I wrote something up for AI people who want to get into bluesky and either couldn't assemble an exciting feed or gave up doomscrolling when their Following feed switched to talking politics 24/7.

A company that believed it was in the verge of AGI or ASI wouldn’t capitulate to the government because it wouldn’t care about government contracts. They would soon BE the economy and the government would soon be capitulating to them.
The administration “is currently pressuring OpenAI and other AI companies to make their models more conservative-friendly.”
OpenAI is trying to clamp down on ‘bias’ in ChatGPT
GPT-5 is better at resisting liberal ‘pressure,’ the company says.

When reading AI reasoning text (aka CoT), we (humans) form a narrative about the underlying computation process, which we take as a transparent explanation of model behavior. But what if our narratives are wrong? We measure that and find it usually is.

I had no idea solar was booming like this. And if you live in the same world as me, dominated by oil & gas guys maintaining that solar and wind are inefficient gimmicks, you might not've known some of this either.
