People are the one with money, though, at the end of the day.

Exactly! The actual base loop of these agents is remarkably simple. https://github.com/girvo/girvent this is my silly one :)

Not enough to not do it, though. Actions, not words, and the actions are simple: they're building this while promising to wipe out entire industries.

This doesn’t help you, but GLM-5 stays coherent far longer on Alibaba’s coding plan/infra. You can’t get that coding plan anymore though unfortunately!

Not surprising though, this was always going to be the end result within our current systems I think. When you add up: scaling power and required cost, then how talent concentrates in our economic systems, we were always going to end up wit

Enthusiastically supporting them. It’s quite depressing to watch over the last few years. It’s not like they’re being coy about their aim…

by girvo 7mo ago
They don’t care about those risks, because they’re unsolvable and would mean they wouldn’t make money/gain power.

It really isn’t. I wish it was, because work complains about overuse of Opus.

It's super neat to see you here on HN taking questions, kudos :)

EDIT: The person I replied to entirely rewrote their comment (with no indication they did so) so mine seems weird now, apologies for that. Apple fixed the issue it seems, but did kind-of-sort-of ignore it. The argument from the OP is that

No one made that argument here. If you’re okay with the trade offs to air quality, go for it. I used to be, then I switched and realised induction really just is better at home

Eh, he’s just a person. I’m not surprised he posted a rude comment haha, and it got rightfully flagged off the site for being AI slop. Appreciate the gift link, I’ll give it a read!

The Nazis succeeded in wiping out their opposition through violence. Why is that you think that Nazis were able to, but the German left (in this hypothetical) would not have been able to do so in kind?

Not to mention it starts with the “10 people can do the work of 100” nonsense as one of its core premises. The funny thing is I actually agree with the AI slop: I think AI will kill seat pricing as we know it. I just can’t stand the const

by girvo 7mo ago
That’s also because of how Claude Code was written. It doesn’t have to be that way per se.

And while it’s not Opus level, it is incredibly good. I use it basically exclusively (and qwen3.5-plus) on my personal projects.

Induction is better than gas in basically any way you can care to slice it, and natural gas in your home is actually quite bad for air quality. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-17/kitchen-pollutants-st...

GLM-5 is surprisingly good to be fair. Punches well above its weight IMO
