  6. openai shipped five things this week and most people only noticed the bugs @Felirami · read more

    @Felirami's list: images 2.5, gpt-live-1, the agents api, data agent, and chatgpt for financial services.

  8. the idea that markets have opening and closing hours is quietly dying @FTDA_US · read more

  10. crypto spent the night deciding jesse pollak deserves an apology @soby0x ♥ 27 · read more

    @cobie's defense ran all night. brian armstrong on his resilience, @soby0x noting he made base happen at all and that building is hard, @andreaslbigger calling the 2022 optimism work a career highlight.

  1. the other side of the jesse argument is that he never apologized @beaniemaxi ♥ 2 · read more

    @beaniemaxi calls the defense balanced but lists the base memecoin launched from the actual deployer and the zora dealings. @mrtdlgc's version blames coinbase ventures instead.

  2. gpt-6 astra beat a full game of factorio with the enemies turned on @Alex_Danco · read more

    about 44 hours of in-game time over four days, per the clip going around. factorio is the factory-building game programmers use to lose weekends.

  3. codex is now pausing sessions mid-task and people think it's a capacity excuse @doodlestein ♥ 32 · read more

    @MLeeJr did the math: that's more than roughly 98% of the world's population has. it's on base, and nobody quite planned for an ai account to be rich.

  1. someone gave a fly's brain $100 and told it to trade bitcoin @kirstenrpomales · read more

    @kirstenrpomales wired it so the fly's dopamine neurons fire when the trade is profitable. a biological neural network with a brokerage account.

  2. there's a new token that pays you when your position is losing money @eeelistar ♥ 91 · read more

  4. most of your ai agent bill is the model re-reading things it already read @altryne · read more

  6. people want ai agents to browse the web from inside a sealed chip @HarshaKaramchat · read more

  5. there's a discord where a thousand people trade their leftover ai credits @mac_eth ♥ 10 · read more

  1. a robot at eth zurich taught itself the monkey bars @lukas_m_ziegler ♥ 18 · read more
