In my experience, it's more likely a whole team of supposedly brilliant engineers were paid good money to work on this feature. Sad as that is.

The Last of Us season 2 was fine. They didn't follow the chronology and structure from the second game and it suffered because of it. People who didn't play the games probably didn't notice this.

It wasn't anywhere near the (low) quality of Halo season 1. Did they continue to show Master Chief's face in season 2? Because that alone ruined it for me. And they didn't even get his appearance right!

Yeah I think we're mostly in agreement. Consoles will continue to dominate for the foreseeable future.

That was probably one of the worst video game adaptations I've ever seen. Especially in comparison to recent additions like The Last of Us and Fallout. No disrespect.

> Step outside an echo chamber and you'll see that in most countries, including East Asia and the Middle East, if you take a walk around any big mall, you don't see kids pestering their parents to buy them a PC.

This is still the case in the U.S. for the most part. The point is moreso that barrier to entry is lowering. The SteamDeck is a PC/console and a good example of a possible trend in that direction.

> Is Terence Tao just another AI booster nowadays

The information in the article suggests that he regrets his prior hyping of AI.

> hey currently monitor it to prevent users from using their models in certain ways they consider unsafe or bad for their business

Can't they just monitor the text outputs as well?

Getting a 403 in the US.

> I also like how feedback is collected. It prompts to press 1, 2, or 3 to rate how well Claude is doing...

I commonly respond to Claude with a numbered list of critiques. The number of times I have accidentally rated something when I would have rather push "0" for "go away" is infuriating.

> at least on a wired connection

There goes 95% of your market. If not more.

Threads is shit.

Put them in a .env file and tell it to never look there but what the env vars are named. Problem solved.

Oh come on. Sure, it might not be a production-capable system. But comparing an Astra 6/Sol 6.1 powered sites to wordpress and wix is apples and oranges.

That's clever and all - solid setup, good work. But I still think you either overestimate the average house guest or have particularly savvy/young house guests.

No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 are actually proof you can have an awful launch and still pivot into a large player base and continued sales via updates.

Reception for both games is largely positive despite their poor initial response.

> that distinct off-white shading

Let's see Paul Allen's card.

Is it expected to be available to subscribers?

> You have good enough hardware to run good models comparable with Gemini and ChatGPT.

That is at best misleading and at worst outright misinformation.

Your emphasis here seems to downplay the end-result of the attack - which is arbitrary code execution from a seemingly innocent URL merely being read by the LLM. The ACE is pulled off without the user knowing, and seemingly without agent or its auto-mode classifier knowing. There are at the very least _elements_ of prompt injection/jailbreaking in here. The LLM reads content and performs actions described failing to stop itself.

Queue the hoards of Python haters apparently.

This website is the worst.

> They're all in Tokyo ;)

Yeah and effectively any store outside urban America.

I don't think GPT-4 was ever used for beating pokemon with or without a harness. Successful attempts include Gemini 2.5 and Opus 4.7 both using relatively advanced custom harnesses that give access to game memory, notes systems, and one-off hacks to get around parts of the game the model gets stuck on. More recently, Fable 5 beat FireRed with a _very_ minimal harness (screenshots and button inputs). That's the only example I know of but that is a very sophisticated and very expensive model compared to GPT-4.

Most of this doesn't discredit your overall point, though.

I'd expect this to cycle between companies ~monthly until they all IPO. As it turns out people do sometimes prefer speed and better UX. If the model (Sol, for now) has fewer parameters and also happens to be capable of solving deeply complex Fable-adjacent problems sometimes, even better.

I take this back. Apparently the codex conversations are indeed stored in jsonl files in the users .codex directory.

Isn't this a _good_ thing??

You can have Codex access Claude’s conversations trivially. The other way around not so much as OpenAI locks everything server side.

Over my dead body.

> Not flaming the artist at all, these are lovely works

With respect, you totally are. Call it what it is - your honest criticism/opinion. Calling their work “middle of the road” and then saying they can’t get certain jobs then trying to pretend you’re being nice is just dishonest.

Article was plenty interesting to me.
