> The problem is, there are very few if any other studies. Not at all, the METR study just got a ton of attention. There are tons out there at much larger scales, almost all of them showing significant productivity boosts for various measures of "productivity". If you stick to the standard of "Randomly controlled trials on real-world tasks" here are a few: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4945566 (…

Closed PRs, commits, loc etc are useless vanity metrics.

With ai code you have more loc and NEED more PRs to fix all its slop.

In the end you have increased numbers with net negative effect

ChatGPT has given me wings to tackle projects I would've never had the impetus to tackle, finally I know how to use my oscilloscope and I am repairing vintage amps; fun times.

same for me but Claude. I've had an iphone game i've wanted to do for years but just couldn't spend the time consistently to learn everything to do it. but with Claude over the past three months i've been able to implement the game and even release it for fun.

May we look at it please? pure curiosity - also have similar thoughts you had. : )

When smartphones came I first said "I don't buy the camera and microphone that spy on me from my own money." Now you would be really a weirdo to not have one since enough people gave in for small convenience to make it basically mandatory.

To be fair, "small convenience" is extremely reductive. The sum of human knowledge and instant communication with anyone anywhere the size of a graham cracker in your pocket is godlike power that anyone at any point in history would've rightly recognized as such

Mobile phones changed society in a way that not even Internet did. And they call it a "small conveninece".

Google's edge obvious here is the deep integration it already has with calendar, apps, and chats and what not that lets them surface context-rich updates naturally. OpenAI doesn't have that same ecosystem lock-in yet, so to really compete they'll need to get more into those integrations. I think what it comes down to ultimately is that being "just a model" company isn't going to work. Intelligence itself will go to z…

OpenAI should just straight up release an integrated calendar app. Mobile app. The frameworks are already there and the ics or caldav formats just work well. They could have an email program too and just access any other imap mail. And simple docs eventually. I think you’re right that they need to compete with google on the ecosystem front.

>Google's edge obvious here is the deep integration it already has with calendar, apps, and chats They did handle the growth from search to email to integrated suite fantastically. And the lack of a broadly adopted ecoystem to integrate into seems to be the major stopping point for emergent challengers, e.g. Zoom. Maybe the new paradigm is that you have your flashy product, and it goes without saying that it's staple…

If the model companies are serious about demonstrating the models' coding chops, slopping out a gmail competitor would be a pretty compelling proof of concept.

Email is one of the most disruptive systems to switch.

Even at our small scale I wouldn’t want to be locked out of something.

Then again there’s also the sign in with google type stuff that keeps us further locked in.

My pulse today is just a mediocre rehash of prior conversations I’ve had on the platform. I tried to ask GPT-5 pro the other day to just pick an ambitious project it wanted to work on, and I’d carry out whatever physical world tasks it needed me to, and all it did was just come up with project plans which were rehashes of my prior projects framed as its own. I’m rapidly losing interest in all of these tools. It feels…

Blockchain is probably the most useless technology ever invented (unless you're a criminal or an influencer who makes ungodly amounts of money off of suckers). AI is a powerful tool for those who are willing to put in the work. People who have the time, knowledge and crit…

Breaking the request response loop and entering into async territory?

Great!

The examples used?

Stupid. Why would I want AI generated buzzfeed tips style articles. I guess they want to turn chatgpt into yet another infinite scroller

Nono, not OAI, they would never do that, it's OpenAI Personalization LLC, a sister of the subsidiary branch of OpenAI Inc.

" Blockchain is probably the most useless technology ever invented " Actually AI may be more like blockchain then you give it credit for. Blockchain feels useless to you because you either don't care about or value the use cases it's good for. For those that do, it opens a whole new world they eagerly look forward to. As a coder, it's magical to describe a world, and then to see AI build it. As a copyeditor it may be…

Blockchain is essentially useless. You need legal systems to enforce trust in societies, not code. Otherwise you'll end up with endless $10 wrench attacks until we all agree to let someone else hold our personal wealth for us in a secure, easy-to-access place. We might call it a bank. The end state of crypto is always just a nightmarish dystopia. Wealth isn't created by hoarding digital currency, it's created by prod…
