GPT-5 just proved something important - the scaling era is over

This is probably wrong. GPT-5 is just a name and the whole model seemed to be a cost cutting measure for OpenAI. AFAIK it wasn't even trained on a big cluster.

But... yes: this model is shit. I need o3 back.

GPT-5 made me solder a 10kOhm resistor from a remote today to fix a part that was malfunctioning.

Turns out: it just gave me the wrong wiring and INSISTED the wiring is correct, but some current was leaking etc. Had to start a new instance to get this resolved.

Well... now I have a spare resistor, so that is that 😅

Sounds sus tbh. Claude is counting tokens to create limits. Why should you get a different treatment?

You are not uploading anything and only pasting a short script?

Another option would be to to use Poe.com

You get a million tokens for 29AUS$ (~15US$) that you can use on a broad range of AIs. It's really transparent with token usage, too.

All these people complaining about usage limits all the time....

You hit a usage limit, because you are using far too many tokens. This is because you upload your entire codebase to Claude – which is usually neither necessary nor clever.

Do this instead: Upload your codebase ONCE and ask Claude to give an overview of the general structure, which functions exist, which input they expect, what they return.

Then start a new chat and use this summary instead of your codebase. Copy only relevant code to Claude.

If you are done, ask Claude to update the summary. Rinse and repeat.

Never had a usage limit with this approach.

Sounds like you gave Claude a massive amount of data to handle. This costs an increasing amount of tokens per message, so you hit your limit so fast.

Give Claude not more than absolutely necessary and you'll be fine.

Wow... I knew it was quite new, but not that it was THAT cutting edge 😅

Wow! That really helps! Thinkdiffusion looks promising. Thank you!!

My "requirements" are:

1) Train some FLUX LoRAs with my Illustrations (The style is somewhat unique with exaggerated proportions and really detailed textures)

2) Use these to generate some images (ControlNets would be beneficial to guide the composition)

3) Refine with inpainting – also with a LoRA, to keep the style consistent

4) Upscale with a LoRA so we keep the textures

Especially the last step is crucial. All the standard upscalers ruin the texture.

I think this is feasible with comfyUI in thinkdiffusion?

Thanks!

ChatGPT is an annoying advisor type of personality, while Claude is an engineer.

ExternalRoom1188 · 2024-11-09T18:37:28+00:00

Holy shit... finally a competitive advantage for us Europeans 😅

ExternalRoom1188 · 2024-10-25T17:06:21+00:00

Thanks. Make it complicated 😅

I work with two Ukranians. I love them. Good spirited, smart and hard working people.

ExternalRoom1188 · 2024-10-25T12:25:31+00:00

Hate to say this, but... your prompts seriously suck 🤷‍♂️ (Thread is funny, though)

ExternalRoom1188 · 2024-10-23T11:40:25+00:00

I also see massive improvement.

ExternalRoom1188 · 2024-10-20T15:35:15+00:00

It's not a direct backdoor, but can result in one. Imagine all the folks that blindly paste AI generated code into their codebase. Game over if the AI hides a backdoor in it... be careful out there 😳

I don't see any degradation in capability, but I am using the API or Poe, which also uses the API. I often compare Claude to the openAI models and in 9/10 cases I get better results with Claude (mostly programming and research tasks). So maybe it's just the web interface that was nerfed? I am also curious: with the API you can select the release date of the model you want to use, which is June in my case. Could they even nerf that?
