To the people who are crying because I use 'best model ever' quite often: I'm not testing cheeseburgers here. I'm not testing a product that's been solved for hundreds of years I'm testing an emerging, hyperscaling technology that is getting trillions of dollars invested into it You should be more surprised if I ever review a model and DON'T say it's the greatest ever Why would they release a model that was worse than the previous version? If OpenAI released ChatGPT 5.6 and it was worse than 5.5, the global economy would crash. It would prove the trillions of dollars being invested into AI was a waste and we hit a wall "Greatest tech ever" should be the expectation for every model release. Anything less is a massive disappointment and horrendous waste of money What should be more surprising? If Opus 5 is better than Opus 4.8 or worse than Opus 4.8? As for why almost EVERY review I do is highly complementary: I don't review models I don't like. I don't use models for 5 minutes then film videos. I use models for hours if not days, build tons of tooling and products, then tell you what I think. I'm not going to use crap models for hours and waste my time. Why would I use anything other than the best? It's the reason you've never seen me release a video on a Meta model or 99% of the Chinese models. They're not good. Why would I spend hours using them? I'm only going to use the best models for enough time to give you an educated review If I ever release a video for a model and don't call it incredible, then that company must have put a gun to my head because I'm not going to spend hours using a technology that doesn't impress me If any of this bothers you, I got good news, the unfollow button is in the top right. I highly encourage you to use it. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy these videos! They come 100% out of passion and wanting to help educate others. I've taken maybe 3 sponsorships the last 5 years. I'm not going to be one of those phonies that put 'promoted post' on 50% of their content and put cringe lame reaction gifs under corporate slop captions and launch videos. This content comes purely from the love of technology, and I hope that shines through!

ChatGPT 5.6 is the greatest technology I've ever used I've been testing it in early access and I can confidently say it's as smart as Fable for a fraction of the price It's harness is also 100x better Here's everything you need to know about getting the most out of ChatGPT 5.6

@thatsKAIZEN The other day our 14-year-old, aware that her social feeds aren’t a reliable source of information, asked where she could go for something more unbiased. My wife’s response? “Start with Kaizen.” Keep doing what you’re doing.

I get asked over and over again why I support people who hate me. My answer to them is always “No, I don’t support leftists…”

@mattvanswol @PatriciaHeaton I just got a bill from the IRS for a balance due of $6k for a small business that, after 27 years, I shuttered a year ago. It might be due, it might be an error, but the government will chase me down while allowing billions in fraudulent payments. This is not the way.

@PatriciaHeaton Based on the response to this video, I'd say 99% of everyone is feeling this way. It's just so frustrating to see fraudsters get away with serious, massive crimes while normal people like me are working our asses off. It's gotta stop. Something has to dramatically change.

The Left told me Trump hates blacks, is a fascist, and will end democracy in America. That anything bad he says defines him, and anything good he says is a lie. Now, the Right tells me Zohran hates Jews, is a communist, and will bring jihad to New York. That anything bad he says defines him, and anything good he says is a lie. We must end the endless pendulum swing of hysteria. We must stop demonizing everyone we disagree with. We must listen to long form. We must read words and context, not minds. We can see the good in those we consider bad. We can pick a side, but remember America is also our tribe.
Kaizen D. Asiedu@thatsKAIZEN

Calling Zohran a jihadist won't work. Calling him a communist won't work. Attacking him makes his support stronger. Despite disagreeing with socialism, I listened to several hours of long-form to understand his appeal. If you want to understand, this will help you too.

What's your longest Notes app file? I've got one at 1500. Where do I sit in the world of long note takers?

@all_in_tok @Jason @theallinpod Maybe the best quote from the event. And FINALLY pulled together a poker night with my buddies this past Thursday because of it.

"The thing I'm probably most proud of now is people are telling me they are having more difficult conversations with their friends, while remaining friends." -@jason on his motivation for doing @theallinpod "Invest in your friends, invest in those hard conversations, your life will become so rich because of it."

Parents, I’ve figured it out. You have to hide your charging cable in a spot so obscure no child will ever think to look there.
