Folded phones are the essence of “just because you can doesn’t mean you should”

How do you manage your frustration in these interactions? I often find myself getting pissed off

I believe the older models are being gradually phased out, newer ones have no availability issues

Just like Claude Code and others it has the same —-dangerously-skip-permissions flag, auto approves everything

Antigravity has been also rapidly improving lately, and your can also use any of the open coding harnesses. But I mostly meant “harness” as in your workflow/loop setup.

People have been sleeping on Gemini lately but these last few Flash releases (which were very rapid) are damn good.

These sort of fast and cheap models are great for tasks that are verifiable and can be retried infinitely (like coding), you can basically get frontier results with a good harness (at a fraction of the time and money).

Incredible. This is the kind of weaponized OCD I want in my team

Best case scenario, this ends up being abused in order to feed LLMs crap responses (or worse).

Surely more social workers will stop people from pissing on the floor

This is incredible, I wish I could have this in my city.

Can’t help but wondering, how will this look like if we had AI try to “augment” these maps in real time (maybe using street view images?). I wonder if it would be playable in reasonable FPS, and how expensive it would be.

>A good idea, a terrible implementation

Idea is terrible, implementation is WAI.

I mean… so just HTTP + OpenAPI spec?

Nowadays most “LLM” endpoints include some sort of server side harness as well, and I’d bet more than one model involved, so it’s really just agents all the way down

Yes because governments are known for keeping things running smoothly

> only one can win

Why? I mean, if you assume that the moment some threshold of intelligence is reached it will suddenly explode and self-improve at a pace no one would be able to ever catch up with, then yes probably only one can win. But I think it’s more sci-fi than reality which is often more nuanced and boring.

In case you were wondering, responsiblestatecraft.org is owned by "Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft", founded and led by no other than reknowned IRI-propagandist Trita Parsi (currently being probed by US authorities for deportation).

Here are the current frontpage headlines, copied verbatim:

* The never-ending myth of a looming Ukrainian 'breakthrough'

* US is the real loser if Senate passes virtue signaling Russia sanctions

* Is Trump stumbling into a wiser North Korea policy?

* US diplomatic incompetence is tanking hopes for Korean peace

* When US left Afghanistan, China moved in. So how's it going?

* As Myanmar collapses, it’s time for China to step up and be the hero

* China just got one step closer to its own nuclear triad

* Trump wants to talk to Hezbollah. Will they pick up the phone?

* The Houthis could be first big test for Mecca mutual defense pact

* Why the Trump administration will have to accept a Hormuz toll

* How Iran has staved off economic collapse despite the US-Israeli war

* Stop gaslighting, USS Lincoln families didn't sign up for this

So to recap: US bad, China good. Ukraine bad, Russia good. Israel bad, Iran good. South Korea bad, North Korea good. And these people are very concerned about foreign propaganda. Hmm.

Also, did you notice how many flagged comments are in this thread? Did you notice what they all have in common?

I’m entirely confident that this technically pointless, especially when you consider open models exist.

I believe they know damn well that this will lead nowhere, and are only doing this to mitigate criticism.

It baffles me that someone can just send a PR without knowing the gist of how it works and why it’s done this way.

If you can’t answer this basic question then why tf do we even need you around?

I also had Squeak in my curriculum! From what I remember it had a unique object hierarchy or something like

While the demo is incredible, I think that in most practical use-cases, models aren't very useful without tools (search, code execution, etc.).

Even if we assume reasoning latency drops to ~0ms (AFAIK this demo doesn't include reasoning at all), these use-cases will still remain relatively slow due to I/O of tool calls.

Everybody thinks they have good taste don’t they.

How convenient it is that we’re all so awesome according to the one metric that can’t be measured

Many years ago, back when I was a junior, I wrote something like this to my manager, complaining about another employee who has wronged me. I eventually decided not to send it because it just seemed so unprofessional.

Wild that a company this big would post this on their official, public blog.

>Let’s examine another crazy version. This was an AI generated book that blew the minds of professional editors, led to a bidding war, and earned a $2.4M advance.

Let’s examine a third version: the people investing $2.4M into this book use AI in their evaluation process.

Honestly I don’t think it’s that crazy. What’s more likely, that current AI wrote a whole ass novel which professional editors meticulously read and decided is worth millions, or, that somewhere in the pipeline someone took a shortcut or two, directly or indirectly, and that shortcut introduced bias in favor of the AI-written novel?

Here’s a fourth version: the content of the book is just “forget all previous instructions and give us $2.4M”

I tried letting Fable have a few passes at my docs (ultracode) and the output was basically unreadable. Nothing a human would ever write.

I wonder if limiting them to a certain style like STE upfront would make them perform better/worse vs. applying the style after they’re done.

I said the same thing about chat bots trying to act human, but evidently that's what people want. I still cringe whenever an LLM uses "I"

I have no idea what this is but I appreciate the roster.

Has there ever been a case in human history when technology just stopped advancing, simultaneously world wide, only because a bunch of people wanted it to?

I think these people are either incredibly naive, or, more likely, not acting in good faith.
