Key takeaways
- I haven’t really been back here for a while, and it’s worse than you can believe.

I’ve been in Berkeley for the last 2 weeks. I haven’t really been back here for a while, and it’s worse than you can believe. This is a cult of atheistic hedonists needing AI doom to be true to justify their life choices. Or acceleration. Or something. They need to make impact.

Read the GLM-5.2 blog post. This is how I imagined AI progress being, and this is frontier stuff, the model is on par with Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5. It’s a pleasant technical look into how things are slowly improving. This is what comma blog posts look like also. This is the world of technology I love.
