LLMs upend a few centuries of labor theory. The current market is predicated on the assumption that labor is atomic and has little bargaining power (minus unions). While capital has huge bargaining power and can effectively put whatever price it wants on labor (in markets where labor is plentiful, which is most of them). What happens to a company used to extracting surplus value from labor when the labor is provided…

I am still trying to figure out the business model of open weights. Like... it's wonderful that there are open LLMs, super happy about it, good for everyone, but why are there these? What is the advantage to their companies to release them?

Downward pressure on proprietary model pricing until a lab can catch up. Also good for hiring talent (who love OSS).

A playable 3D dungeon arena prototype built with Codex and GPT models. Codex handled the game architecture, TypeScript/Three.js implementation, combat systems, enemy encounters, HUD feedback, and GPT‑generated environment textures. Character models, character textures, and animations were created with third-party asset-generation tools The game that this prompt generated looks pretty decent visually. A big part of th…

LLM models can not do spacial reasoning. I haven't tried with GPT, however, Claude can not solve a Rubik Cube no matter how much I try with prompt engineering. I got Opus 4.6 to get ~70% of the puzzle solved but it got stuck. At $20 a run it prohibitively expensive. The point is if we can prompt an LLM to reason about 3 dimensions, we likely will be able to apply that to math problems which it isn't able to solve cur…

What about a model designed for robotics and vision? Seems like an LLM trained on text would inherently not be great for this.

DeepMinds other models however might do better?

It's very addictive indeed. After I subscribed to Claude, I've been on a sort of hypomanic state where I just want to do stuff constantly. It essentially cured my ADHD. My ability to execute things and bring ideas to fruition skyrocketed. It feels good but I'm genuinely afraid I'll crash and burn once they rug pull the subscriptions.

And I'm being very cautious. I'm not vibecoding entire startups from scratch, I'm manually reviewing and editing everything the AI is outputting. I still got completely hooked on building things with Claude.

Xi is an obviously more capable and effective leader than Trump, but the US actually does have ways to boot people out of office when they do a bad job, and clear methods to choose successors, and China has neither. That matters more than who happens to be in charge right now.

This doesn't have API access yet, but OpenAI seem to approve of the Codex API backdoor used by OpenClaw these days... https://twitter.com/steipete/status/2046775849769148838 and https://twitter.com/romainhuet/status/2038699202834841962 And that backdoor API has GPT-5.5. So here's a pelican: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/23/gpt-5-5/#and-some-peli... I used this new plugin for LLM: https://github.com/simonw/llm-op…

I made pelicans at different thinking efforts: https://hcker.news/pelican-low.svg https://hcker.news/pelican-medium.svg https://hcker.news/pelican-high.svg https://hcker.news/pelican-xhigh.svg Someone needs to make a pelican arena, I have no idea if these are considered good or not.

None of them have the pelican's feet placed properly on the pedals -- or the pedals are misrepresented. Cool art style but not physically accurate.

Cool. Now there will be a week or "this is the greatest model ever and I think mine just gained sentience", followed by a week of "I think they must have just nerfed it because it's not as good as it was a week ago", followed by three weeks of smart people cargo culting the specific incantations they then convince themselves make it work best.

followed by some hormuz closures, followed by gpt-5.6...

The meshes look interesting, but the gameplay is very basic. The tank one seems more sophisticated with the flying ships and whatnot. What's strange is that this Pietro Schirano dude seems to write incredibly cargo cult prompts. Game created by Pietro Schirano, CEO of MagicPath Prompt: Create a 3D game using three.js. It should be a UFO shooter where I control a tank and shoot down UFOs flying overhead. - Think step…

This is an argument in the lane of "at least he built the Autobahn".

Speaking as a German.

Hopefully not, because checking your codebase for vulnerabilities is really valuable. I hope it’s just limits on pentesting and stuff, and not for code analysis and review.

But how do it know?

Who else is trying to leverage the situation so that they don't dig their own grave too fast ?

    - I often don't ask the LLM for precompiled answers, i ask for a standalone cli / tool
    - I often ask how it reached its conclusions, so I can extend my own perspective
    - I often ask to describe it's own metadata level categorization too
I'm trying to use it to pivot and improve my own problem solving skills, especially for large code base where the difficulty is not conceptual but more reference-graph size
