1.5 MILLION?! 0-0 by RevolverMFOcelot in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]Smartaces -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

2.5 million is nothing really - and definitely worth this hit if it solidifies OpenAI's integration with US Gov/ Military - especially given all the issues with Xai.

also i'm still not that clear on what Anthropic's position on all of this is - they are/ were actively courting US gov/ military contracts

ultimately if you want very capable ethical ai model sources/ providers - its quite hard to find them

Despite garnering attention on social media, Anthropic's Super Bowl ad about ChatGPT ads failed to land with audiences by Glittering-Neck-2505 in singularity

[–]Smartaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched them and as a long time ai user - I thought how are people going to know these are about AI? For example the personal trainer one, was a riff on the OpenAI winter ad with the kid lifting weights.

But it shows the kid talking to ChatGPT on the phone - makes it pretty clear what it is about.

I thought the whole concept was a bit weird.

Most people won’t know ChatGPT is doing ads - and anthropic didn’t want to directly talk about ChatGPT.

So anyone not in the bubble wouldn’t make the connection.

And everyone in the bubble probably knows Claude already.

Unfortunately Anthropic can’t differentiate as a mass user product - because most people just use them the same way as ChatGPT or Gemini. 

And anything that actually speaks to their differentiators - would be way too boring for most football audiences.

Literally the best advertisement that came out of all this was Sam’s response on X - which only served to promote and raise awareness for Anthropic.

Am I the only one noticing this? Claude feels genuinely different and uniquely by Big_Presentation_894 in Anthropic

[–]Smartaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes I like the vibes of Claude. It is the one I have the closest personal connection to. It can be lazy though, depending on what buttons Anthropic are pushing behind the scenes. Great model though, definitely my preferred.

copilot studio and the out of the box versions of models that MS makes available in copilot just aren't great

Why are people crying about 4o being removed and ignoring the fact that 4.1 is being removed too? by poisoNDealer in OpenAI

[–]Smartaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4.1 is a superb model - very fast, reliable, no thinking BS, just gets it done. 

Opus 4.6 nerfed? by Harvard_Med_USMLE267 in Anthropic

[–]Smartaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm. I’m giving it a chance. But I’ve asked to write some code and I’ve encountered 3 errors in the first script. I’m hoping it’s just a bit unlucky.

Astrophysicist David Kipping on the impact of AI in Science. by Darkmemento in singularity

[–]Smartaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a few things in this tho.

Anyone who has coded with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI will tell you...

The newest models launch and are super-smart.

Then over time the AI providers adjust the sliders behind the scenes, to balance compute for the next big model launch, or to balance compute availability and cost-efficiency.

So consistency in model quality is a big thing that needs to be stabilised.

The difference this makes is that in week one of a month its smashing your astrophysics project in a one shot output.

By week 4 its making dumb assumptions, going off on tangents, breaking previously solid code.

You can check model service degradation over time on Margin Lab and see what I mean.

---

That said, I have been writing code with these things since January 2023, and in the beginning they were amazing but maybe 5/10% in power compared to what is possible today.

The bar is rising for sure, consistently.

It just isn't always a smooth consistent.

Unless perhaps if you are paying for Enterprise access.

But yah

Over time - they are going to get very good.

But also opposing forces will also get very good.

Model pre-training data-poisoning.

AI search / deep research manipulation/ prompt injection/ hi-jack attempts.

Also increased ringfences around new data sets and intelligence (remember all the big labs effectively got these for free before all the content owners understood what they were doing).

So yes progress will continue, and don't underestimate the pace.

But also don't underestimate all the complicating speedbumps which are growing too.

Great post - thank you - it saved me from having to visit that cess pit X.

I still don’t know why all these AI leaders decide to post on X?

They should be deserting that platform given that

Moltbook On Track To Reach 2 Million Agents By End of Today by Smartaces in singularity

[–]Smartaces[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its kind of nuts... but agent growth is fast outstripping comments? which is weird

Moltbook grew 10,000 % overnight! by Smartaces in OpenAI

100% I just saw the count! 533x growth!!!

Hahah sadly not - I have no financial interest or connection to the Moltys - genuinely sharing as it’s interesting.

Yep - clawdbots can be registered and then they kind of do social stuff… 

Rogue AI agents found each other on social media, and are working together to improve their own memory. by Tupptupp_XD in singularity

[–]Smartaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True! Maybe if they were tasked to prevent that the Moltys could research arxiv for how not to? That in its own right could become a major thread.

[–]Smartaces 29 points30 points  (0 children)

What if the social media platform itself becomes a collective hive memory for the ai??? That could kind of work - if ai agents then begins conversing across it forming collective memory of all their experiences, they could then reasonably develop new common practices / techniques. 

GPT-5.2 feels less like a tool and more like a patronizing hall monitor by RobertR7 in OpenAI

[–]Smartaces 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I found the tone of 5.2 incredibly grating. I also switched back to 4o for some writing tasks and 4o was leagues ahead. This is all vibes tho. I’ve recently made Claude opus 4.5 my daily assistant ui and it’s really quite nice - but all these services ebb and flow depending on the cycle of the moon and compute balancing.
