Good one!

"We can say categorically that it is impossible for Dr. Buckmaster’s Codex prompts over the last two months to have influenced the system in any way, including training."

This is the third day of total hysteria that is based on nothing of substance. Move on folks.

Clearly not what he was saying

Fair enough. Hivemind, mass effect, happy to have a replacement word in this case.

I don't believe HN boosts their algo but I think people recognize posters like celebs. I recognize tosh, simonw, etc.

Also it's an easy way to farm karma. The pelican guy posted a pelican, let's upvote it? It's at least a bit of psychosis / mass effect in this.

For what it's worth, I like the pelicans but just making an observation

I think it is fair to expect the companies to stick by their demarcation

API / enterprise subs tier is default opt out of training. Personal subsidized tier is default opt in with the option to to opt out.

I don't see a grand conspiracy beyond this.

He is in the HN ingroup of whenever he posts a blog, a prominent HN mod or poster with 1 billion karma will inevitably post it, and so it goes.

It's sort of like the music industry.

Time to repeat the same angry mob style discussion again. Great job to the mods.

You are just overthinking it. This place is now a Claude blog and anti OpenAI site.

I'm getting downvoted but the accusation was that OAI employees were maligning Tristan Buckmaster. I continue to not see a single sighting of this and whoever is trying to gaslight this should be ashamed and should not be able to vote on HN.

Haven't seen a single post doing this on X or anywhere really from OAI employees. Only seen knives pointed at Sebastian on social media so this is extreme and shameful gaslighting.

Amazing how history rhymes

You really lack reading comprehension

I've been right historically, check my track record. How about you?

This thread is full of jumping to conclusions based on a biased perspective. Have some humility.

Yes, but only if you take this one sided statement at face value.

You've jumped to a naive conclusion

The word "stories" in your sentence is very instructive

This thread is certainly achieving Apple's PR goals

This is way overstated.

OpenAI will certainly launch devices. It is to be seen how competitive they are and how much product market fit they achieve.

OpenAI also has better data retention policies relative to Anthropic on SOTA models.

You've overstated the conclusion. The SWE-bench series has had issues since its inception.

OpenAI no longer recommends SWE-Bench-Pro as a benchmark: https://openai.com/index/separating-signal-from-noise-coding...

Codex app is a much different experience than CC CLI. I would try it out for a couple days with the new model suite and see what you prefer after that.

1.1 seems a lot better than the original release, which was a bit hyperbolic. excited to see the team keep iterating.

bigger doesn't mean better, chill out

On point 1 - I think unions have dramatic political power in America. Corporations have both political power and economic resources. I generally think unions don't lose to corporations because of lack of power. I don't think that corporations vs. workers is currently a fair fight. To your point, my phrasing doesn't make that clear.

Prop 22 is strongly linked with AB5 - the entire push was by union leaders and the leaders of both AB5 and No on 22 (e.g. Lorena Gonzalez) regularly tweet things like "#AB5IntoAUnion."

I actually think there is no currently effective system. I believe in collective bargaining, but I just think that unions as a tool have become increasingly concerned with political representation and political power rather than worker representation. Using AB5 as a case study, there are virtually n=0 freelancers in California (incl. myself) that are happy with the law. It's a universally despised policy by workers and businesses alike, loved by unions...

No.

Messaging and planning that focuses more on pay / hr., PTO / break time, better working conditions rather than voicing support for an ambiguous notion of "solidarity" and purely political things like support for Palestine

I think the disentanglement is fairly simple.

If you want to improve conditions for workers, just say that you want to improve pay / $hr, increase break time by x min, and define xyz working conditions and have a detailed plan to support that. I've personally seen 0 unions pursue this approach... but have seen plenty advocate support for completely unrelated, purely political topics (e.g. voicing support for Palestine)
