jeffybefffy519··on Is Opus 5.5 nerfed? Thinking patterns changed on November 3
And also the frontier has made everyone pay for a subscription to write code... that was a rare thing in the past now its common.
jeffybefffy519··on OpenAI raises $11B at a $1.25T valuation
Have both OpenAI and Anthropic made a fundamental miscalculation here (and a lot of misteps) by targeting the top end of the valuation? Surely can only go down right?
jeffybefffy519··on Qwen 3.8 27B on my laptop can interpret model weights, too
Well Google could open source Gemini 4 Argon but they choose to release the lower tier models open source instead... Its an active choice they all make.
jeffybefffy519··on Anthropic's growth just flattened
I am actively pushing my workplace to scale back our AI usage (claude cowork)... the amount of AI slop being pushed between teams is off the charts and ends up creating a mountain of work for reviewers. Hurts productivity rather than improves it.
jeffybefffy519··on Cisco gives engineer unlimited AI tokens to rewrite legacy code
its never unlimited....
jeffybefffy519··on Anthropic S-1
In this timeline, can we really trust publicly reported numbers even?
jeffybefffy519··on Moderna and Merck say their mRNA cancer vaccine cut death, recurrence by 42%
Seems like absolutely huge news, and hopefully getting it approved means it can be developed even more...
jeffybefffy519··on No signs of AI payoff outside the tech sector
I dont even think theres a payoff in the software dev.... seems to be great to spin something up quick as a POC, then maintaining it requires people immediately who struggle with reading the amount of code it produces.
jeffybefffy519··on GitLab critical patch release
Gitlab has such a high rate of vulns, this release ahas 13 fixed and in a week there will probs be another 10
jeffybefffy519··on Anthropic logged net loss of over $80B in first half of 2026
I think this is why Anthropic is pushing so hard towards the platform side of things. They are trying to build their own source control, document storage, artifacts etc... That's why people will buy it because it becomes an operating system for businesses enabled by AI.
jeffybefffy519··on Tesla Roadster
Its for influencers
jeffybefffy519··on Suicide rates highest ever among middle-aged men
Can you suggest some things foreigners could do to help the situation in Ukraine?
jeffybefffy519··on Things to know when you get cancer
But OpenAI said we have AGI now...
jeffybefffy519··on Apple HomeView
No Apps is such a strange choice, like really anti consumer....
jeffybefffy519··on Why are coding agents so dumb?
When i used subagents with codex, it made tasks take literally 10x longer with a worse result.... seems unncessary.

The big thing that no one talks about will and always be having an agent help refine requirements with you and understand real world users... thats what real devs know and do - its the difference between slop and good.

jeffybefffy519··on Japan's most famous tuna buyer says he turned Somali pirates into fishermen
Somali pirates WERE fishermen before being pirates... They turned to piracy to combat other countries fishing their waters.
jeffybefffy519··on Figma restricts MCP access to whitelisted clients, excluding Pi
The smartest thing they could have done is a platform play which is to try make their own React that was Figma native. A hard thing to do, but certainly doable if you consider where React is now...
jeffybefffy519··on Figma restricts MCP access to whitelisted clients, excluding Pi
I always thought it was weird that Figma didnt close the gap of taking a design and implementing it in code, that seems like what AI could enable too...
jeffybefffy519··on Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet?
Didnt Opus 4.8 suddenly get more verbose mid release, as in it was released and responded normally then got annoyingly verbose weeks later?
jeffybefffy519··on GLM-5.3 and the spread of advanced cyber capabilities
Didnt we try ban export of cryptography at one point, surely this is going to go very badly to try ban chinese models... its totally unenforceable.
jeffybefffy519··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
Spotted the person who hasn't used these yet....
jeffybefffy519··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
Its almost like the "frontier" is a load of marketing bullshit and we should ignore it....
jeffybefffy519··on Research finds 485 chemicals in US pesticide products linked to breast cancer
But also, another way to frame this is "Linked to" is a keyword indicating we dont know enough positive or negatively for human impact, and therefore its a long term experiment.
jeffybefffy519··on Creatine uptake enhances antitumor immunity
Heres a question, this threat is interesting and OpenAI is saying they are at AGI with Astra.... so can we give Astra all the papers on creatine, and all the anecdotal evidence in this thread and get it to produce any new insights to answer why people have different experiences, and why theres some reports of it being cancer fighting and why theres some that arent...?

Just feel if we are at AGI, and its amazing then we should be able to do our own research with it on these topics...

jeffybefffy519··on US criticises Australia's proposed algorithm opt-out laws as 'censorship'
By your logic then, shouldn't algorithms be banned? If a U16 is going to turn to social media, and the feed is not in chronological order then how do we even guarantee that they will see what is happening in the moment when an algorithm is making the choice for them...

Seems more like, if they see something suspicious or are worried about it - dont go to your phone, just leave the situation as fast as possible. As usual, education and critical thinking is the answer.

jeffybefffy519··on US criticises Australia's proposed algorithm opt-out laws as 'censorship'
How you went from U16 social media ban to the worst terrorist attack in AU history since port arthur therefore social media good is staggering...
jeffybefffy519··on M5 Ultra Mac Studio Review
And not have to worry about them training on your data even tho you ticked a box saying "dont do that".
jeffybefffy519··on How OpenAI Used Its Own LLMs to Design Its Jalapeño Chip
Cant AI build foundries?
jeffybefffy519··on How GLM built its own inference infrastructure
Restrictions make people innovate....

Slightly similar is US sanctions on NK & Russia causing a restriction of foreign currency - so they turned to cyber crime to get it...

jeffybefffy519··on Why is Google still serving dodgy ads?
Money is the answer
