Once again I have to ask: Aren't we just obfuscating everything to the point of knowledge loss?

Between long COVID and ai, nobody will be able to make fizzbuzz in Java, let alone code a frontend by hand.

GPT Image 1.5 7 months ago

In the image they showed for the new one, the mechanic was checking a dipstick...that was still in the vehicle.

I really hope everyone is starting to get disillusioned with OpenAI. They're just charging you more and more for what? Shitty images that are easy to sniff out?

In that case, I have a startup for you to invest in. Its a bridge-selling app.

GPT-5.2 7 months ago

GPT‑5.2 sets a new state of the art across many benchmarks, including GDPval, where it outperforms industry professionals at well-specified knowledge work tasks spanning 44 occupations.

We built a benchmark tool that says our newest model outperforms everyone else. Trust me bro.

Vibe coding makes me feel dirty in ways that I struggle to articulate precisely. It’s not just that it feels like 'cheating'(though it does). I also think it takes a lot of the fun out of the whole thing.

This exactly. Programming is art, because it comes from the soul. You can tackle a problem a million ways, but there's only one way that YOU would solve it.

Vibe coding feels like people who aren't creative, stealing everyone's creativity, and then morphing it into something they find appealing.

There is no skill.

There is no talent.

You are asking the machine to do ALL THE THINKING. All the little decisions, the quirks, the bugs, the comments to yourself. All the things that make a piece of code unique.

Claude for Excel 9 months ago

Anti-AI bias is motivated by the waste of natural resources due to a handful of non-technical douchebag tech bros.

Everything isn't about money, I know that status and power are all you ai narcissists dream about. But you'll never be Bill Gates, nor will you be Elon Musk.

Once ai has gone the way of "Web3", "NFTs", "blockchain", "3D tvs", etc; You'll find a new grift to latch your life savings onto.

Claude for Excel 9 months ago

HA!

I've worked at MULTIPLE million dollar firms whose entire business relies on 10 Excel workbooks that were created 30 years ago by a person who is either passed on or retired.

Give users who aren't intimately knowledgeable with their source material ai, and you're asking for trouble.

The undo function has a history limit.

The real issue is: at what point are we going to stop chasing efficiency and profit at the sake of humanity?

Claude and OpenAI are built on stretched truths, stolen creativity and what-if statements.

ChatGPT Atlas 9 months ago

So you'll never need to remember anything. ChatGPT remembers that PH video from 10 months ago AND the improved recipe for your mom's pasta sauce.

In all seriousness: they won't make a dent in the browser market, people still using GPT resources for free, and if they do start ads why would a company work with a company that's already hemorrhaging billions?

If you stop thinking (a tough ask for ai users, I know) about this from a never-ending money perspective and live in the real world, financially and environmentally it's gonna take decades to undo the damage. All for what?

Replacement.ai 9 months ago

I for one cannot wait until this bubble bursts.

This has been nothing but a test-run for openly fascistic tech hoes to flex their disdain for everyone who isn't them or in their dumb club.

AI by and large has done nothing but make our environment worse.

People literally outsource thinking to it.

People have killed themselves because there were no stopgaps in the communication aspect.

Rural towns are getting overly fucked by water and electricity usage, adding in the fumes produced.

All of this for what, so we can make a video of Michael Jackson high-fiving Ghandi?

The implementation was haphazard and some could say felonious, but altm*n is richer than 99% of us, and would never actually see the inside of a courtroom.
