the13··on AI needs $6T in annual revenue to justify data centre boom
Patience. I know it's hard being a huge AI fanboy among artist and Lib Arts friends who are in a cult of perma doom and hate. But I see artists using AI to make AI art that is fantastic and doesn't waste fossil fuels unlike Christopher Nolan's performative movie, The Odyssey.

Meta Muse, the #1 downloaded iOS app in the world, is only a few weeks old.

Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5 and Astra 6 are only a few days or weeks old.

Get new friends. They are holding you back and they will never trust you again anyway because you "betrayed" humanity by being a huge AI fanboi.

the13··on Feeling Sad about AI
This dinosaur is obsolete because people who know how to program AND learn AI tools will have jobs and he won't. Learn to Claude.
the13··on Don't give them the time of day
"these people are hypocrites. They are the boys who constantly call wolf."

You could say this about the AI Safety bros who think odds are greater than 10% we're going extinct within a decade.

the13··on More questions about whether researchers can trust OpenAI with unpublished math
No, people need to take responsibility for their actions. We don't need more over regulation.

Verify, don't trust.

You're better off running a model locally, or, if you must, using Google or Microsoft products. Even Meta may be better than OpenAI here.

"may" = will, unless they screw up
the13··on Nvidia Announces Financial Results for Second Quarter Fiscal 2027
Market cares a lot more about Nvidia's forecasts (& profits), & the impact of the highly levered AI ecosystem on Nvidia than this quarterly revenue beat.

Hyperscalers are effectively running a trillion‑dollar BNPL program for frontier labs (and OpenAI's numbers - unlike Anthropic's - suck), advancing capex today and relying on multi‑year RPO payments tomorrow. These payments that can only be funded if the labs continuously refinance their equity at rising valuations.

Deceleration is here. Brace for impact.

the13··on LLMs aren't conscious (and thinking they are is culturally dangerous)
Because so many #keep4o supporters on X and r/MyBoyfriendIsAI have AI girlfriends and are super invested in AI being conscious because they can NOT cut it in the real world.
the13··on To have a moral stance on AI is to be an outcast, and it sucks
there's no hope for you in your future with that fine attitude.
the13··on To have a moral stance on AI is to be an outcast, and it sucks
Agree, you're technically correct, and AI it's solving Erdos problems, even if we don't know exactly how or why. More mech interp & other research will help. https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2060451757818601808
the13··on To have a moral stance on AI is to be an outcast, and it sucks
Thanks to people being glued to social media & other rage bait machines on their phones.
the13··on To have a moral stance on AI is to be an outcast, and it sucks
AI is now much better and much more accurate than it was even a few months ago. Use Opus 4.8, etc.

Terence Tao is more credible to me than the views OP expresses in this heart felt, well intentioned but outdated essay.

the13··on Ask HN: What has HN given you?
Tech News and a window into the world of smart bitter men who are far less accomplished and respected than they really want to be.
the13··on I believe there are entire companies right now under AI psychosis
The entire problem is vibe coding is only good for demos, prototyping and finding signs of product market fit without actually releasing a product into the market.

You should not release a product into the market unless you have a good enough product that can keep you and your client compliant, safe and secure - including not leaking their customer info all over the place.

Prompt injection risk, etc. are massive for agentic AI without deterministic guardrails that actually work in practice.

Stop testing in production if you're shipping in a regulated industry. Ridic!

If you're not technical, you can get someone who is after signs of p-m fit, demos, but BEFORE deployment. This is common sense and best practices but startup bros dgaf because they're just good at sales and marketing & short term greedy.

Comical.

the13··on I believe there are entire companies right now under AI psychosis
no one's getting fired for hiring either one.
the13··on Supporting critical Open Source with $5M credits for vulnerability detection
This is part marketing, part doing God's work.
the13··on VS Code inserting 'Co-Authored-by Copilot' into commits regardless of usage
Default or mandatory gift authorship?
the13··on Elon Musk Seemingly Admits xAI Has Used OpenAI's Models to Train Its Own
Distilling this.
the13··on U.S. Senators Vote to Ban Themselves from Trading on Prediction Markets
Just prediction markets? They should be banned from all trading and active investing, period.
the13··on The future of everything is lies, I guess: Where do we go from here?
THIS. But the car/oil companies did do bad things like work to undermine public transport & EVs back in day. Now we have sprawling burbs & social isolation. Phones, death of 3rd spaces & church going, etc. made it worse as people stopped having bigger families, leading to even more isolation.
the13··on Codex for almost everything
Yeah but has that really happened? Anthropic doesn't have the compute so everyone can switch to Claude for a couple months, get nerfed, switch back. Gemini has horrible UX.
the13··on Claude Opus 4.7 Model Card
What makes you think that? "it reads like a Claude Mythos model card that was hastily edited to be an Opus 4.7 model card"
the13··on Claude Opus 4.7 Model Card
Be brief. No one wants AI boyfriend users who drone on & on about their day.
the13··on Turn your best AI prompts into one-click tools in Chrome
Any you can share?
the13··on Turn your best AI prompts into one-click tools in Chrome
OP. & I bet some people will want to play with it at least. Maybe it'll inspire builders to build something they themselves want.
the13··on Turn your best AI prompts into one-click tools in Chrome
I like it. Have you tried putting this in your LLM system prompt?
the13··on Mythos Just Proved the Alignment Field Is Building the Wrong Thing
B-. OP correctly diagnoses control as a failing paradigm for frontier models like Mythos. BUT his biological solution isn't supported by data.
the13··on Autonomy Is Real Now
separating identity from my credit card (so I can just pay cash) seems a worthwhile option.
the13··on “This telegram must be closely paraphrased before being communicated to anyone”
How German, LOL.
the13··on 30 minutes with a stranger
Skill issue. Or social anxiety. Ask me how I know!
the13··on Qwen3: Think deeper, act faster
