Why I'm personally not too hyped about o3-mini in one image.

I know I'm just one PoV here, but this really hurts for most of the real-world applications I can think of...

Well, I guess the "AI getting cheaper" is technically correct for price-per-token-compute?

But +$6k for running a 400 prompt test? lol

I deeply appreciate Google letting the "chain of thought" process be visible in Gemini "Thinking"

Reminder the tuco tuco exists.

Its chromosomal diploid numbers range from 10 to 70, and is considered "taxonomic chaos"

They challenge our definition of species and make cute noises.

Tried to run "collection of agents" in a sandbox and the "project manager" bot started roleplaying and talking to itself eventually.

Even when all the subordinate functions went dark, it just playacted like it was getting updates.

Amusing, but not a great sign for a future of codebots

Ok finally got them and they're worth it. Tru Tone nostalgia may be a generational thing but dear god I didn't know much I missed proper colored lights until I basked in their glow.

Gemini 2.0 is the only API I've found that doesn't "break character" for fact correction when it can use more in context ways of letting you know it disapproves.

Doubt this will ever be a widely acceptable way to test, but it's an impressive win for tooling

It was everything wrong with UI design of the era, combined with Microsoft's desire to own and bloat whatever ecosystem it touched.

May have been tolerable for seasoned devs, but as a novice? It was bright, confusing, loud and inflexible.

Would encourage everyone in AI space to take a look at Bain's 2024 Generative AI Surveys.

Adoption tends and concerns from companies is a revelation.
People are less worried about safety, much more worried that almost all the tools being sold/pitched are low quality.

Having a blind spot, where I checked out of learning new dev stuff for about a decade (2011-2018 ish)...

I'm still baffled by how much modern stacks are so damn bloated and web based.
Not bad just a alien strange world where everything is JavaScript

Meme that only makes sense for outcomes analysts.

Blind has not helped the problem of people understanding what "total comp" actually means.
