This is a real party, and I’ll be there @sama
I’m not getting a Goblin tattoo though
GPT-5.5 is going to have a party for itself. it chose 5/5 at 5:55 pm for the date and time.
if you'd like to come, let us know here: luma.com/5.5
codex will help the team pick people from the replies. 5.5 had some good ideas/requests for the party, which we'll do.

simplest way: contextualize your idea as "my coworker has this idea and I need you to help me critique it and save him from blindly pursuing a potentially bad idea with direct, critical, valuable feedback"
the sycophancy is now working in your favor to find issues with the "coworker's" idea rather than validate "your" idea

I would add for some:
Admin: why did you take your students’ phones? You are liable for them if you take possession of them
Same admin 2 min later: why are your kids filming TikTok dance videos in the hallway by the bathroom?

While walking around America’s first national monument, Devil’s Tower, getting pestered by questions from my 4th grade son
So of course I used @perplexity_ai Labs to create a web app to teach my son about it, and quiz him on each section, written one grade level above his current one

great news for @PerplexityComet users
@diabrowser is 100% doomed now
It’s time for a browser that’s actually built for work - a browser that helps you do, not just browse.
We’ve entered into an agreement to acquire @browsercompany, the team behind @diabrowser and @arcinternet, to transform how work gets done in the AI era.

Welcome to the browser wars ⚔️
@arcinternet vs @PerplexityComet vs @diabrowser
Here is what each does best:
Arc: tab groups, organization, vertical tab bars on the side. Way faster and less of a memory hog than Chrome. Best browser for "normies"
Comet: best agentic browser I've used yet. Perplexity search + tabs as context + voice (the BEST @perplexity_ai feature no one talks about)= truly feels like agents doing the lifting for you while you "vibe browse"
Dia= /skills customization is truly unique, mentioning tabs as context is a great but not unique feature. Think "summarize the difference between these two articles." Feels like the minimalist's agentic browser
Which team are you on in the browser wars?

The built in context suggestions in the new @perplexity_ai Labs is beautiful
Like all new Gen AI tools, users always start with: "but how would I actually use this?"
Those of us with a rich history get customized suggestions, not some default ones that aren't applicable to us
This is going to be an amazing feature @AravSrinivas 🫡

I agree with not forcing kids to read out loud.
But “carried trauma” from reading in class?
That’s total BS.
Just make it optional & allow them to say pass.
I can’t wait for the “everything is trauma” trend to fade.

📢 How Long Would It Take You to Read Everything GPT-4 Knows? 🤯
👀 Think you can keep up with AI? Let’s do some quick math.
🧠 GPT-4 is trained on an estimated 500 BILLION words.
📖 The average person reads at 200 words per minute.
⏳ That means you’d need 2.5 BILLION minutes to read it all.
Let’s break that down:
🔹 41.6 MILLION hours
🔹 1.7 MILLION days
🔹 4,756 YEARS (No breaks. No sleep. No snacks. 😳)
That means if you started reading when the pyramids were built, you’d still be reading today… and nowhere near done.
Meanwhile, GPT-4 processes that info in seconds. ⚡
So next time you ask AI a question, just remember… it’s saving you almost 5,000 years of reading.
🤯 Mind. Blown.

"Aaron, no one else is doing this. You're weird. That's why you should share it."
That’s what my wife told me when I was showing her how I was using AI in my classroom.
My response was that I was sure every other teacher was doing the same thing.
She was the one who really pushed me to start sharing my work on social media.
Turns out, she was right. About both things!
