heads up: it's expensive and not actually good, but don't worry it's got a magic indescribable something that makes it different! more money please

[Sam Altman @sama]

GPT-4.5 is ready!

good news: it is the first model that feels like talking to a thoughtful person to me. i have had several moments where i've sat back in my chair and been astonished at getting actually good advice from an AI.

bad news: it is a giant, expensive model. we really wanted to launch it to plus and pro at the same time, but we've been growing a lot and are out of GPUs. we will add tens of thousands of GPUs next week and roll it out to the plus tier then. (hundreds of thousands coming soon, and i'm pretty sure y'all will use every one we can rack up.)

this isn't how we want to operate, but it's hard to perfectly predict growth surges that lead to GPU shortages.

a heads up: this isn’t a reasoning model and won’t crush benchmarks. it’s a different kind of intelligence and there’s a magic to it i haven’t felt before. really excited for people to try it!

and if I said that's what YC's been doing since day 1...

[Archie Sengupta @archiexzzz]

YC funding kids with rich backgrounds who did not do a single day of work and who are still in college, on their slave-driving tool like this was not on my 2025 list.

crazy that to legally use adobe software nowadays you have to install what is essentially malware (adobe creative cloud)

we need a moratorium on the "product manager" position

if you're asked for a bill splitting app and you think one that splits by flat percentage is useful or acceptable, you simply don't have the juice sorry

its not a paper and the author isn’t an engineer

god everyone’s getting so dumb

[Zach Vorhies / Google Whistleblower @Perpetualmaniac]

My god, this paper by that open ai engineer is terrifying.

Everything is about to change.

AI super intelligence by 2027.

@memogetter the linkedinoid reply guys being like "wow we need a bookshelf tour" !!

when SF sends its people they're not sending their best

[Gautham 🌶 @GuamHat]

we need to start bookshelf-shaming more, this is unconscionable and people with this taste shouldnt be posting theirs so confidently
