The issue I continue to have with many AI coding tools is they want me to use their own editor ("native", aka VSCode fork, or in the browser like this). I have zero intention of moving away from IDEA and nothing I've seen so far is good enough to make me want to switch. I really with there was more of "bringing AI into your existing tools/workflows" instead of "here is a new tool with AI baked in".
No thank you. As with anything else that is helpful, there is a balancing act to be aware of. This is too much for my taste. Just like github copilot is too much. It's too dumb like this. But chatgpt is insanely helpful in a context where I really need to learn something I am deep diving into or where I need an extra layer of direction. I do not use the tool for coding up front. I use them for iterations on narrow su…
Don't fight this. Try to profit from it. People love these tools and they will become utterly, utterly dependent. Using a spell-checker, I have gradually lost my ability to spell. Using these LLM tools, large parts of the population will lose the ability to think. Try to own them like farm animals. The large number of tokens being processed by iterative models requires enormous energy. Look at the power draw of a Hop…
You're so edgy that you might cut yourself, be careful. What is wrong with making profit by helping people through providing a service?
Yawn. I don't use Claude because the interface is good. I use it because Opus 3 is the best model anyone has ever created for long context coding, writing and retrieval. Give me a model that doesn't have polluted dataset to game MMLU scores, something that tangibly gives good results, and maybe I'll care again. For now I only keep ChatGPT because it's better Google.
Have you used Gemini? With the built-in RAG I actually find it way better than both Google Search and OpenAI for search. I think Claude still wins for overall chat quality but Gemini is amazing for Search, especially when you're not exactly sure what you're looking for. Disclaimer: I work at Google Cloud, but I've had hands-on dev experience with all the major models.
In comparing it's performance to the pure model on Google AI studio I realized Gemini was presenting some sort of RAG results as the "answer" without disclosing where it got that information.
Perplexity, which is hardly perfect, will at least tell you it is searching the web and cite a source web page.
I'm basically saying Gemini fails at even the simplest thing you would want from a search tool: disclosing where the results came from.

I know nothing about these claims or Altman, but this argument fits the pattern of three commonplace threads that I hope people will notice in these situations: 1) Smearing the attacker: When someone unknown accuses or opposes a powerful public person, a standard response is to smear the accuser's credibility and reputation, creating doubts in onlookers, and causing day-to-day harm and high levels of stress and press…
Statistically, this form of abuse is extremely common. Something like 2-5% of women who have a sibling are sexually abused by them. Sam would have also been a child at this time. My experience of this world, especially SF startup scene, is that most people are mentally ill in some way and some people are just better at hiding it. We can both accept that Sam's sister is a bit ill, this probably did happen, and we prob…

Canvas is closer to Cursor ( https://www.cursor.com ) than Claude. I wonder how Paul Graham thinks of Sam Altman basically copying Cursor and potentially every upstream AI company out of YC, maybe as soon as they launch on demo day. Is it a retribution arc?
Cursor was one of the first AI editors I used, but recently Aider has completely replaced the AI assisted coding for me. I still use cursor but just as an editor, all LLM work is done with aider in the shell.
I tried using aider but either my local LLM is too slow or my software projects requires context sizes so large they make aider move at a crawl.
A pretty good UX improvement for ChatGPT. I think they will fork VScode and make an AI editor later. Although It's confusing for me the OAI seems spend more time on end user product instead of working on AGI.
Great end user experience is a huge differentiator in my opinion… it’s why I use OpenAI over other products in the market. It’s actually a joy to use. (The responses are generally far better than other products.)
OpenAI is so far ahead of the competition. They're able to implement anything they like from competitors, and then some. Claude really needs a sandbox to execute code. If Anthropic would be smart about it, they'd offer developers ("advanced users") containers which implement sandboxes, which they can pull to their local machines, which then connect to Claude so that it can execute code on the user's machine (inside t…
1. Claude has “artifacts” which are documents or interactive widgets that live next to a chat.
2. Claude also has the ability to run code and animated stuff in Artifacts already. It runs in a browser sandbox locally too.
3. Gemini/Google has a ton of features similar. For example, you can import/export Google docs/sheets/etc in a Gemini chat. You can also open Gemini in a doc to have it manipulate the document.
4. Also you can use takeout, weird of you to criticize a feature as missing, then postulate it exists exactly where you’d expect.
If anything this is OpenAI being defensive because they realize that models are a feature not a product and chat isn’t everything. Google has the ability and the roadmap to stick Gemini into email clients, web searches, collaborative documents, IDEs, smartphone OS apis, browsers, smart home speakers, etc and Anthropic released “Artifacts” which has received a ton of praise for the awesome usability for this exact use case that OpenAI is targeting.

This is an odd comment, because you mention Claude and Google, both of which already have similar/adjacent features. For a while. OpenAI is actually defensive/behind. 1. Claude has “artifacts” which are documents or interactive widgets that live next to a chat. 2. Claude also has the ability to run code and animated stuff in Artifacts already. It runs in a browser sandbox locally too. 3. Gemini/Google has a ton of fe…
