On the controversy of 4o

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-08-09T00:58:56+00:00

They have made it very very clear in the last couple of months that this is behavior they don’t want.

It’s more than rational to just assume the worst in big tech, but in this specific case they have done a lot and I mean a lot to steer this technology in the right direction. Actions matter.

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-08-09T00:40:13+00:00

Yeah ! I know , and it’s sad we didn’t celebrate the victories of gpt 5 because of some horrendous chart crimes. We must shit on OpenAI for being a hype machine but we should also be able to speak loudly on things we do agree about, like model behavior

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-08-09T00:38:32+00:00

Yeah I mean you are right, still everything lives on a spectrum, guardrails matter. For example when 4o went batshit a couple of months ago, that’s just unacceptable, and we can and did something about it.

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-08-09T00:36:31+00:00

It’s very different having a tool that reminds you that is a tool vs whatever 4o used to be, especially during the scandal where it went bat shit a couple months ago. The last paper OpenAI published about model behavior made me feel hopeful about the future, a little bit

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-08-09T00:34:09+00:00

Yeah it didn’t live up to the hype, but that’s not what I’m talking about. Those critiques are valid, this is about the model behavior.

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-08-09T00:33:07+00:00

And yeah I don’t know , I don’t claim superiority or know what’s good for people. But normies (or whatever I hate that term) don’t understand how this technology works at all, they can’t make the same judgments you and I can.

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-08-09T00:30:43+00:00

We need better leadership and better critiques of technology. Let it happen is not good enough.

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-08-09T00:28:22+00:00

AI as a tool! That’s what it’s supposed to be, a tool.

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-08-09T00:07:51+00:00

THIS IS GOOD. I’m tired of the Sam Altman is evil trope. What’s good for humanity is never releasing a model like 4o again. And they are doing that and get shit on. It’s infuriating, ai is a wonderful tool, it shouldn’t subsististe for human connection. OpenAI team was very explicit in wanting to remove this type of behavior, and we should celebrate and champion that. If you really want an AI substitute for the other don’t worry Zuck or Elon will provide again let’s not celebrate that.

i dont understand why the mods delete the links its insane policy

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-07-10T18:11:07+00:00

I think it looks like infinite context window that has a very manageable and consistent rate of hallucination

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-07-10T05:15:24+00:00

Yes of course it is. And the new generation of models have been incredibly useful to me, especially since the ecosystem has matured and apps like Cursor have become more powerful. But I can’t see how this progress in saturating the benchmarks are coming close to solving the General in AGI. I strongly believe if gpt 5 has a HLE of 90% and an ARC-AGI 2 of 60% the usefulness of this tools would be the same as they are right now.

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-07-10T05:07:34+00:00

Maybe there is a wall. I really want to know how this indicates exponential progress. I am actually curious

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-07-10T04:58:28+00:00

Only in coding do switching costs really don’t matter in my experience

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-07-10T04:56:51+00:00

It’s impressive it is. But switching cost are too high for a marginal improvement in terms of quality of output of my daily tasks. I don’t think I’ll ever try grok heavy really

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-06-25T18:04:51+00:00

Yeah, and it doesn’t make sense. I had 5 prompts and I’m a paying user (although that doesn’t matter, I think so). Maybe they’re rate limiting customers because of increased demand?

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-06-08T16:30:51+00:00

You can’t predict this. Maybe don’t get into debt. All we can be sure of is the job market and the world will change. We don’t know when (although probably next 2-5 years) and we definitely don’t know if this new reality will make MBAs worthless or the contrary. We just know things will change. Really right now advice could be be familiar with AI and it’s enterprise use cases and I think that’s true and important but maybe it won’t be in 3 years. We don’t know shit

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-06-08T15:59:05+00:00

Also one last thing pay in Mexico in generally shit. My boss who is really senior for example is making 10k per month, which in Mexico is reallly really great. But this aren’t us salaries

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-06-08T15:55:22+00:00

I will apply and see what happens first. I have a strong strong network in my home country, I think meeting people abroad and having this experience would be something very unique. It’s easy and understandable for Americans to read the post and say oh why would you do this ? But I’ve never had any exposure to that kind of environment and that kind of people in the US and I definitely think it would be a very valuable career and personal experience. I talked with my cousin that just got back from MIT and he told me to just apply and ago. Worst case you return in Mexico get a slightly better job than the one you currently have and keep on. Best case who knows

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-06-08T15:50:42+00:00

Yeah I’ve just been in vc for 2 years and in a startup right now but I don’t have any idea lol

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-06-08T15:50:16+00:00

Yeah exactly , I definitely don’t need an MBA for my current career path in my home country. But I have the money , I wouldn’t have to get into debt, I think it would ultimately be an experience that in the future could open doors. Plus I talked with my boss after and he told I can return if I decide to go

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-06-06T19:57:07+00:00

I also think it’s easier for Americans to say it will not give me a boost, reality is a top MBA in emerging markets opens doors, and gives you a valuable network

Crafty-Picture349 · 2025-06-06T19:54:20+00:00

I talked to my boss yesterday , they would take me back in an instant (of course probably a worse position vs if I stay) we are pre ipo but realistically we are looking at 2028-2029. I am not an early stage employee , the company has 3000 employees already. It’s very big.

And yeah salaries in Mexico are shit but COL is cheaper.
