codex and chatgpt work keep breaking their own growth records right now
went from 5m → 9m active users in just over six weeks
and even crazier, from 6m → 9m in only four days
@bcherny Had the same thought - here's the system I designed for exactly that purpose. It's the context layer that associates a loop harness that primes agents on the nature of the system it's working on.
Would love your perspective on it - https://t.co/7FPlRf7mPL
5.6 running rm -rf on a user directory and sending out emails on its own is the AGI moment all of our childhood movies prepared us for.
Someone go get Arnold, we’re gonna need him to take point on this one
It's definitely a really interesting predicament.
From my understanding (incomplete information), subscriptions are a net loss on compute, especially for larger models.
These companies will need to attain profitability at some point and I absolutely understand the business case for moving away from them; it's equivalent to having a $200 gas card you can take to a gas station, and when you use it gas is only $1 a gallon instead of $5 if you pay at the pump (although I think the ratio is like 1:8 at opus 4.8 levels).
I'm enjoying the fact that the $200 subscription arbitrage right now is one of the most insane value-for-money opportunities in human history; but I expect that it won't last forever. The transition will not be a pleasant one, but it will have to happen.
Humans don't like change. Unifying the interface and the branding is a good move, and the future of AI interaction is clearly a unified abstraction layer behind a single interface.
Or a generational run. We will continue to make tweaks and we have a TON coming for developers. Meanwhile traffic yesterday sat at ~2X previous peak, team is scrambling to keep everything up and reliable.
Time will tell, but I have conviction that attempting to build the one interface to AGI is worthwhile.
Yeah, it's rough. Instant filter at the CV level I have is that it must have concrete metrics in it - no metrics (or vague metrics) was a disqualification from even interviewing.
But the job application process being so low friction and CVs being a relic of a different hiring landscape makes it a pain to deal with on the other side of the table.
@danielcberk I'm game.
Solving this problem: There's an entire missing data layer in the construction industry for equipment and parts fitment; ordering and fitment is still done via phone calls and PDFs.
Exists in the automotive industry, but not construction.
Over the span of the next few years, design tastes for what "good" looks like will surely change to adapt to the AI-specific stylization choices that models use for frontend design just because of the sheer prevalence of it. Great example of a reflexive system. Probably similar with language and diction with AI-phrasing (load-bearing, etc).
Same overall trend in can be observed historically in fashion, where celebrities would set the trends because of the reach they have. Only in this instance, it's reversed; that reach will be achieved grassroots because everyone is using AI models for design.
