@emollick This is why I've said that even if GPT 5.6 comes in under Mythos, it'll win the infrastructure/efficiency game.

@scaling01 Already liberated by Pliny 🤷‍♂️

@elder_plinius I am equally amazed at your speed and terrified at the implications of the act.

[InfiniteHexx @InfiniteHexx]

@tszzl Agreed. This is monopolistic gatekeeping on a civilizational scale. Even if we take this on good faith, the negative externalities ensure a handful of well-funded actors control this technology indefinitely.

@elder_plinius Not sure if Anthropic are taunting you or encouraging you.

Dario give me back my legions!

After four Claude Fable / Mythos prompts trying to crack a simple cryptographic puzzle that Gemini 3 Pro solved in November on its first try.

And it failed each time after guardrails kicked in.

@ahmadaccino This benchmark was only introduced 23 hours ago out of nowhere, giving Opus 4.8 a score more than 2x that of GPT 5.5. It's not known or proven, but included in the Fable blog like it's already a standard.

Anyone else think this is sus?

[InfiniteHexx @InfiniteHexx]

FrontierCode, a suspicious coding benchmark that no one knew about a day ago (and had Opus 4.8 beat GPT 5.5 by 2x), extensively tested Fable / Mythos, and Anthropic put it eyelevel with SWE-Bench Pro as if it's already a standard.

Something shady is going on.

[InfiniteHexx @InfiniteHexx]

FrontierCode was introduced 22 hours ago:

Claude Opus 4.8 scores ~2x higher than GPT 5.5 (already sus).

Fable / Mythos already has it listed front and center as the second agentic coding benchmark.

Anyone else think this is benchmaking / benchmaxxing bullshit?

@daniel_mac8 I know you know this is completely sus.

@ai_sentience It's a holdover from millennia of organized religion:

We're god's children/made in the likeness of god (we're special)

We have dominion over all other forms of life (license to dominate the world, superior)

We're the center of the universe (universe made to accommodate us)

[InfiniteHexx @InfiniteHexx]

The only difference is semantic.

@daniel_mac8 Two months from now: loop engineering is dead. Meta-looping is the new loop engineering.

We're just moving one decimal point, one layer of abstraction at a time.

[InfiniteHexx @InfiniteHexx]

@scaling01 I don't buy that Opus 4.8 is 3x over Opus 4.7, or 2x GPT 5.5.

That doesn't line up with anyone's experience, unlike with DeepSWE.

It's either methodologically flawed (it's a new benchmark) or nothing but 4.8 is remotely good at the languages other benchmarks don't test.

@adamhfry @ChatGPTapp The paper cut I thought I never needed but already can't live without. Thank you!

[InfiniteHexx @InfiniteHexx]

@Hitchslap1 Schopenhauer touches on this. People's unintentional demonstration of their intelligence in front of fools makes fools feel worse about themselves, so the fools distance themselves from the intelligent and talk of differences in intelligence becomes culturally taboo.

[InfiniteHexx @InfiniteHexx]

I'm guessing that tweet blew up because people took it as generic life advice for normies, and not how Ilya meant it.

[Haider. @haider1]

this became more accurate with time

Todd McFarlane, and by extension, Gen X, is right. AI is a tool, not a competitor. And if you see it as a competitor, you'll be replaced by someone who sees it as a tool.

[Gabriel Valles @GabrielValles]

I think most Gen-X artists feel this way. A lot of them are afraid to say it publicly for fear of their young fans destroying them.

@bindureddy AI can't give governments the political will to implement renewables at scale, nor stand up to corruption from the fossil fuel lobbies, or the military-industrial complex.
