OpenAI seems to be dumping a LOT of money into marketing on social media at least.

To be fair, Mythos is probably one of the most significant marketing pushes in the industry in both impact and investment.

I am sure there is an element of reality in it's capabilities, but there's also a significant amount of "We don't have the compute to handle this at scale", and "look look, we have the best model. It's so good that you can't even compare it to other models. That is how good we are."

I’m noticing a real disconnect in the user base about this

The Claude maximalists that can never see any wrong in anything and the users that care about actual capability

These guys are going to be in for a rude awakening when the Chinese are steamrolling us with data centers you can see from space and better models, Amodei will tell you that himself

I’ve been using Claude and Codex extremely heavily and use adblockers so I don’t see them

I think they mean the paid shills

		Whenever I see a user base turn against actual users or imply censorship or discredit actual experiences it always ends in a death spiral: Deny -> Product stops improving -> Censor -> Die Adapt or die
