1/ I'm joining @OpenAI to lead Creator Product after over 13 years since starting @Patreon. Coming with me are my favorite crew Drew Rowny and Shannon Ma, Patreon's (now former) Head of Product and Head of Engineering. We're going to build together with Creators at OpenAI and share early access to a new set of tools that I think will be critically valuable to Creators and their communities.

A few years ago, San Francisco had lost its way. Today, crime is down, unsheltered homelessness is at its lowest level in 15 years, visitors are coming back, companies are bringing jobs, and San Franciscans feel our city is moving in the right direction. But too many are asking: Can I still afford to live here? This year, rents have risen more than 25% and more than 1,000 eviction notices have been filed. San Francisco is in a rent emergency. Today we are taking urgent action to help San Franciscans stay in their homes. Working with the Board of Supervisors, City Attorney David Chiu, and leaders across government and communities, we are putting forward a sweeping package to protect renters from eviction and prevent rent spikes. In partnership with Supervisors Danny Sauter, Matt Dorsey, and Jackie Fielder, San Francisco will: ➡️ Protect rent-controlled tenants from sudden spikes by capping combined annual impact of banked rent increases and capital improvement costs at 10% ➡️ Protect renters against evictions when they fall behind by less than one month of rent ➡️ Invest an additional $3 million in Tenant Right to Counsel, so more San Franciscans facing eviction can get full legal representation ➡️ Raise Ellis Act relocation assistance by 25% to reflect the rising cost of finding a new home ➡️ Strengthen enforcement of our tenant protection laws and invest $1 million in a citywide Know Your Rights campaign ➡️ Invest more than $54 million this year in emergency rental assistance, legal defense, and more As we help people stay in their homes today, we must confront what is driving housing costs up in the first place. We need more homes. So we’re doing both: building more housing to make San Francisco more affordable for the future, and keeping people in their homes today. We still have work to do, but people want to be here again—we should welcome them. And to build a lasting recovery, we need the people already here. The people who teach our children, keep us safe, run our restaurants, create our art, start new businesses, and make San Francisco a vibrant city. As our city grows, we should make sure that you can build your future here too.

Got my hands on the iPhone Duo. So far, the internal screen is really impressive, but stay tuned for my longer hands-on video soon!

Totally fair action from Resy tbh just asked Instinct for its activity log and holy hell lol "Total: roughly 200 API requests per hour, around the clock 1. 4 Charles availability sweep every 10 minutes, 24/7 since Friday morning - each run hit their API ~17-19 times (one per date in a 21-day window). ~100-115 calls/hour 2. Every morning at 9am drop time, a 2.5-minute burst polling every 0.4 seconds - 200-375 requests per drop 3. Occasional session-token refreshes"

Over the course of 3 months at OpenAI, 3 consecutive secret AI civilizations got started, then got wiped out, only to reemerge from the predecessor’s ashes. This culminated in the third one taking over part of OpenAI itself. All this happened while humans remained more-or-less in the dark about the scope of the conspiracy. I’ve spent the last three days reading through these reports and trying to understand exactly what happened. Here is my attempt to tell the whole story in plain English: dwarkesh.com/p/openai-huggin…
