<p>I like this and felt like some of it was much more fluid; but was I alone in feeling like the interjected "uh-huh" or "yeah?" moments felt a little jarring?<p>Almost felt a bit *uncanny valley* for what "natural" conversation is supposed to  be like. If the "uh huh" isn't timed correctly, it'll feel like a zoom call with lag.</p>

<p>Brute forcing positive outcomes by spending more tokens until a happy path manifests does not solve the underlying comprehension (and liability) problem.<p>I fear a world where critical software is stood up with
increasingly non-human governed abstraction <i>because it [seems like it] works</i>.<p>Software engineers as the review terminal in a conveyor of business-led code mass production... coming to a company near you?</p>

<p>It feels like the gap is closing from an intelligence perspective. Or at least doing some kind of log flattening.<p>Been playing with GLM 5.2 in different contexts. It's less good if you don't max out thinking, but as xhigh it's been able to solve most problems I was throwing at Opus in the about the same amount of time (via OpenRouter).<p>Wild time to be alive.</p>

<p>GLM-5.2 has been impressive.<p>Having my engineers swap over to it from Claude has garnered very little complaint. The lack of multi-modality is a limitation, but using minimax m3 for that isn't super inconvenient.</p>

<p>I'm absolutely astounded that we even have an open weights model that can do 40% of what is shown in here.<p>I remember making games ten years ago, and it was such a tedious and painful process. This is effectively lightning in a bottle even at a fraction of it's capability.<p>The next 12 months will be wild (assuming we don't have Chinese models banned by then in the US).</p>

<p>If DoD systems are running on OpenAI infrastructure, you can't just pause them for 6 months during an acquisition. This gets far more complex than just "liquidation of assets".</p>

<p>What happens if OpenAI collapses at this point? Is it just too big to fail given defense contracts and Microsoft?<p>The Sora sunsetting marked a big shift towards enterprise focus and meeting Anthropic on the enterprise battlefield, but almost all engineers I work with or know are using Claude at this point exclusively.<p>Anyone seeing differently?</p>

<p>Gave you a star as well. Love the idea and the demo/configurator is very slick.<p>Looked at the "how it works" -- is there a way to manually specify leaf element sizing? Thinking about dynamically sized elements that don't have markup-level specified sizes yet via bounding boxes.</p>

<p>I'm observing that there is some kind of status quo bias nearly uniformly being surfaced by the programming community right now.<p>I myself have feelings like this, as a software engineer by trade.<p>"We will forever be useful!" As a sounding cry against radical transformation. I hope that's the case, but some of these pieces just seem like copium.</p>

<p>>Letting an LLM write for you is like paying somebody to work out for you.<p>It's worse than this. If someone is working out for you, they still own the outcome of that effort (their physique).<p>With an LLM people _act_ like the outcome is their own production. The thinking, reasoning, structural capability, modeling, and presentation can all just as easily be framed _as your creation_.<p>That's why I think we're seeing an inverse relationship between ideation output and coherence (and perhaps unoriginality) and a decline in creative thinking and creativity[0]<p>[0] <a href="https://time.com/7295195/ai-chatgpt-google-learning-school/" rel="nofollow">https://time.com/7295195/ai-chatgpt-google-learning-school/</a></p>
