But why stop at rewriting in another language. Get another sub agent to invent a new language, create a database, query language and maybe another few DSLs. Then you've got an ecosystem! You can now re-position your initial solution and sell the client access to some agents that will implement & configure the ecosystem to suit their initial needs! And don't forget the agents that you'll need to train the customer to…

I know you're trying to be funny - but I'm offering a real fix for his problem. If you don't want a million agents arguing about things, you simply don't ask for that. One agent is sufficient to solve most issues.

Sorry, I wasn't implying your advice doesn't carry weight. Was more just thinking about the things that (used to) happen when you introduce more parties to process of creating software.

It seems like these articles might have come out prematurely, tbd by how much. I do not personally see any evidence of the new model having been released, or any official OpenAI post about it, or even any employee social media posts claiming it has now been released. All there is are Reuters, Axios, FT, etc, articles making a claim in the past tense. These articles were presumably pre-scheduled for 11am PT, and the m…

Shows the weirdness of online journalism. News outlets were briefed about an upcoming event and pre-wrote and scheduled articles. When the time came they were all triggered. Except...the event didn't actually happen.

Presumably this sort of thing was rampant pre-internet? News outlets would _have_ to receive embargoed information so that they could publish papers on time. I believe government budgets are a good example of this happening. I think the weird shift was when online journalism started, and live reactions became the norm, no?

No, embargoed news is super common. Almost every single product announcement goes through that. Critics watch movies early, companies have access to LLM model improvements early, car manufacturers send production models early… it happens everywhere all the time.

I suppose they have to appeal to average users, but the examples in the videos are always so corny. By "AGI" they mean you sitting on a couch and asking a robot to draw a rocket ship... and then make it into an uninspired game with Blender? Boring marketing campaigns? Ebay listings?

One would expect something like "review my graduate thesis for a new area of cancer research", but it is always some boring non-tasks like ordering lunch.

> Astra usage is included within the existing subscription allowances—users and businesses will also be able to purchase credits for additional usage.

We all know who this is directed at. I wonder if Anthropic will respond by removing the ridiculous 50% stipulation with Fable.

But "Brockman says he personally believes OpenAI has reached AGI, while leaving users to decide whether Astra meets that definition." Says it all.

I'll know we've reached AGI when they don't release an API for the model selling access for a few bucks per task. Seems like AGI would be worth more than that.

Seriously: Would this not be what "disaster" would feel like?

  - "They" release a model. It is powerful.-
  - Sources are ... confusing? They post to their blog. Sawdust hits the fan. Something happens ...
  - They are forced to take the blog post down ...
Same day, mind where we had a multi-provider outage. Could be something as simple as "all their approved partners running to test the shinny new thing" overloading the datacenters, still ...

2.5x more expensive than Sol. Can expect 2.5x more usage in Codex subscription. Sol is already brutal (even after their recent fixes, it's just a token-hungry model: I go through a full 20x account per day, on Sol Med/High standard speed, with ~2 threads). Note that Tibo recommended using Sol Med as daily driver. When I'm doing less complicated work, I can't even make it past 2-3 days with Sol Med, whereas I was able…

looping sol twice most likely.
