As if you are just a such a genius the models are of no use to you.

How can you not think that makes you sound like a complete moron?

I would urge you to leverage some critical thinking, re-read what I stated, and identify where I said that the models are of no use to me. If the ability to think for yourself without AI assistance hasn't fully atrophied on your end you may be able to see that you are the moron in this thread.

I guess I really am just that much smarter than you.

I just don't understand how someone can have these models at their disposal not learn anything?

The general lack of intellectual curiosity is just mind blowing to me.

You are just such a genius. We all stand in awe. Thank you for letting me be in the presence of such towering intellect.

Some might even say Dirac like but I so NO, this simply does not go far enough.

I will remember this moment for the remainder of my life. Thank you.

We will have the age of the centaur across all white collar domains. How long that age lasts I don't think is all that relevant before it has even happened.

The question is not human in the loop but how many humans in the loop?

Then I think about what does a team of 3-4 centaurs look like? For me, it looks like the unemployment line. I am sure there are people on this board who are in the top 5% of whatever the domain is in question. They will be part of the centaur while most people are just redundant.

If you try to counter this with a nineteenth century economic heuristic about coal use , I don't think it works.

The worst to me is the way people dehumanize other people who don't agree with them.

The other side politically doesn't just have different views, they are barely human knuckle draggers. Basically neanderthals, so who cares if they go extinct.

"don't agree with them" is carrying a lot of weight here, isn't it?

It does.

One side: this group of people shouldn't even exist. The other side: no, let them exist actually.

It’s HN. People create new accounts here all the time to protect their anonymity.

Trolls do as well. Very often if a comment is "bad", it comes from a relatively new account. Then it gets banned and a new account is created. Technically it's ban evasion, but dang doesn't really want to change anything at this point.

The other side sees you the same way, congrats on being enlightened.

I feel like Gemini 3 was incredible on non-software/coding research. I have learned so much systems biology the last two months it blows my mind.

I had only started using Opus 4.6 this week. Sonnet it seems like is much better at having a long conversation with. Gemini is good for knowledge retrieval but I think Opus 4.6 has caught up. The biggest thing that made Gemini worth it for me the last 3 months is I crushed it with questions. I wouldn't have even got 10% of the Opus use that I got from Gemini before being made to slow down.

I have a deep research going right now on 3.1 for the first time and I honestly have no idea how I am going to tell if it is better than 3.

It seems like agentic coding Gemini wasn't as good but just asking it to write a function, I think it only didn't one shot what I asked it twice. Then fixed the problem on the next prompt.

I haven't logged in to bother with chatGPT in about 3 months now.

I think people want to read how AI is not working , so those are the articles that are going to get traction.

Personally, I don't think the current frontier models would help the company I work for all that much. The company exists because of the skill in networking and human friendships. The company exist in spite of technological incompetence.

At some level of ability though, a threshold will be reached and a competitor will eat our lunch whole by building a new business around this future model.

It is not going to be a % more productive than our business. It is like the opposite of 0 to 1. The company I work for will go from 1 to zero really quick because we simply won't be able to compete on anything besides those network ties. Those ties will break fast if every other dimension of the business is not even competitive and really in a different category.

To me it is like steering a car into the ditch and then posting how the car went into a ditch.

You don't have to drive that much to figure out that what is impressive is keeping the car on the road and then traveling further or faster than what you could do by walking. For that though you actually have to have a destination in mind and not just spin the wheels. Post pointless metrics on how fast the wheels spin for your blog no one reads in the vague hope of some hyper Warhol 15 milliseconds of "fame".

The models for me are just making the output of the average person an insufferable bore.

I had a 1990 Ford Taurus as my first car. I had got it used and I remember it being completely impossible to afford a new car at the time.

It was sticker price of $33,000 adjusted for inflation:

I don't think it would even feel safe to drive at all compared to what we have got use to with modern cars. It broke down 3 times while I had it and stranded me on the road. No cell phone of course to call anyone.

These were the mythic "good ol days".
