TO WHAT END SIR

Tweet from Andy Fang (@andyfang) with a DoorDash logo next to his name. The tweet reads: “Coming soon… @DoorDash integration with @OpenAI’s ChatGPT. We’re eager to explore how it can make discovering and ordering from local businesses even more seamless.”  Below the text, there’s an image showing a phone screen mockup. The interface displays “ChatGPT 5” at the top and a chat bubble that says: “DoorDash is entering the chat soon.” followed by “Getting your order ready 🧺.” The time on the phone shows 9:41, and a small “GIF” label appears at the bottom left. The tweet timestamp reads 6:57 AM · Oct 8, 2025 · 623K Views.

Sauron wasn't expecting the one ring's will to dominate drama

A social media post from The Verge with the caption “OpenAI wasn’t expecting Sora’s copyright drama.” The attached image shows a cowboy standing on horseback in a wide green valley with mountains and blue sky in the background. It appears to be a still from a video generated by OpenAI’s Sora.

@Daojoan It's always easy to predict calamity. If you're wrong you can always say aren't you glad I was wrong. If you're right you get to say I told you so.

RE: mastodon.social/@Daojoan/11533

So true! And I say that as someone who used to be very cynical myself.

Now I try to be the one who propose solutions. And now I see the effect the cynics have on me. It's heavy! 🙁

Cynicism is the only worldview that guarantees you’ll never be wrong -
because you’ll never risk being right.

The cynic always wins the argument.

And loses everything else.
