This is a terrible example. Cars qualitatively opened up something that humans could never do before. Same with the computer. What about LLMs? LLMs just replace what you were already doing, but don’t qualitatively open up all that much in t

100% agree, their utopia sounds far worse than their “humans will go extinct” which still sounds implausible to me. I would rather die than live in a WallE society, and I hate that they’re getting trillions trying to force us there

I can also play that game, You are effectively calling for enabling 24/7 non stop worldwide surveillance of everyone, everywhere all the time. The big difference is my negative is concrete, possible and enabled in 2026 by GPT Astra whi

>> This is unfortunately not an isolated issue, Spotify for one has the same issue. I just brought up Spotify since I have more experience using their app and they have also gone fully into “agents have made us 100X more productive”

Numbers from GPT Astra - Shopify has 3000 engineers as of 2026 - Google Chrome when released in 2008 conservatively had ~ 60 engineers. - GTA 5 in its credits had 150 software engineers. Surprising even to me who has had many an experience

Both things can be true: 1. OpenAI when using your chats in pretraining is improving its model’s intuition. The model parameter size is massive, and while the data is OOM larger it is plausible that model remembers stuff about chats that im

It demotivates mathematicians. That’s a pretty large negative!

Any mathematicians here, does it read like a slop proof or a good proof. Yesterday the “concurrent work” was claiming that the proof is pure slop and he needed lots of time to clean it up, curious if OAI also ended up with such a proof!

Astra was in use by OpenAI employees for more than 3 months internally from rumors I heard

I’m always confused, are all these shapes programmatically generated or are they downloaded from some source? Also I think Astra looks the best and has the best functionality. Also shocked how much better GLM is on the Non Codex harnesses.

lol and here I felt GPT Astra was a regression in coding quality. Crazy times

Even their utopian views feel dystopian. Take solace in the fact, that it looks like it’ll take trillions to achieve, probably one of the most expensive technological buildouts of all time?

Not always, there can be bugs in lean. Recently some guy with claimed to disprove Collatz conjecture, only to turn out that there was a bug in lean. I actually have no idea, how anyone can be sure this 13 M lines is meaningful

Lots of us feel that way. It was motivating to do it, when it couldn’t be 1-shotted by AI in a weekend

I agree, there’s a lot of truth to this statement, AI in a sense is exposing how worthless this always was

Benchmark wise 5% improvement over Sol in coding tasks and a 2-3% improvement over Fable 5.1 seems pretty disappointing, but maybe it is actually much better in real world usage. Let’s see

How about we just hire humans and let them code without AI, then we don't have this issue! Every piece of valuable software to date was written this way. In before, “you’ll be left behind crowd”, I agree, most of what we call SWE in 20

I would have said the same of coding and yet here we are. If the only bottleneck is data (we’ve already spent a trillion in compute), I think it’s going to happen in a few years, a decade at most.

lol, nice to see some engineering company building outlandish product. Not everything needs mass appeal, this is not for me but maybe some one finds this interesting

I would have laughed at him a few years ago, but now I increasingly feel like this regarding LLM’s. Need to interrogate my thoughts more for what changed

Reads like AI slop, surprised they can’t see it in their blog post. No human wants to read in such prose

Ubuntu is good enough. I never got the point of tiling window managers, because the most important part of daily computing, browsing the web requires you to use the mouse. I’ve tried keyboard only browsers, none of them are as intuitive as

It hasn’t climbed the complexity bar for hard software engineering yet, fable still can’t build a fully functioning C Compiler, I think in the long horizon eval it can sometimes build a C pre-processor (not deterministic) given all the test

That sounds great, I wish I had a job like that. I just wrangle agents for everything now. I think an added benefit of what you’re doing is it is more fun and this the humans who are actually building the product are more motivated to conti
