GPT-5.5 - Hackdot

Who else is trying to leverage the situation so that they don't dig their own grave too fast ?

    - I often don't ask the LLM for precompiled answers, i ask for a standalone cli / tool
    - I often ask how it reached its conclusions, so I can extend my own perspective
    - I often ask to describe it's own metadata level categorization too

I'm trying to use it to pivot and improve my own problem solving skills, especially for large code base where the difficulty is not conceptual but more reference-graph size

This is absolutely the proper way to do things. People either being forced to speed-code by KPIs or without the desire to understand what they’re making are missing out on how quickly you can learn and refine using LLMs

I do this sort of stuff too, but more because I have a fundamental mistrust of closed source anything. I don't like opaque binary firmware blobs, and I certainly don't like opaque answer machines, however smart they may be.

The only LLM I would feel comfortable truly trusting is one whose training data, training code, and harness is all open source. I do not mind paying for the costs of someone hosting this model for me.
