The Broadway legend says what she wants, no matter the subject. The best example?
She famously yelled at a patron during the pandemic for not wearing a mask mid-performance.
She also has said horrible things about Christians and a certain two-term president. More on that in a moment.
All of the above didn’t derail her professional career (nor should it). Now, after a curious series of comments found in a New Yorker profile, she could get booted from the upcoming Tony Awards gala.
The Broadway diva disinvited on her own turf? Inconceivable!
Read the whole thing, which includes LuPone comparing conservative Christians to Islamic terrorists, and calling for “the Kennedy Center to be ‘blown up’ due to its connection to the Trump administration,” both of which “unexpectedly” produced crickets from her fellow leftists.
Thanks to the legal discovery process, Google’s antitrust trial with the Department of Justice has provided a fascinating glimpse into the future of ChatGPT.
An internal OpenAI strategy document titled “ChatGPT: H1 2025 Strategy” describes the company’s aspiration to build an “AI super assistant that deeply understands you and is your interface to the internet.” Although the document is heavily redacted in parts, it reveals that OpenAI aims for ChatGPT to soon develop into much more than a chatbot.
“In the first half of next year, we’ll start evolving ChatGPT into a super-assistant: one that knows you, understands what you care about, and helps with any task that a smart, trustworthy, emotionally intelligent person with a computer could do,” reads the document from late 2024. “The timing is right. Models like 02 and 03 are finally smart enough to reliably perform agentic tasks, tools like computer use can boost ChatGPT’s ability to take action, and interaction paradigms like multimodality and generative UI allow both ChatGPT and users to express themselves in the best way for the task.”
The document goes on to describe a “super assistant” as “an intelligent entity with T-shaped skills” for both widely applicable and niche tasks. “The broad part is all about making life easier: answering a question, finding a home, contacting a lawyer, joining a gym, planning vacations, buying gifts, managing calendars, keeping track of todos, sending emails.” It mentions coding as an early example of a more niche task.
Even when reading around the redactions, it’s clear that OpenAI sees hardware as essential to its future, and that it wants people to think of ChatGPT as not just a tool, but a companion. This tracks with Sam Altman recently saying that young people are using ChatGPT like a “ life advisor.”
It’s real, and spectacularly idiotic; we linked to this insane HuffPost article on July 4th of last year.
Given that Biden was a desiccated husk of a man by 2024, why didn’t his handlers attempt to build a younger, more vigorous version in time for the reelection by cloning his nose?
But it's not accurate. Its based of a model and that model is intentionally flawed in order to be as extreme and hyperbolic as possiblehttps://t.co/qWfDJUbloV
HAHA. BUT SMARMY WORDS ARE FREE AND THAT’S ALL THEY HAVE TO OFFER.
How about if France provides a guarantee of "disarmament of terrorist organizations" by paying Israel $100 million every time an Israeli is killed by terrorists from the "demilitarized state?" If the terrorist groups are really disarmed and the state demilitarized, France should… https://t.co/o3I7Kz79Si
