Competition.
replyCan't be just that. There was competition in the GPT-4 era. But we didn't get model drops every month.
replyThis is frankly exciting, outside of the politics of it all, it always feel great to wake up and a new model being released, I personally will stay awake quite long tonight if GPT-5.5 drop in codex.
replyI don't find it exciting at all. I just feel anxiety about my career and my place in the world. I have a set of skills that I've developed over many years. I care about what I create. I consider it a craft. When I use my skills to solve a hard problem, I feel good about myself. When the AI does the work for me, I don't get that sense of accomplishment. I am seeing my value evaporate before my eyes.
replyI hate this stuff and I wish it had never been invented.
You might want to rethink this, think of this as the opportunity of a lifetime, the beginning of a new era, the same as the early Internet, where you do have the chance to set yourself for life now, this window is getting shorter and shorter, but you can't deny that you do have the potential NOW to thrive or start multiple businesses without much capital. Think also that the best thing in the end, is probably to build great things, regardless on how we build them, making the world progress.
replyAnthropic is really tiny, and Google is just being Google, their models are just to show that they're hip with what the kids are doing.
replyI wonder if it's the same model and they just keep adding more post-training.
replyThe rumor was that the 5.5 is a brand new pretrain. But who knows, it's 2x as expensive as 5.4, so it would check out.
replyIf so that would be big, they haven’t been able to successfully pretrain in close to two years (since 4o).
replyThey aren't new models.
