@MichaelStolarzwe're so back
@nmasc_
Scoop: Boris Cherny and Cat Wu are back at Anthropic, two weeks after joining Cursor. 🤯🤯🤯 theinformation.com/briefings/anth…
@MichaelStolarzif you're getting into nvim, ranger, literally any TUI, don't make the mistake of using someone else's config. you can take theirs for a spin, sure, but with today's LLMs, you can build your perfect setup in a fraction of the time compared to the ricing/tweaking of pre-2022.
@MichaelStolarzthis is one of the pillars of the currently occurring mass psychosis you're seeing pop up more and more
sycophancy + hallucinations = mind melt for many
@paulg
Unexpected consequence of the improvement of AIs (though obvious in retrospect): they continue to hallucinate, but as they improve their hallucinations become more authoritative-sounding. So the danger posed by hallucinations doesn't decrease as fast as AIs improve.
@MichaelStolarzyou can tell someone's general age and many other more niche pieces of data simply based on if they say "PM" or "DM"
@MichaelStolarzis k2 a good model? eh. its knowledge is heavily outdated. programming has evolved so much recently, any model that doesn't have at least a january 2025 knowledge cutoff seems retarded
@MichaelStolarzidk what @elonmusk fed grok 4 but GOOD GOD is it breaking through many roadblocks re. coding problems I had waiting for "a smarter model to come by and fix in the future".
@MichaelStolarzsilence from Claude Code means they're cooking up something big I think
or they're dealing with the chaos of both of their main leads getting picked up by Cursor
it's either or
@MichaelStolarzthe reason sonnet 4 outperforms opus 4 in most agentic coding tasks, is that sonnet 4 understands that it is retarded, and so it reads and verifies much more than opus 4 does
opus 4 thinks its godlike, and tries to impress the user with its precision and speed
retard wins again
@MichaelStolarzit's so hilarious to think how 99% of asia, if you told them that it's illegal to use an AC at certain times in the EU, they wouldn't believe you
@MichaelStolarzif you're not programming like this in Q2 2025, you're ngmi
@MichaelStolarzwas short on cursor, now im long on cursor.
@benhylak
.@cursor_ai hired the lead engineer + product manager on claude code (the only anthropic product i use right now)
@MichaelStolarz>be o3
