Is the code/prompts used open source? if not how can we say it's ligit

If the code and prompts are not open source how can we trust anything yall say?

The fact that no one talking about how it compares against Veo tells me everything I need to know. This page is now filled with some bots!

Looks promising, would this be possible to create a whole new language?

I was initially excited about GPT5, and I quickly switched to it but still can't use it for some reason it is clearly smart but not useful.

I'm getting the same thing I got with Codex when I tried right now. I give it a command, and it keeps reading files and thinking for 5 min+, this never happens with Claude Code.

Oh I tried codex for the first time last night with gpt-5. It looked stuck twice when it used the grep tool (after working successfully for minute or so), and both times I canceled after seeing no output for more than a minute.

It would have eventually finished?

I don't know, but since Claude Code didn't do that, I kind of lost patience. Maybe my bad.

I tried GPT-5 in Cursor today and got the same thing - it started reading and thinking and thinking, and it was quite repetitive. It was unexpected. I wrote it off as "maybe the Cursor GPT-5 prompts are not refined yet".

Yeah, I honestly don't believe the hype for GPT-5 at all, although I do believe LLMs are awesome, but it feels still to me like they are chasing, e.g. Anthropic, but something is fundamentally off. I may be wrong, maybe there are some cases where it will perform much better. But it just doesn't seem as solid to me as Claude still.

Many of Sterling’s insights—public domain erosion, corporate control of infrastructure, the impact of digital rights laws—are still playing out today.

Great read!
