Roon on that question. Many won’t believe him and that’s fine, but I think he’s telling the truth about what he knows, which may not be everything

It's widely believed there has been some wild incident at OpenAl, worse than any reported so far, which has scared the crap out of statt.
Does anyone have firm evidence that's true / not true?
Or informed speculation as to it might be?

About this capture
Translated from Russian by Google
Baran Shrek once ran away from the farm and wandered for 6 years over the mountains. After the capture, 27 kg of wool was shaved off. They were driven out of the mountains by wolves who could not bite the wool, and he walked before their eyes with a mute reproach of their helplessness.

Now I'm curious if they're treating this and the previous one (also procrastination-related) as Lie Scale questions (like the heart attack one was clearly an Attention Check question), or if they seriously think anyone answering a survey like this online might say "no" to questions like these

idk know if Gates’s work was vital to the buildout as it happened but 1. My takeaway across 2020 was that production scaling was always going to be the bottleneck, more than testing 2. This 4-3-2020 story suggests They were working on scaling before knowing which vax would work archive.is/47wni

Bill Gates is funding new factories for 7 potential coronavirus vaccines, even though it will waste billions of dollars

• Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates told The Daily Show that his foundation is funding the construction of factories for seven different candidates for a coronavirus vaccine.
POPULAR FROM BI PRIME
• Gates said that at most it would end up picking at most two out of the seven, meaning billions of dollars spent on manufacturing would be abandoned.
• He said in a situation where the world faces the loss of trillions of dollars to the economy, wasting a few billion in an effort to help the problem is worth it.

remember when it was really obvious which window was activated in Windows? for all the complaining about Windows 11, this is by far the worst thing I've never seen people complaining about. Had to check 3 times, but: in the left screenshot, the left window is activated, and on the right, the right.
screenshot: two Private Mode Edge windows on the Bing homepage next to each other. The one on the left has white/lighter gray header bar controls. Obviously activated!? Well it must be, because the one on the right has a subtle drop shadow on its left edge!screenshot: two Private Mode Edge windows on the Bing homepage next to each other. The one on the left has subtler gray header bar controls. The drop shadow on the left window helpfully falls on an already-darker scrollbar, so you really know the one on the left is further back. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE MAIN WINDOW'S CONTENT BE MASKED SLIGHTLY LIGHTER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT

it is so strange to see multiple stories about Milli Vanilli, and no one mentioning that Rob died decades ago, and now: this Jodie is not the person they put on the poster! Fab (the remaining guy of the original deceptive duo). Who's Jodie? Because she's not this guy!
240
Bert Gambit @complexifire.bsky.social · 28/05/2026
So you’re correct on the first point and also it’s way more confusing than that, because the picture clearly shows Fab but apparently Jodie Rocco and Linda Rocco use the name Milli Vanilli at this point Still possible they just meant “Fab” and had no idea of the Milli Vanilli name situation

NEW YORK (AP) - A day after the President Donald Trump-affiliated Freedom 250 announced the "first wave" of performers for "The Great American State Fair" shows on Washington's National Mall in June and July, Milli Vanilli and Morris Day are among the scheduled acts who have said they will not be appearing.
Day and Young MC issued statements on social media disputing Wednesday's announcement from Freedom
250, while Milli Vanilli singer Jodie Rocco told The Associated Press that neither she, her sister Linda Rocco nor any of the other group members had been asked to come.
"My sister and I were shocked to see our name, 'Milli Vanilli, as one of the performers," Jodie Rocco wrote in an email.
A Freedom 250 spokesperson did not immediately respond Thursday to a request for comment. Freedom 250, which Trump launched late last year, describes itself as a "national, non-partisan organization leading the celebration of our Nation's 250th birthday." Trump appointed Keith Krach, who served as an under secretary of state during his first term, as the organization's CEO.
