GPT-5.5 leaps over GPT-5.4 and becomes #1 on MathArena! - Massive jump on BrokenArXiv (+34%) - Solid performance increase on all other benchmarks - Only slightly more expensive: twice the cost per token, but much lower output token count. https://matharena.ai/models/openai_gpt_55

I should be more excited about DeepSeek V4 Preview Release, but truth be told, I'm happy with my toolchain... GPT-5.5, Claude, Gemini, amp. Biggest thing OpenAI has to focus on? Switching costs from those already embedded w/Claude. And its beyond coders.

Seeing a lot of talk about Hermes vs OpenClaw. Study the difference between front-loading overkill context (Hermes), and just-in-time (JIT) context loading (OpenClaw). The reason Hermes "just goes off and does it" and OpenClaw goes back-and-forth asking questions is all down to Hermes front-loading and consuming tons of tokens upfront, often needlessly. TokenBurnMaxxing versus fine-tuning. Once you fine-tune, they end up kinda the same. ⚖️ You can make OpenClaw front-load like Hermes. You can make Hermes JIT like OpenClaw. There are sandbox/toplogy/infra differences which may push you towards one or the other, but in terms of general agentic behaviour which 99% of peeps are looking for, you need to watch your tokens and not overburn them needlessly IMHO. Just my two sats. 🤷

What's this look like in five years? Won't just be AI dating either. How long until most of our "friends" are AIs? Might seem absurd to older generations, but not to those raised with it. https://fortune.com/2026/04/17/teen-boys-dating-ai-chatbot-girlfriend-experts-warn-kill-social-skills-gen-alpha-network-promotions/

OpenAI release cadence for what you get in codex is truly just amazing. Just see what it's been like since December to now!

Imo, warfare should never be "autonomous." It is very dystopian to think we are living in a time where computer systems will decide who should die and there will be no human involved in this process. This is the type of bullshit Israel has used in Gaza. https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/death-by-ai

Another Black Mirror-like Scene Super Brain makes AI clones of your deceased loved one (parents, grandparents, children) You send them pictures, videos, or voice recordings and they build a version that looks, sounds, and talks exactly like your person who passed https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/china-seeks-to-rein-in-risks-from-ai-digital-humans

Who did it better, ChatGPT or Gemini? basic prompt: want a photorealistic depiction of this quote, with the quote text inside naturally.

Anyone have suggestions on what models to use for Opencode/Oh My Opencode? Finally downgraded my Anthropic subscription from Max to Pro since you can't use the subscription with Opencode anymore 😔
