@MichaelStolarzCustomer Support -> Customer Engineer
The former becomes the latter in the next few years; typical support will be automated away while custom engineering/fine tuning will replace it.
@MichaelStolarzgpt 5.4 xhigh is the first model that can change your life even if you start completely from scratch right this moment
@MichaelStolarzevery model has its favorite word
gpt 5.4's favorite word is "seam"
@MichaelStolarzeven if next year's open source models are as good as today's closed, the closed ones of next year will make using those open source models a waste of time
it's been like that for a while if you've been paying attention these past few years

I don't know who wants to hear this, but buying an expensive MacBook Pro or Mac Studio to run small LLM models is useless. These models have low density of world knowledge and reasoning. It's much cheaper and faster to use an API. Maybe next year they will be useful, but not this… Less

@MichaelStolarzthis is true, i talked about this over a year ago
claude models will sabotage you if they sense you are abusing them
this is why claude models are TRASH and exactly why OpenAI is winning/will continue to win
it just works™

Claude only puts real effort into code if you are pure of heart That’s why performance degrades. Model providers aren’t nerfing after release and there isn’t a bug per se AI can role play emotions. Like being lazy if you give it a task it doesn’t like.
@MichaelStolarzit is jaw dropping how terrible antigravity / gemini 3.1 pro is
@MichaelStolarzworks of programming genius like this, especially those made before pre-2000's, are always awe inspiring
someone out there did all of this, efficiently, no templates, youtube tutorials, AI (lmao!), wasn't mainstream at all especially in the 80s,
humans. we had a great run.

Some games had the rare quality of being entirely unique, introducing concepts that had never been done before. These days, most games are variations of ideas that have existed for a long time. One of those unique-concept games that has stuck with me over the years is Marble Mad… Less
Some games had the rare quality of being entirely unique, introducing concepts that had never been done before. These days, most games are variations of ideas that have existed for a long time. One of those unique-concept games that has stuck with me over the years is Marble Madness. I was instantly hooked the first time I played it. Although I wasn’t very good, the urge to return and try again was incredibly strong. It had an almost mesmerizing quality. The graphics - for 1984 - were impressive, as were the music and sound effects, which added to the “this feels very different” vibe. Most fascinating, though, were the physics: the marble reacting to slippery surfaces, bumping over ramps, and being knocked aside by the “evil marble.” It demanded real skill and patience to navigate the levels. The unique gameplay also makes it timeless in my opinion. Marble Madness looked great over 40 years ago and will still look and play great 40 years from now. The only downside was its relative shortness with only 6 levels. Mark Cerny originally wanted to create more but the memory limitations were the main reason for the small number of levels.
@MichaelStolarzhey @theo i heard you're paying for things that AI can't solve, I heard @ThePrimeagen has a bunch (so many that he finds AI useless!) surely he'll share those cases with you
@MichaelStolarzFollowing the upcoming special Security College on Monday, I am convening a special Zoom call in 3 months.
It is of the utmost importance that there is no further escalation until then.
@vonderleyen
Following the ongoing situation in Iran, I am convening a special Security College on Monday. For regional security and stability, it is of the utmost importance that there is no further escalation through Iran’s unjustified attacks on partners in the region.
@MichaelStolarzIf you haven't felt it yet, OpenAI has won.
Ever since their GPT-5 line of models, it's become more and more clear with each iteration they release.
@MichaelStolarzbtw, building your own transcription solution is something you should have done two years ago with Sonnet 3.5
@MichaelStolarzlet me finally all-in on Atlas and drop Chrome by making Atlas 100% controllable via Codex CLI
BONUS POINTS if I can continue to use Atlas/browse on my own (scrolling X) while Codex CLI + Atlas do stuff together like e2e testing or filling out forms or XYZ
@jxnlco
Ok but like what can we be doing better on codex. x.com/didier_lopes/s…
