What’s novel is how fast and cheap Jev is while maintaining quality. If they’re trying to say they made the same thing, that is likely incorrect. Getting the same result 100x faster is in fact a breakthrough technology.

> Who cares how the LLM learned to hack things? Doesn't really change the facts of what happened. Seems like a pretty clear and succinct argument. If your only counter is to complain about tone, you’re losing.

Whether the terms are worth shit doesn't matter. If they're training on data from paying customers who have requested otherwise and it gets out (which it would, eventually), SAP, Accenture, Deloitte and other huge companies with

That then leads to a cat and mouse chase, and in the end the big corporations will win by forcing you to tie your real identity to your shopping identity, which won’t turn off enough consumers to meaningfully impact the bottom line.

After 5.1, we haven’t seen a -codex-max model, presumably because the benefits of the special training gpt-5.1-codex-max got to improve long context work filtered into gpt-5.2-codex, making the variant no longer necessary (my personal exper

They hate it because no one is providing them with a credible thesis for how we get from working jobs we hate to the sort of “free from labor” utopia you envision. Like, my aunt just lost the job she had for 33 years working at an insurance

I never understand these critiques. If something is useful and you’re selling it, does that mean any technical document describing its usefulness becomes marketing? I guess maybe, but then do those documents lose value as technical document

VS Code wouldn’t have won the mid-2010s editor wars if it was closed source (note that VS Code has not helped MS ramp people up to VS itself). The winner of that war was always going to be an open source editor, it was just Microsoft whose

If you’re concerned about the economic impact, then whether a model is AGI or not doesn’t matter. It really is more of a philosophical thing. There’s no “gap that becomes truly zero” at which point special consequences happen. By the time w

OK sure, but you’d better hope Claude Code gets it right on the first try, or that’s $200 down the drain. Also, what if the detection mechanism involves a challenge-response that happens once a week? Or randomly a couple times a month? Or a

Speaking as a fellow job-displacement-worrier, I don’t think people have answers. But contrary to what a lot of people say, there is a ton of utility in pointing out a problem without having a solution. In this case, I think a lot of people

Last night I tried out Opus 4.6 on a personal project involving animating in Gaussian Splats where the final result is output as a video. In the past, AI coding agents could usually reason about the code well enough that they had a good cha

The answer to “which coding agent should we standardise on?” is really simple: Don’t. The tradeoffs of the different models are complicated and difficult to wrap your head around, and if you have the resources to try a bunch and form a conc

OpenClaw uses Opus 4.5, but was written by Codex. Pete Steinberger has been pretty a pretty hardcore Codex fan since he switched off Claude Code back in September-ish. I think he just felt Claude would make a better basis for an assistant e

What’s weird though is that modern OSes often auto-capitalize the first letter of a sentence, so it actually takes more effort to deliberately type in all-lowercase.

So I get that stablecoins are less volatile than normal crypto, which makes them more acceptable as a currency for funding. But what is it about them that takes them from “acceptable” to “appealing”? Aren’t they basically just “USD but with

I frequently push back on people being hair-trigger about calling things AI, but even I’ve gotta admit, that’s exactly what Claude code says if you ask it to do a security review and it finds something. I’ve seen this numerous times.

At the moment I’m kind of just excited that this way of orchestrating works at all, and in the process of refining it I’ll probably have it build a couple more “browsers”. But yeah, once I’ve got a setup I’m happy with, I totally plan to go
