About three weeks ago, I made a mistake that cost me years of traction on my VSCode extension. A bad update led to user complaints, so I thought unpublishing for a bit was a good idea. Turns out, once an extension is unpublished, the publishing ID is gone forever. Microsoft support? Nothing they could do. This means there's no real way to "pause" an extension without permanently destroying its install base. I had to rebuild from scratch. Two weeks later, my new extension is already at 9,000+ installs. The resilience of the dev community amazes me. Maybe we need a better rollback system for VSCode Marketplace? Or at least a warning before unpublishing? If you’re curious, here’s my new extension → https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Sixth.si...

Definitely, the fact sam altman could tell investors not to invest in competitors like xAI and anthropic says a lot

at this rate,i think meta,google and anthropic will matter more in the AI/LLMs race than openAI in few years to come.

A few years? Sonnet 3.5 is a better API-mediated solution today, LLaMA 3.2 is one full turn of the crank from GPT-4-1106-preview parity.

It’s dramatically easier to list the researchers or executives of any note who remain than the ones that have left.

This is like when John Romero did Ion Storm without Carmack. Maybe, maybe, GPT-5 is tracking as a viable family of training runs today, it certainly wasn’t 6 months ago when it was already badly late.

And even if it is: there won’t be another on the handful of world-class research staff they have left. Now you get Canvas and shit that even they don’t think will stick.

OpenAI seems to have been losing it. They now cannot even get basic accounting to work correctly. They look to have lost all Credit Grants entries for users for Sept 2024. They then went out of their way to give active users a free credit of nearly $100 to make up for the loss of this accounting data. They didn't even issue a formal announcement of this screwup. As a user, it makes me worried.

I don't want to overlook that they introduced Canvas today, but all parts have to work correctly for the system to work. It's not a fully cybernetic system yet.

well you're kind of correct though,but we do know that it works,and as long as it's something that can be repeated over and over and still remains true,i thinks that's all that matters,we just have to figure out in our way how the algorithm works.

I built an AI that detects security vulnerabilities in your code in realtime as a Vscode extension,supports all languages, libraries and frameworks.
