Don't worry, now we're about to completely lose touch too: Now you'll just talk to an AI and take its word for having done what you wanted :)

The photos on that article are nice inspiration for some pseudo-steampunk/vacuumpunk stuff.

> their godlike AI will figure that out?

Maybe it could if they stop crippling it so much

(Opus 5.5 thought a user was trying to hack it because their prompt contained the word "reasoning")

A true Lovecraftian knows Cthulhu is small fry on the grand scale of multidimensional things :)

Oh we're down to gas names now?

Goshdarnit they didn't see my suggestion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49899171

Why when we can just say "use simple words"?

Apparently they already have "Aeon" in the pipeline.

Then they could probably move to proper nouns: Sagittarius, Andromeda..

Thankfully they invented another war soon after to ""iNvEsT"" all that good!

Also in some languages without letter case though

Wait till you learn that earth means the planet and also the ground

Theory (Conjecture? Hypothesis?): What we notice as "model nerfing" is the company diverting compute to training/running new unreleased models..

Remember that some people get access to the next flagship version long before us peasants do. I recall seeing the mention of "Astra" more than a month before it was officially announced

One day I still plan to figure out M.U.L.E.

Nothing currently, but most recently, the various audiobooks of The Wind in the Willows to fall asleep, and Diana Wynne Jones' (of Howl's Moving Castle fame) Chrestomanci series while awake.

Boy wait till you find out where "opus" comes from.. Do you realize how many words from Latin you used in that comment?

When was the last time you heard anybody say "opus" or "sonnet" before this?

Also it implies that "haikus" are inherently inferior to longer texts which may be kinda frown-inducing..

"Ad Astra" my guy. "To The Stars"

Many of which are thiccer than our beta ass sun

Pretty badass name tbh

If that holds then the ultimate model must be called Urmom

I like it. It's cool and better than Opus, Fable, Sonnet etc.

Like who can figure out the ordering? With Luna < Terra < Sol < Astra it's obvious at a glance.

I propose for some third company to name after monsters: Cyclops < Minotaur < Ettin < Cerberus < Hydra < Kraken < Nyarlathotep (the AGI singularity stage)

Maybe they're a Chinese AI car?

Maybe they're trying to milk as much as they can before open-weight models cause the prices to come crashing down?

What they'll do to LLMs. Keep up

Why make a new account just to post this comment?

It's not even anything controversial..

> The newer Googlebook range uses more powerful processors than their predecessors, plus a new OS called Googlebook OS … $899

Gobbledegook. Planned obsolescence? This is accelerated obsolescence!

Why would anyone go for that instead of a MacBook Neo or even an iPad?

Maybe they should try replacing some of their product managers with AI

So is iOS

Hell, frickin watchOS 27 Siri on my Ultra 3 can't set a timer because "the Clock app isn't installed on this device" ...????

and 2027 was supposed to be a "polishing" release.

When will we start seeing the benefits of all the smart AI coding shit they've supposedly rented from Anthropic? 2030?

The ads ~~industry~~ racket is a cancer upon civilization.

This shit needs to be stamped down by law.

People take up pitchforks and torches against AI data centers,

well how much time, money, and resources have been wasted on advertisements over the centuries?

How many people, including children, have been deceived by ads?

How much privacy has been violated in the name of "sErViNg YoU rElEvAnT aDs"?

Have you ever tried browsing YouTube from a poor connection, and noticed how long it takes to serve ads? How much bandwidth has been wasted on ads so far?

Who[m] does it all benefit?

That's pretty spot on.

But in the past 1 or so years, apart from internal tools, has anyone one-shotted an actual product that's actually being used by many people?

Hexagons are bestagons

(apparently a city based on a hexagonal grid would be more efficient)

The West is gonna over-regulate itself while China is like lol hippity hoppity I'm coming for the singularity

It's a shame that YouTubers have dumbed down AI reviews into just "one shotting" random shit that not even they're going to use or play again more than once or twice.

You're not gonna one-shot a full, actual product.

You still have to design the individual elements individually.

Like when trying different models and prompts to generate posters for a hypothetical game, I had to generate a standalone logo first, meticulously and carefully.

You can't just throw them a prompt saying “Make a poster with this and that for a game called MYGAMENAME.”

Even if you have a genie AI you need the darn logo on its own to be able to reuse it elsewhere.

Similarly you can't just say "Make a fighting game with 900 characters”; you're gonna have to design each individual character on its own.

  Writers disagree on what effect word processing will have on the quality of our written language.

  Some writers are concerned that computer assistance may promote dry bland writing.

Never. Added that prayer
