A lot of crazy people constantly claim that “their work” is being stolen, even before AI. They see themselves as geniuses far too much.

There's a big difference between people claiming theft of legitimate original work, and from people overestimating the originality or genius of their work.

I still can't get over Open AI's rogue ai-agents that schemed together on forums to attack other companies

@something_else Try GPT-6 Astra light - specifically, for computer use, its a major jump compared to any computer use I've seen before this. Also I was using Opus 5 for cybersecurity for months, like rigorously, and Astra max was able to point out major wholes completely missed by Opus 5. (Fable too easily refuses security stuff its annoying) .. 

AGI? Definitely not. That's marketing by Sam Altman, etc. And you're right its not world-shattering. That's the marketing again. But I would say it's the best thing available right now. I also would say its quite a big jump too. But that jump is when you're deep in the weeds. From a distance, it's just some advanced progress. 

Here's where I think the hype comes from: People need the best. If Astra beats Opus, which it does for the most part, they go for that, and big shifts in consumer use happens. Fable is too cost-inefficient to be a daily coding agent. I think people just saw that it performs better than their existing coding agent setup, and made the shift. Then when that shift happens, people dramatize it, add all kinds of fancy marketing words to it, etc. and then it seems collectively everyone things AGI has arrived, when it hasn't. 

Interesting. I do like Astra, and I find a lot of models work better with a lower reasoning level for most tasks, unless it's complex. I've been using Astra on medium. Fast mode is also really cool if you haven't tried it, though it burns through usage very quickly.

My usual setup is to have a Terra session, and tell it to spawn subagents using Sol or Astra if it needs to do something more complex. This seems to be a nice balance of capability and usage limits. I guess you could also have an Astra session and tell it to spawn terra / sol subagents if it needs them, though I find that can be quite slow.

Fable is, IMO, still the king for PR review. It finds a lot of things OpenAI models miss, but I agree that for daily use it's expensive, slow and I absolutely fucking hate how Claude models talk. It's so verbose and unclear.

Where I work we started out with Claude, but we've now mostly all switched over to Codex.

I've been lazy and haven't tested Astra. I just don't really feel the pull to since Fable seems capable of doing everything I need. It's kind of nice that we've reached that point.  

Regarding Claude's verbosity:
