Most people don't really have intuitions on what it means to push the frontier now (because AI has surpassed everything they are good at, for example, coding). We are truly inside the singularity (using Kurzweil's definition, slightly paraphrased - the time when technology progresses so fast no one can keep track with it).
It's not really about hacking, but it depicted technology and hacking in an extraordinarily level of correctness.
The only question that you have to ask yourself is:
Is coming up with more efficient AI architecture really much more difficult than solving millennium prize problems?
Before you jump to type out that one has verifiable rewards, is more structured and the other requires real creative thinking, just remember that the same argument has been said about the millennium problems, and about every other goalpost.
I wanted to really keep Claude but ChatGPT voice mode is too good tbh and no other comes close. I wish I could use Opus 5.5 for coding.
2) OpenRouter PAYG, mostly for experimenting with Chinese models like Deepseek and GLM, usually for stuff that Codex or Grok refuses to do.
Had been looking into NEAR and Venice for completely private information processing (like emails) but haven't set them up yet.
3) Codex, and OpenCode as harnesses basically.
4) I really wish I could decide on some agent orchestrator without trying them out for weeks. I like my tools highly powerful and trying to find recommendation for this online is hopeless because it's full of opinion from people who never used a terminal before.
5) Grok Bot for running experiments with supplements, calory tracking etc.. Tried to set up Hermes a couple of times but hated it every time. Just gave Rakazo a try yesterday and still hating it.
Gosh, I dream about the time when you could look at a github repo and make a decent guess about the quality of the software.
RL is not dependent on training data. The mathocalypse didn't happen because they found better training data somewhere.
Sorry, I'm sick of this kind of language games. If the loop really closed they wouldn't be calling it "close to RSI". Yhis is just not how the word "but" works in English.
I built this to aggregate all the aggregators (like HackerTube, Hackerbooks etc.) that were popular a few days ago (they go back to 2011, at least).

I am generalist senior software engineer who thrives at hard, challenging problems. At a cybersecurity startup, I built and shipped the frontend and platform single-handedly in eight months, all of that before agentic coding.I also co-founded a startup and built its product end to end. I maintained about 100 packages in nixpkgs. I have a master's degree in mathematics, and did some research in inverse reinforcement learning.
I love things like: Emacs, NixOS, functional programming, category theory.
I'm looking for a generalist, full-stack or applied AI role on a high-agency, low-bullshit team. If you're building something ambitious, let's talk.
