@Handre 🙏

@garymeyerca Goeie werk tjom. Sounds about right.

@karpathy @tomfgoodwin do you disagree with this?

Judging by my tl there is a growing gap in understanding of AI capability. The first issue I think is around recency and tier of use. I think a lot of people tried the free tier of ChatGPT somewhere last year and allowed it to inform their views on AI a little too much. This is a group of reactions laughing at various quirks of the models, hallucinations, etc. Yes I also saw the viral videos of OpenAI's Advanced Voice mode fumbling simple queries like "should I drive or walk to the carwash". The thing is that these free and old/deprecated models don't reflect the capability in the latest round of state of the art agentic models of this year, especially OpenAI Codex and Claude Code. But that brings me to the second issue. Even if people paid $200/month to use the state of the art models, a lot of the capabilities are relatively "peaky" in highly technical areas. Typical queries around search, writing, advice, etc. are *not* the domain that has made the most noticeable and dramatic strides in capability. Partly, this is due to the technical details of reinforcement learning and its use of verifiable rewards. But partly, it's also because these use cases are not sufficiently prioritized by the companies in their hillclimbing because they don't lead to as much $$$ value. The goldmines are elsewhere, and the focus comes along. So that brings me to the second group of people, who *both* 1) pay for and use the state of the art frontier agentic models (OpenAI Codex / Claude Code) and 2) do so professionally in technical domains like programming, math and research. This group of people is subject to the highest amount of "AI Psychosis" because the recent improvements in these domains as of this year have been nothing short of staggering. When you hand a computer terminal to one of these models, you can now watch them melt programming problems that you'd normally expect to take days/weeks of work. It's this second group of people that assigns a much greater gravity to the capabilities, their slope, and various cyber-related repercussions. TLDR the people in these two groups are speaking past each other. It really is simultaneously the case that OpenAI's free and I think slightly orphaned (?) "Advanced Voice Mode" will fumble the dumbest questions in your Instagram's reels and *at the same time*, OpenAI's highest-tier and paid Codex model will go off for 1 hour to coherently restructure an entire code base, or find and exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems. This part really works and has made dramatic strides because 2 properties: 1) these domains offer explicit reward functions that are verifiable meaning they are easily amenable to reinforcement learning training (e.g. unit tests passed yes or no, in contrast to writing, which is much harder to explicitly judge), but also 2) they are a lot more valuable in b2b settings, meaning that the biggest fraction of the team is focused on improving them. So here we are.

@yimingdothan Different angle.

it's finally spring

@dereklwalker @nosenkoscott 😂

@nosenkoscott That was sarcasm.

I think an account executive has hacked this account. Anytime I heard some jagoff on an interview say this to me, I knew I wasn’t gonna take the job. AE hack when creative isn’t presenting: put a shitty AE idea in the deck, the AE will be a cheerleader for ALL the ideas. Simps

@Matthew86744190 Worth it ya?

@garymeyerca Haven't had coffee in a few mths

I stopped drinking coffee about a month ago. It still smells amazing but now it tastes awful.

People will soon have to decide between their hate for Elon and the safety of their family.

RT @byronrode: I built gotthetime.app in 2023. I launched it and never did anything with it. I've put it on sale for the next 7 da…

@byronrode Which pi are you using?

Some interesting nuance using `gemma4:26b` vs the gpt5.x family with pi. You need to be a bit more direct: "fix this feedback" vs just pasting the feedback. Running it on openclaw as well, to see how it fairs.

@Saint_n0mad I love this.

designed purely minimalist and thoughtful serviceability

I’ve hit my weekly limits. So now what?

@Cappy_Nate I’m in.

Started an Actual Canadian Builders group chat. -Hardware -Software -Space -Defence -Web3 -Health -AI -Energy -Manufacturing You name it. But it's a Canadian only zone. 🇨🇦 If you want in, drop your name in the comments and ping anyone who should be there! LFG! 💪🇨🇦🏗️🚀

@steipete @garrytan I can’t wait to set this up to manage that one mention I get every few weeks.

@garrytan Now they just need to ship a "sign in with X" mode with some free readonly quota. Current setup way is so painful.

On the heels of @steipete complaining that X makes it much much slower to access X on Lex Fridman... this is a huge move. Thanks X team!

If you want to understand @elonmusk all you need to look at this picture. How *dare* we not have an offsite back up?

@daverade Sadly bad, but maybe that’s because my experience was 100% the tv show as a child and not the graphic novels.

@garymeyerca Is your mind leaning towards good or bad? I saw the trailer the other day and it got my interest.

This new trailer has not changed my mind. youtu.be/X21JsHLHnY8?si…

@byronrode @daverade How do you guys handle the boredom of running. To think clearly I need my brain to be occupied. Running at 50kph would do that 😂

@daverade Same bud. I have run twice (I think) since Nov. Hating it

I f*cking miss running. This year has been injury and illness and I've just not gotten going. It's my personal time, with my thoughts. I've hit the gym hard in the last 5 weeks, but being on the road is... different for me.

You can just learn anything.

@yacineMTB Obviously. I’m not an animal.

@garymeyerca Uhhhhh have you considered helping build the mesh

instead of getting your kid a phone, set up a mesh network in your city and keep in contact with them over 915mhz
