What a delight to talk to @waleswbg.bsky.social for their inaugural podcast episode about the wealth tax (and @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social 's work on this issue ) and how it can help address the gender wealth gap.

A lot of people are learning that cowardice won’t save them in real time. Might as well be brave.

The millionaire exodus widely reported in the news is a complete fiction. This is "scaremongering", the @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social @fmohiuddin.bsky.social says and points out that most wealthy people do want to pay more tax. #BogusExodus #TaxTheSuperRich

Cutting Medicaid will kick grandparents out of nursing homes. Cutting Medicaid will throw people with disabilities off insurance. Cutting Medicaid will threaten coverage for 2 in 5 births in America. This is what Republicans just voted to do to fund tax cuts for the rich.

Love how every single liberal party strategy is “moving right wins elections” then when moving right repeatedly fails to win elections cause they’re running against OPENLY RIGHT-WING PARTIES they just go “Well clearly we didn’t move right enough.” Like even a child could tell you what’s wrong

Sam Altman is talking about bringing online "tens of thousands" and then "Hundreds of thousands" of GPUs. 10,000 GPUs costs them $113 million a year, 100k $1.13bn, so this is Sam Altman committing to billions of dollars of compute for an expensive model that lacks any real new use cases. Suicide.
GPT-4.5 is ready!
good news: it is the first model that feels like talking to a thoughtful person to me. i have had several moments where i've sat back in my chair and been astonished at getting actually good advice from an Al.
bad news: it is a giant, expensive model. we really wanted to launch it to plus and pro at the same time, but we've been growing a lot and are out of GPUs. we will add tens of thousands of GPUs next week and roll it out to the plus tier then. (hundreds of thousands coming soon, and i'm pretty sure y'all will use every one we can rack up.)
this isn't how we want to operate, but it's hard to perfectly predict growth surges that lead to GPU shortages.
a heads up: this isn't a reasoning model and won't crush benchmarks. it's a different kind of intelligence and there's a magic to it i haven't felt before. really excited for people to try it!Microsoft has been charging OpenAl about $1.30 per A100 per hour—a hefty discount to the rate Microsoft charges other customers.
The inference cluster is basically operating at full capacity, this person said, so a full-year cost would run about $4 billion. That cost could dip if OpenAI makes it cheaper to run its models on those servers.

LLMs like ChapGPT don't know anything. They don't have knowledge. So if you ask them anything you then have to properly check the answer. So you might as well just...start by...getting the answer yourself using proper research, save some time.

This was a weird message to wake up to. It happens with surprising regularity that some people feel the need to say to me, an immigrant, how much they don’t make immigration. My entire career and life in Germany that I enjoy is best off of unskilled immigration. I am an unskilled immigrant.
