@shrav_10 Synomizing with an employee. Rag is experience. Fine tuning is onboarding.

The strongest models are gated and access is granted only to a select few.

Hermes Agent now exposes MoA presets as virtual models, giving you capabilities beyond the publicly available frontier: 8% higher than Opus 4.8 and 11% higher than GPT 5.5 on our upcoming benchmark.

We recently obtained the highest-resolution 3D images of the human brain ever taken from outside the skull. This is the first look.

@ashwingop So many words. So many silly assumptions.

Its actually an insult to how little you value human autonomy and utility within a workplace.

These things are not mutually exclusive and the "scar tissue" is much more dynamic and noisy than you what claim an llm can take credit for

Hai shame. At least Tyla made us proud tonight. South African national anthem was fire 🔥, the football was not.

every job will turn into explaining your intentions to ai

explaining what you want to ai is surpringly time consuming, coders already spend 80% of their time doing it, and this will be true for everyone

Ain't that the truth

[GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg]

I didn't cover Claude Opus 4.8 on my pod because I don't think it's MEANINGFULLY better than GPT 5.5 as of May 29th.

We're entering the era where model releases start to feel like iPhone releases. Remember when every new iPhone was a genuine leap? Now it's a slightly better camera and you can't really tell the difference. That's where models are heading. 4.6 to 4.7 to 4.8. Each one is a little different. Nobody can agree if it's better or worse. The benchmarks say one thing, the vibes say another.

The thing that actually matters right now is what's happening around the models. Claude Code shipped dynamic workflows this same week and that genuinely changes what one person can build.

Codex shipped a desktop app with an in app browser that combines coding and knowledge work in one surface. Those are the releases that move the needle for people. The model underneath is becoming interchangeable.

I think we're maybe 6 months from nobody caring which model they're using the way nobody cares which engine is in their Uber. You just want to get where you're going.

When something genuinely changes the game for builders, I'll cover it on @startupideaspod. Opus 4.8 wasn't that. Dynamic workflows was.

I'd rather save you the hour.

Cue Elon Musk villain arc....

[Watcher.Guru @WatcherGuru]

A federal jury unanimously dismissed Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, ruling Musk waited too long to file the case.

The lawsuit accused Altman, Greg Brockman, OpenAI, and Microsoft of profiting from OpenAI's shift away from its original nonprofit mission. Jurors reached a decision in under two hours after a three-week trial, with Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers adopting the verdict.

Musk sued in 2024 over OpenAI's for-profit transition, despite internal discussions about restructuring dating back to 2017. His legal team said it is preserving the right to appeal.

The ruling keeps OpenAI's current structure intact as the ChatGPT maker continues its rapid growth following a recent funding round that valued the company at $852 billion.

You could have paid me to tank this movie and I wouldn’t have thought of this.

The economic model is just a mirage to keep people believing in asymmetrical power between humans
