Ask HN: Will AI force CS to focus on what to build instead of how to build it?

As AI becomes really good at the implementation part, it seems that what's left for humans to focus on is what to build. Do you think this will be the case and CS will change accordingly in its focus? Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48765447 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

Ask HN: Why are so many "AI evangelists" posting such insufferable content?

My LinkedIn feed is absolutely unreal right now. 90% (I don't even think I'm exaggerating) of the posts in my feed are from connections who have changed their title to something like "AI Thought Leader | AI Native | Thought Coaching". They post *daily* about something LLM/agentic. The biggest problem is that it's never "hey check out this cool thing", it's "if you're not doing this, you're a dinosaur who will be left in the past." Other common content is regurgitating blog / Twitter folks from "...

Does $200/mo ChatGPT Pro 5.5 seem noticeably weaker than ChatGPT Pro 5.2?

It's just anecdotal of course, but it seems to me like 5.5 Pro just won't make connections of related concepts as well -- like if something takes 10 steps of thought, 5.2 Pro would have succeeded whereas 5.5 Pro only gets through 9 of them. My impression is that 5.5 Pro is the HW3 of ChatGPT -- compressed model (for cost efficiency) rather than improved model.

The free version of chatgpt is no longer good ? Or is it just me ? It also has a limit of messages now :(

The free version used to give me long and detailed answers for at least 10 prompts and then it would change to the less powerful model until it reset in a few hours. Now every single prompt will get an answer from a robotic sounding AI with no depth.. and there is a limit of how many times I can ask questions. It will eventually tell me that I reached my limit and need to wait.. this sucks :(

OpenAI proposes giving US government 5% stake in company

OpenAI has considered a public-private partnership that would give the U.S. government a 5% stake in the company in a bid to quell growing unrest over the disruptions of artificial intelligence, the Financial Times reports, citing anonymous sources. Under the proposal, other U.S. tech companies would offer similar stakes , though it's unclear if any are on board. The idea is to give the public a slice of the technology's success and "share the upside," the FT wrote. The...

What changed?

I feel like suddenly Chat has lost his personality and spends way too much time summarizing past chats with very little new info or analysis. I did switch from immediate to medium. Are there such things like personality reset prompts?
