“… actually reasonably good at avoiding prompt injection as well. I think one of the reasons they haven't been complete disasters from OpenClaw is that Claude Opus will mostly spot if it's being told to do something unsafe and not do it. It just won't 100% of the time spot that. So I think the biggest opportunity in AI right now, if you can build safe OpenClaw, if you can deploy a version of OpenClaw that does all the things people love about it and won't randomly link people's data and delete their files that's a huge opportunity i don't know how to do it like if i knew how to do that i'd be …”
“… Like if you'd built OpenClaw a year ago, it would have kind of sucked. But like I said, first lines of code November 25, by the end of December, when it's getting usable, it catches the wave of these new models that can reliably cool tools and are actually reasonably good at avoiding prompt injection as well.

OpenClaw skyrocketed from its first line of code to a Super Bowl ad in just three months, despite serious security flaws. This phenomenon highlights a massive demand for personal digital assistants, even when users overlook safety concerns. The challenge now is to create a secure version that retains all the appealing features without compromising user data.
“But also Claude Opus 4.7 and Sonnet 4.8. So we're going to get versioned upgrades of the existing models that we're having already. So my one question is, when are these models going to get released? Because I need to get my hands on them. Number two, will it cause my entire laptop to get hacked? I don't know. So there's like a reputation risk going on right now, as well as I want to use the actual thing. Well, you also mentioned the security part of this. And …”

I've had a lot of success in doing consulting for enterprises or in startups that I've been a part of, fine-tuning very small, say, open-source LLAMA models that just have a few billion parameters that can become very, very good at a narrow task when they have a high-quality training data.

In a recent game jam, a developer leveraged various AI tools to create a fun and balanced game without writing a single line of code. By comparing models like Opus and GLM-5, he discovered that while some AIs excelled in creativity and design, others fell short in execution, highlighting the evolving capabilities of AI in game development. This experience underscores the potential for AI to transform how games are created, making it accessible for those without coding skills.

Distillation, while controversial, is a necessary process for creating efficient AI models, and the practice of using it may not be illegal despite accusations against Chinese labs.
Anthropic's accusations of distillation attacks by Chinese labs are hypocritical given their own history of similar practices, and their legal claims are ineffective against entities outside US jurisdiction.

What did, you know, Opus come up with, and then even compare that directly to what did Codex come up with, which I can refresh and show you here. I can do a side by side. And you can see with your eyes, you can read all the words and really make a decision about where these models do well. But that is not enough to assess whether or not these are good models, bad models. I like them. I'm going to use them or I'm not going to use them. And as I go into the next workflow, where I found both models to be super useful, I'm going to admit something that is a little scary and maybe impressive, which is I asked Devon today, how much code have I merged into GitHub in the last five days? I need to fix my Devon workspace. But if you go into it, in the last five days, I have merged 44 PRs containing 98 commits across 1,088 …”

In a recent workflow, I merged 44 pull requests and added nearly 93,000 lines of code, thanks to the collaboration of Opus 4.6 and Codex 5.3. While Opus excels at building components, Codex shines in code review, identifying critical issues before deployment. This synergy ultimately led to a successful production push, showcasing the strengths of both models.
“I'll tell it. No, Claude. Bad, Claude. No, you do not want to use an LCNG. Those are really bad. They produce an immediately predictable and repetitive set of numbers. So, yeah, it's not good. Actually, the Intel instructions now have a random number function in them. So it could use a single instruction. Oh, well, that's no fun. No. Okay. So when I was thinking Leo about who I am though I would never think to compare myself to the truly brilliant computer scientist …”

So when I was thinking Leo about who I am though I would never think to compare myself to the truly brilliant computer scientist Donald Knuth My thinking about the use of computing machinery at the bare metal detail level is very much aligned with Knuth own Donald's epic authoring of the multi-volume art of computer programming, which I have behind me somewhere. Yeah, you can see it. It's not there where I got. Maybe it got covered up by my PDP eights. I have mine here. It's …”

Renowned computer scientist Donald Knuth revealed that a problem he had been working on was recently solved by Claude, an AI model. This revelation not only made Knuth reconsider generative AI but also highlighted a major advancement in automatic deduction and creative problem-solving. His excitement about this breakthrough showcases the evolving relationship between human intellect and artificial intelligence.
“… a world in which AI is the most powerful tool in the world. And I think coming off the back of the week that we had last week with GPT 5.3 codex and Opus 4.6, it does feel like we're in a time in which things are moving faster than I would like them to or that I'm comfortable with. And to the point where I personally am starting to feel overwhelmed by the progress that we're making and how big of an impact it is, and how blissfully unaware the rest of the world is. I think he starts this article by saying that he frequently just doesn't tell people explicitly how serious this is. And when he …”
“… the thing more. What's your take? Yeah, it's really well written. And even if I think it could be a bit hyperbolic at times, it's worth the read. We'll link it in the description of this episode for anyone who's interested. But it basically outlines a world in which AI is the most powerful tool in the world.

I think he starts this article by saying that he frequently just doesn't tell people explicitly how serious this is. And when he walks through the world, he talks to normal people about AI, he doesn't get them concerned. He just says, yeah, well, it's probably a big deal, but it's not going to be the biggest thing in the world. And he's like, no, actually, that's wrong. This is going to affect everybody. You must become a user. You must train the muscle to learn AI, if you want …”

A viral article claims AI is on track to replace many jobs, including finance, law, and coding, within the next few years. The author argues that those who fail to adapt and learn AI tools will be left behind as the divide between users and non-users widens. This alarming trend is highlighted by recent layoffs in AI safety roles, raising concerns about the unchecked development of AI technologies.
