@JJ_StuJordan Opus 4.8 incoming

[Shaun Richardson @TheShaunR_]

@trq212 @Hesamation But still you can’t commit to only “we don’t degrade our models”

You are effectively accusing all of us of lying about the degradation we all see and feel. Clear as day.

Some real transparency will go a lot further than this gaslighting nonsense.

[Shaun Richardson @TheShaunR_]

@JJ_StuJordan Must say it feels rather like the wool has been pulled over our eyes and almost disingenuous from Anthropic.

Beast of model, 1500% increase in users, subs obtained, then downgrade to something far inferior.

As a MAX subscriber I’m not feeling the monthly fee is worth it anymore

[Shaun Richardson @TheShaunR_]

@JJ_StuJordan Totally lost its mojo. Performance degraded so much it feels marginally better than Sonnet 4.6

[Shaun Richardson @TheShaunR_]

@JJ_StuJordan Almost certainly they’d rather lose credibility than admit an issue and have to reimburse us all for what was essentially many wasted tokens.

@AndyGoode10 @mark_keohane Wow England fans are fickle. November series “We will beat anyone, South Africa are scared of us and Borthwick is the best coach we’ve ever had!”

Today “Borthwick must go”

@JJ_StuJordan It was a “throw myself in the deep end” scenario.

PS - The MacBook lay in its box for 2 weeks because I was too scared to migrate!

Introducing Project Genie: An experimental research prototype powered by Genie 3, our world model, that lets you prompt an interactive world into existence — and then step inside 🌎

[Google Gemini @GeminiApp]

We partnered with @ICC to show how Gemini 3 Pro can analyze video content.

By uploading a segment of the Cricket World Cup, Gemini can seamlessly process visual and audio data to identify key players, explain techniques, and highlight crucial turning points. 🏏

No model is perfect at instruction following. Despite refined prompting, even the best models can get confused at times.

At Antigravity, I developed "ephemeral messages" to augment the instruction following ability of models, letting us push the frontier of agentic capabilities.

[Shaun Richardson @TheShaunR_]

@JJ_StuJordan Absolutely yes! We should be driving education with digital as most kids use this tech every single day, and heck do they l learn fast!

[Shaun Richardson @TheShaunR_]

@JJ_StuJordan Absolutely possible! No matter beliefs, religions, etc. most of them depict creators, beings or gods from above. This is a recurring theme and just has to mean something, no?

I believe “all of this” was created by something. It’s just too intricate to be an accident.

Here's a runtime contract you can append to your @ManusAI agent chat - this prevents context drift and is particularly useful for keeping Manus on point with complex tasks:

//Runtime Contract:

1. Stable prefix – freeze Context, Objective, Mode after approval.
2. No volatility – exclude timestamps/random IDs from the prefix.
3. Goal recitation – maintain an up-to-date https://t.co/gz6DzqrfWc with the Objective.
4. External memory – put large/binary artifacts in /workspace/assets and reference paths.
5. Error log stays – append, never delete, all failures & observations in Progress.
6. Mask, don’t remove – logits-mask disallowed tools; do not edit the manifest.
7. Prompt diversity – vary few-shot phrasing to avoid ruts.

@ChalynRugby I love Marx, brilliant player. He stared very slowly and his form was way off. If the POTY was assessed on form through the year Marx shouldn’t have got it. Prob should have gone to LBB but Ox for me was head and shoulders above anyone else in that group, even if Ardie was there.

[Shaun Richardson @TheShaunR_]

@JJ_StuJordan I love this ideology and although it’s new to me I can see the benefits of such.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the intricacies of it all - mind blowing stuff for me at least.

You’re definitely not crazy but certainly are ahead of your time 💪🏻

[Shaun Richardson @TheShaunR_]

@Oom_Rugby Great insights Oom. Thanks for sharing. Bulls seem to have a lot of problems right now. Such a pity because they have a great squad.

@GeoTheHermit @juliaavery @CBSNews Thanks for pointing my level of intelligence. Good to know.

I live in Spain and absolutely nowhere in the legislation does it require a visitor to provide 5 years of social media content and / or emails as part of any visiting visa application.

Best to check your “facts”
