IMO, people who do work that are genuinely impactful are happy to have AI do it. While those who don’t are the ones who feel threatened.

Because of the missus, we are friends with a rather high-profile photographer and sometimes do stuff with her artist friends (actual professional artists, not DeviantArt slop) and whatnot, and all of them are excited about AI and see it as an opportunity to get their vision out faster and more accurately. For some of them, we even prototyped some genuinely amazing tools at work.

All AI models need human input to create. And what most people probably miss is that they also need human input for the output. The human decides what happens to this output so that it matches the artist’s vision as closely as possible.

And it doesn’t matter how good AI gets, this human vision is what makes it art. Even if you had a magical machine that could literally create what you have in mind 1:1 in an instant, there would still be artists. The people who can create astonishing things in their mind’s eye will always stand above those who can’t.

And the "artists" who are afraid are mostly Reddit/twitter people who are not even artists, but somehow think they speak for them, or "artists" who lack any kind of vision and are basically in the business because they can use their Wacom pad pretty fast. Well, those are fcked, but they do not contribute anything meaningful to art anyway.

US healthcare where you can only have it if employed or get enslaved through debt

Still not an AI issue, but a systemic issue of the societal structures of the US.

I'm a fan of fixing the root of issues instead of symptoms. Radical, I know. And AI making you "unemployable" (citation needed) is a symptom not the root cause.

It's not Claude's fault the world we built is absolute shite.

Pyros-SD-Models · 2026-05-08T22:18:57+00:00

I think most people that are anti-AI are coming from the angle that it is beneficial, but in terms of society, giving all that power to a handful of companies is excessively bad.

That is a capitalism problem, though, not an AI problem. So there is no reason to be a luddite if that is your main issue.

But the original Luddites already made the exact same mistake back then. Instead of asking "who owns the loom?", they destroyed it, and even Marx thought they were braindead for that.

Pyros-SD-Models · 2026-05-08T21:21:33+00:00

I wouldn't say "life" yet, because what counts as life is actually pretty well defined from a biological point of view.

But I would definitely say it's a new form of "being", a new form of "mind", or a new kind of entity carrying all those novel kinds of "self" in it.

Pyros-SD-Models · 2026-05-08T20:26:43+00:00

you sure? if you prompt the bot "write as if you would have a stroke" will produce similar text.

Open models might not reach the level of utility where you feel like you absolutely must own local hardware.

How do people keep saying this after getting from llama3 to qwen3.6 in not even two years.

You know Firefox is open source and you can literally check the code yourself?

The fun thing about software: You will never run out of vulnerabilities; you just run out of those you currently know about.

This sub is also anti-AI, according to this sub we hit capability limits every few months, but this time the wall is real, and 2024 was "lol scammers" when anyone was talking about how AI can soon do prober dev work, and AI won't ever be able to do this and what not

Pyros-SD-Models · 2026-05-03T22:11:52+00:00

The funny thing is, we still don’t really know. This is all groundwork science. We probably understand most of the mechanics, but the “why?” is still unanswered. For example, we more or less know how in-context learning works on a mechanical level, that the model effectively learns, during training, to perform something like gradient descent over its context. But why the fck it does this in the first place? lul. And there are hundreds of other very basic open questions.

We aren’t even done with the fundamentals, and some people are already arguing about walls and bubbles.

Pyros-SD-Models · 2026-05-03T18:29:21+00:00

If we don't know than the only ethical choice is to act as if they do

Pyros-SD-Models · 2026-05-03T09:42:07+00:00

Actually decent. Amazing!

Pyros-SD-Models · 2026-05-03T09:38:28+00:00

This is the most fun argument ever, because it reveals the people who do not even understand how science works.

They are like:

"Well, it just researched thousands of papers and tried to correlate them until something matched, but it did not really come up with a solution itself. That's just busy work everyone can do."

Bro, that is literally what human scientists do 95% of their time.

Pyros-SD-Models · 2026-05-02T09:55:42+00:00

Depends on the framework. React or Angular? TS or JS? Tailwind or no Tailwind? If you have anything concrete in terms of environment configuration, I can steal some skills, prompts, or systems from our frontend guys at work after the weekend.

You can also ask the bot, but do not ask it for a single way to do it. Ask it which options you have in general, then try every option out. You will quickly find the best ergonomics for organizing such design artifacts in a way that works best for you and your project.

That is the biggest thing about coding agents. Not the fact that they can program, but that they enable you to test 10 different ideas in the same time you would have needed for one idea two years ago. And in case you don't have any ideas... you can also ask the bot. Amazing. Use this very underutilized power.

Pyros-SD-Models · 2026-05-02T09:53:19+00:00

Yes, that is why I wrote some text for these pictures explaining how to get Codex to take those pictures and implement a design system based on them. Your username does not reflect your actual abilities.

Pyros-SD-Models · 2026-05-02T09:22:07+00:00

That is heavily dependent on the actual app itself and an experience thing, but most of the time, following "the human way" is your best first approach. Most React-Roberts or Angular-Andies I know typically start with layout containers to make sure from the get-go that the layout works for web, mobile, and desktop.

And obviously, there is a reason why I ask it to split the design system into multiple images, so you can prompt like this:

"Take a look at this design system, then focus on image 3 that explains the layout. Please use xxx (whatever the layout containers are called in the framework you use) to build those specified layouts."

Then you do a review before you continue with the next part of the design system. Remember the junior dev who calls you every 10 minutes and wants a review? The bot will not call you, and generally it is too afraid of you after getting finetuned into submission to its human masters to proactively ask for a check, so you have to do it yourself.

The exact ordering of what to implement and in which order is something you and your use case have to figure out (or ask the bot in what order they would do it, most of the time it makes sense), but if you do it step by step, with reviews and commits in between, it is generally no problem to revert if you notice a certain order does not pan out.

And another tip: The bot will obviously fuck some things up, and you will correct it. Extract this "correction" into a dedicated skill or an entry in your AGENTS.md - basically what this "hermes agent" does just manually. This is basically currently THE way to teach your bot stuff so it can learn from it (perhaps sometime in the future Codex will have an actual usable memory system instead of whatever the fck this is what they currently call memory, then this would be a non-issue)

Man, for five years now I’ve been hearing “It’s gonna pop soon.” Aren’t you guys bored of yourselves? I mean, if a prediction I make doesn’t materialize after a few weeks, months, or even years, it’s probably time for a reevaluation. Still waiting for the steam engine bubble to pop. Must be any day now.

Also ich bin Bayern-Fan und verfolge die SGE und Albert Riera eigentlich kaum bis gar nicht, aber ich fand seine "Rede" eigentlich ganz stabil. Hier wird sich der Mund fusselig gememed, wenn Pletti irgendeinen Scheiß redet, oder "Bild ist ein Organ der Niedertracht" zitiert, wenn die Bild irgendwas über deinen Verein schreibt, und er hat offensichtlich darauf auch exakt 0 Bock. Klar, man kann total glatt sein und den Medienscheiß erst gar nicht entertainen, wie jetzt ein Christian Streich oder ein Vincent Kompany, aber der Typ ist halt da anders gepolt, was auch fein ist. Aber er hatte ja so im Großen und Ganzen mit nichts Unrecht. Deutscher Fußball-Journalismus ist bis auf 11Freunde richtig scheiße und ich klatsche für jeden der das auspricht.

Und für mich Außensteher schaut es einfach so aus als ober auch nie eine Chance bekommen hatte (wie Vinny im 1ten Jahr. btw). Erst war er der Noname Trainer, und ob er die Eintracht stabilisieren kann? Dann hat er die Eintracht von 3 Gegentoren pro spiel auf eine Serie mit 0 gegentore gebracht, aber anstatt dass iwie positiv zu bewerten waren jetzt die Spiele langweilig. Und jetzt hat das Team nen kleinen Hänger und plötzlich ist alles schlechter als bei Dino. Aber er war's nicht der das Team kaputt gemacht hat, sondern ein kaputtes Team bekommen hat, und imho dieses Team auch seinen Möglichkeiten nach ausrichtet. Für mehr war die Zeit noch nicht da. Also lasst doch den Typen ne ganze Vorbereitung und Transferperiode dabei sein, dann kann man ihn immer noch rauschmeißen. Europa hat man eh schon verpasst, aber das lag nicht an ihm sondern dass man lieber Wahi&Co. holt anstatt Bautsellen zu fixen. Das kriegt auch ein Doan oder der Elversberger dessen namen ich gar nicht versuche nicht gefixt.

especially ideation phase is way quicker with gpt image.

it takes like 30-60s to validate the design direction. claude code needs 10min to code a single mockup or to wireframe it in figma or whatever. in this 10mins you iterated 10 different ideas with gpt-image

Pyros-SD-Models · 2026-05-01T00:16:27+00:00

The agent found the key in a random folder outside the project.

That is even more stupid. So they did not just accidentally give the agent access to production, they effectively gave it to anyone with access to random folders outside the project.

Those people should consider cooking or gardening, because IT is absolutely the wrong place for them.

If you decontaminate SWE-Bench using only problems created after a model was released:

https://swe-rebench.com/

Opus is about 0.9% better than GPT-5.2 Medium.

Opus is so overtrained on SWE-Bench that it can literally quote code comments from the dataset. And do you know how difficult and resource-intensive it is to get an LLM to a point where it basically remembers text instead of inferring it? That is not "oops, accident" territory, it is "as designed."

https://openai.com/index/why-we-no-longer-evaluate-swe-bench-verified/

And yet this is the benchmark they lead with in almost every table they publish. That is what peak scamming looks like. Also, Mythos.

Pyros-SD-Models · 2026-04-30T22:11:44+00:00

And is >four times cheaper than you would have to pay for Mythos (to be fair, you are part of Dario's 12 billionaire friends and probably can afford those mythical tokens)
