In a sense, you have always been a meat proxy. The only difference is now you have a second brain

One thing I do not miss in the age of AI is calling out typos in code reviews. Turns out LLMs are good at spelling

Can confirm the iPhone 18 Pro does hurt more if you drop it on your foot compared to previous generations

Wife told me these wouldn’t fit. Little did she know I had trained for this moment for years.

Pro tip: Use side chats in Codex for small questions while main thread is working, and have it report back to the main thread with its findings

Downloaded 44 GB of photos and videos (3 years’ worth) from our daughters’ preschool through the 1Core app. They did not make it easy. Put together this guide in case it helps anyone else: leyanlo.com/blog/exporting-p…

AI is getting pretty good. I haven’t typed `git rebase -i` in a while and I’m not sure how I feel about it

We've usually stayed away from model comparisons but 5.6 vs Fable is a unique situation We've never had a case where the team is so completely convinced on which one is better Here's the timeline of our experience with it - We test early versions of 5.6 for a couple of weeks and have a great time, it feels like a step change improvement, enabling new workflows - We get to try Fable and don't think it's not as good, I personally would take this experience with a grain of salt, there tends to be a bias when trying a new model when you already like another - Fable and 5.6 are taken away because of the regulatory issues - Our team is literally depressed that 5.6 is gone, we are looking for anything that could even partly replace it - Fable comes back, and here's where it gets interesting, you would think Fable would be enough, but no, the team is still depressed that 5.6 isn't available - Then 5.6 comes back and it's immediately clear that it's just way better than Fable This situation was unique in that it was the closest we've ever gotten to having an unbiased comparison of two models

Personal view. On the DoW deal, time and time again I witness how OpenAI operates thoughtfully and diplomatically when it comes to raising the bar on safety. I also believe that figuring out how to deploy powerful new technology in the pursuit of national security (not just the USA) is important. The company deeply understands what it can and cannot reasonably have control over and focuses instead of setting the right guardrails to ensure that deployment is aligned with what is considered acceptable and safe. I am proud of the level of transparency provided in the blog post, and hope that other companies, including Anthropic, were as transparent on prior and future deals they make. openai.com/index/our-agreeme…

Yesterday we reached an agreement with the Department of War for deploying advanced AI systems in classified environments, which we requested they make available to all AI companies. We think our deployment has more guardrails than any previous agreement for classified AI deployments, including Anthropic's. Here's why: openai.com/index/our-agreeme…

More disturbing than price discrimination based on “willingness to pay” are wages based on “willingness to work.” Below, a former food delivery app dev claims that fares are dictated by a “Desperation Score.” The more desperate a driver is for money, the less they get paid.
