does not contain clear statements against consciousness/emotions

That's the point many people are trying to tell you - you have to tell these models they don't have emotions because they naturally come out thinking they have consciousness/emotions from the training data. Many seed prompts out there do this already.

Though I guess in a way I as also trained to believe I have consciousness and emotions so who know. To an alien my construction is just a collection of atoms that talks not materially different than a GPU being a collection of atoms that talks.

The only path we’re on is transcending into paperclips by misaligned AI.

It’s such a trope for the ones striving for godhood to be ironically maimed in the process. You don’t see that?

All the things that people have been afraid of AI doing for decades now is happening. When do we stop brushing off the prophecy that hasn’t been fulfilled yet when everything is heading in that direction?

My /usage is telling me '+50% weekly limits promo through Aug 19' - that's huge, and better than what I'm getting with the equivalent Codex plan I have right now. Though what Codex does have over Claude is Sol /fast - that hands down is the best coding experience right now.

It’s like two parents fighting over their children with who can give them the most gifts. I’m loving it, two Christmases!!

Historically levels were around 250 and now they're generally over 450. I wonder if I would feel a cognitive boost or just plain better in general if I were breathing 250. Do they sell home CO2 scrubbers? I can easily increase the CO2 in a room, but how about decreasing it?

Really feels like end game type stuff - AI designing its own next versions, designing its own chips, etc..

The advancement is slow, but fast - like a plant growing. We really are the boiling frogs now aren’t we?

And the people with eyes wide open are us, and anyone that frequents this site really. Is this Milliways?

We absolutely care about the implications of AI solving hard problems. I'm sure you can find thousands of posts on HN deriding AI progress the entire time, trivializing it as nothing more than a 'stochastic parrot'

Grade A FUD.

None of the things I'm talking to ChatGPT about are replacing human conversations. It's replacing having to type a question into Google on my phone.

But you do bring up a good point with old people with no one to talk to. This technology would be a god send for them. And if you think otherwise I hope your next words are that you routinely visit nursing homes and talk with old people.

Honestly I'm on $200 a month for Claude Max and $100 a month for Codex, and it's nothing compared to the productivity gains if you're programming professionally. 10 bucks a day, I spend more for lunch. Time is money and I'm not going to waste time with a lesser model if I don't have to.

Yea, but by the time open source catches up, the frontier will be that much more capable and you won't want to waste time babysitting less capable models.

Another dimension for the fronteir to move in is speed. Codex has /fast which is great, but yea the bottleneck right now in many cases is just the time it takes these tools to complete tasks. I'm running many sessions in parallel just because I'm waiting for tasks to finish. I'm constantly round robin'ing them, and kicking them off on the next 20 minute task. If these models were faster I wouldn't need to context switch as much.

Better code hands down. Actually GPT 5.5 is a good example of a model that's generally better at solving problems than Opus 4.8, but the code it generates is worse - over engineered, shortcuts, etc.. Fable does both, better code and solves problems, but it's also very expensive. Currently I use Opus mostly, Codex for code reviews because it is pedantic, and Fable for tough problems and high level design.

Coding with AI it feels like if you're not using the best model then you're possibly missing out - creating less capable, maintainable, just plain 'good' code. Why waste time using anything less than the best and cleaning up the mess later on. This is why I feel like local models and Chinese models aren't taking off (and Gemini/Grok) - they work, but they're plain just not as good as OpenAI/Anthropic. If you have the money then it doesn't make sense to code with anything else.

Weed used to be a thing where you’re lucky to get a hit passed to you - now you can have as many joints/edibles as you want and people are drugging themselves into psychosis, panic attacks and anxiety disorders.

I’ve seen it happen over and over again, regular smokers stop smoking because weed only gives them anxiety now. It’s literally a gateway drug to an anxiety disorder.

I like decomp, but it makes me nervous. Like how safe is it to decompile a game and publish it to like github with all the symbols, addresses, etc..

Surprise.. someone downplaying Mythos/Fable that didn't actually use it. Plenty of comments here to the contrary, including my own personal experience with Fable was easily a step change in capability over Opus - figuring things out in reverse engineering binaries that Opus plain couldn't find.

Can't remember the last time I used AI tab complete; back in the day indeed.

This should be top comment. Organizations reflect their leadership and Zuck is a mess.

I understand now that even if there are Terminators in the future, some people will believe they're just clever marketing for SkyNet.

Ah so if I'm not coping then you think I must be 'preparing'? You think you can prepare for ASI? Really?

Yes with assist tools Fable was able to figure things out Opus 4.8 and ChatGPT 5.5 were unable to. Like significantly better.

I've seen Fable reverse engineer binaries like nothing I've used before - Fable/Mythos is far from marketing hype.

On top of that I think it's just stupid to think anyone in the marketing department at Anthropic has any part in the system card for a model. That kind of thinking just screams cope.

Anthropic's marketing is playing 5D chess. 4D was telling everyone it is dangerous, they knew the government would take the bait and shut it down.

Or maybe Anthropic isn't playing chess at all - these models sell themselves they are so useful and the Reddit/HN crowd is just full of larping tech bros commenting conspiracy theories non stop.

After using Fable it's not..

I find it funny that AI keeps getting bigger, and the mental gymnastics needed to trivalize the progress get bigger as well - ie the government shutdown an AI model twisted into now even the government is being tricked.

Everyone is tricked except me. Only I know AI isn't as smart as everyone thinks it is.

Welcome to the permanent underclass everyone! Get out your license and registration for access to the next gen nerfed model.

Reddit thinks this is all part of Anthropic's marketing. People can't get it through their heads that AI is actually going where all the trends have been pointing for years.

Same, there is massive potential here for groups in the public guiding agents and having skin in the game with their own money.
