Deleted mine months ago. Altman is one of the slimiest tech ceos out there, which is saying something.

I'm not interested in getting into some argument about who has "more knowledge in the subject matter". I'm genuinely curious: do you think Opus 4.6 hallucinates just as much as GPT-3.5?
Yes. I see it hallucinate method names for 3rd party libraries constantly.
It’s useful, but when users here say they’re vibe coding 98% of their work, I have to think they’re not working on anything complex.
Don't want to sound rude, but anytime anyone says this I assume they haven't tried using agentic coding tools and are still copy pasting coding questions into a web input box
I would be really curious to know what tools you've tried and are using where gemini feels better to use
Conversely, I have yet to see agentic coding tools produce anything I’d be willing to ship.
> my bet is it's almost identical to the BEV version but with an engine where the big beautiful frunk is now
Would be interesting how small and how cheap you can design a ~50kW genset to be (any smaller and you don't gain that highly coveted towing range). I don't think it's an easy task, you still need to integrate the crash compliant fuel tank, the emissions compliant exhaust system, water cooling for the engine, ect.
It's a pretty long BOM you're adding to an already expensive BEV, so you don't really have thousands of dollars of budget to add to the production cost.
If I had to bet; they'll put their 3.7L V6 in and run it on the miller cycle with a fixed drive to hit @130+kW or so.
The changes for cooling, etc. will be substantial, but the problem space is already well-known by the team, so the time to market probably won't be as long as we think.
Unless they come right back with a comparable implementation with a maverick/ranger type form factor, Ford is absolutely shot itself in the foot canceling the lightning. I’ve been Evie only for five years and have driven both the electric Silverado and the lightning. I bought the lightning. It’s fantastic. They are absolute idiots for discontinuing it.
Also bought a Lightning. I use it for plenty of truck related things that don't involve towing and it's great. I like to target shoot on family farm land, and it's awesome to toss my steel targets and equipment in the bed and offroad to the area I shoot on (there's an area pretty far in with a sharp elevation change that's created a large berm). Or going to lowes to get a ton of fertilizer/plants/gardening equipment for my spouse.
I also use it to commute, and it's even better at that (part of that is mine being the Platinum trim). Quiet, smooth, powerful, has Android Auto/CarPlay (unlike GM's products), etc.
They really are a fantastic vehicle for those who don't need to quickly tow heavy trailers 400 miles. Especially on the used market.
I think the issue was that Ford wasn't making much margin on them and they weren't moving sufficient volume to make up for that. (around 20K/yr avg)

Ah, Gary Marcus, the 10x ninja whose hand-crafted bespoke code singlehandedly keeps his employer in business.
That’s not what I’m suggesting at all.

Meanwhile, my cofounder is rewriting code we spent millions of salary on in the past by himself in a few weeks.
I myself am saving a small fortune on design and photography and getting better results while doing it.
If this is not all that well I can’t wait until we get to mediocre!
Sounds like an argument for better hiring practices and planning.
Producing a lot of code isn’t proof of anything.

I wholeheartedly agree. Shitty companies steal art and then put out shitty products that shitty people use to spam us with slop.
The same goes for code as well.
I’ve explored Claude code/antigravity/etc, found them mostly useless, tried a more interactive approach with copilot/local models/ tried less interactive “agents”/etc. it’s largely all slop.
My coworkers who claim they’re shipping at warp speed using generative AI are almost categorically our worst developers by a mile.
How does the Vision Pro not qualify as a "thing" Apple made?
Or the Apple Watch, AirPods, HomePod, iPad, etc.
They’ve made plenty of things. I liken them to the Lexus of consumer electronics; expensive for what they are, thoughtfully designed, and conservative in their approach to adopting new trends.

Gatekeeping, or self-promotion? You don't get investors/patents/promotions/tenure by making your knowledge or results sound simple and understandable.
Why not both? And that's a good point, there are a LOT of incentives to make things arbitrarily complex in a variety of fields.
