Yeah, when it becomes cool to be anti AI or anti anything in HN for that matter, the takes start becoming ridiculous, if you just think back a couple of years, or even months ago and where we're now and you can't see it, I guess you're just dead set on dying on that hill.

4 years ago people were amazed when you could get GPT-3 to make 4-chan greentexts. Now people are unimpressed when GPT-5 codes a working language learning app from scratch in 2 minutes.

  Oh a working language learning app? Like one of the hundreds that have been shown on HN in the past 3 years? But only demonstrated to be some generic single word translation game?

  Yeah except I already could do the same with Qwen-coder-30b on my laptop a week ago.

I'm extremely pro AI, it's what I work on all day for a living now, and I don't see how you can deny there is some justification for people being so cynical. This is not the happy path for gpt-5. The table in the model card where every model in the current drop down somehow maps to one of the 6 variants of gpt-5 is not where most people thought we would be today. The expectation was consolidation on a highly performant model, more multimodal improvements, etc. This is not terrible, but I don't think anyone who's an "accelerationist" is looking at this as a win. Update after some testing: This feels like gpt-4.1o and gpt-o4-pro got released and wrapped up under a single model identifier.
