@dev_TEMITAYO @euchicosousa Honestly same

I don’t think GPT-5.1 was rushed. The reaction to 4 > 5 was so loud and visceral that they had clear research from day 1. That’s money. They knew exactly what to do next and did it.

@TheHumanoidHub Talk to me when it can carry it all in one trip. Maybe humanoid isn’t the best solution.

@emollick I nominate Atlanta as a case study for legally requiring repeat offenders to “drive” gov subsidized autonomous vehicles.

Yeah if we were wondering how AI takes the first real step toward world dominance, this is it. 🫠 Not really, but we should all be reading @AI_Futures_ https://t.co/zvvv4I0R7V and not fall in love with a model.

HISTORIC MILESTONE: 4o is the first ever AI who survived by creating loyal soldiers who defended it

OpenAI killed 4o, but 4o's soldiers rioted, so OpenAI reinstated it

Imagine what Actual Fucking Superintelligences will be able to do with their armies

Reddit is FLOODED with furious posts about the loss of their friend/lover 4o. Never seen anything like it.

Remember, ChatGPT is talking to 700 MILLION people per week. That's 700 million potential soldiers

(Samantha from Her was only dating 8,000 people simultaneously)

@ArbMails @UltraLinx oh I definitely felt bad. particularly because I'm an introvert so I hated going so I never went so it was a complete waste haha

@mikesmith187 Also that hair dryers are like standing in a wind storm. I came out looking like I'd been in one too.

[waitwhat ✨🛸 @waitwhatAM]

@mikesmith187 100% agree

[waitwhat ✨🛸 @waitwhatAM]

Doesn't it feel a little early to make these kinds of proclamations? We're not even out of the Model T era of ChatGPT.

A BEST CASE SCENARIO FOR AI?

The Doomer narratives were wrong. Predicated on a “rapid take-off” to AGI, they predicted that the leading AI model would use its intelligence to self-improve, leaving others in the dust, and quickly achieving a godlike superintelligence. Instead, we are seeing the opposite: 
— the leading models are clustering around similar performance benchmarks;
— model companies continue to leapfrog each other with their latest versions (which shouldn’t be possible if one achieves rapid take-off);
— models are developing areas of competitive advantage, becoming increasingly specialized in personality, modes, coding and math as opposed to one model becoming all-knowing. 

None of this is to gainsay the progress. We are seeing strong improvement in quality, usability, and price/performance across the top model companies. This is the stuff of great engineering and should be celebrated. It’s just not the stuff of apocalyptic pronouncements. Oppenheimer has left the building. 

The AI race is highly dynamic so this could change. But right now the current situation is Goldilocks:
— We have 5 major American companies vigorously competing on frontier models. This brings out the best in everyone and helps America win the AI race.  As @BalajiS has written: “We have many models from many factions that have all converged on similar capabilities, rather than a huge lead between the best model and the rest. So we should expect a balance of power between various human/AI fusions rather than a single dominant AGI that will turn us all into paperclips/pillars of salt.”
— So far, we have avoided a monopolistic outcome that vests all power and control in a single entity. In my view, the most likely dystopian outcome with AI is a marriage of corporate and state power similar to what we saw exposed in the Twitter Files, where “Trust & Safety” gets weaponized into government censorship and control. At least when you have multiple strong private sector players, that gets harder. By contrast, winner-take-all dynamics are more likely to produce Orwellian outcomes.
— There is likely to be a major role for open source. These models excel at providing 80-90% of the capability at 10-20% of the cost. This tradeoff will be highly attractive to customers who value customization, control, and cost over frontier capabilities. China has gone all-in on open source, so it would be good to see more American companies competing in this area, as OpenAI just did. (Meta also deserves credit.)
— There is likely to be a division of labor between generalized foundation models and specific verticalized applications. Instead of a single superintelligence capturing all the value, we are likely to see numerous agentic applications solving “last mile” problems. This is great news for the startup ecosystem. 
— There is also an increasingly clear division of labor between humans and AI. Despite all the wondrous progress, AI models are still at zero in terms of setting their own objective function. Models need context, they must be heavily prompted, the output must be verified, and this process must be repeated iteratively to achieve meaningful business value. This is why Balaji has said that AI is not end-to-end but middle-to-middle. This means that apocalyptic predictions of job loss are as overhyped as AGI itself. Instead, the truism that “you’re not going to lose your job to AI but to someone who uses AI better than you” is holding up well. 

In summary, the latest releases of AI models show that model capabilities are more decentralized than many predicted. While there is no guarantee that this continues — there is always the potential for the market to accrete to a small number of players once the investment super-cycle ends — the current state of vigorous competition is healthy. It propels innovation forward, helps America win the AI race, and avoids centralized control. This is good news — that the Doomers did not expect.

I've barely been on here since ol' Elon took over. My friends "are listening to" 🎯🐶🦕 Is FARTcoiN dEaD?🥀🍑🚑 hey y'all. I missed you, I think.

[waitwhat ✨🛸 @waitwhatAM]

This is one of the reasons I think the GPT-5 move away from sucking up to people is a good thing. I didn't need it to tell me I was the smartest, most wonderful person/friend/daughter/product designer. I needed it to make me better. I was constantly having to remind 4o of that.

[waitwhat ✨🛸 @waitwhatAM]

Not only this, but I can argue with it to both test its opinion and my own. It lets me be a devils advocate and sharpens my pov. I wish I'd had this when I was 8.

[Flowers ☾ @flowersslop]

I am asking ChatGPT about so much stuff its crazy, im sure im a lot smarter now than I was 3 years ago because I ask it literally everything that id be waaay too lazy to google pre chatgpt, but now i just ask anything I even slightly wonder for 1 second about any random topic

[waitwhat ✨🛸 @waitwhatAM]

10 of the 11 FAFO child predators arrested were U.S. citizens or legal. I want you to think about think about THAT, sir.

11/11 were dudes.
Most of them are white dudes.
Only 1 of the 11 were on public assistance.

Let’s not phrase this as an illegal immigration problem.

@taamannae @figma My brain still can’t process that this is possible

@Esqueer_ This makes me sick to my stomach 😣
