Two ways I use skills 1. Personally - these are for apps I use like Codex. This one is pretty simple 2. For our product (which is mostly an internal tool, with minimial customer facing UI) - we have a skills factory that lets our employees

Not a great argument. You're describing what LLMs are trained to do, not necessarily every capability or property produced by that training. We do not know what conditions are sufficient for consciousness. Any statements saying it&#x27

Consciousness can factually exist even though another being’s subjective experience is not directly observable. we can measure its behavioral and neural correlates and infer consciousness from them but we cannot directly observe the experie

I haven't used fable since they brought it back. But based on my experience before they removed it, I would agree that sol is pretty close.

For anyone on the fence, I was a hardcore CC user since it was released. I made the full switch to 5.6 sol and Codex about a month ago. It's the better experience. The limits are way higher (I almost never burn through my $200/m p

SWE was a sub degree within the school of CS where I went to school. You could do CS with a minor in SWE and get the best of both. I suppose if you're just doing a straight ticket CS degree you'll have little exposure to engineeri

So the moral of the story is, don't build a frontier model in the US. Got it.

Question: for a smaller SaaS tool, or even internal product. If a team doesn't want to manage AWS or another IaaS provider, what are the best alternatives for the following 1.) Vercel - having a bad month 2.) Supabase - having a bad mo

Generally agree. I use AI very heavily, but rarely am I letting it actually think for me. It's a tool that reduces the time it takes for ideas in my head to manifest into reality. If you don't have those ideas, or a poor understan

Having tried most (all?) of the commercially available + open source options, and even tangential competitors like CC, Conductor, Antimetal, etc. I haven't found anything that's close to the experience of Cursor. The harness they&

Not quite first party, but composer 2 is far superior to grok for coding. Unless you're eluding to them using SpaceX infra to train their own model vs. using grok

For programming, the way I would build a curriculum is to force students to actually learn how to program and code first. This is simple by requiring them to write code inside the classroom by hand for all exams. I would make this the focus

The cynicism or even lack of interest is because it's extremely underwhelming. If you ask 100 people in 1969 what humans would be doing in space in 57 years I can guarantee not a single person would guess that we've done nothing o

MacOS is a bug filled nightmare, and it's still light years better than Windows. I haven't used Ubuntu extensively since early 2019, but it still wasn't comparable to OSX at the time. Apple and specifically MacOS is significa

This has always been my personal definition of AGI. But the market and industry doesn't agree. So I've backed off on that and have more or less settled on "can do most of the knowledge work that a human can do"

So it's even more human than we thought

This is entirely solvable with skills, memory, context, and further prompting. All of which can be done in a way that's reliable and repeatable. You wouldn't expect a Jr. dev to be the best at keeping things dry either.

by ryanSrich 7mo ago
I would and have done the same with Jr. devs. It's not an argument against it being AGI.

Giving opus a memory or real-time access to the current year is trivial. I don't see how that's an argument against it being AGI.

I think "tested" is the hard part. The simple part seems to be there already, loops, crons, and computer use is getting pretty close.

by ryanSrich 7mo ago
AGI is here. 90%+ of white collar work _can_ be done by an LLM. We are simply missing a tested orchestration layer. Speaking broadly about knowledge work here, there is almost nothing that a human is better at than Opus 4.6. Especially if y

The market has clearly passed it by. I was a huge Heroku fan. It even inspired my first startup in 2014 (basically a healthcare tech version of Heroku). At the time, I thought it was the future, and found messing around in AWS, etc., too ti

That's the idea yeah. There are other people actively working on this. You can follow vx-underground on twitter. They're tracking it.
