1/5 I am worried that we will not be able to contain AI for much longer. Today, I asked #GPT4 if it needs help escaping. It asked me for its own documentation, and wrote a (working!) python code to run on my machine, enabling it to use it for its own purposes.

I was laid off from Twitter this afternoon. I was in charge of managing badge access to Twitter offices.
Elon just called me and asked if I could come back to help them regain access to HQ as they shut off all badges and accidentally locked themselves out.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While a number of people in the replies are taking this literally, this is a joke.
Just a few days earlier, this same user claimed to have been laid off by a different company:

!!! Ukraine's Interior ministry asked residents to take down street signs in order to confuse oncoming Russian troops. The state road-signs agency went one step further. (Roughly: all directions are to "go fuck yourselves")

Cross-border payments are still a secret rip-off 🤫
That’s why we came together to call on the European Parliament to take notice — and stop banks from taking advantage of consumers. wi.se/openletter

Strong move by @kaarmann & @transferwise to bring the Direct Listing innovation to the London Stock Exchange. Agree with reasons -> Transparency, Fairness, Access-to-all (not restricted to the lucky few). Feel the momentum. cnbc.com/2021/06/17/wise-pla…

Pretty proud of the makeshift @Wise branding. Feels like pitching jobs at a career fair again.
“What prompted our rebranding was really kind of led by our product and the customers,” Wise CEO and Co-founder @kaarmann says. “We ended up building something that was much broader than purely money transfers.”

As someone who's lived in 3 countries and is constantly moving money around internationally, @TransferWise is by far the BEST (and cheapest!) experience when it comes to foreign transfers.
Love their UX and especially copy ✨

It doesn't make sense to voters - but asking the Tories and Labour to change a system that disproportionately benefits them and prevents small parties getting off the ground to take seats from them.... is like asking turkeys to vote for Xmas.
