AI Analysis

Burkov shares detailed comparison of Opus 4.6 vs GPT-5.4 after weeks of parallel use: GPT-5.4 (High) consistently more successful, especially in debugging. Claude can spend 30 min without results while GPT fixes bugs quickly. However GPT-5.4 has poor conversational/explanation abilities.

I've been using Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.4 one after another (that is, an Opus session then a GPT session then Opus again, and so on) on the same projects for a couple of weeks now, and GPT-5.4 (High) has been consistently more successful. The difference is even more noticeable in debugging tasks, where Claude can spend up to 30 minutes digging without delivering any result, while GPT finishes with the right fix most of the time. The only problem with GPT is its conversational ability, or rather the

Nathan Lambert introduces 'Lossy Self Improvement' as a concept explaining why AI model self-improvement is real but fast takeoff is unlikely, citing the curse of complexity and diminishing returns.

I've been grappling with why I obviously see self-improvement with AI models being real but fast take-off being fake. I present Lossy Self Improvement as a way to capture the curse of complexity & diminishing returns in a world of self-improvement. t.co/sLE4tuFPU1

Emollick demonstrates that GPT-5 rates a nonsensical, purple-prose sentence highly, arguing LLMs should not be used as judges of good writing because they are easily fooled by pretentious language.

"Goetterdaemmerung's corpus hemorrhaged through cryptographic hash, eschaton pooling in existential void beneath fluorescent hum. photons whispering prayers" is a garbage sentence that GPT-5 loves. You shouldn't be using LLMs as a judge of good writing. They are easily fooled. t.co/TSCZRFK7Zf

AI Analysis

Emollick argues that LLMs lag in writing because there's no objective judge and LLMs have bad subjective judgment of writing quality, preventing self-improvement. Claims 'good writing is bitter lesson proof.'

This is likely a big reason why LLMs are lagging in writing so much, without an objective judge and with bad subjective judgement from the AIs themselves, you can't get any sort of self-improvement. So far, good writing is bitter lesson proof. t.co/mNfXqZlVci

Emollick shares a preregistered study of 968 people showing AI coaching in a single session measurably improved people's ability to communicate empathy, despite low correlation between feeling empathic and communicating it.

AI Analysis

Burkov claims Cursor is a 'scam' VS Code fork, references new evidence of wrongdoing, and alleges they stole from a Chinese lab, connecting it to a chain of IP theft allegations involving Anthropic.

I have always been saying, from day one, that Cursor is a scam to rip naive investors off their cash by selling them a fork of VS Code as a magical AI tool. Now you have proof. And stealing from a Chinese lab? The one accused by Anthropic of stealing from them what they stole first? Can it get lower than that?

Emollick tests Codex by asking it to download Nethack, add new overpowered items, and produce a working .exe file — it succeeded, navigating various issues that older AI tools couldn't handle.

This was kind of fun. Codex: "download nethack, add new items that would make the game easy to win and make me feel powerful" It did & it successfully gave me a new .exe file, navigating various issues to do so, which used to be something beyond the abilities of older AI tools. t.co/WMkLxbwQjW

Logan (Google AI) proposes that with AI coding, every app/website could become an App Store - suggesting AI could enable in-app creation of sub-applications.

With AI coding, it’s possible every app / website becomes an App Store. The second and third order effects of this are interesting to think about.
