My reading in between the lines is OpenAI's "GPT-5" is really a GPT-4 generation model. And this is aligned with it being unimpressive. Not the promised leap forward Altman promised.

OpenAI was founded to hedge against Google dominating AI and with it the future. It makes me sad how that was lost for pipe dreams (AGI) and terrible leadership. I fear a Google dystopia. I hope DeepSeek or somebody else will counter-balanc

Indeed. Why do people follow these clowns? They seem to read high level takes and spew out their nonsense theories. They fail to mention Google's edge: Inter-Chip Interconnect and the allegedly 1/3 of price. Then they talk about s

The tech sector in UK/EU is bad, too. And the cost of living in big cities is terrible for the salaries. They are outsourcing just as much as US Big Tech. And never mind the slow-mo economic collapse of UK, France, and Germany.

No, I mean dishonest. When people gang up to push each other's blogs/startups/whatever, it's dishonest. When political groups organize to mass upvote/flag, it's dishonest. They are purposefully sabotaging the w

Datalog is much better but sadly its recursion model requires thinking harder so most people bail too early. SQL is easier to understand so it sticks. SQL was designed with an English-like syntax so it could be used by non-programmers. Befo

Better than contribution, consider visiting /newest and upvote|flag things there. There're a lot of good articles lost in the haystack. Even if it's once in a while it's very good for the community. In the old days of re
