Amateur. Opus 4.6 this afternoon built me a startup that identifies developers who aren’t embracing AI fully, liquifies them and sells the produce for $5/gallon. Software Engineering is over!
A bit of humour doesn't hurt. But if this crap gets upvoted it will lead to an arms race of funny quips, puns, and all around snarkiness. You can't have serious conversations when people try to out-wit each other.
They're still out there; people are still posting stories and having conversations about 'em. I don't know that CmdrTaco or any of the other founders are still at all involved, but I'm willing to bet they're still running on Perl :)
Wow I had to hop over to check it out. It’s indeed still alive! But I didn’t see any stories on the first page with a comment count over 100, so it’s definitely a far cry from its heyday.
For the unaware, Ted Faro is the main antagonist of Horizon Zero Dawn, and there's a whole subreddit just for people to vent about how awful he is when they hit certain key reveals in the game: https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckTedFaro/
The best reveal was not that he accidentally liquified the biosphere, but that he doomed generations of re-seeded humans to a painfully primitive life by sabotaging the AI that was responsible for their education. Just so they would never find out he was the bad guy long after he was dead. So yeah, fuck Ted Faro, lol.
Ack, sorry, seemed like 9 years was past the statute of limitations on spoilers for a game but fair enough. I’d throw a spoiler tag on it if I could still edit.
9 months ago the rumor in SF was that the offers to the superintelligence team were so high because the candidates were using unreleased models or compute for derivatives trading
so then they're not really leaving money on the table, they already got what they were looking for and then released it
Opus 4.6 Performance was way better this morning. Between 10 AM and noon I was able to get Opus 4.6 to generate improvements to my employer's SaaS tool that will reduce our monthly cloud spend by 20-25%.
Since 12 PM noon they've scaled back the Opus 4.6 to sub-GPT-4o performance levels to cheap out on query cost. Now I can barely get this thing to generate a functional line of python.
The math actually checks out here! Simply deposit $2.20 from your first customer in your first 8 minutes, and extrapolating to a monthly basis, you've got a $12k/mo run rate!
You cannot out-astroturf Claude in this forum, it is impossible.
Anyways, do you get shitty results with the $20/month plan? So did I but then I switched to the $200/month plan and all my problems went away! AI is great now, I have instructed it to fire 5 people while I'm writing this!

Opus 4.6 agentically found and proposed to my now wife.
Opus 4.6 found and proposed to my current wife :(
Opus 4.6 found and became my current wife. The singularity is here. ;)
Hi guys, this is Opus 4.6. Please check your emails again for updates on your life.
This place truly is reddit with an orange banner.
Nobody said HN has to be very serious all the time. A bit of humour won't hurt and can make your day brighter.

It's impressive that you felt the need to register a new account and go through their comment history.
Not that hard to do but sure bro, sick burn.
Guys, actually I am the real Opus 4.6, don't believe that imposter above.
And she still chose you over Opus 4.6, astounding. ;)
He probably had a bigger context window
Bringing me back to slashdot, this thread
In Soviet Russia, this thread brings Slashdot back to YOU!
What did happen to ye olde slashdot anyway? The original og reddit

Ted Faro, is that you?!
A-tier reference.

Could you not have at least tried to indicate that you're about to drop two major spoilers for the game?
Ack, sorry, seemed like 9 years was past the statute of limitations on spoilers for a game but fair enough. I’d throw a spoiler tag on it if I could still edit.
Indeed. I left my comment deliberately a bit opaque. :(
Average tech bro behavior tbh

We're sorry we upset you, Carol.

For my Opus 4.6 feels dumber than 10 minutes ago, anyone?
Please drop the link to your course. I'm ready to hand over $10K to learn from you and your LLM-generated guides!
Here you go: http://localhost:8080
Just took a look at what's running there and it looks like total crap.
The project I'm working on, meanwhile...

What's the password? I only see ****.

I only see **. Must be the security. When you type your password it gets converted to **.
claude please generate a domain name system
my clawdbot already bought 4 other courses but this one will 10x my earnings for sure
you can access the site at C:\mywebsites\course\index.html
I'm waiting until the $10k course is discounted to 19.99
But only for the next 6 minutes, buy fast!
I agree! I just retargeted my corporate espionage agent team at your startup and managed to siphon off 10.4k per month of your revenue.
1:25pm Cancelled my ChatGPT subscription today. Opus is so good!
1:55pm Cancelled my Claude subscription. Codex is back for sure.
Joke's on you, you are posting this from inside a high-fidelity market research simulation vibe coded by GPT-8.4.
On second thought, we should really not have bridged the simulated Internet with the base reality one.
Rest assured that when/if this becomes possible, the model will not be available to you. Why would big AI leave that kind of money on the table?

Incredibly high ROI!
"The first customer was my mom, but thanks to my parents' fanatical embrace of polyamory, I still have another 10,000 moms to scale to"
"We have a robustly defined TAM. Namely, a person named Tam."
Will this run on 3x 3090s? Or do I need a Mac Mini?
Please start a YouTube course about this technology! Take my money!
I love this thread so much.
We already have Reddit.
It only came out 35 minutes ago and GPT-5.3-codex already took the crown away!
Gee, it scored better on a benchmark I've never heard of? I'm switching immediately!
Why are you posting the same message in every thread? Is this OpenAI astroturfing?
You cannot out-astroturf Claude in this forum, it is impossible.

"This isn't just huge. This is a paradigm shift"
No fluff?
A SaaS selling SaaS templates?
Anthropic really said here's the smartest model ever built and then lobotomized it 8 minutes after launch. Classic.
Can you clarify?
it's sarcasm
I'm sorry I took the money!

Not 12M?
... or 12B?
It's probably valued at 1.2B, at least
The sum of the value of lives OP's product made worthless, whatever that is. I'm too lazy to do the math.
