so we finally got our "phd level ai" maybe, semi consistently move blocks around at the level of a 1 year old child.

good fucking job everyone, congrats.

writing native gui code is atrocious, add to that llms being horrible with ui dev and you end up with with what you describe. but at least if we get more non-ui stuff written in more efficient languages there is going to be some benefit.

llms make it trivial writing code in rust, without even knowing rust. There is hope…

It’s pretty bad except that any other way is even worse.

This. The same goes for “skills”, skill type “subagents” and other bullshit - powerful models don’t need any of that anymore I noticed.

The idea that agi would help us cure all the human deceases, esp house built into our generics or developed over millions of years gotta be the top indicator of our own stupidity.

What? psychologists are for that (or drugs and alcohol).

What’s with fascination with agi/superintelligence? It seems people working on it never had kids and just want to compensate for that. It’s a really horrible thing to try to “solve”.

Treasuries are $ denominated -> sell them for $$, buy yen back, yen/usd drops. or have Uncle Sam buy yen.

Try doing a refactoring of some sort or larger new feature using just an agent on a moderately sized codebase, 256k will be compacting every few minutes, and result will be unusable.

My cat is more conscious than whatever latest frontier model is out there, and it runs on a little bit kibble and water.

Barrels of tokens sold by thieves that copied every book sure looks like selling to me.

Someone going to public library, copying every book out of it and then selling them as their own are thieves.

there are plenty of orgs where writing more code is not a good thing, in fact it's the last thing they want. but yet these orgs would still employ 80%+ of all developers, not necessarily to write code though.

sheeshkebab — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 03:41:15 +0000

unless they launched 10t param models, or figured out some amazing new way to compress as many params into say 100b, I doubt it's anywhere near "mythos level". and I have no idea how many params mythos has but that was just some hear say.

it’s not been useful anywhere else - no self driving cars, no laundry helpers - just some idiotic animatronic carcasses that are barely able to walk around, and semi autonomous killer bots on ukraine frontlines.

Qwen models are actually very competitive with frontier models, and you can run them on your local computer. Gotta have a decent graphics card and by that time the current cost of the rig may not justify it over paying $100/month for cloud model but it’s all out there.

Well, it was great while it lasted - I had fable build me a bunch of stuff this week that opus was just screwing up too much and could never finish. Good thing there are plenty of choices now even if US gov fucks up US AI.

sheeshkebab — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 11:49:37 +0000

Pro/max subs are not as flexible as bedrock in api use and don’t seem to run the same models either - often times they are notably dumber (quantized I guess) than bedrock equivalent.
