You'd think Open AI's dev velocity and quality would be off the charts since they live and breathe "AI." If a company building ChatGPT itself often delivers buggy features then it doesn't bode well for this whole 'AI will eat the world' notion.

Well none of the labs have good frontend or mobile engineers or even infra engineers Anthropic is ahead in this because they keep their UIs simplistic so the failure modes are also simple (bad connection) OpenAI is just pushing half baked stuff to prod and moving on (GPTs, Canvas). Find it hilarious and sad that o1-pro just times out thinking on very long or image-intense chats. Need to reload page multiple times aft…

It's a good point, Anthropic is being VERY choosy and winds up knocking it out of the park with stuff like Artifacts. Meanwhile their MacOS app is junk, but obviously not a priority.

Broadly I agree with your position, but: > If you can find a way to make the context window on the scale of the human brain, you may be able to mostly mitigate this. Human brains have a much smaller context window than AI do. We can't pay attention to the last 128,000 concepts that filtered past our sensory systems — our conscious considerations are for about seven things. There's a lot of stuff that we don't yet und…

> context length is the wrong criticism for these models You're right. What I'm getting at is the overall speed, efficiency, and accuracy of the storage, retrieval, and processing capability of the human brain.

It's kinda crazy that it can run on a few slices of bread when LLMs need kilowatts of power to write a simple paragraph :)

Have you tried o1 pro? I find people that are making these assertions are not deeply using the models on a daily basis. With each new release, I can see the increase of capability, and can do things. I have written software in the last year that is at a level of complexity beyond my skill set. I have 15 years of SWE experience, most at FAANG. You just arent close enough to the metal to see what's coming. It's not abo…

Yes, I use LLMs every day. Primarily for coding (a mix of Claude and OAI). I was trying to implement a simple CSS optimization step to my JS framework's build system last night and both kept hallucinating to the point (literally inventing non-existent APIs and config patterns) where I gave up and just did it by hand w/ Google and browsing docs. The problem with your "close to the metal" assertion is that this has bee…

Yeah I don't think we're going to come closer to a real AGI until we manage to make a model that can actually understand and think. An LLM sounds smart but it just picks the most likely response from the echoes of a billion human voices. I'm sure we'll get there but not with this tech. I'm pretty sure even be OpenAI said this with their 5 steps to AGI, LLMs were only step 1. And probably the part that will do the talking in the final AI but not the thinking.

At the moment people are so wooed by the confidence of current LLMs that they forget that there's all sorts of types of AI models. I think the key is going to be to have them work together, each doing the part they're good at.

Pretty useless so far. I'm not sure what the intended application of this is so far, but I wanted it to schedule some work for me.

It only scheduled the first thing and that was after having to be specific by saying "7:30pm-11pm". I wanted to say "from now to 11pm" but it did couldn't process "now"

Does the world need another reminder/todo app? Many existing apps (like Todoist) have already had LLM integrations for a while now, and have more features like calendars and syncing. Or do I completely not understand what this product is trying to be?

Why not? I already pay for chatgpt but I don't pay for todoist so that doesn't help me.

How do I edit a sent message in the Claude Android app? It's so simplistic I can't find it.

The beta is inconsistently showing (required a few refreshes to get something to show up), but my limited usage of it showed a plethora of issues: - Assumed UTC instead of EST. Corrected it and it still continued to bork - Added random time deltas to my asked times (+2, -10 min). - Couple notifications didn't go off at all - The one that did go off didn't provide a push notification. --- On top of that, only usable w…

I'd rather have buggy things now than perfect things in a year.

Founder of Cronitor.io here — if you’re a developer considering using this, would it be valuable for you to be able to report in to Cronitor when it runs so we can keep an eye and alert you if your tasks are late, skipped or accidentally deleted?

We support just about every other job platform but I’d love to hear from potential users before I hack something together.
