They might revert this particular sycophancy change, but this is the crucible moment: the cat’s out of the bag. OpenAI knows its revenue comes from user subscriptions and to maximize that it must maximize engagement. Contrary viewpoints, as we know from social, does not do that

I think Waymo is such a cool company. They fact that they got full self driving to work is nothing short of a miracle.

Noticing a trend. People who havent built anything with LLMs except ask it some questions will Google something, see a video and come back and claim anything can be built with an LLM. And they want to argue if you tell them it can't. Not in production at least.

What are you supposed to be doing right now? Does it take less than 5 minutes? THEN FUCKING DO IT Does it take longer than 5 minutes? THEN BREAK IT DOWN INTO SMALLER TASKS AND REPEAT THE FIRST STEP FUCKING DO IT

There were >100 videos uploaded on tedx in the last two days. There is only one with >1k views.

Got played by temu slop recently. Spin a wheel to get free gifts. I won!!!!!! Get additional item to get free shipping. Done. 3 days later the adjusted price for all three items is less than what I paid in total. Gamification of shopping. Well played temu. Fool me once.

The robots look very polished. When you see them work it's janky. Unpolished. But this is proof that the age of "MVP that might not look good but works" is over. It's the other way around now. The UI is more important. Frontend over backend.

What will 10x any code editor is generating a temp API key for the llm it used, testing the code it wrote and then deleting the key. Trust me.

The race in AI is like none I have ever seen in any other product or service. OpenAI vs Anthropic vs Google It's insane. Compared to this the Apple vs Google on devices felt like a slow burn. The pace of new features and products is blowing my mind.

The app check-in experience for United Airlines is the worst I have even experienced. Buttons hidden behind buttons. Notifications that don't make sense. Info that one doesn't need to provide.

This is a very interesting but I have a question. Folks tried to break it in purpose and it buckled ... I get that. Does that mean that system with LLMs as OS is brittle and that it will only work in cases where there isn't constant and sustained pressure to break it?

Turner Novak 🍌🧢 Getting rid of the skepticism on some of those faces for a dude just having fun is what we need to take back as a society. You meet a stranger saying high or trying to have a conversation and immediately our defenses are up as if we adults started to believe "stranger danger"

I love how OpenAI gives all its technical staff a chance to present and get in front of the camera. More companies should do this.

Goalpost has moved.
