1. 800 million weekly actives, but as we found out from OpenAI's study, they don't attempt to deduplicate logged-out users.
2. They said 3 million developers "built with OpenAI" a year ago, is 4 million really that great, especially considering GPT-5?

techcrunch.com/2024/10/01/o...

As OpenAI undergoes yet another C-suite overhaul – a reminder of the turmoil following last year’s DevDay – the company is trying to convince developers that it still offers the best platform to build AI apps on. Leaders say the startup has more than 3 million developers building with its AI models, but OpenAI is operating in an increasingly competitive space.

Starmer does not 'give a toss' about the sick, pensioners or poorer families living on these Isles either. The man is nothing but a vile traitor to humanity!

So Keir Starmer accuses people of protesting against his governments complicity in Israels genocide of being "unBritish"

What the UK govt is doing is exploiting the synagogue attack to attack & ban protests against the genocide they’re complicit in.

You want to fix the ACA? Easy.

Strip Congress of their diamond public health plans and pay them the median American income: $41,400 a year.

No insider trading, no perks, and dock every vacation day after seven.

Watch how fast they fix healthcare then.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

Two years of genocide...

Every night is the same, relentless bombing that never slows... a stream of martyrs... the moans of the wounded never cease... starvation, deprivation, and blockade.

#Felon47 started talking about reopening Alcatraz after watching the Birdman of Alcatraz - he ordered the National Guard in to stop protests in Portland after watching 5-year-old news clips on #Pox-News.

If he watches The Pedophile Hunter on Netflix - he might release the #Trumpstein-Files #Pedo47
