OpenAI demos real-time language translation with its latest GPT-4o model.

GPT-4o has been out for 10 days and someone has already used it to take out their HOA

.Nellie Bowles continues to be the news roundup/cultural commentary GOAT. This particular point is also true of the ongoing evolution of the term that refers to the “mentally challenged” (is that even the current one? Probably not sry sry sry)

Really good piece from Rupa Subramanya

Happy 4th of July, from a Canadian. For most of my life I've been ambivalent about America, but reading this book last year made me truly love the country.

Out of all the quotes I've published from Vance, it's this snippet that I'd pick that best shows the man and why he got into politics

Final note: massive up to authors & funders. 50 million $ and years of hard work on a topic authors care deeply about, & instead of p hacking or pretending things went well, they were rigorous & honest about null results. Journalists: this is very rare and should be highlighted!

Never even liked tennis anyway.

Really enjoyed listening to Matthew Pines' wide-ranging discussion here. Would be very curious to know if Matt has read qntm's "There Is No Antimemetics Division" given its thematic overlap with his worldview (universeview?) youtube.com/watch?v=YN2Le9…

Just posting here because I like my new profile pic

Very excited to check out H... eager to see if it can replace my COO

Miles was at OpenAI, and no longer is. As he notes, internally there are models (incl. multiple "o1" models not open to public) that crush benchmarks; people working on these models don't see slowdown. Another year of progress similar to last year *already baked in the cake*.

A hint about what's coming later today? #openai #ChatGPT #chatgpt5 #o1promode
