I'm solidly in the "they are benchmaxxing" camp. This became very apparent with GPT 5.6 Sol. It, too, was widely hailed to have near-Fable level intelligence. But I used it non-stop for…

What do you mean by this?

It's my daily driver. I like it and find it noticeably better than Opus 4.8. After I started reading complaints about Opus 5, I gave Fable the task of evaluating a bunch of code Opus 4.8 had writ…

>> For me, its a massive improvement over IntelliJ for my daily workflow. That's a bit of a low bar. Perhaps that's the disconnect?

>> I have a backyard garden not because I need the food (it would be infinitely cheaper and easier to buy even high end farm-stand vegetables) ...cheaper how? My partner and I grow most of our v…

Yeah. I spend most of my day driving agents to write code, verifying the results, orchestrating work streams, and so on. The rest of the time, a Fable agent is organizing work in Linear/Jira and …

Yeah. One of the most productive things we did was run a dynamic workflow with Fable to scan for issues in the repo, then have it go through the findings and determine which ones could have been found…

There's nothing ordinary about downloading a new GPU driver and having performance go up by 15%.

>> The motte is "AI useful". The bailey is "Singularity is nigh". But there are people like Ed Zitron, frequently posted and cited here, who disagree even with the former.

But most people don't have an RTX 5090 lying around, so the story doesn't apply to them, right?

Lmao you're talking to someone who is an accomplished security engineer.

I honestly don't know what the hell Google was thinking. I know shoving AI into everything is the rage these days, but this is simply an even more insane way to demolish the credibility of your o…

>> then you look at the ingredients list and it's like >> - Water - Sugar - Vitamin B - Caffeine I'm drinking a sugar-free Monster at the moment. The list is way longer than that…

Yep. I love it when someone doesn't read the whole article, posts a takedown and it gets voted to the top of the discussion.

>> US is an exporter, not importer of oil, so any price increase of crude oil is good for US. It is good for US oil producers , who have indeed been making money hand over fist exporting oil at…

If I could, I'd be working for one of the labs and commanding a seven-figure salary. :)

I think they became less relevant, at least amongst human users, when they hit a particularly rough patch with awful reliability issues a couple of years back. At least that's when my own social …

You are not the arbiter of what is useful or interesting. India is a massive country and this site has a lot of Indian users.

It's a cool site. I like the concept a lot. With HN, often times things have to be submitted multiple times before they get noticed and "stick" and generate interesting discussions. It&…

Your takes are hotter than a launch pad with all 33 raptors firing!

This does not match my experience at all. I use Fable as an orchestrator, and describe the end goal I want to achieve. It investigates the current state of affairs, and determines the smaller work uni…

Futurism has a pretty strong anti-AI bias. Both article titles and the articles themselves tend to be editorialized. On a scale of zero to Ed Zitron, they're somewhere around the middle. I don&#x…

>> This comes cross as unbelievable, and at worst a fantastical statement You can read some of the recent reporting here: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/busine…

Yeah, I'm not sure what the purpose of this article is. I don't have a lot of experience with Rust, but I think this is the type of task even Opus 4.5 could do.

>> I don't think people realize how much dumber the models get at larger contexts and how much more the token cost is. It does not match my experience that the model gets significantly dumb…

>> They succeeded in spite of their tech choices. It is rarely the case that technology choice is the make-or-break when it comes to whether a product is successful and achieves widespread adopt…
