they're pretending to be worked up about this while the president is openly directing the DOJ to invent criminal charges for a list of his enemies on truth social

weird feeling reading the judge's order and thinking "wow! there is a person in power for whom facts matter"

As OpenAI undergoes yet another C-suite overhaul – a reminder of the turmoil following last year’s DevDay – the company is trying to convince developers that it still offers the best platform to build AI apps on.

Figure 3 reports the growth of overall weekly active users (WAU) on consumer plans over time. ChatGPT had more than 100 million logged-in WAU after one year, and almost 350 million after two years.

rare useful citation from Zitron, though of course if you read it, it proves him wrong: overestimate due to double-counted logged-out users is probably pretty small, and even if you revise all stats downward by 10% it doesn't change the rate on the exponential curve

Per IL lawyers, TX guard members are set to board a flight to IL at 4 pm today. Federal attorneys corroborated, but said guard members wouldn't be on streets until tomorrow at the earliest.

Federal attys also said they didn't know where in IL guard members would be deployed to.

New: federal judge April Perry in Chicago *will not* issue a temporary restraining order barring members of the Texas Natl. Guard from coming to IL.

Perry will give the fed. govt. until Wednesday at midnight to respond to IL's lawsuit. Oral arguments scheduled for Thursday.

yep

"No, I don’t think the compact as proposed should be signed. But it’s still an excellent idea to have a coalition of strong universities work together to negotiate a package of reforms for higher education."

of course it's dogshit. but it would be good to do something else that will never happen

something very HyperNormalisation about DHS people going on TV saying it's a "disgusting smear" to accuse them of what the other DHS people are openly saying they're doing. kind of like it's a disgusting smear to quote the Israeli defense minister about what Israel is doing

god help me I'm back on my bullshit (logged into nextdoor)

they must still be seeing growth there. they want more intensity of usage, not just number of users

Instagram now has 3 billion monthly active users Meta said that Instagram now has 3 billion monthly active users.

for comparison, Instagram has about 3 billion monthly users and went from 700M in April 2017 to 800M in August 2017 (I think). so ChatGPT is growing at least twice as fast as Instagram at the same size

sam altman on stage in front of a big screen that says 2025: 4M developers, 800M+ weekly ChatGPT users, 6B tokens per minute through the API

Altman just said ChatGPT is at 800M+ weekly active users, up from 700M in early August. this simple fact explains almost everything about the tech industry right now. nobody seems to understand this

I said my wife's fuchsia shirt was vaporwave and she no joke thought I said weberwave

I would guess this alleged workflow UI is not primarily aimed at devs either

I can't find evidence of IAPs, sadly. seems like how stupid it looks is the key to virality. it's funny to make celebs be bad something and look stupid

Mayor Brandon Johnson signs executive order establishing ‘ICE-free zones’ • The TRiiBE Johnson is calling for a full investigation into “all of the brutality” that federal agents have conducted this past week.

HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”

“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause.

fox news hompage with headline BOOTED OUT Federal court overrules president's authority to send troops amid Portland unrest and a video of cops and tear gas

Immergut ruled Saturday that Trump's federalization order exceeded his authority because the law only allows the president to call in the National Guard under exceptional circumstances, including invasion, rebellion or an inability to execute federal law using regular forces. The court found none of those conditions existed in Oregon, determining that local and federal law enforcement were capable of maintaining order. Further, because Immergut ruled Trump acted outside statutory limits, she found the order also violated the 10th Amendment by infringing on Oregon’s sovereign right to control its own National Guard.

not sure anybody is actually reading these articles, but Fox's top story about the TRO is extremely straightforward and unbiased

DAVID MARCUS: Portland is a dystopian nightmare, and residents seem to like it

Jackie, a bartender whose family has lived in the area for a century — and who is as nice as can be — told me, "You’re only talking about downtown. The rest of the city isn’t really like that." Sure, every city has nice neighborhoods and not-so-nice ones. But the downtown area is what everyone shares. It’s the face of a city, and in the Rose City, it almost feels like Dickensian London.

fox news can't quite get the message straight lol

YouTube video by Forbes Breaking News 'We Will Prevail Over The Forces Of Wickedness And Evil': Stephen Miller Speaks At Kirk Memorial

if you haven't seen miller go full nazi at kirk's funeral, it is worth the pain of seeing his face for 30 seconds to know what is going on over there. "our ancestors built the cities. they produced the art and architecture. they built the industry... you are nothing. you can build nothing"

oh yeah this was the post

I guess I have a naive faith that hundreds of millions of americans who are basically seeing life go on as normal (except in neighborhood the feds themselves are terrorizing) are going to have a hard time believing that Trump is fighting an armed communist domestic insurgency

Stephen Miller @StephenM · 11h Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

miller has really been on one lately
