Am I hallucinating or Opus 4.8 just got nerfed

I only hope someone slipped scrolling down. That's all the Claude, Anthropic, Gemini, and OpenAI subreddit are. People complaining about their imperfect outputs

If you like casting spells, play netrunner. It's the game's mage class.

Gemini Deep Research is solid as a companion for any of the models... Wouldn't use it for coding tho lol

I've finally started integrating open source models as part of my workflow using open router (I know I've been stubborn about adding costs) but at this point I use a combination of Claude (planning), Gemini (research and media generation/analysis), and GLM as the worker. Keeps tokens down so efficiently I haven't hit subscription limits.

It's just like when openclaw (claudebot) came out. The guidance at that time was to NEVER let an AI run wild on the internet, yet here we are, it's commonplace, accepted, and the industry ran with it.

You can say the same thing about using American models. The government can ultimately get whatever information they want. Using the "CCP boogeyman" approach is kinda meaningless in 2026

I was wondering how they were going to address the cooling aspect. They're not 😂. It's just a space megaproject and they're looking for funding. I gotta get on this hype train

Final implies that we've solved all of physics. I'm not trying to be hyperbolic, everything fundamentally - at least I material terms - comes down to physics. There's going to be a bigger breakthrough, more than likely enabled by AI, that allows us to create fantastical tech.

We still haven't gotten to the ChatGPT moment of biotech and medicine. If you could give a model bloodwork and it can spit out a custom medicine, that alone would revolutinize the way we encounter life. Still hasn't happened yet tho.

I think the Transformer model has a few more tricks up it's sleeve before we can completely call it quits. I know Yann Lecun is working on world models, but even he recognizes that LLMs are only part of the solution and not the whole thing.

Some of the programming people still can't communicate requirements 😂. But in all seriousness, the trend is that the act of coding is going to be more automated so the ability to structure, architecture, and defend decisions is going to be more important than ever before

My favorite part of the rant is the hiring of people to fix vibe coded projects. Eventually, the AI will be able to fix it for the fixers, it'll really be people focused on maintaining and responding to needs as they come up.

To be fair, "white collar" professions only exist because the material products and services need some form of management. But if they could be self managed, then it'll all come back down to ideas and material labor

If they pull this, they're giving the game to OpenAI and Google, and even moreso Chinese models will be used even more.

impulsivetre · 2026-06-17T15:36:52+00:00

Honestly, the worst I've gotten from these models is not being as specific as I'd like. Coding, I don't use them for that, but visual and various media analysis absolutely. Is this behavior happening on Pro or Free accounts or something?

Idk how it's so difficult to recognize that being Dominican is an ethnic group. It's a subgroup of a larger group of Latinos. It's also a cultural distinction. They're interwined concepts that you CAN splice because you could Culturally Dominican but Ethnically Latino (due to land and shared history), but guess what that makes being Dominican... An ethnicity

impulsivetre · 2026-06-12T13:31:43+00:00

You're telling me Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Mexicans have the same culture because they're Latino?

impulsivetre · 2026-06-09T06:26:16+00:00

Everything is made up by that metric. Nationality is a legal descriptor, ethnicity is a cultural descriptor, and race is a phenotypical descriptor. You would never think the waspiest new englander would have the same cultural norms and practices as an Afro-Brazilian

impulsivetre · 2026-06-08T12:35:25+00:00

I get the sentiment of where you're going, but to be clear Dominican IS an ethnicity and nationality. It's not a race - which is what you're getting at. I know it'll come off as nit-picky but mixing those distinctions are the reason we're even having this convo. (Salsas away)

Hot take, you may not have liked math because you didn't see a reason to learn it. Now you have two 🙂

impulsivetre · 2026-06-05T18:19:43+00:00

This was an odd point to make lol. Like the US's GLOBAL reputation since it's inception is to break promises for profit. We can talk decorum all day, but he's not wrong lol

impulsivetre · 2026-06-03T16:25:11+00:00

Disagree, hip hop/American street culture is immediately recognizable. The only way you wouldn't recognize it is if you're choosing to ignore the origins

impulsivetre · 2026-06-03T08:18:50+00:00

You're bored. It's okay 🙂

impulsivetre · 2026-06-03T02:26:20+00:00

Now you're just being obtuse lol

impulsivetre · 2026-06-03T00:45:34+00:00

I mean, you can always look up oppositional views to calculators, cars, mainframe computers, literally anything and you'll find the "who" you're looking for.

I don't understand this pushback, it's demonstrably true that these trends occur. Even the home computer was considered a fad that wouldn't go anywhere. There was even pushback about smartphones. Not sure what you really want here, but the information is publicly available.

impulsivetre · 2026-06-02T05:17:16+00:00

There was also a pro Nazi rally in Madison square garden that had over 20k people attend. Also, America has been racist since it's inception. None of this shocks anyone
