Oleshky, within the Kherson Region, to provide safe passage for the humanitarian convoys.       General Valery Gerasimov, Joint Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has confirmed.

🚨🔥 Stephen A. Smith says he wishes every single Black American would vote Republican in one election‼️🧐 Democrats have neglected the Black community while we have put them in positions of power, so why not⁉️🤔

Jason Esteves: “ Georgians deserve better than leaders [Keisha Lance Bottoms] who cut and run.”
Keisha Lance Bottoms is the first Atlanta mayor since 1942 to quit after a single term. Her failures cost hundreds of lives and left a city in despair and destruction.

Y’all, remember when we were in school and they had us kids separated... Honors classes, regular classes, and special ed classes. See, the problem with social media is, they have all of us on here together and we aren’t supposed to be.
