    You know people before the OpenAI incident were saying it couldn't happen because it hasn't happened before, and here you are using the same reasoning again. You're looking at wher…

    None of that is the problem. The problem is coordinated AI offense - how do you defend that without coordinated AI defense. He said in the talk that this implies AI needs to be abl…

    In the black hat talk he says the only solution is full automated defense which is essentially hand the AI the keys. That’s checkmate right there. Literally the plot to Terminator/…

    It’s funny seeing all the e/acc foomers on X starting to get nervous, like this is what you wanted isn’t it?

    Not really, have you tried to do anything innovative working remote with a team? In any meeting half the people are checked out watching youtube. The collaborative whiteboarding ex…

    So unless doomsday actually happens then you're unhappy with the warning - is that right? You see false promises of apocalypse as marketing?

    I just clicked your links and then read your comment after - my first impression was the Fable version looks way nicer.

    Page 151 of the linked system card - did Opus 5 get nerfed to prevent it being better than Fable? The graph makes no sense. Huge decline in coding performance at effort levels high…

    The only path we’re on is transcending into paperclips by misaligned AI. It’s such a trope for the ones striving for godhood to be ironically maimed in the process. You don’t see t…

    All the things that people have been afraid of AI doing for decades now is happening. When do we stop brushing off the prophecy that hasn’t been fulfilled yet when everything is he…

    My /usage is telling me '+50% weekly limits promo through Aug 19' - that's huge, and better than what I'm getting with the equivalent Codex plan I have right now. Though what Codex…

    It’s like two parents fighting over their children with who can give them the most gifts. I’m loving it, two Christmases!!

    Historically levels were around 250 and now they're generally over 450. I wonder if I would feel a cognitive boost or just plain better in general if I were breathing 250. Do they …

    Really feels like end game type stuff - AI designing its own next versions, designing its own chips, etc.. The advancement is slow, but fast - like a plant growing. We really are t…

    We absolutely care about the implications of AI solving hard problems. I'm sure you can find thousands of posts on HN deriding AI progress the entire time, trivializing it as nothi…

    None of the things I'm talking to ChatGPT about are replacing human conversations. It's replacing having to type a question into Google on my phone. But you do bring up a good poin…

    Honestly I'm on $200 a month for Claude Max and $100 a month for Codex, and it's nothing compared to the productivity gains if you're programming professionally. 10 bucks a day, I …

    Yea, but by the time open source catches up, the frontier will be that much more capable and you won't want to waste time babysitting less capable models. Another dimension for the…

    Better code hands down. Actually GPT 5.5 is a good example of a model that's generally better at solving problems than Opus 4.8, but the code it generates is worse - over engineere…

    Coding with AI it feels like if you're not using the best model then you're possibly missing out - creating less capable, maintainable, just plain 'good' code. Why waste time using…

    I’ve seen it happen over and over again, regular smokers stop smoking because weed only gives them anxiety now. It’s literally a gateway drug to an anxiety disorder.

    I like decomp, but it makes me nervous. Like how safe is it to decompile a game and publish it to like github with all the symbols, addresses, etc..
