Frontier labs have graduated from chart crimes to straight-up chart terrorism.
This slide from the Anthropic IPO roadshow was a big factor in my decision to leave. It’s an insane plot and I’m surprised they made it public.
It shows the compute efficiency of pretraining over time. The y-axis is a **log scale**: they are seeing continued superexponential algorithmic progress.
Mythos was not a one-time deviation, but a point on a superexponential. They could already retrain Mythos with a fraction of the compute originally needed.
It doesn’t strictly imply a software-only intelligence explosion- they have been spending more on R+D. But algorithmic improvements do not require ridiculous creative genius and are on the verge of being automated. You do the math.

Type of guy who believes superintelligent nanoswarms are a year away but it’ll take China 15 years to build an EUV machine

Lord grant me the confidence to post shit like this during a 12 hour global outage.

“Nothing can stop AI, just get used to it” and “The industry that makes this technology will completely collapse if the wrong guy has an affair” seem like somewhat contradictory ideas

So it seems like a lot of the vulnerabilities found by Mythos, were not real vulnerabilities?

Lmao one Opus 5.5 prompt to figure out that its an OpenCode fork, and they got SOTA on terminal bench by hard coding in hints.
No end to the larp
We achieved SOTA on Terminal Bench 2.1 using a DeepSeek v4.1 Flash model.
92.2% at $0.08 cost per task.
Previously Opus 5.5 was the leader at 87.6% at $0.50 cost per task (vals.ai/benchmarks/terminal-…).
Now the obvious question is how did we do it? How can you possibly improve a Flash model to beat frontier models like Opus, Fable, and Astra?
The truth is, we over-obsess about models when they are only half of the equation. The other half is the code that wraps around the model. In fact all of the most revolutionary products (Instinct, Muse, Claude Code, OpenClaw, etc.) are all just harnesses optimizations.
Rather than try to build a new model or fine-tune, we built a harness that would make:
Flash Models —> Frontier Results
Frontier Models —> Beyond Frontier Results
Did I mention it’s also ~6x faster than Claude Code?
And we’re now live. Go Check it out!

I understand your concerns — but you're clearly overreacting.
After his sauna session, DHH™ will just dump 6-7 billion more tokens to Omarchy™ and all your configurations will magically come back.

I can’t believe two years of “our tech is going to make you unemployed forever, be used to surveil you at all times, and possibly kill off humanity” didn’t endear people to it

This is a good filter for people who I don’t want to work with. Please understand how computers work. This isn’t even about understanding Docker. Any software person should know how the layers work at a high level and this is a VERYYYYY high level.

You are surprised that years of tech bros talking about the permanent underclass didn’t lead to the warm fuzzies?

We ain’t gonna take on your 100k lines in a weekend project as a dependency bro.

man, who should i trust? a bunch of nerds who made linux run on apple silicon, reverse engineering that pesky gpu isa among a gazillion other things, all pre-ai.
or the guy who thinks having your agent rewrite shitty rust he never looked at in x86_64 is excellence?
If you can't parse the meaning of the excerpt on the left you are functionally illiterate tbh

I've completely changed my opinion on /greploop and having my agent "fix until CI is green"
It's one of the biggest slop amplifiers possible
I had Astra loop on a PR stack overnight assuming it would fix everything, and I'd wake up to PRs that were ready to merge in
Instead, I woke up to 20,000 lines of code that were a series of edge case -> patch -> new edge case -> patch -> red CI -> patch -> over and over again
The code was disgusting. I had to close all the PRs and start over
It just feels like when there's no human in the loop, the agent is incapable of looking at the big picture architecture, and gets so reactionary to every finding - even more so when you have multiple PR bots being triggered in parallel
Not to say that PR bots are useless, I actually think they're great. But I've found that I need to be in the loop every time they're triggered to have final say on what the next steps are
Is this just me?

AI perverts who complain about license changes are so funny to me
"the code I was abusing got taken away :c"
I thought AI could just write you new code? Better code even?
Or is there some part of code writing that AI cannot replicate?

⚠️⚠️ All LNbits users should stop their LNbits servers IMMEDIATELY. ⚠️⚠️
Please forward this announcement.
Following a wave of attacks, we have a number of security patches to push. Until then, it's better to err on the side of caution. 🙏
Updates to follow soon.

Every person that talks about running twelve agents per repo 24/7 has absolutely nothing to show for it
