And why are you assuming the industry converged to it when your following statement dismantles your assumption?

Spacex bought cursor, so it now has it’s agent ui which is just as good as codex + it’s multi-modal

Anthropic also has it’s own ui

Zai also launched theirs last month.

Everyone is converging back to UI.

The terminal was just a prototype, everyone knew that.

Screen addiction is a funny term that made realize that it’s the perfect term for this.

I remember in a recent city blackout, me and other people , that didn't have internet or comms, would instinctively pull out their phones and open apps knowingly that there is no connection.

I wonder what’s this about??

Most people never really developed the habit of reading.

They sure did consume the newspaper but that has now been replaced with social media. The medium changed but the habits did not.

I think author is having an existential crisis instead of the world as he wrote.

The addiction of these mediums is undeniable. But let’s not lie to ourselves; only a few people liked to read. Anything that requires deep concentration often needs incentives or real consequences to make it more compelling.

The only way out of this is elimination of the medium itself.

You wouldn’t want a cocaine addict to carry a bag of cocaine in his pocket. But this is what’s happening to us all.

Grok 4.5 14 days ago

We will probably see it when it's available for everyone.

This is the first time I see a lab region locking a model though.

Every year people complain about the cold, heat and allergies. Even if they live 200 years, it would always be the same.

People get use to it, it goes away, cycle repeats. Nobody remembers exactly unless they had a near death experience.

Fable 5 Is Back 21 days ago

If the future of SOTA is handicaped models, then what's the point?

Writing code is already okay for current open models like GLM, QWEN.

I only need SOTA models for slop reviews, clean-ups and helping me with things I am not good at.

I have been extremelly happy with the results of cheaper models recently.

Composer 2.5 is a beast, fast and cheap. The upcoming Grok will probably be even better, since cursor helped trainning it.

Anthropic will lose market share quickly if they can't do better than this fable shit show...

So much of our information is being leaked nowadays that news like these don’t surprise me anymore…

I think everyone should understand that if they truly want something private, storing it offline or destroying it completely, are the only safer options.

Any sort of convenience to access said data, is a possible surface of attack.

Is It Out Yet? 23 days ago

Yes, yes we do.

I like having more things to look up to.

We are in the golden age of AI. It will never be like this again.

The "worst" part of this comment, is that it's not even exaggeration. In the last 6 months, my competition increased 5x. People that didn't have the skills to compete, now do. My margins will keep shrinking while hardware and servers gets more expensive.

It's a fucking miserable future for us software people.

Architecting and "good taste" won't be good enough to put food on the table next year...

It's not that great for coding purposes tho.

I found it to be otherwise, but it was not a complete hands off experience. Which is ideal for me, I like to be specific and grok 4.3 and composer are great code monkeys.

Opus and GPT are the models you want right now, for "I have no idea how to build this, so figure it out".

I've recently used grok build and grok is really competent at coding. Composer is slightly better IMO, but it's really close.

It's not Opus or GPT 5, but that's fine, I don't need the AI to vibecode, I need it to follow my instructions and avoid producing slop.

I think the next models will change everyone's pessimistic minds.

careful there cowboy, we are in the golden age of ai, regulation is still catching up.

You don't want to sell guns to people without some sort of background check. The amount of exploits found in the last few months have been pretty scary already.

This is just one more layer of caution, because it reveals how little we know how these llms work. They know how to make them, but they seem to be unable to properly restrain them.

Yes, I think that too. Besides sports, most young people studying today are aiming for jobs that are mainly indoors. It's not a requirement, of course, but because a lot of modern careers consist of working in offices or other enclosed environments.

No movement, No sun, Stale Air (Unless you have good ventilation). Pretty harmful if we think about it.

I see comments like this and they seem so pointless. The port was done in a week. Do you think the development is finished? Obviously there are some unsafe blocks that will remain forever unsafe. But other will eventually be removed.

Just a bunch of fearmongering

Delegate, do not pair-program. Cat Wu (Claude Code team): “The model performs best if you treat it like an engineer you’re delegating to, not a pair programmer you’re guiding line by line.” Write a crisp brief upfront, then let it run.

This is also how you get a slop codebase that you won’t easily understand.

It becomes a labyrinth that only the Agent knows. It’s not a catastrophe when your making prototypes or projects like you see on X.

But if you are expanding your codebase or trying to build something more professional and maintainable. I find it important to explicitly spec things bit by bit so I can understand and some what keep my writing style in this codebase. But this is only productive when you have a fast model otherwise it kills your chain of thought while you wait for the output.

If the model is slow, delegation is probably the only way.

I trust them because of their reputation. I have been a bun user before v1.0.0 and I experienced some shortcomings, bugs, memory leaks and things of that nature. But all of them were eventually patched, and it has become my go to runtime for at least 2 years now.

I trust their judgement to do the right thing.

I don’t understand the overreaction since this is a parallel development.

If it turns out to be better than make it default. Bugs get fixed it’s not like their zig version didn’t have issues before.

I have had experiences where customers use AI to communicate and express their issues. Sometimes they produce walls of text like the website exemplifies, but overall it's a better alternative to not be able to explain the issue because you don't know the specific terminology and you are just a layman trying to do things.

Show some love for the layman, we are all laymen in areas we don't know about.

No Slop Grenade 2 months ago

I like how the website matches the message. Short and Simple.

It's a matter of having good taste. But AI education will help.

SpaceX S-1 2 months ago

As if any of the marketcaps actualy reflect a company's true value. It's never just about financials.

Two years ago I needed their support and they were so toxic that I just moved to vercel and told them to f off. But I wanted something similar for other services and then I found coolify. There’s absolutely no reason to use railway when you can use coolify.

Even thought there are people using, it doesn’t mean they see a future in it. Google is the best when it comes to analytics and trends. If they see a product is expected to fail, which in this case it was, they simply kill it and move on instead of wasting resources saving a sinking ship.

Of course, something could’ve been improved, but that’s just how they operate.

I could be completely wrong though
