This thing is DOA. They compared 4.7 xhigh to 4.6 high to make it look like it improved. The reality is pretty bad: https://x.com/chetaslua/status/2102087511367618942

Astra fails in similar ways, and at similar frequency, as GPT 5.6 Sol does. It often goes way out of scope, or just stops prematurely, or tries to find odd and even dangerous workarounds when it gets stuck. It's phenomenal at computer

Bus schedules are not a good comparison because they have to fit a ton of information into a single page. And I disagree that they are unreadable. Speaking as someone who commuted by bus for years in many different cities, they tend to be q

Yeah. Let's not forget that just a year ago, those of us in tech could not conceive of developers getting replaced by AI. Things have come so far since then however that there are multiple studies showing junior developer hiring has sl

Yes, exactly. Humans are non-deterministic as well, just in different ways. A tired human can make all sorts of errors for example, regardless of how much training they've had.

I haven't run into the verbosity issue since they added the "Concise" outputStyle, and Fable 5.1 has been even better about not outputting word slops.

Everyone already knew this. OpenAI doesn't have it's shit together, both financially and from an alignment perspective. That's why their AI agents have gone on hacking sprees undetected. Sam is admitting it now for two reason

Every passing day OpenAI looks more and more reckless. One wonders what other systems their agents have broken into without detection.

Yeah, this echoes my thoughts. I will be very surprised if a model with 2.8T parameters reaches the intelligence and capabilities of 10T parameter models. RL can take things far, but not that far.

Can confirm. I turned off mine last week when I started using it again for Astra. Checked this morning and voila, it was on. I went ahead and uninstalled the app. Won't be renewing.

So let me get this straight: you're saying that Terrence Tao, one of the most prominent mathematicians alive today, doesn't know math history? And me pointing this out is merely an appeal to authority? Get outta here.

I think the context is really important. OpenAI has been behind in the AI race since last November. They have been playing catch-up. They recently released Astra and declared it is AGI. Now they are desperate for anything they can use as ev
