when gpt 5.3 codex came out they had a new process because they were worried about cyber abuse we pass through user IDs to them so they can block bad actors easily - and we see a ton of blocks if only they thought to do a whole marketing video on it

@tenobrus Does this have any implications for @aaruHQ @simile_ai etc's business model?

total oai dominance

feeling sort of gullible today, maybe due to selection effects

Enforcing the SCR designation on Anthropic would be very bad for our industry and our country, and obviously their company. We said to the DoW before and after. We said that part of the reason we were willing to do this quickly was in the hopes of de-esclation. I feel competitive with Anthropic for sure, but successfully building safe superintelligence and widely sharing the benefits is way more important that any company competition. I believe they would do something to try to help us in the face of great injustice if we could. We should all care very much about the precedent. I saw in some other tweet that I must not be willing to criticize the DoW (it said something about sucking their dick too hard to be able to say anything critical, but I assume this was the intent). To say it very clearly: I think this is a very bad decision from the DoW and I hope they reverse it. If we take heat for strongly criticizing it, so be it.

upgrading my free account to Claude Max in solidarity to my Claude brethren 🫡

Isn’t the business implication of mercor tweeting this sort of analogous to if nvidia proudly announced that openai managed to train their latest frontier model on 1 (one) GPU provided by NVIDIA

reminds me of someone

@felpix_ my brother in christ it’d be a little difficult for social studies to have produced transcendentalist writers given that it was established in 1960

@JulianL093 bro forgot FDR and every transcendentalist writer 😭

nobody has identified the fact that there are obviously bullshit majors invented to be bullshit majors, more so than the oft-targeted area studies (wgs, asian studies, etc.) harvard has a concentration called "social studies" yale got away with making "humanities" a major

@felpix_ i don’t think so, the harvard history department or english department probably has a comparably less impressive list of alumni actually

@JulianL093 this is because it’s harvard and not because it’s social studies. entirely non-unique

Yeah because anyone with the capability to actually do that is going to raise money from YC

“There are people who really know and those who know how to fake knowledge. You can only tell between the two if you yourself know. And the world is such that the guys who just speak end up in positions of power very often.”

@jsuarez have you tried codex

So I started drafting an article with my thoughts on Opus, but the more I use it, the more my opinion reverts back to LLMs being unable to reason. It's very clearly just template matching and not even doing that correctly. Still useful for unambiguous refactor ops, which I have a lot of in my current project, but not much else.

I am not saying this is a bad idea but it’s not exactly the ultra-novel source of recruiting alpha it’s being made out to be - half of OpenAI and Anthropic researchers are ex-quants including the head of research and former head of RL lol

Every time I ask my OpenAI friend, “When will you beat Claude at coding?” They say: “We already beat them.” I think Sam is realizing speed, not intelligence, is Codex’s blocker to a Claude Code moment. Cerebras chips might unlock a Codex moment.

i support tech founders and VCs who have legit conservative opinions / republican voters and are willing to engage in reasoned debate. but if youdefend recent actions in MN we aren’t in the same world of US constitution & democratic principles this country was founded on.
