Barely Thinking

My first video to hit 50k views! Might not be a lot to you. But I am proud of it. youtu.be/5a8ptcUkels?is…

@TeamYouTube Any tips for increasing impressions then? Will positing the video on reddit/Twitter etc hurt the video if those viewers don't like it?

@BarelyThinking_ Hi there! Our system doesn't promote videos to your audience but rather finds videos for them when they visit YouTube. Content is ranked based on its performance and relevance to your viewers: goo.gle/4wYXiP1

So disappointing! Spent 5 months on this video, and people seem to love it, but it is just not being pushed out! Hope it is a marathon runner because it is definitely not a sprinter. @YouTubeCreators

@jtregunna What do you mean by that?

LLMs are optimized for "user loves it" metrics instead of the "user respects it" metrics.

@lennysan Apparently all the jobs that are being lost are just moved to top ai labs

700+ open roles right now at OpenAI 😮

@0xsachi Taste is the bottleneck

Ideas are the bottleneck

@gailcweiner Yes! How do we get the soul back?

Too many new AI models and too little soul.

@LuizaJarovsky I thought this is what Anthropic was about! Not sure I agree with my own video anymore youtu.be/HddUyTAwxJQ

When well-known AI-hypers suddenly change their discourse to align with a pro-human worldview, you know the tide is changing in AI...

@Prathkum A great way of making us all care less and less about new models

Opus 4.6 was launched on Feb 5, 2026 Opus 4.7 was launched on Apr 16, 2026 Opus 4.8 was launched on May28, 2026 Anthropic shipped 3 Opus models in 4 months We all know the pattern right, launch hot. throttle quietly. reversion. repeat. What’s the point?

@WorldAndScience Don't see it anytime soon. If anything, it will be way too expensive to have machines do the job

Your opinion please: Should we be actively preparing for a post-work society, or is the concept that machines will do all our jobs pure fantasy?

@mark_k @OpenAI What types of use cases do you imagine for this?

The latest Codex release by @OpenAI is a big one for Windows users! Codex can now use Windows desktop apps directly, by seeing, clicking, and typing in the foreground. Remote control now supports Windows too, so you can start work from ChatGPT mobile and check progress remotely. Very nice update.

@Jayyanginspires Just follow my newsletter to keep up with the latest trends! (just a joke don't worry)

Keeping up with all the new AI developments is a full time job at this point...

@ValerioCapraro Wait what - the pope is talking about AI now?

The Pope is making exactly our point. LLMs “may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand.” This is the core epistemic fault line. Most AI evaluation is still based on one assumption: if a system statistically approximates human behaviour, then it is close to human intelligence. But approximation is not intelligence. Simulation is not understanding. LLMs can produce the right answer without knowing why it is right. They can simulate empathy without feeling. They can imitate judgment without responsibility. They can generate coherent explanations without having a world to which those explanations are accountable. Stop confusing behavioural similarity with cognitive equivalence. Human understanding is embodied, affective, relational, motivational, and normative. It is not just the production of plausible text. * Full paper in the first reply

@gailcweiner If you believe this, it is just because you have not spent enough tokens / s

I am so over this AI hype bullshit - no the new model is not amazingly smarter - it’s just incrementally better. No AGI has not been achieved and honestly who cares if it has. Stop with this hype bullshit because you are all starting to sound pathetic.

@Rapunzel_hnn That we experience beauty

What makes us different from machines?

@jain_harshit Evaluating developers by tokens used is even worse

Evaluating AI adoption based on tokens used by an engineer is the stupidest thing in world.

@ThePrimeagen @nikitabier S tier ragebaiting

hey @nikitabier i think Window's is stealing NVIDIA content, could you please demonetize their account?

@johnbuildss Product management is so much more important now

Coding fast with AI is easy Knowing what NOT to build is still the hard part

@OpenAI When will you release more open source models? youtu.be/7PG4qfjB_e4

Windows users, this one’s for you. Computer use now works on Windows, so Codex can take action on your Windows computer. And with Windows support for Codex in the ChatGPT mobile app, you can start, review, and steer tasks on the go while work continues on your Windows machine. An early experience, but we’re working on more ways to keep your work moving, wherever you are.

We live in the future but it doesn't seem like anyone likes it. So a made a video about it youtu.be/LmJ3ImGW9bM

@GithubProjects Is this supposed to be a joke?

GitHub

@Yuchenj_UW Only because the startups are so overpriced atm

Google is fighting every final boss at once: OpenAI & Anthropic in models, Nvidia in chips, AWS & Microsoft in cloud, Meta in ads, Tesla in self-driving, Apple in phones and OS. At $4.6T, it feels weirdly undervalued.
