AI news and ESPN feels interchangeable sometimes.

I’ve never seen names be big in the industry in this way before. It used to be founders, now it’s personalities.

I'll reserve judgement until I've heard what ThePrimeagen and simonw have to say about this.

I read this as a bad sign for Anthropic. Relying yet again on more hype instead of improving products. OpenAI’s hiring recently has been much stronger, whether through luck or structure. The “no-name” guys have actual taste. I love that. I don’t care that they’re no-names. I don’t know Karpathy personally, I won’t speak bad about a man I don’t know. I hope he makes CC better. I just read this as hype. My point is tha…

OpenAI seems to be dumping a LOT of money into marketing on social media at least.

I’ve been using Claude and Codex extremely heavily and use adblockers so I don’t see them

Dude, both! Codex is going to eat Openclaw… i don’t love saying that. What codex is a few steps away from doing is changing fundamentally a lot of workflows. Remote codex with their computer use is basically you at your computer doing things, 24/7. Then they added gpt images 2.0 what codex can do, in a few more product iterations, is show you visually side by side “would you prefer this (A) or that (B)” in a series o…

Codex and openclaw are both "owned" by openai, and most of the features have been in claude code for awhile now.

To be fair, Claude Dispatch was really cool. I had to wait a good 3 weeks for Codex to come out with remote

Out here in the actual demonstrated world, OpenAI has been leaking quality people like a sieve, has not yet demonstrated anything remotely similar to 'taste', and is led by a sociopath ( https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/04/13/sam-altman-may... ), so I think you can rest easy.

We are in the early stages of AI. Anthropic is Altavista and OpenAI is AskJeeves or something. 10-20 years from now the scene will be unrecognizable and all of this will be inconsequential but at the same time it is the fondation on which tomorrow is built.

Karpathy is talented and to me he always seemed like someone who would be against building something like skynet. Anthropic is lucky to have him.

Honestly, if Skynet were possible, Anthropic would probably build it first and claim they had to because OpenAI is bad.

And then regulatory capture it to death. Seriously, Anthropic is top notch in their coding models, but they are not the good guys in the tech vs. product for humanity's sake debate.

I guess they kinda ignore replies and just follow the Karpathy-ies? Super offending to my sensibilities seeing the extent of slop in replies, and this is months and months ago now. Unbridled poorly prompted GPT-4o replies. The main posts from smart/funny people are just as good as they would be written elsewhere, yes, but like at a restaurant, atmosphere’s pretty important too… don’t want to eat a tomahawk steak on a…

I don't think the slop problem is that high? Maybe its the people I follow. I just mentally filter out obvious slop anyway. The number of "likes" is a good giveaway for whether it is slop or not.

Must’ve seen a thread that was so horrible I nope’d out hard and of course haven’t checked back.[1] Compounding factor must be how I worry about the “nazi bar” accusations, since that story resonated with me (we know the one, polite-talking guy getting kicked out of bar for seemingly no reason).

If you can screenshot all the good stuff and put it on Mastodon, thank you! ;) (hehe no perfect solutions to this thang)

[1] omg someone prompted GPT to use uncommon words and lowercase letters, and they posted the stupidest model output I’ve ever seen as “their” reaction… it was super disrespectful to make humans read even those few contrived sentences

Karpathy is probably one of the biggest names in AI, I do wonder where he fits now. He's sort of bounced around Tesla back to OpenAI back to independent. He sort of left OpenAI before it really hit the inflection point, and he was at Tesla for a long time and they didn't really deliver what they wanted on the AI side. Now he's bounced around a few places. I understand that the leaders in this market play this silly g…
