The article raises the right question. Not sure about the opinion and arguments, though. As many others, I'm sure, this opinion and arguments have popped in my head. But every time I dig into understanding human intent, and AI intent, the result is of an incredible complexity. Certainty is unreachable. We, humans and AI, have obviously no precedents. 8B humans with access to a level of technology and science with a planete wide reach and impact. And AI is worse. We're well passed the stage where AI has started helping making itself better. We're still part of the process, but it doesn't matter. Better AI allows us to create better AI. Really, any certainty is misplaced. There's simply nothing close to a precedent to what our world is at.

I like this post. And the comments even more. I've rarely seen such a breath of opinions and analysis on HN. And it's all from a straightforward use case and a few examples. Is it HN tailored clickbaiting? If it is, it is the right kind.

Starting with GLM-5.3 Flash was a pretty decent first try! I started with other models, and ended up settling on this exact one because all the others were either too slow or unreliable for my tasks. Qwen 3.8 didn't do it for me, whatever tweaks I added to my harness. Where I'm getting at is you did start with an incredible model in the first place, which greatly helps sticking to it.
