Maybe it's just because it's new and shiny but I'm obsessed with with Grok Bot.
The form factor is so fun, especially when combined with text to speech. You can FLY.
Automations just work, cross-bot messaging works perfectly (I do most everything through my "chief of staff").

@dexhorthy and I are live-streaming a discussion about the (incredible) results from the new SlopCodeBench benchmark, and what it means for engineers.
Completely fascinating.

"The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.”
- George Washington, July 2, 1776
Continental Congress HAS SIGNED A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE!
The UNITED STATES are OFFICIALLY INDEPENDENT from BRITAIN.
LIBERTY BELLS ring out throughout Philadelphia; the streets ERUPT IN ECSTASY.
“Why don’t they just get rid of offside in soccer?”
Because it completely ruins the game.
People have thought about that and experimented with it before.
You can make it work on tiny fields but on a big field it just becomes endless cherry-picking.
"VAR made their recommendation to the referee based on slow-motion and still replays, which is not aligned with VAR protocols."
@andydaviesref believes VAR made the incorrect decision on Folarin Balogun's red card.
International competition is fascinating because Bosnia and Herzegovina is playing against the United States when the country has a population the size of Iowa or Arkansas
Today I learned that the Bosnia and Herzegovina flag was imposed on the country by the United Nations High Representative after its parliament couldn't find a flag everyone could agree on.
And it looks like it.
Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow.
After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. We’ll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests.
We’ve also begun drafting a consensus framework—with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partners—for assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort.
Finally, we’re scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research.
Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.

we're at a point in time where hiring for any senior technical role in SF is near impossible for a startup, we're hearing "i'd just stay in the [lab name] and keep making a few mil a year for now" every time.
We do really need more H1Bs/O1s to move here
Yes many people still underestimate the value of good product and engineering, but I think AI making it easier to build is showing us the biggest bottleneck may have been truly breakthrough ideas all along
