My top use case for GPT-4o native image output right now: using it to imagine home reno projects in our new place. i.e. look at this potential built-in bookshelf / reading bench — rendered in one shot!

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, energetic
Written for: People building with AI

Disney has cancelled their deal with OpenAI. They planned to invest $1 billion into the company and let Sora have access to AI generate videos of characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars. (Source: t.co

Attorney General Pamela Bondi

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon.

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

Everyone's talking about the duplex architecture and the truly "live" interactions with GPT-Live. But the part that I'm most excited about it just how much _smarter_ this model is than other voice models. It can delegate to our other models to do work on its behalf!

We quietly launched the Symphony repo on Github last month, and it's already accumulated 15.5k stars! Excited to share this post that dives into it even deeper: a library that lets you use Codex to orchestrate work normally done by teams of engineers. t.co

We're now in a world where you can get 54.4% SWE-Bench PRO performance, and 60% (!) T-Bench 2.0 performance: - at 2x the speed of GPT-5-mini - for 7.5x to 10x cheaper than GPT-5.4 Wild!

ChatGPT for Excel is here! GPT-5.4 is shockingly good at performing Excel manipulations. In particular, it's been impressive at handling work when thrown into complex existing spreadsheets. Available for Plus, Pro, Enterprise, Business, and Edu users! t.co

Best part of launching o3-mini in the API: - available to our broadest user base yet: tiers 3 and up - comes with almost all developer features enabled - cheapest reasoning model yet - smarter than even o1 at times (at reasoning_effort: high)
