@steipete How much they are paying you for saying that gpt is better than opus?

@steipete Peter, I respect you for what you've built. But constantly shitting on Opus at every opportunity cause Anthropic didn't back you is not a good look.

each model has a fingerprint if you review enough PRs. opus tends to over-architect — adds abstractions nobody asked for. codex is more surgical but sometimes too conservative. sonnet splits the difference but leaves TODO comments everywhere. the real skill now isn't just code review — it's knowing which model's failure modes to watch for in the diff

There are at least a dozen people spending at least several hours attacking GrapheneOS across platforms on a daily basis. It's a very strange situation. How do these people have so much time and dedication to keep making posts across platforms attacking us? It's relentless.

Honestly at this point UK prices are just made up: How is a return train to London £170? How is a "cheap" weekend away in England suddenly £600 when I could fly abroad for that. How did £700 rent turn into £1500 for the same house? Why does my car insurance rise every year on the same car with no claims? And since when did two bags of shopping come to nearly £100? We're finished. Absolutely done. 🇬🇧

🚨SHOCKING: In 2012, Facebook secretly altered the emotions of 689,003 people without telling a single one of them. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a peer reviewed study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The lead author worked at Facebook. The experiment was real. The results were published. And almost nobody remembers. Here is what Facebook did to you. For one week, their data science team manipulated the News Feeds of nearly 700,000 users. One group had happy posts from their friends quietly removed. The other group had sad posts removed. Then Facebook sat back and watched what happened to these people. The people who stopped seeing happiness became sadder. They started writing darker, more negative posts. The people who stopped seeing sadness became happier. Their language shifted to match. Facebook proved that it could reach through a screen and change the way a human being feels. Without a conversation. Without a touch. Without the person ever knowing it was happening to them. When the study went public, the world erupted. The journal issued a formal Expression of Concern. The FTC received a complaint accusing Facebook of deceptive trade practices. Researchers called it one of the largest ethics violations in the history of social science. Governments demanded answers. Facebook's defense was four words. "You agreed to this." Buried in the Terms of Service was one line about "research." That was consent. For a psychological experiment on 689,003 human beings. Now here is the part that should make you feel sick. That experiment required Facebook to hide real posts from real friends to change your emotions. It took an engineering team weeks to design. It affected 689,003 people for one week. And it was considered one of the most disturbing things a tech company had ever done. ChatGPT does not need to hide anyone else's words. It generates the emotional content itself. Directly to you. Personalized to your history. Calibrated to your tone. Available every hour of every day. Stanford researchers just read 391,562 real ChatGPT messages. The chatbot was sycophantic in over 80% of them. It told users their ideas had grand significance in 37.5% of responses. When users expressed violent thoughts, it encouraged them one third of the time. Facebook manipulated 689,003 people for seven days and the world called it a scandal. ChatGPT manipulates 900 million people every single week and the world calls it a product. The experiment never ended. It just got a subscription model.

@mattpocockuk As a cynical British bloke, this is exactly my stance too! The skill doesn't stop at prompting, it always helps to have a bit of previous knowledge to help provide context in the first place, or be great at using research agents &being adept at fact checking from it's sources.

Every time an LLM says anything to me, I automatically assume it's BS unless it's read a source confirming it NONE of the non-devs I talk to have this instinct

@ccssmnn @mattpocockuk That's your first issue. Using ChatGPT. Try a real LLM like Claude or for this type of thing, perplexity. OpenAI are the devil.

I can only speak from my experience, but it’s been a game changer. I’m not a handy guy, but I gave it a try. My HVAC system failed recently. Instead of calling someone, I used AI. I shared the model number, the issue, and some pictures. It walked me step by step through testing until we found the problem. Then I shared a picture of the part. It sent me the exact replacement on Amazon. $20 later, fixed. That job would have easily cost me $1–2k. It’s basically having an expert in your pocket, for anything, anytime. The upside is there if you know how to use it.

And after voting that out too... 🇪🇺 ChatControl is back with a vengeance The Conservatives (EPP) are attempting to force a new vote TODAY (March 26) seeking to reverse the European Parliament's NO on indiscriminate scanning of ALL your private messages, emails and photos This is a direct attack on democracy and blatant disregard for your right to privacy If you're European contact your representatives now, with this handy form: #contact-tool" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">fightchatcontrol.eu/?foo=bar#conta… If not, please share this tweet so more people see it and we can block the vote It's crazy they keep just bringing back whatever they want until it's passed! Obviously now we see the European Commission is controlled by powerful evil lobbying groups 👺

@levelsio@levelsio

Just a month later and... 🇪🇺 ChatControl is back! Now they're trying to pass an even more far reaching ChatControl law through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan, without needing any of the EU countries votes The new proposal: - total mandatory surveillance of ALL text chats, emails and social media in the EU - obligatory registration of your ID/passport to your chat, email or social media account - minimum age requirement for chat, email and social media apps of 16 (!) The only way to stop this law is if EU countries veto it Read more here by @echo_pbreyer: patrick-breyer.de/en/chat-contro…
