Ironically, the people who can afford to have in-house help to handle things like cooking and folding clothes - the rich - also tend to be fitter and more active Maybe if you can shave an hour every day from chores, you will actually have t

The entire debate about distilled vs not distilled is just academic. As an end user, I don’t give a crap how the model was trained as long as it does the job affordably enough I see all of AI as theft anyway so it makes no ontological diffe

You just end up creating a doom loop where everyone is using the same tools to create similar content and eventually, no one really cares about the content because all of it is the same I’ve already seen this in my own behavior where anythi

It’s creating this weird flatness everywhere where people are using it to create things that don’t matter (LinkedIn posts, dull corporate presentations). But because everyone is also using it for the exact same purposes, the same things now

Opus 4.8 is genuinely one of the most frustrating models in casual use. It has a tendency to completely lose context in the middle of a conversation. It’s also too pedantic and nitpicky, and relies on language that’s way too specific to get

I mentally switch off the moment I see an AI vibecoded landing page or article or video I don't care what your offer is - if you can't even be bothered to even dress up your stuff for me, a human, I'm not going to consume it

Kimi 2.6 has been my workhorse now. It's as good as Opus 4.6, which, to me, was the last "useful" Claude model. The newer models are smarter but really ficklle and hard to get meaningful work out of 4.6 was a workhorse

it was also astonishingly lazy. Would just ask me to write test scripts. I asked it to create simple UI buttons for testing some basic functions so I could share it with a client, and it gave me curl commands instead - and then defended it

I think 4.7 was an awful model in actual use. I never got anything out of it and it was frustratingly weird. This feels more like an attempt to course correct and isn't a real bump

I genuinely don’t think you need Opus 4.7/GPT-5.5 tier models for 95% of tasks in a normal workplace People are out there using frontier intelligence to make responsive headers and weekly work reports. Absolutely don’t need the latest

have you used it for non coding tasks via MCP, like Figma/Paper for design or Ableton MVP for sound design? The token cost makes it tempting to use for token-heavy tasks like this
