Does anyone know what became of the OpenAI model that was supposed to write really well?

Just letting you know that I am going to be using all of OpenAI’s inference servers for a task over the next hour or so.

Thanks to Joshua and many others including someone from X who reached out, I am back. But sorry, I don't have any tips on crypto investing.

Sadly @R_Thaler has been unable to get access to his account. Not sure what’s going on with @x but maybe if enough people tweet something might happen.

In my first @SuperhumanMail email 2025 recap, apparently I sent almost 7,000 emails and marked done 50,000. Thus, I am running a massive deficit in communications. My most productive day was Sept 3.

Annoyed by pdf readers? I built a Chromium extension. Super lightweight (via pdfjslib). Press 's' to sign, 'a' to annotate, 'x' to select, 'm' to comment, 'h' to highlight, 'x' to strikethrough, 'r' for full screen reader mode. Can zoom in/zoom out/search. It does nothing else.

Is a question I have what is it with capitalism that Taylor Swift is yet to exploit Christmas? Like no song?

I asked ChatGPT to review some @RefineInk comments and still have it on snark mode.

Interestingly, ChatGPT 5.2 Pro is now doing a much much better job at checking proofs than Gemini 3 Deep Think. It takes much longer, but it is examining proofs more carefully.

Whatever advertising AI decided what I wanted was comfy pants at this time of year was spot on.

Something I didn't expect that we can see in @alldaytahelps data: study effort is so correlated with tests. Across courses, if use on Finals week is "1", relative use on midterm week is .7, and on non-exam weeks .05-.1. For courses with no exam, use always at the lower level. 1/3

Little girl draws a sketch of her missing dad and the news anchors had no idea that the sketch looked exactly like her actual dad when shown the update …. 😂😂I’m crying I’m laughing so hard.
