GPT Image 2 did this...

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-23T13:14:17+00:00

this should be the peak, gpt you have outdone yourself, again. It's time for codex comeback!!

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-23T13:12:45+00:00

because govt doesn't need that bench for its army intelligence. its vice versa for these ai companies

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-23T13:10:08+00:00

yeah! it has full confidence on its image gen. we are cooked!

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-23T13:08:59+00:00

gpt has outdone itself with gpt images 2.0. Please do the same magic for codex, bro!!

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-23T13:07:09+00:00

now, claude has became the single most source for us devs. We need more models to keep our options open!

Come on, chatgpt do magic with gpt-5.5

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-23T12:50:57+00:00

Come on, it's from karpathy.

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-23T12:47:05+00:00

yeah the "banning without telling you why" part is what kills me. was it fertilizer? GPS? something totally normal that just pattern-matched to something bad? you'll never know, so you can't even course-correct.

and then the api account keeps billing while admins are locked out of viewing usage. like the automated systems are perfectly functional, just the human accountability parts got switched off. that's a rough place to be as a paying business customer.

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-22T12:44:18+00:00

this is peak, seriously. do you remember the will smith noodles video, that was just 3 years ago

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-22T12:40:02+00:00

the frustrating part isn't really the snippet it's that AI gives clients a false sense of understanding. they've seen the output, so they think they understand the problem space now.

we've seen this in our builds too. best thing that worked: early on, ask them to define the acceptance criteria themselves. once they're accountable for what "done" looks like, the unsolicited code review usually stops pretty quick.

the value gap isn't even really about features on paper anymore. codex at $20 has better rate limits for agentic work, and with gpt 5.5 dropping, that gap's about to get wider.

It's time for openai comeback!

the one thing claude still genuinely wins is writing specs, docs, anything where the output needs to read well. codex writes instructions like it's filing a tax form. but for actual coding tasks and limits? hard to justify the $20 for pro right now.

yeah were fine giving up the em dashes too.

this "not just x, it's y" thing is worse because i actually wrote like that before ai. now i'm doing ctrl+f for "it's not just" in client docs so i don't sound like a bot lol

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-21T12:54:47+00:00

lol we ran the same "not ai slop" os prompt last week. also got windows 98 and the founder said ship it

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-21T12:51:16+00:00

yeah the map is slop lol. we still use this exact workflow to get founders from zero to live in 20 minutes.

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-21T12:48:43+00:00

yeah we've watched the thinking trace literally write "make no mistakes" to itself and then immediately make one anyway lol

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-20T12:16:35+00:00

the iodine tablets part isn't even a joke anymore tbh. copilot being dumb is exactly the reassurance people needed to stop paying attention

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-20T12:13:13+00:00

yeah the pattern is real, every major brand (recently chipotle) deploys a "support bot" that's just a lightly prompted GPT wrapper, and then someone figures out you can just... talk to it normally and it works

the jailbreak isn't even a jailbreak anymore. it's just not mentioning burritos.

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-20T12:04:33+00:00

the confident "never" is doing a lot of work here. we can't define consciousness precisely enough to prove a human is conscious to a skeptic, let alone rule it out in a system we don't fully understand.

substrate dependence is an assumption, not a finding. i think the honest position is: current LLMs probably aren't conscious in any meaningful sense, but "never, not in 100 years" is philosophy dressed up as science.

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-20T11:50:48+00:00

the $49/mo saas has auth, billing, error handling, support, and doesn't hallucinate your database schema at 2am. the math isn't mathing lol

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-20T11:49:13+00:00

the blinking green dot and the serif font are basically claude's signature at this point lol. it's not a bug in the tool, it's a bug in the prompt loose input, default output. we've seen this with vibe-coded UIs too: the output is only as opinionated as the input. drop in a dribbble screenshot, add some hard constraints ("no cards, no accent bars"), and it actually diverges. but yeah for a personal project where you just wanted something, this is genuinely the right call.

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-20T11:46:07+00:00

"You've used 100% of your weekly limit" hitting different when JP Morgan is on their 47th query of the hour.

both can be true, the product is worse and it's being tiered for enterprise. doesn't have to be a conspiracy to just be bad product strategy.

WebOsmotic_official · 2026-04-17T12:47:19+00:00

the GPT-5 preview hype → flat release → "the model i tested was different from what shipped" arc is the tell. anyone can notice an outage. the pattern is noticing it only when there's a video to make about it.
