It's so funny to see the annual cycle of people finding out about some new Twitter/X replacement...
...followed by them flocking over there, convincing their friends and family to use it...
...they come back to Twitter and post about it, saying "Oh my gosh, the discourse there is so amazing!"...
...and then this lasts about two-three weeks, after which they silently come back to being full-time on Twitter once again.
It takes them a while to realize how much they take for granted, and pair that with the fact that the honeymoon phase of using a new app / getting so many likes / comments / engagement with the thought of "wow, I just started, too, and I'm getting so much engagement already!"...
All of it fades away and yeah, X will always take you back in. Welcome back.
@MichaelStolarzIt never ceases to amaze me how people seem to avoid the reality of impending changes, whatever they may be. It seems like, even against all odds, they still hold on to the belief that everything will remain the same. In pretty much every field I can think of, whether it's po… Less
It never ceases to amaze me how people seem to avoid the reality of impending changes, whatever they may be.
It seems like, even against all odds, they still hold on to the belief that everything will remain the same.
In pretty much every field I can think of, whether it's politics, societal structure, software, biology - I change my mind frequently given new information. That's the whole point of progress, right?
I consistently check to see if I have any static beliefs, and I make sure that I always have worthy reasons to believe what I believe. If not, I go down a rabbit hole of research, playing both the defense and prosecutor positions before I finalize my decision.
I've trained myself to enjoy changing my mind on something that feels almost hard-coded into me - it honestly feels like a software update that fixed some bug in my code, to put it crudely.
Most people, from what I can tell, are the opposite - they'll take their opinions and decisions, even if they know they're wrong, to the grave.
They rather go never saying "you were right" - or worse, "I was wrong".

@MichaelStolarzAnthropic's Haiku 3.5 would be justified with a 4x price increase if it supported images. At the very least, they should have kept the price the same as it was, stating that they're working on image capabilities and then increase the price once that goes into effect. All they'v… Less
Anthropic's Haiku 3.5 would be justified with a 4x price increase if it supported images.
At the very least, they should have kept the price the same as it was, stating that they're working on image capabilities and then increase the price once that goes into effect.
All they've really done is shoot themselves in the foot by neither releasing image capabilities nor keeping the price the same, which has led to negative publicity and, for lack of a better term, a failed launch for their "mass use" model.
@MichaelStolarzWhile OpenAI's ChatGPT search has been great for quick questions and straight-to-the-point answers, it fails miserably on any type of follow-up you may have.

While OpenAI's ChatGPT search has been great for quick questions and straight-to-the-point answers, it fails miserably on any type of follow-up you may have.
Unless your follow-up is a question about either something else entirely or for something that truly wouldn't make sense for ChatGPT to repeat itself, it will always do exactly that—repeat itself.
You can see in the screenshot here, all it really does is change a few words, and then it regurgitates the exact same thing, even though I specifically mentioned that it's missing something.
I'd have thought that by now they would have fixed this, as ChatGPT has been around for, what, weeks? Has it been a month yet?
Nevertheless, it should have been squashed and hot-fixed because surely this is annoying to more than just myself.
@MichaelStolarzI think one of the most influential things that Elon's new DOGE project can do is introduce an evolution to the way that Americans pay their taxes every single year. I want to know how much I owe and pay it like a bill. I don't want to use paid services. I don't want to guess… Less
I think one of the most influential things that Elon's new DOGE project can do is introduce an evolution to the way that Americans pay their taxes every single year.
I want to know how much I owe and pay it like a bill.
I don't want to use paid services. I don't want to guess. I don't want to worry about penalties down the road because something slips my mind.
Who honestly believes that the IRS doesn't know how much you owe?
I just want to have a hub where I can dump all of my receipts, expenses, and income streams, whether they come from client work or a 9-to-5 job or the gig economy or crypto investments or... you get the idea.
It would remove literal months of stress, as well as planning and execution time, from everyone's life every single year.
I mean, come on, we literally name it "tax season" because it takes a season to go through it and get it all done.
It's insane to me, and remember, this is all being said without mentioning AI because we all know that it's going to be decades before everyday government services make any practical use of these emerging technologies.

@MichaelStolarzthe funniest / most fun timeline would be if this tweet were true and not made in jest. imagine, riemann's hypothesis confirmed being solved through a tweet-er, post.
@hyhieu226
Grok-3 just proved Riemann's hypothesis. We decided to pause its training to check its proof, and if the proof is correct, training won't be resumed, as the AI is deemed so smart that it becomes a danger to humanity.
@MichaelStolarzI've completely removed using GPT-4o from any of my workflows. I found that GPT-4o-mini works just as well. Rarely do I find room for improvement from whatever processing results I'm looking for. For anything I need to designate more brainpower to, I use O1-mini first, and … Less
I've completely removed using GPT-4o from any of my workflows.
I found that GPT-4o-mini works just as well.
Rarely do I find room for improvement from whatever processing results I'm looking for.
For anything I need to designate more brainpower to, I use O1-mini first, and in rare cases, I'll run it just to double-check through O1-preview.
Absolutely everything else I use Claude Sonnet 3.5.
@MichaelStolarz2025 is really shaping up to be the year of mainstream robotics.
2024 has been one very long teaser of what's to come.
In 2025, we're probably going to see useful general-purpose robotics for under $5,000.
@MichaelStolarzIt's such a no-brainer that anytime I set up search for anything, I focus on making sure all setting names, as well as short descriptions (if available), are able to be fuzzy found.
Another fallback for me is usually ripgrep.
Search results should almost never be empty.

I feel like no matter how much AI we'll have we won't ever solve Search, Printers and LAN setup

It's so interesting to see everyone talking about scaling thanks to Ilya's quote, but they don't seem to understand that there's different types of scaling.
It just goes to show that a lot of people seem to rewrite high performing tweets in order to just boost for engagement rather than have something of substance.
@MichaelStolarzIt's so insane to me that so many people are reading Ilya's quote and the only thing that they're registering are the first and last parts. They completely remove the middle. All they see is "results from scaling up... have plateaued." Weird how no one is mentioning this is spe… Less

All they see is "results from scaling up... have plateaued."
Weird how no one is mentioning this is specifically only regarding pre-training. And more importantly, it only mentions ONE of the phases of training an AI model that uses a vast amount of UNLABELED data.
