the avg person probably doesn’t care about ads in chatgpt but what is gonna make these ads resonate is how they’ve captured the chipper, clipped, empty-eyed cadence of the gpt 5 models

This funny part is this is unironically true…

I’m curious on cases like this - the IP stresser tested @dodopayments infra and let @ayushagarwal know where to fix the security gaps. Would you want someone to test your system like that? Do we consider the Russian IP stresser a white hat or black hat? Legally - black hat…
Here’s the full story. When the attacker reached out, I expected chaos. Instead, I met someone absurdly skilled, weirdly honest, and surprisingly open about why he did it. He’s from Russia. And his “job” is running a full stresser service - hundreds of servers across data centers, custom built browsers with Rust, distributed load generators, all built and managed by him. At one point he even had 479 attacks running in parallel for different customers. He walked me through how he bypassed multiple layers of protection at @dodopayments. He showed me the tooling he built. He explained how he tests hundreds of sites at once. No ransom. No extortion. Just….. “I don’t like weak security and I wanted to push you.” And honestly, he did push us. Hard. We spent 48 hours fixing gaps we didn’t know existed. He pointed out where we were strong and where we weren’t. He even shared suggestions on how to harden the stack further. The wildest part? What started as an attack turned into a conversation about infra, security, and resilience. Internet is a strange place. But sometimes the people trying to break you end up making you stronger.

I’m convinced that the original people who immediately used ChatGPT in the first few months when it came out in November 2022 still call it “ChatGPT”. Most Gen Z call people I know call it just “Chat” and it always throws me off

Invested in prediction market for Trump pardons… currently predicted Justin Sun as a “NO”. Odds spiked after the Changpeng Zhao pardon. Justin Sun has not yet charged with anything Trump can even pardon for this year…if SEC continues the case it is a civil issue not federal…

Took the assumption there would be at least 1 NO vote as a “statement” for publicity. Either in the form of objection to whistleblowers/family privacy (like Rep Higgins mentioned) or as opposition to Trump. Looking back this was a probably a bad bet and I should’ve cashed out 😅

The House of Representatives on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a bill ordering the release of the Justice Department's files on late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It passed 427-1 — with GOP Rep. Clay Higgins as the only vote against the measure. abcnews.link/LbMqEL3

.@levelsio How difficult is it to have photoai to combine process like SpatialLM to view current room, reverse image search for exact furniture model for things like the bookshelf, and then rearrange them using suggestions based on industry norms for bookcase locations in a room?

SpatialLM just dropped on Hugging Face Large Language Model for Spatial Understanding

I’ve never told how much @Apple did to help evacuate my grandmother from the hell that was happening in Kharkiv in 2023. They hired security contractors to get people out. The level of coordination on the ground and online was insane—translators, drivers, everything. Grateful.

NEW: Body cam footage shows Boston Police showing up at man’s house after he called 911 wishing someone would wish him a happy birthday. This is the body cam footage we love to see. Officers Israel Bracho and Franklin Ortiz showed up with a muffin and a candle to wish 25-year-old Chris a happy birthday. Chris, who was smiling ear to ear, welcomed them in and the officers sang ‘happy birthday.’ “Once we verified it actually was his birthday we said: ‘Well, everyone has one birthday so everyone deserves to feel special on their day.’” Happy Birthday, Chris!

The DMA went through its first major challenge with Apple banning Epic Games Sweden from competing with the App Store, and the DMA just had its first major victory. Following a swift inquiry by the European Commission, Apple notified the Commission and Epic that it would relent and restore our access to bring back Fortnite and launch Epic Games Store in Europe under the DMA law. A big win for European rule of law, for the European Commision, and for the freedom of developers worldwide to speak up. #FreeFortnite! epicgames.com/site/en-US/new…
