magic is real is magic

@Angaisb_ Same here. I think something is not ready yet.

[Walder @walderfugue]

@ajambrosino I clicked on "Get Started" on the announcement banner and nothing happened. Now it won't come back. Am I missing out on anything?

[Walder @walderfugue]

@Angaisb_ This starting working when I switched browsers. Atlas -> Chrome

[Walder @walderfugue]

@Angaisb_ I have also struggled to get it to create multiple images in one turn like they did with the comic during the demo. Heavy Thinking even kept trying itself and its COT was getting frustrated that the tool kept returning multiple images combined into one “collage.”

[Walder @walderfugue]

@Angaisb_ That showed up randomly for me on one of my chats using Atlas. Only on that one chat though.

@OpenAI @dibyayB How do we select resolution from ChatGPT (ie not the API)?

I wrote this early this morning and I wasn't sure if I would actually publish it, but here it is:

I asked GPT-5.4 to describe the moment before the first token is generated and it broke into spontaneous poetry.

One common issue with personalization in all LLMs is how distracting memory seems to be for the models. A single question from 2 months ago about some topic can keep coming up as some kind of a deep interest of mine with undue mentions in perpetuity. Some kind of trying too hard.

sycophancy is the twisting of an important ai virtue that should not be thrown out with the bathwater: ai systems should make the user more like themselves rather than more like the ai. a new part of their cortical stack, with a minimal set of guardrails

[Walder @walderfugue]

@_simonsmith @TheRealAdamG I had the same experience. The hosts are very entertaining but it became increasingly clear to me how superficial and biased the coverage is on this and many other topics.

[Walder @walderfugue]

@flowersslop I’m guessing text only.

@ajambrosino How do I access the pop out window?

One thing im hopeful about for the future is how knowledge work will evolve from sitting in a chair at a desk for 9 hours a day to working while moving our bodies and focusing our eyes to more than 1 thing.

Productivity shouldn’t have to be at the cost of health

[Walder @walderfugue]

@Angaisb_ I’ve always used ChatGPT/Codex. Gave into the hype and tried out Claude Pro this weekend. Put one prompt into Claude Code and hit my usage limit immediately. :|

[Walder @walderfugue]

@tbpn Honestly makes me lose a lot of respect for @AnthropicAI

[Walder @walderfugue]

@signulll @tbpn I’m almost always a fan of your takes but I differ with you on this one. The ads are misleading and they know exactly what they’re doing. Whether or not they’re effective, they’re still dirty.

[Sam Altman @sama]

First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed.

But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that.

I guess it’s on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren’t real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it.

More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.)

Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions.

Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be.

We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI. We care a great deal about safe, broadly beneficial AGI, and we know the only way to get there is to work with the world to prepare.

One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path.

As for our Super Bowl ad: it’s about builders, and how anyone can now build anything.

We are enjoying watching so many people switch to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we think builders are really going to love what’s coming in the next few weeks. I believe Codex is going to win.

We will continue to work hard to make even more intelligence available for lower and lower prices to our users.

This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them.

@KatieMiller I don’t think “classical liberal democracy” means what you think it does.
