What if an AI sidekick was there to keep you on task and help make you successful? Like the world's best pomodoro app, but smart. What if it could be better than adderall?

am i the only one that finds o1-preview actually better? more thought out explanations, better understanding with a curt prompt, considers things beyond the immediate file e.g. claude just wrote code that caused an out-of-memory error when launched on gcloud run. o1 caught it

no he didn't say AGI is not gonna happen. no he didn't say scaling stopped working. the lack of comprehension on x dot com needs to be studied. go watch the full talk youtube.com/watch?v=1yvBqa…
