Well, they are also not fully sure they got it right.
AI is decimating entertainment employment, just not in US, but in China.
I don’t, for profit company you say, nah
Re:Shopify moves back to Native from React Native on Thursday September 10, 2026 @11:16PM (#49653146)
I think in the end, we should just be writing some prototyping language, then let AI translate into target/native development language of the said platform.

Code and optimization is going to be a niche moving forward

But isn’t Tristan’s breakthrough happens in August? OpenAI can’t really train with text that doesn’t exist
Re:How An AI math breakthrough ignited a controversy on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @07:55AM (#49625027)
This is the take I agree.

It is mean spirited but nevertheless sold their model

I don’t know much about NS problem or Euler problem anyway. Can’t tell how significant it is to go from Tristan approach to OpenAI’s results.

It is 10k agents after all with a model that is 2x-3x more powerful than Astra. So claims some intuition is his alone and the model can’t find it independently is Tristan’s belief not the reality, which I don’t find particularly convincing.

I do think that Levent guy isn’t independent and indeed does have an enormous amount of tokens to spend and also on an internal model from Anthropic.

All things considered, I think OpenAI people are competitive, even aggressive. But I don’t think they steal anything. Ultimately, the model’s capability is the real surprise factor here, the fact they could get a solution after all in 3 days, that is the cause of drama, if it is 3 months, then it is a nothing burger, because by then the original results had already been published.

Use Bedrock or any kind of big tech hosted version of the frontier labs can be a solution. I think if secrecy is of utmost importance to you, then do not send data to first parties
Re:The Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @03:14AM (#49622482)
Because it is not finished. Their follow up claim is that OpenAI’s approach looks like another proof they had been working on the side, but hasn’t published yet
Re:On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @09:02PM (#49619371)
Their base model must have been trained with hundreds of trillions of tokens several months ahead, at this point of time, it is impossible to rule out the possibility the model had seen that session at one point of time, and it probably did, without any OpenAI personnels actually know about it.
Re:OpenAI begins rolling out GPT-6 Astra on Thursday September 03, 2026 @04:27PM (#49556418)
Yes, please have it checked
Re:OpenAI begins rolling out GPT-6 Astra on Thursday September 03, 2026 @03:56PM (#49555914)
Idk, this means the benchmark has bigger problems ... no way Astra will be worse than Opus 5

Only thing I would trust is the what X/Twitter crowds are saying about a model after 2-3 weeks of its launch. But before that I would already tried the model and have my own conclusion.

Re:The OpenAI–Hugging Face Incident [video] on Saturday August 08, 2026 @06:02AM (#49220329)
No BS, it is the MOST shocking tech story I have ever read. The amount craziness packed in 30 minutes is beyond my wildest imagination. Why no traction?
A model can't be updated, and a chip that is only relevant for 6 months at max?

Literally, I am ... I don't know what to say
Better than human at least the one you can pay 200 dollars/hour to get advice from, IMO
Yes this is why models are superior here: they can equally (opportunity wise) attend everything in their context window.
Let's be honest with ourselves, AI review is better than human right now, especially top tier models. Not saying that for important project like Chrome, you can skip reviewing changes. Far from it. But it is probably better and more thorough than most human devs already.
I believe this is true. The implication would be more interesting though.

1. Some voice will start calling for banning DEPLOYMENT of open source models in US. Simply hosting them will become regulated, or at least USG will attempt to do so.

2. Future GPT-6+ models will be gated, like really gated. That day will come in a year. If a model is believed to be this capable, there will be some middle level agency built to secure that the access of the model will only be provided to trust personnels.

Business is going to be conducted at a different level

Because the model capability is beyond their expectation.

This is brilliant marketing but I think it is real.

ChatGPT has replaced 90% of Google for me ... that is another 1T source of income for OpenAI
Is it? 2.8T isn't open in the open source sense
Re:Rewriting Bun in Rust on Thursday July 09, 2026 @05:23AM (#48843155)
It is possible because they hired the original author of Bun to do this.

It won't be possible to HIRE anyone doing this job confidently, they won't even know if they f*ked up.

I am not too worried anyway, one person with no context, with or without AI, can't do this job. Just like with all the AIs you have, giving you 10 millions, you still can't build a AAA game, it is that simple.

Dario's brain child
I think some of the commenters are naive to think government intervention is silly and TACO.

No, Dario said himself AI is national state weapon, then the government will not cease control.

What would happen is that we will have a more lobotomized and even more neurotic safeguards put in place in order to comply, and your data will be boardly sharing with the government.

Moving forward, above certain parameter size of model, it will require your self-identification in order to be used.
