But but according to Mr Altman, we've like entered the singularity. Right? Who cares about a billing issue?
It’s called the singularity because all your money vanishes into a black hole.

#62It would be ironic if this bug exists because it was vibe coded.

#63The fact that companies with access to SOTA non-public AI keep having these kinds of dumb bugs in something as simple as a chat app helps validate my disbelief of people claiming AI is ready to replace all software development.
we've had bugs for decades; the people wanting to replace humans arn't going to care much.

Precisely. I think everyone has been affected by the fearmongering and gaslighting to some dfgree. But step back and try and see whether software's getting better as a whole or going into reverse? OpenAI has basically unlimited internal compute and talent yet they screw this up amongst many other things. Shouldn't it be a 5 minute job for someone at AI to spin up a team of agents annd make sure this sort of thing nev…

#65I love the fact that devs are still complaining that invoices are able to grow from $300 to $1000+
How can anyone use a platform where this is even an issue? Just because AWS is a failure in this regard, doesn't mean there aren't alternatives with fixed prices or others with easily settable limits.

Behind on architecture, ahead on training? It seemed pretty obvious to me that the opus 4.7 and 4.8 releases were more about trying to retain 4.6-level capabilities while being cheaper to run, which would fit. And they can burn so much money on training.
I don't know I just care about the end result. And yeah what you're mentioning here is a pretty common conspiracy theory but you don't actually have any insight into that do you?
Apologies, you asked a question. I assumed that meant you were interested.

You didn't answer my question you literally just asked me another question and then parroted a common talking point about Opus models (which isn't even frontier - Fable is)

#68You know, installing unsloth studio lets you use codex against a local qwen 3.8 instance, which does ~10 tok/sec without GPU on a modern machine, and 100+ tok/sec on a 5090, and is incredibly good.

> Except leadership doesn't care about dumb bugs. Never has, never will (until it's too late). It cares about velocity and cost. This is the very moment at which I started my own business. I prefer to work for myself with some quality standards than to be in a rush in front of a prompt (not that I do not use AI at all, I do, but not for generating code most of the time). I knew the future, at that time was basically:…
I think being self-employed is the only way you can make sure that your work is allowed to reach your own minimal quality standards.
Re: Codex on AWS bedrock bug causing 10x charges
#70Funny how it is always more charges but never less or no charges. "Random" accidents that always go against you, too biased to be random. But don't notice that too much, you might start to see patterns here and there that you're not allowed to, might get you banned from places, etc.
