Reading comments like this is so depressing because it was extremely obvious that better results were a matter of time/hardware. It evokes the seem feeling as that trump quote about "who knew healthcare could be so complicated".

We essentially need a human interface for llm-based projects

Some simple rules that would work better:

- Projects should have someone that understands the overall project at a systems level

- If you link to a github, or code project, it can't be ai-written, it has to be a clear README, maybe with some code examples. But, it can call the other project that has AI generated stuff.

> GPT OSS 120b

It's extremely frustrating that these fast models are very old at this point. Chat jimmy launched in february, and nothing has come of it, not even GA let alone improvements with intelligence.

AI is currently moving so fast, that might as well be a lifetime.

We get SOTA from anthropic/openai every few weeks on models that seem to focus on one useful thing (e.g. opus) and then 5 useless things like booking restuarants. We're ignoring really useful applications for some reason.

It took jev to shake things up. I remember seeing reactions that were basically "people want this? the big labs probably have some version of this lying around"... and it's like yea, maybe these labs need to fix their priorities a little bit.

Not even the singularity can fix php.

But all jokes aside, we're entering a new era where there's a paradox of pro-AI people going AI is really good, but not that good... when it kind of is that good.

We'll probably have ai monitors as a service, but the bulk of the safety should come from AI doing better job of reviewing tricky bugs since humans refuse to spend effort on writing more formal specifications.

Google has lost a lot of it's sheen for me. It's not really the 2010s anymore where their brand really used to mean something as a step above all the other tech companies.

Nowadays, I care about their recommendations as much as the ones from microsoft, or ibm.

Still big companies, lots of smart people, but nothing above norm.

What does this even mean?

There are other git projects hosted on multiple platforms. Pretty sure linux kernel is hosted in more places than github, and kept in sync because it's based on git.

What research did you base this on?

so this is software now?

youtuber vibe codes a transpiler says they're not going to bother maintaining it - but big company like cloudflare takes it seriously enough to absorbe into their own official services.

What is happening?

What is even software dev anymore?

What didnt the labs or cloudflare do this themselves, I mean they did, but then if it's all vibe coded, why do they need someone else's vibe coded stuff?

How is any of this serious?

Why are the comments pointing out there were warning signs early on being downvoted/flagged?

I looked at the linked comments, and they seem valid. I mean I dont want to go full tinfoil hat here, but what's the deal? Some people just really like opencode or something?

> It's not any more complicated than that.

It is more complicated than that when the valuations and business plans are contingent on those companies AI having complete dominance at every level.

If companies only use frontier models for occasional difficult tasks, not only does that affect volume, it basically elminates stickiness and incentivizes companies to instead of using their products continuosly, find ways to move from the expensive stuff to the cheaper stuff.

Please, not this shit again.

Ford is already removing bike lanes.

Tax dollars to put in bike lanes, and then tax dollars to remove them.
