I am redoing my IKEA cabinet and need some advice. The tape is temporary to keep things off the wood. The walls are currently carved foam covered with silicone and substrate. I don’t really like the way they look and I’m trying to figure out what to do next so they look better. I think I would like moss or vines but I’m not sure how to do it. I am open to suggestions. Any input would be appreciated!

Reuters is reporting, citing The Information, that the Trump administration asked OpenAI to stagger the release of GPT-5.6 over security concerns.

The part that stood out to me was the reported access structure: limited preview, small group of partners, and government approval “customer by customer” during the preview period.

Whether or not this becomes a broader policy pattern, it seems like a pretty big governance signal. Frontier model launches may be moving away from normal software-release logic and toward something closer to managed security rollouts: limited access, staged release, customer review, and government visibility.

For companies building on top of frontier models, the practical lesson seems boring but important: don’t treat “latest model access” as a stable dependency. Track which workflows depend on which model, whether that access is GA/beta/preview/partner-only, and what the fallback is if access changes.

I wrote up the AI governance angle here:

Curious what people here think: is this a one-off for a sensitive model preview, or the beginning of a new normal for frontier AI?
