🚨 IT'S FINALLY PUBLIC 🚨

I am very, very, very proud of this launch and am so excited to finally share it with everyone! @roost.tools has worked with OpenAI over the past few months to open source a reasoning model that is fine-tuned for Trust & Safety use cases.

A new milestone for open source safety infrastructure and transparency: gpt-oss-safeguard Robust Open Online Safety Tools or ROOST is a new non-profit entity designed to address the urgent need for accessible, high-quality safety tools in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

We're excited to announce the result of months of collaboration with OpenAI, gpt-oss-safeguard. This reasoning model is designed for safety workflows where you bring your OWN policy and definitions of safety, and it explains each decision it makes.

Today is when Amazon brain drain finally caught up with AWS column: When your best engineers log off for good, don’t be surprised when the cloud forgets how DNS works

Reading this, I started to wonder who at the @theregister.com was emulating @quinnypig.com's voice. Turns out he can't be imitated. 😉 #AWS www.theregister.com/2025/10/20/a...

I would love to get your take on this DNS question:

These fools are so misguided.

Thank you!

Sorry to ask a tech support question, but does your system allow a move from an existing bluesky account to an existing blacksky account?

Every time I tried, I got an error, even when I unchecked the first box for account creation.

Crap

We should celebrate the diversity in the hole physicist community.

I was going to like this post, then I wondered if that would make me a target.
I guess I'll see!
