Both companies offer "MAX" or "PRO" plans - and the best models were available to those customers. This new wave of "It's too dangerous for the public" is a new initiative from both companies. I agree with

To me, they're selling the "power" of their product by mentioning the danger. "It's TOO powerful to even release yet!" Whether or not that level of power exists, that is definitely how they're pitching it.

If a model can take a series of increasingly complex instructions and satisfy the requirements without human intervention, we can pretty easily decide how well overall the model does. And, judging better models just means adding more requir

Where do you think that white collar workers will go in this maximalist AI disruption premise? My guess is directly to the skilled trades + healthcare. Probably opting for the highest paid positions first and working their way downwards as

It's been difficult to do, but I have recently picked up the habit of scrolling directly past the AI overview. It's not what I wanted, so it's useless to me (regardless of whether or not it's correct). I wanted search re

Cmon - cursor has been out for like 3.5 years at this point. AI was still in its infancy but it was definitely able to complete tasks, albeit smaller ones. Not disputing the overall trajectory, yeah it’s gotten better. But it was definitely

We are at the point where AI starts to seriously impact abilities. Sure, a 2 line CSS fix is the solution, but the human “behind the wheel” has already prompted 6 times and gotten 80% there. It’s been “easy” thus far. No shot they are going

From my perspective, everyone is doing it. Security through obscurity - obviously if you’re harboring credit card numbers of users personal details, maybe take heed. But, if you’re a regular… run of the mill CRUD application, every other co

We have an instance where the non-tech team has started building tooling for themselves (because the technical team is overburdened with work). Essentially a small application idea that interfaces with the larger system. It was POC built in

Hah. What a dream. Instead they’ll hire a team of what is essentially interns and have them deploy mass amounts of minuscule features with 0 guidance because, “hey - it’s cheap as hell and does 75% of what it’s supposed to do.” A license to

I'm also a little hesitant to accept that this is the future. Why build excel with someone in house? It'll probably take at least a few weeks to build it, and now they need to maintain a spreadsheet platform in house??? Google she

This concept is so funny to me. Would love a toggle switch... "Oh yeah, just go to Settings > Bugs Enabled and turn OFF text display errors"

I’m not on one side or the other, but I feel that it’s incredible that we are in the timeline where we argue that we have synthesized consciousness. That we are even discussing it is absolutely wild to me.

Believe it or not, after writing this comment I was doing some more reading on the task. I'm planning to reorganize our context repo after finding this paper (it argues that AI generated context files can stunt the performance of model

Depends on the person. I find that it's extremely satisfying to figure out a tricky problem on the way to that end result - to struggle with something for a bit, then finally fix it or fully wrap my head around it. So to me, it's

We run a "context" repository that enables us to transition pretty seamlessly from model to model (usually codex to claude and back). It has skills / plugins / connectors / tooling in relatively malleable MD files.

I'm in a similar boat - it's hard to measure, but let's say you pay an engineer 150K. Giving them a tool that costs 15K a year is effectively a 10% increase in that expense. If we were seeing 3X, 5X etc improvement from indiv

1500/Mo per engineer is such a small price considering the base salary of these employees, Maybe Uber knows something we don't (the 5X engineering ROI isn't there for them?). Judging the ROI of an engineer is hard. Adding AI

I’m in a similar boat. I find that longer sessions will introduce “noise”. I have to be extremely explicit to avoid adding this noise, as it pollutes the future output of the models. Sometimes it’s innocuous, other times it can derail sessi

You chose shoes as your comparison point. Using two symbols of technology: AI (advanced modern technology) Shoes (cheap, basic materials) You were saying the following, in essence, no? "My grandfather got shoes and was happy, new kids

While I mostly agree - science is built up on truths. Code has a large amount of creativity and freedom built into the decisions, some codebases will be documented, follow rigorous training, and design decisions. Others will just be an abso

How refreshing it is to see an old school “find line X in file Y and insert this snippet of code” style tutorial. That’s how I got my start, at least. Minecraft mods, specifically - figuring out how to tweak those little behind the scenes
