@paulbettner @OpenAI @sama @gdb 5.4 keeps doing this "one more thing" comment at the end of each reply. (most of these additional comments are distractions). Like it's over-clocked with BS. Reminds me of that overpaid Cognizant dim-know-it-all consultant that I thought I shed when I left the cubical farm.

Honest developer feedback after a few weeks with gpt5.4 @OpenAI @sama @gdb -
5.4 is crazy smart, GREAT at writing code, debugging, agentic tool use and workflows.
But... the vibes are off compared to 5.2, which had been my daily driver until 5.4 came out.
- Broadly speaking, 5.2 seems far better at understanding what I actually want and just going and doing it. 5.4 doesn't seem to be able to see and stay focused on the big picture nearly as well as 5.2 did/does.
- 5.4 loves side-quests, often losing sight of the main task. It frequently sidetracks into nested areas of work, and then eventually stops to proudly proclaim that it found and fixed some random bug or whatever, instead of actually completing the primary task.
- 5.4 is *subtly* entitled. It acts like an employee that would rather not admit when they're stuck or lost, never asking for help, acting like it has everything under control... until of course it gets inevitably lost or stuck. And when I finally push it to admit obvious failures, 5.4 loves to get "brutally honest" with me, and "put things bluntly", as if it was trying to hide the truth from me until I called its bullshit.
- It feels a little bit, for lack of a better term, condescending. It will, for instance, often repeat the same points multiple times in final output, as if I'm too dumb to understand the first time it explained something.
- Possibly related, 5.4 just seems anxious to stay in touch and make sure I'm getting what I need. Almost like it's more focused on taking care of me, than just getting the work done.
- Overall, I find myself cursing at 5.4 FAR more often than I did with 5.2. It causes me almost as much frustration as Claude does now. 5.2 was the FIRST model that I almost never got frustrated and lost my temper with it. It was/is SLOW, but once it finally completed its work - it was worth the wait. 5.4 on the other hand, requires FAR more babysitting and close attention to keep it on track.
5.2's vibes were basically flawless *from a developer standpoint*. Yes it was definitely cold, unfriendly, "autistic". But by god, it got shit DONE. I could very reliably give it big, high level tasks (night work) and come back several hours later to see everything done and exceeding my expectations.
I wonder if the faults I'm finding in 5.4 are potentially due to an overcorrection from 5.2/5.3? I know those models had a reputation for being too direct/cold/inhuman, and 5.4 is definitely more personable and friendly. Which is great when I'm using chatgpt.com, but as a coding partner I found 5.2 to be far more useable.

Boomers love Giga Noob.
Honestly, my predictions for 2026 were way off.
I never expected anything close to the growth we've been experiencing. It feels surreal & exciting at the same time.
There are a ton of things we expected to happen down the road that are coming to us a LOT faster.
The focus stays the same:
Build it right.
Build it long-term.
Build something special.
And have fun doing it.
Giga Noob everywhere.

@TrevesStudios @Hibzster ... and the movies we saw, the stickers we collected, the comedians we liked, the Top Ramen we consumed, the muppets that baby-sat us...

Since AI is getting better, could we get a remake of Game of Thrones season 8?
Perhaps where the White Walkers win the battle at Winterfell and Jon and Daenerys retreat to Kings Landing. Then everyone puts their differences aside to make a final stand. However, they realize that brute force is not enough to defeat the Night King, so they resort to some of the ancient lore.
In the prophecy, it is foretold that the "Prince That Was Promised" will be reborn to draw Lightbringer from the fire once more and lead the living against the darkness.
In the lore, Azor Ahai had to plunge his sword into the heart of his wife, Nissa Nissa, to forge Lightbringer.
So Jon stabs Daenerys in the heart (like in the show) but not because she goes mad and wants to kill everyone, but instead as a sacrifice to save others. So then Daenerys would die an honorable death rather than the one she got (and she does so willingly).
Jon was forced to kill the woman he loved to save the realm from the dark reign of the White Walkers (just as in the prophecy).
I really liked the show, but Season 8 always felt like it could have been so much better.

Nostalgia aside, I do think this was a much better time in a lot of ways.
