OpenAI's o3-pro is much smarter than o3 and amazing at using tools, but the model requires extensive context to perform optimally and may overthink without it (Ben Hylak/Latent.Space)

God is hungry for Context: First thoughts on o3 pro
OpenAI dropped o3 pricing 80% today and launched o3-pro. Ben Hylak of Raindrop.ai returns with the world's first early review.

Pretty amazing. And yet, the majority of Americans won’t see this story because the truth is paywalled but the bullshit is free. Which feels more and more to me like one of the world’s most important problems.

This is the best #HomeAssistant component I've seen in a long time. Genuinely amazing. Found on r/homeassistant.

Vendor of AI tech comes to Australia and promises to grow our GDP by 4% if only we give tax incentives to increase use of AI tech. Stenographers in the press report the amazing "windfall" but thankfully we have Crikey to call BS:

OpenAI’s ‘productivity’ garbage is an age-old scam that’s long crippled Australia
Touting the economic benefits of AI is straight from business lobbyists' playbook, one used over and over again.

Why do people have such dramatically different experiences using AI?
For some people, it seems, AI is an amazing machine which - while fallible - represents an incredible leap forward in productivity. For other people, it seems, AI is wrong more often than right and - although occasionally useful - requires constant supervision. Who is right? I recently pointed out a few common problems with LLMs. I was discussing this with someone relatively senior who works…

We need to stop reasoning about AI like this. Every time it can do something amazing it's "well that's just because its training data is so big, everything is bound to be in there."
Then, when it shows some limitation, it's "Well that's because it must not be in the training data".
It can show a shark jumping out of the moon through a computer screen. It can generate stuff that's not in the data. Also, hands counting down are obviously in t…

Today I deployed an #AI backed code review system as part of the @… #monorepo PR review checks.
Is it going to replace coders? No. Is it throwing up amazing ins…

What annoys me the most about the current state of AI
I've dabbled with ML ever since the very first stanford ML class. That was almost 15 years ago.
On a technical level, it is mind meltingly insane. Just the fact that the stuff that was released in just half a decade works *at all* the way it does is just... amazing.
There is genunely amazing tech in there. Especially in pattern recognition and processing.
But then it gets tarnished by *gestures around broadly*
