It's fun, but every new model release makes me even less interested to create cool stuff. Like, what's the point, if the next AI can do it in 5 seconds?

Is there a point in playing Chess or Go when you know there's a computer out there that can beat you (and everyone else)?

No, that's why I just play against other humans.

In this game of work/development, you can't make sure that other humans don't "cheat". Our work won't compete anymore with other human's work, but with a computer.

The ARC-AGI-3 scorecard is extremely misleading given that it clearly states itself that "with [the responses API] harness, we estimate Sol would score in the ballpark of ~30%." but it shows a score of 7.8% for GPT-5.6 Sol presumably since if they updated the percentage for GPT-5.6 Sol to the score it would receive with the responses API harness they used for GPT-6 Astra they'd have to do the same for the percentage…

Does AGI imply a model will demonstrate morality? Will it produce white-lies when it’s beneficial to it and reject flat out lying when it knows it will get caught or harm others? Will it resolutely stick to a position despite it being a losing one?

I'm sure it's going to do great on all sorts of benchmarks, but the video--the actual marketing video that if anything is incentivised to overstate things--is full of careful cuts just before it would do anything that still wouldn't actually be that impressive. It's AGI, and it's going to upload photos, or change a background slide colour. Even the people hyping it up, who believe that it's really artificial intellig…

are we really having to explain to you from first principles in 2026 what things AI can do?

I think everyone here is well aware of what LLMs can do. He's just pointing out how far short that falls of being some theoretical "AGI".

You can calm down, even those with machine learning knowledge and most of those working for the AI labs won’t be needed anymore if models are capable to improve themselves. In the end, having a machine replacing the work of a human is a good thing - in most of the cases we don’t work because of the work but to make a living. If too many people can’t make a living anymore the system is going to change. For the better or the worse.

No, we can already see all the useful stuff!

Is anyone else just exhausted by the pace of all this. The models change constantly and relentlessly and so does the pricing, basically weekly at this point between all the labs. It feels nearly impossible to have any rigorous approach when choosing a particular model and price point for a task and more like blindly picking one. The time period needed to actually get familiar with various models to a degree you can i…

You really don’t need to watch it that closely. If the model you’re using today is working well, just stick with it.

If one day you open up Claude Code and it’s Opus 5.1 now instead of Opus 5, no big deal. It probably will work about the same as it did before. Maybe a little better.

Or if you’re on Codex and some new cool Claude model comes out, no worries. There will probably be a similar new model for Codex within a few weeks. Maybe even within a few days.

> How will we make a living? Swap to a career path that requires physical automation, since we're still about 10-20 years out on that front. My backup plan is being a personal trainer.

I'd say 5 to 10 years instead of 10 to 20, but... we'll see
