Wow. Jeff and Sanjay both departing. Truly end of a golden era.

There is an entire cohort of work-optional very senior engineers for whom one of the last reasons for hanging on was "at least Jeff and Sanjay are around".

"2. AI misses important nuances. Better prompts could help."

My experience has been very different: I give it a ton of personal context (positions, portfolio, account balances etc). I find it's advice to be exceptional, even on advanced topics (tax planning, asset location, long-term planning and scenario testing).

None of the professionals I've engaged or consider engaging (2-3 orders of magnitude more expensive than annual cost of Pro/Max subscriptions) come close.

In fact, it (both Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5) found a tax overpayment issue my tax guy missed. I basically read out what Codex told me to the pro on the phone to get him to understand and acknowledge the issue. Paid for the annual subscription right there.

wow -- "Let's take something off your plate" just copied word-for-word from the Claude Cowork UI.

And it is above the fold in their hero image!

Big jump for sure, but definitely comes with a giant grain of salt lacking open-sourcing the harness itself and measuring performance on the held-out set.

6 months ago when Mag7 was overperforming everyone was worried about it being too high a fraction of the S&P500.

Memegen is a key part of the culture. Its default mode is over-the-top mocking, of course, with a grain of truth. Nobody and nothing is spared. C-level execs, products, the perf process.

So this by itself is not quite the scoop 404 media thinks it is. You could take the front page of memegen on any given day and construct twenty scandalous headlines of it.
