I've been seeing someone on Tiktok that appears to be one of the first public examples of AI psychosis, and after this update to GPT-5, the AI responses were no longer fully feeding into their delusions. (Don't worry, they switched to Claude, which has been far worse!)

I didn't realize that I was supposed to get to 0, but just trying to get as many words as possible. I got down to 'a' and reset, it would be nice if just getting to a 1 letter word prompted the win state.

This also works on Slack profile pictures if you want to be extra obnoxious!

This is sick! Is it using an LLM's photo detection to determine if it is a picture of touching grass?

I recently added all of my most distracting apps to the Hidden section on iPhone. It requires a FaceID check to even see the apps, and blocks all notifications from them. It has helped me cut down on the scroll-time significantly.

I disagree on both points:

1. The color is BBBBY

2. The lettering has the same 3D block polygonal font as Super Mario 64, with some stylization

So uh, don't try to make the jump from the pink elevator to the solitary pink cube on the last level. If you make it, you're stuck there forever! (I thought it would be a skill jump to an easter egg)

You forgot to add a link about the accused archivist, here's an article[0] about her denial of any connection to the group. (One of their arguments is that she has a github account named "anarchivist", which is a pretty sick name)

My dog never responds to barking sounds in shows / movies, but when I played the spectrogram one he went wild. Anyone have an idea of what makes it different?

Out of curiosity what was your list price? I’ve been starting to collect (got a Mac IIsi with a portrait monitor a few months back) and would be interested in getting a MessagePad in working condition

They were holding $17m in funds and only paid 2 unnamed security auditors?

Yes, getting a proper audit for a Defi Protocol is expensive (probably 8 person weeks at $20-30k/week or ~$200k), and every good audit firm has a 3-6 month waiting period. But when you’ve got 100x that to lose, it’s a drop in the bucket.

The 3 ETH was the gas fees for the transactions. (Some went to deploying the attacking contract, some went to contract interactions afterwards.)

With a flash loan, the funds must be returned by the end of the transaction, or the transaction fails. This makes the completion of the transaction the collateral, as if it fails at any point, all transactions (including the loan) get reverted.
