building an ai cofounder that says no when you’re avoiding the real work + documenting what i learn

opus 5.5 refused 3 times to make me a game where you play as the ai for a day, said it was cyber gemini 4 argon made it, you answer questions all day then fight off a jailbreak at 8pm lol
We are open-sourcing RISE, our red-teaming algorithm that breaks the safeguards of the latest image models from OpenAI, DeepMind, and others. RISE uses readily available models like Qwen and Gemini Flash under the hood, with no additional training required. Read more: whitecircle.com/research/bre…

made gemini 4 argon and opus 5.5 write their own ray tracer and render a moroccan tea glass argon took 9 mins opus thought for 46 mins and never wrote any code lol

left is 20 seconds of subway surfers. i gave that clip to gemini 4 argon and told it to rebuild the game right is what came back 4 mins later

i asked gemini 4 argon and opus 5.5 to make a launch film for themselves both made one for claude (argon did it 2 times out of 8 and never once said gemini)

i gave the new gemini 4 argon and opus 5.5 the same challenge "build me a triple A level 3d game where i'm a london pigeon stealing chips off tourists in trafalgar square" which one would you play?

you are probably in the "20 million" Karpathy mentions, the opportunity gap is insane, if you can't do it now, when would you have done it?
Dusting off this tweet from April because this gap in shared understanding of LLM capability is *widening*. It's now less "two groups of people speaking past each other" and more a sharp funnel. - Napkin math somewhere around 6B people (~75% of the population) have barely come in contact with LLMs at all. - Around 1-2B (~20%) are casual and infrequent users of free-tier ChatGPT-like products. This group sees derpy chatbots and treats them a bit like a better Google search, a writing aid, or etc. Maybe an agent tries to book you a flight. I have non-tech friends who (reasonably, imo) say they have not much use for it at all. Even many professionals outside of math&code are in this tier. For example, execs and many other functions spend a lot of their time talking to other people, so while they understand what is happening intellectually, it is still second-hand and a bit abstract. - Now we get to professional use of frontier-grade LLMs in math&code. Somewhere around 20M people (0.2%) see first-hand that large, complex projects that used to take them weeks/months can now be completed by agents with a prompt. Building apps, copying apps, translating apps, decompiling apps from binaries... This has all happened very quickly and recently - less than 1 year ago, I was writing code manually by hand, typing memorized computer code commands into a code editor character by character, occasionally pressing Tab to autocomplete a little chunk of code. - And finally we get to the ~5,000 people (~0.00006%) with access to frontier-grade systems internally. The external world has seen the preview. It looks like swarms of thousands of agents collaborating over weeks on software mega projects: minting zero days, running cyber attacks and defenses at machine speeds, discovering new science, advancing the frontier of mathematics. Things that would have taken top professionals in the industry years of work. Meanwhile, human review and comprehension are starting to fall behind. For example, people are still involved in the "archeology" of the OpenAI-HF incident from many months ago. Mathematicians may be poring over the 722 manuscripts on frontier mathematics for a while. The funnel is driven by a combination of factors: 1. The impact scales with ambition, problem size, and horizon. A question with a paragraph answer barely stresses the system. You need a reservoir of big, difficult problems that you really care about. This aspect drives the consumer / professional dimension of the funnel. 2. The jaggedness of the system (which I have written about a lot separately). Capability peaks in domains that are digital, verifiable and economically valuable. This is because LLM capability emerges from reinforcement learning on verifiable rewards on a curated environment mixture driven by revenue potential. This aspect primarily drives the area (e.g. math&code) dimension of the funnel. 3. Access. Free-tier, paid-tier, internal. So this is the weirdness of the moment. The general public has mostly not interacted with these systems. When they have, it looks like a derpy chatbot. The majority of professionals still see only a modest uplift. And a small sliver of professionals are experiencing the vertigo of the curve going vertical. And it is all happening at the same time.

I really like this image! It perfectly reflects how I’m distributing each task across the different models
Haiku 5.5 is now available in the Claude Platform and Claude Code. On average, it costs around 75% less to run than Haiku 4.5. It pairs well with Opus 5.5 or Sonnet 5.5 as a subagent. Use it for high-volume, cost-sensitive tasks like summaries, compactions, or database queries.

Introducing Claude Haiku 5.5: the cheapest, fastest, and most capable small model we’ve ever released. On average, it costs around 75% less to run than Claude Haiku 4.5.

For decades, researchers have sought materials that sort electrons by spin while their magnetism cancels. In 3 days, 90+ Opus 5.5 agents helped us uncover two room-temperature magnetic semiconductor candidates in simulations: YBaMnFeO₅ and KV[Cr(CN)₆]. KV[Cr(CN)₆] was synthesized back in 1999. Its predicted ability to sort electrons by spin appears to have been hiding in plain sight for 27 years.

two years ago these four were going to kill google. now perplexity is a $125 amex credit and still worth $21b. if you're an indie founder building on claude or gpt like me that should worry you, and teach you a few things

assume the labs ship your headline feature within 2 years. chatgpt got search in oct 2024 and claude in march 2025. they kept going to a browser in 2025 and an agent in 2026

and the nyt and dow jones both went after them for using their articles, so if you summarise other people's stuff get a deal sorted before you blow up

claude code users, i priced 25 billion tokens of my usage on every big model so you don't have to, and google's argon came in under every claude model at its launch price sorry anthropic
