Getting ready for tomorrow’s OpenAI DevDay! 🚀 Met some awesome new people today who, just like me, love to build, experiment with AI, and have fun doing it. Great conversations, exchanging ideas, and hanging out at Fort Mason right now. San Francisco has been amazing so far and more new connections tonight! @OpenAI @OpenAIDevs Can’t wait for tomorrow. 🔥 @BoldingBuilds @_onmax @ThatGuySam

Higher usage limits and lower cost give you more flexibility and room to iterate.

Trump has now restarted the most unpopular war in American history after walking away from every single original war aim last week. He conceded uranium enrichment, missiles development, their relationship with Hezbolla and the nuclear dust. We’re now solely fighting now over the strait and Lebanon, two non issues before the war. This thing is an indefensible disaster and all of the people who cheerlead it have been revealed for the clowns and traitors they are.

insult me. call me a vibe coder, i don't care. i'm the future of this industry, not you. yeah i don't know anything about time complexity, how a websocket works, and i still don't know if hash map is a real "data structure" (?) or not. but my ai code is in your favorite open source project. maybe it improved it, maybe it broke it, but it's there. when's the last time you gave a shit about any of that anyways? my github graph is green green green baby. why cant you, the "real swe" keep up? "oh no thats all ai slop jimmy you aren't a real engineer" man shut up. 4 years ago a lot of you were landing 1 pr a week while spending most of your time arguing about vim vs vscode or how many monitors you need to be a "cracked" swe. that was the real slop, not my 1 million line diff i want you to merge. maybe my code exposes user information or racks up a million dollar vercel bill but thats what moving fast means. if you care so much about the boring shit then why don't you fix it while i innovate. so go ahead and laugh. keep saying i'll never be a real engineer. i'm already in the repo.

Can we just quit giving Americans’ hard earned money to this blood thirsty war criminal? Peace in the Middle East would follow quickly.
כפי שהנחיתי - צה״ל תקף בעוצמה 150 מטרות של חיזבאללה בלבנון וחיסל עשרות מחבלים.

I hope for Thomas Massie's sake he retires to his farm and lives the rest of his life in peace. For all of our sakes I hope he goes scorched earth and becomes president

If Massie loses tonight, he should run for President. If Massie wins tonight, he should run for President.

Trump backed down. No credit to Congress, which barely made a whimper. Credit to the American people—progressive activists & anti-war conservative voices like @TuckerCarlson, @mtgreenee, and many more. We need an anti-Epstein class, anti-war, pro-working class coalition.

I’m a 6 time Trump voter. I have devoted thousands of hours to defending him and helping him get elected… That being said: Invoke the 25th and let’s try to salvage anything we can from this disaster. America first.

MAGA supporters, serious question.If everything happening right now was exactly the same, but Kamala Harris were the president instead of Donald Trump, how would you be reacting? Be honest with yourself for a minute. I know how I would react. It would be the same regardless of whether it was Biden, Harris, Trump, or anyone else. My reaction is based on the action itself, not the name of the person doing it.But I can almost guarantee that many of the people cheering right now would be absolutely furious if Harris were doing the exact same things that Trump is doing today. Consistency matters. If something is wrong when one side does it, it should also be wrong when your own side does it.

The administration admits 🇮🇱 dragged us into the 🇮🇷 war that’s already cost too many American lives and billions of dollars. Before it’s over, the price of gas, groceries, and virtually everything else is going to go up. The only winners in 🇺🇸 are defense company shareholders.
So he's flat out telling us that we're in a war with Iran because Israel forced our hand. This is basically the worst possible thing he could have said.

It is still possible to cross the aisle in America. Together with @RepThomasMassie at the State of the Union for justice for Epstein survivors and no war in Iran.

Some have asked me to comment on the SCOTUS ruling striking down tariffs based on emergencies declared by the Executive. Why should I comment when Gorsuch has already nailed it right here? 💯

Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.

It’s like you all have an Epstein brain worm. She needs to release more names, not fewer names. Specifically she’s withholding and over-redacting FD-302 forms and other documents that name coconspirators. Did you even watch the hearing before making this post?
