#NYTXW This was mostly fine, even if I've never heard anyone say 36-A before and a couple of crossings felt like they were reaching to be more than was truly necessary for the sake of satisfying this being a late-in-week grid. Today's solve music was The Automaton Adventure Series' self-titled cassette (private-press, 1998).

@theorchidshow 36a is not a common saying, you’re right

Threads API Update 🛜

Over the past few months, we’ve been building the Threads API to enable creators, developers and brands to manage their Threads presence at scale and easily share fresh, new ideas with their communities from their favorite third-party applications.

The API currently enables users to authenticate, publish threads, and fetch the content they posted through these tools – and soon, we will enable reply moderation and insights capabilities.

366 lb DL, T'Vondre Sweat, just ran a 5.27 40-Yd. This type of speed is consistent with someone who is nearly 30 lbs lighter than he is. I plotted his 40 time and weight against last years complete list of combine participants. #nfl #nflcombine #dataviz

Mark Cuban reposts antisemitic tweets he receives in Musk’s cesspool https://www.dailydot.com/debug/mark-cuban-x-antisemitism-groypers/

Cuban [said] the reposts represented only a small fraction of the hateful content he’s received on X, “the only platform” where he says he has experienced anti-Semitism.

“It’s nearly impossible to have a true discussion on X any longer,” Cuban said.

So far today, Elon Musk has tweeted:

"There is a large graveyard filled with my enemies" and "I am my own worst enemy by far"

So is there a large graveyard full of him?

The VP of product & partnerships at OpenAI tweeting this is quite the plot twist. At this point the narrative from employees seems to be that this is a rogue board which is bonkers.

Wondering what you call it when a group of talented people dedicated to advancing a positive agenda for the world bicker about arcane differences in approach while the bad guys come in and absolutely crush the movement altogether.

This is happening in so many cases right now I feel like we need a name for it.

So the summary of the OpenAI drama is that the company's mission is to build an AI that can take all the jobs and "loves humanity" but their chief scientist, Ilya, was worried that Sam Altman was pushing too fast on the "take all the jobs" bit while they haven't figured out the "loves humanity" bit?

What a shit show.

    Sad. I am sure one reason I'm comfortable here is that things like that never happen to me.

    I'm sure they would, if I had higher circulation.

    Which might make the platform self-limiting in that sense.

    @John yeah but I suspect most of this is that some people really like Twitter and Bluesky is really like Twitter, both in culture and UX

    @zed @SeanCasten I guess you could have looked at the many articles on the topic to discover that his antisemitic comments referred to the belief that Jews are responsible for flooding America (and the West) with dangerous immigrants.
