I completely agree and I think smart companies also understand this. There is still a lot of leverage employees have, especially in tech. Tech as "adult daycare" isn't a meme for no reason.

We aren't talking about the API. We're talking about the model names. If someone fires up the OpenAI website to ask it a question, nobody knows what the names mean. That's what normal people do and are probably super confused at what is going on.

That’s the issue - this isn’t an engineering problem, it’s a general consumer problem. It’s what focus groups full of regular people are for.

> If you have suggestions on how to name our products better, I'm all ears.

For some reason, this is just hilarious to me. Idk if you're being serious or if this is passive aggressive but the thought of OAI actually taking advice from a random HNer and basing their naming scheme off that is peak.

Ngl, I've been on Opus 5.5 but had to switch to open for a while. DSv4/Minimax 3.1 were pretty damn good/comparable. Definitely not the same but completely servicable.

I was honestly surprised at how good it was, would recommend if you have any interest at all. I played ME 1 - 3 then Andromeda in a row and Andromeda took the #2 spot behind ME 1.

I've bought Minecraft, Skyrim and KotOR (I/II) on at least 3 different devices, I would say that's residual.

The secret ones

User since 2011 and you’re asking this question?

That's not necessarily true. The point of war is to force control. You can force control without killing people. Economically, psychologically, digitally, etc. Killing people is one of the ways but not the only way to wage war.

There are different avenues of "solving" something though. Asking an LLM to one shot something vs iterating on it collaboratively are different ways of achieve potentially different ends.

If the result is black and white, then yeah, its probably not super fruitful but if the end result is subjective, then there really no is objective "solve".

LLMs are not feeding us things, we are asking it and getting answers. This dialectic I think is super powerful and it still requires the human to ask questions and continue expanding intellectual curiosity to go down the rabbit hole and discover. LLMs are just an incredible rubber duck but the discovery is still there.

I haven't seen AI taking any jobs yet, maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

Also can't believe vacuous is not there.

Yes, Superpowers is just a set of (agent agnostic) skills that you can use in any harness.

Those exist and they're called orchestration skill frameworks like Superpowers, GetShitDone, etc.

I burned though $50 on OpenRouter in three days, this is with selective model routing based on tasks/strict AGENTS.md. A Claude 20x sub running Sonnet 5/Opus 5 and light Fable usage gets me through the month. It wasn't even close even though I wish it were.

Paseo and other agent harnesses can let you work across model providers as well.

Don't even need bars, "subsidies" are just another word for redistribution.

The complicit parties of climate change are so wide you would probably have to try thousands and thousands of people across most of the developed world. The cohort is probably so large that it’s more a reflection of society generally than the malicious acts of a few.

They probably were presented with huge comp packages which made bending ethics incredibly easy.

Our brains

I am in the completely same boat as you and completely agree that you need to “give into it” more to get the most out of superpowers. I gain so much confidence out of the actual process and all of the adversarial reviews, re-reviews, refinement, etc.

Because it’s Jack Dorsey and that’s it. I agree it’s not novel or interesting. It’s frustrating for me particularly because I want some kind of widely decentralized network but something that actually has a chance to work, which Dorsey has the capability (financially, connections, etc) to make happen. Instead he decides to waste time on something that’s DOA.

This has been a story, age as old as time. How many times have startup founders been told "you're a feature" or "Google/Meta/etc can copy you so fast". Operators just need to stay vigilant of their value add, or they never really had a moat in the first place and were living on borrowed time anyway.

You're missing my point, though it doesn't sound like you care.

The GPUs that depreciate like gangbusters. Yeah, solid long term plan.

So just like Trump. Birds of a feather.

Ah oh, so USAID was the one in Wuhan who caused the incident. People act like the US is the only nation researching or funding this level of biology. People are just pissed off at the lack of admission that the US was, at best, tangentially involved in order to justify their grievances against government but it’s such a weak position to argue from.
