thefounder··on MacBook Neo
8gb of ram is not performance.
thefounder··on MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max
So it still can’t run the big AI models locally due RAM limitations. Maybe next time!
thefounder··on The Pentagon is making a mistake by threatening Anthropic
Gemini is just the worst of the 3 horses. The gov will eventually make them all to bend the knee. PRISM already showed they(eventually) all comply. I personally see this more like PR for Anthropic before the IPO
thefounder··on OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation
At least they don’t SPAC their way into the public market but the answer to your question is yes!
thefounder··on OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation
Let the retailers decide this year at IPO! The heavy bags must be carried by someone
thefounder··on Anthropic drops flagship safety pledge
So much BS from this Anthropic company. They have a good product but just too much slope PR. It’s like they want you to hate them. I can’t stand their “safety” and national security crap when they talk about how open source models are so bad for everyone.
thefounder··on Stack Overflow Beta
Looks like the end of SO
thefounder··on Open Letter to Google on Mandatory Developer Registration for App Distribution
That’s just as bad. You need to take out the human error out of the equation.
thefounder··on Open Letter to Google on Mandatory Developer Registration for App Distribution
the main issue is the bank using sms and OTP apps instead of something like passkeys and mandatory in bank setup.
thefounder··on A simple web we own
I think the main issue with federated apps is the identity and moderation. Without identity verification is hard to moderate so you end up with closed systems where some big CO does the moderation at an acceptable level
thefounder··on Crawling a billion web pages in just over 24 hours, in 2025
Well the most important part seems to be glossed over and that’s the IP addresses. Many websites simply block /want to block anything that’s not google and is not a “real user”.
thefounder··on GPT 5.3 Codex wiped my F: drive with a single character escaping bug
Yes. It’s like Tesla FSD but for coding with the obvious/inevitable crashes
thefounder··on Tesla Sales Down 55% UK, 58% Spain, 59% Germany, 81% Netherlands, 93% Norway
>> It is good to remove human from the road, the faster the better.

I’m all for this but not to replace dumb people with dumb software. I think the FSD should be treated more like the airplane safety. We have the opportunity to do this right not just what’s the cheapest way we can get away with it.

Giving people more ways to shut themselves in the foot does not improve the safety. I find the entire thing a kind of dark pattern as the system along with misleading marketing makes you lax over time just to catch you off guard.

You get used with the system to work correctly and then when you expect less it does the unthinkable and the whole world blames you for not supervising a beta software product on the road on day 300 with the same rigour you did on day one.

I can see a very direct correlation with LLM systems. Claude has been working great for me until one day when it git reset the entire repo and I’ve lost two days work because it couldn’t revert a file it corrupted . This happened because I just supervised it just like you would supervise a FSD car with “bypass” mode. Fortunately it didn’t kill anyone , just two days of work lost. If there was the risk of someone being killed I would never allow a bypass /fsd/supervise mode regardless of how unlikely this is to happen.

thefounder··on Tesla Sales Down 55% UK, 58% Spain, 59% Germany, 81% Netherlands, 93% Norway
That’s irresponsible at best give it doesn’t support full self driving. I never understood why end users are allowed to just beta test a car on public roads.
thefounder··on GPT‑5.3‑Codex‑Spark
Yeah but using a different model for that? Ideally a skilled model that works with the IDE functionality/API would “solve” this issue.
thefounder··on Beginning fully autonomous operations with the 6th-generation Waymo driver
>> The fact that self-driving cars are not permitted on most of the world’s roads is 100% the fault of regulators and those who vote for them.

Maybe a part of the fault is also the self driving systems themselves that keep crashing and killing people. I don’t have data to say with certainty whether self driving cars are safer or less safe than humans(I think they are less safe especially if taken out of their “trial” zones/sampling) but I can tell you that is less acceptable for self driving cars to kill people than it is for humans for “obvious” reasons especially when the self driving cars do this due stupid mistakes that a human driver would not (I.e goes straight into another car in plain day).

thefounder··on GPT‑5.3‑Codex‑Spark
are there that many use cases for a model that you need code generated as fast as possible rather than better code at decent speeds?
thefounder··on Beginning fully autonomous operations with the 6th-generation Waymo driver
Yeah but imagine how hard robotics are if we can’t make a dam thing to just speed and turn correctly(I.e 2 params). You also seem to overestimate the inertia of the tech advantage. Being first is not always the most important thing. See google AI as prime example.
thefounder··on Gemini 3 Deep Think
Can you give an example of smartness where Gemini is better than the other 2? I have found Gemini 3 pro the opposite of smartness on the tasks I gave him (evaluation, extraction, copy writing, judging, synthesising ) with gpt 5.2 xhigh first and opus 4.5/4.6 second. Not to mention it likes to hallucinate quite a bit .
thefounder··on Gemini 3 Deep Think
Am I the only one that can’t find Gemini useful except if you want something cheap? I don’t get what was the whole code red about or all that PR. To me I see no reason to use Gemini instead of of GPT and Anthropic combo. I should add that I’ve tried it as chat bot, coding through copilot and also as part of a multi model prompt generation.

Gemini was always the worst by a big margin. I see some people saying it is smarter but it doesn’t seem smart at all.

thefounder··on The silent death of good code
The good thing is that now instead to spend 6 months - 1 year working on your app and making sure the code is just perfect you spend just a 1 or two , generate some garbage code but at least publish your app before you burn out. Once it gains some traction like it or not you gonna have to "fix the code" as well. I feel that AI is really a blessing for good programmers/coders because they start to focus more on the business of what they build than on the code.
thefounder··on Italy Railways Sabotaged
Why would someone do this?
thefounder··on The AI boom is causing shortages everywhere else
Whatever happened to crypto/blockchain ASICs
thefounder··on Why I Joined OpenAI
I think OpenAI will IPO at 1T. I don’t want to say bubble but it could be one of these stocks super hyped that never goes anywhere after the IPO(I.e airbnb during Covid)
thefounder··on The Waymo World Model
To me ChatGPT seems smarter and knows more. That’s why I use it. Even Claude rates gpt better for knowledge answers. Not sure if that itself is any indication. Claude seems superficial unless you hammer it to generate a good answer.
thefounder··on The Waymo World Model
But somehow google fails to execute. Gemini is useless for programming and I don’t think even bother to use it as chat app. Claude code + gpt 5.2 xhigh for coding and gpt as chat app are really the only ones that are worth it(price and time wise)
thefounder··on We tasked Opus 4.6 using agent teams to build a C Compiler
With that way of thinking you would just move in a cave.
thefounder··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
The business case for the current robot technology is weak or minimal. If you come up with the business case for a technology from the future then you can as well sell datacenters in space and nuclear power plants on Mars (built by the robots of course)
thefounder··on xAI joins SpaceX
I think you can get loans in the stock. That’s how “most people” live(and die)
