> Reddit’s shunning of AI has rendered it useless.

Hyperbole much?

This is a direct response to AI slop destroying a community; what’s your solution to the AI spam problem?

> presumably they just fixed that if statement and it's again chatbot-only.

Including the text for chat-bot only wasn’t an if statement.

If it had been an if statement, it wouldn’t be invisible to humans: it would just be visible. Period. There’s no need to display none.

Display none is for humans.

This was intended, without any need remotely to doubt it, to hide the text from humans.

Was it just incompetent implementation? Or nefarious? Who knows? Perhaps? …but there’s no universe this was ever intended to just be for chat bots.

Thats just obviously nonsense. It wasn’t a bug.

It was deliberate.

You can drop this right off the top of HN when the OP blatantly acknowledges that their entire post is BS.

“Oh, you can’t critique me, I said these were just speculative…”

No, but is it much of a stretch to say that the valuation and profit/loss are out of proportion?

…which, in a normal sane world, would affect the stock price?

2 trillion is a lot. I’m skeptical, for the same reasons listed in the report.

Its has nothing to do with Dario, and mostly to do with Chinese open weight models.

The controls are a finely tuned machine in starcraft, as evidenced by the competitive scene with crazy apm.

If you dislike the micro required, thats fine, but just because it doesnt suite your preference doesn't mean its bad or clunky.

Just say “I dont like it”.

Thats fine.

If you want to “get” it, devote a few days to playing online multiplayer.

> I certainly don't need my subscription anymore

Sure. I still use mine though; privately and at work.

> Nobody is going to use their tools in five years.

> they're dead. Just like half the people expecting to still be writing code by hand.

Hyperbole much. Leave it on LinkedIn man.

Who knows?

5 years is a long time.

They're trying to navigate the AI era just like everyone else.

You know what we got told at work? “Scrappy AI startups are snapping at our heels, we need to move fast so the competition doesn't over take us”

…but if you ask: what startups? Silence. If you ask, why are we scared of some teenager vibe coding a platform and stealing our customers? Silence.

Dont question the narrative.

Of course AI is an existential threat. Of course there are vibed startups trying to eat our market.

Have you not seen our share price?

Such hyperbolic BS. Ffs. Calm down.

Hm… I don’t think you should let claude run for 5 hours with a ten line prompt.

You’ll get “something” but what you get is certainly not going to be what you wanted.

Look, its not complicated:

1) be precise in what you want

2) have a feedback loop to verify it.

3) check in often, not once a day.

> Migrate the payment endpoints from the old client to the new one. Done means: every endpoint uses the new client, the old client is deleted, and the test suite passes.

What end point? What test suite? What is a client?

Maaaaybe the model can infer it from your code, but look, if a human taking that jira ticket would go: what does this mean? …then your model (yes, even 5.5) is going to make a bunch of assumptions.

Correct assumptions? Maybe. Maybe not. …but do you really want to find that out hours later?

Just say:

> Plan out the following as a set high level tasks: …

Then, review the plan and tell it to execute the plan, maybe something like; after each step, ensure the code base compiles and the tests pass.

Then, come back after one hour and make sure it’s on the right track.

Poorly specified long running tasks is a recipe for “rollback all those changes…”

> Filesystems as a weak abstraction.

Is a concept the author needs to get over.

> The ideal would be "across my entire computer and applications, what are the recent files I have interacted with" and expand that out to include emails and Teams/Slacks and everything. I should be able to see everything going on with my machine, search through it and not care if its stored inside of Slack or iCloud or whatever. Single pane of glass.

Nope. This would be great if it worked.

This idea of getting rid of the file system is very old, tired and has failed. And failed. And failed.

…and you know apps hate? Letting you out of their walled gardens.

> Microsoft tried it, people didn't like it,

Yup.

> but I think the concept makes sense.

Nope.

You’re going to have to do better than trying this again.

Something something local LLM? Mm.

It’s a Hard Problem. The kind of problem that random engineers look at and go “doesn’t seem that hard, I could do that in a weekend”.

…

> In the interest of full disclosure I think this is gonna take many weekends of work to even get a functional demo running. So I'll do my best, but be patient.

Okay, to be fair, the author did acknowledge that it’s a lot of work and it’s hard; and I look forward to seeing the result, because experiments in this space are interesting, the idea of a visual tmux maybe has some legs…

…but I think this project is too ambitious to succeed.

Not being the default isn't what stops these concept desktops from taking off; it’s that people don’t like them.

No file system, you just get “tasks” and an LLM to pray to and hope you get your data from?

:/ I don’t think it’ll fly.

Seems irrelevant? Of course we don’t use data for training.

…trust me bro.

It’s obviously easier to believe when they’re not training models.

Eh, anyway this whole thing is just an ad:

> Looking to take Ember-1 one step further, and optimize it for your use case? We are also launching training support for Ember-1, enabling enterprises to build customized, token-efficient models tailored to their needs with their own data. The future of open models is specialized models trained on your specific workload.

Probably, I guess, fancy serverless infrastructure actually makes virtually no difference to hosting really large models that people want to use, and “just” being an inference provider for open weight models turns out to have no moat.

So this is a bit of a pivot to “use our training infrastructure too…!” imo.

Pivot? Sure. Go them. Not what I signed up for though. /shrug

> It does imply that you’re blind to all the other aspects of games that bring people enjoyment.

Like what?

I’m not making a sweeping generalisation here about how people play games. We’re talking about chrono cross.

For a story driven JRPG like CT / CC specifically, if you don’t care about the characters or story, there is no reason to achieve any goal in the game.

I’m not so proud I can’t admit to being wrong; but in a JRPG there is no game without the character driven story. If you imagine replacing Kid and Serge with cardboard cutouts labeled A-san and B-san, what are you enjoying about the game?

Bluntly? Because it’s a meaningless opinion.

You like coding, but not the algorithms.

You like books but not the story.

This isn't “I will play it my way”; its heres a BS reason why legitimate critique can be dismissed out of hand.

“Oh, but for me its not about of the food tastes good”

Ok. Sure. You do You.

…but if someone says: that meal was rubbish and tasteless, is it so outrageous to call out “but I don't care about the taste” as incomprehensible nonsense to the majority of people?

Am I being outrageous here?

What does the the “rp” stand for in rpg?

You tell me.

You can downvote the parent post all you like, but…

> Personally I don't care much about stories in games

I cant relate to this.

Chrono trigger is a game I love because of the great story.

If you’re playing rpgs and you don't care about the story or characters…

I have no idea. Its like reading a book and saying you don't enjoy the story; you're what, just there for the physical motion of turning the pages?

No idea. Chrono cross left no impression on me. I agree with the parent post.

I feel like this is the same black hole as small local models.

Things people want to be awesome and true, and things that are actually awesome and true don't intersect the way people want them to.

…so if there was an easy way to do provably correct AI code, it would be nice.

…but I’d also like a frontier that runs on my raspberry pi and a cheap fully autonomous self driving car that just uses a single cell phone camera.

Unfortunately wanting those doesn't make them exist; and people telling you they do exist usually are either a) uninformed, or b) selling something.

My opinion is that it is pretty clear that they’re not going to do that.

> The rules governing the prizes describe the process for evaluating what has been achieved and for assigning credit. The process is deliberately unhurried, but we will provide updates.

I think “you don’t get anything straight away for rushing your AI into the maths problems, not even credit” aligns pretty fairly with what the fields medalists are concerned with.

Days until cursor announces open models… 3, 2, 1…

Seriously though, when the api providers start blacklisting cursor and they’re forced to swap to open weight models…

If that happens, what even is the difference between openrouter and cursor?
