Coding flattened out like 9 months ago. In reality, people are getting dumber and lazier from over using them, so they feel like they're improving when they aren't really, outside some areas like RE.

In reality RE has only gotten better because they RLd it into the models because the NEED data, so now every kid is decomping proprietary softwate and sending them back great training data.

It absolutely has not. You do have a nice point with data though, somehow haven't thought about that

Opus 5.5 begs to differ

Even on benchmarks it hasnt gone up that much. Ya'll are extermely one shot by marketing and twitter posts of one page demos.

Not everything runs in a browser, it still creates fires in codebases and generally produces spaghetti code. It gets the job done for 50th percentile problems for sure.

Turns out not everything is a 50th percentile problem.

You know most of us are using these models day-to-day, right? Opus 5.5 is leagues better than Opus 5. Hell, it's better than Fable 5.1.

I have to imagine you don't if you can say this with a straight face...
