After nearly a week using gpt-5 we got roadblocked and thought to give Claude Opus 4-1 another shot.
One hour and $75 USD later and poof, a whole day's work is gone!
But hey, at least we got 35 unsolicited READMEs to make up for it!
Last straw @anthropic.com End of the road for you folks 👋✌️

gpt-5 is for code.
GPT-5 has been hyped for years as the next step towards AGI. Sam Altman promised a "PhD-level intelligence on any topic." It's not even close.
On the terms OpenAI itself laid out for its own product, any fair assessment must conclude that GPT-5 is a failure.
Now the question is: Will it matter?

GPT-5 is a joke. Will it matter?
How the fraught release of the most-hyped AI product yet clarifies the stakes.

In @warp.dev with Claude Sonnet and it told me this:
"The nano editor was opened, but in a headless terminal environment, I can't directly edit the file through nano. I should use sed or other command-line tools to make the changes."
Sounds like it natively wants to do AI agent work, doesn't it?

My hottest take remains to be: 4k TV is a regression. Aside from sports where more detail is better, everything else these days looks like a 1990s soap opera shot on high end home video. Take me back to shallow depth of field please 🙏

I've just realized something pretty important: AI could soon supplant the dominance of the algorithmic feed for news discovery.
Rather than scrolling and following, we'll be able to setup AI assistants—who will know everything about us—to scan the news, identify relevant info and deliver it to us.
