GPT5 is the most underhyped and impressive model I've seen

 Every single person I hear talking about GPT5 talks about how it was a 'flop' or 'overhyped'. How it wasn't world changing, how it didnt meet expectations, how it's not impressive, etc. 

However, before it came out, I had cancelled my OpenAI subscription, I renewed it for trying GPT5 and now I don't think I'll be cancelling it anytime soon. I had used o3, o4-mini and gpt 4.5

Before gpt5, gpt 4.5 was the most impressive model for me, in terms of actually being something close to semi decent writer and actually having some useful information. 

By and large, the vast majority of models have been absolutely trash at research for me, for anything expect for very general or basic stuff in fields. Anything that required actual reasoning ability - the ability to actually put things together and form new ideas from them, they would just fail at. 

e.g. taking ideas from neuromorality and reinforcement learning and using that to put together a new reinforcement learning method that uses ideas from neuromorality taking ideas from how info in emotional situations seems to reach the amygdala first, then the prefrontal cortex, to make a similar small specialized model that gets info first and a larger model that gets info from it. 

Try to do this with Claude opus 4.1, gemini 2.5 pro, etc, and they have some facts in a list, essentially, but gpt5 thinking hard is the first model ever where i can see some actually new ideas being made.

not huge. but very very new.

Pain of Writing

 I should make more lists. I should write more. I should articulate what it is I'm doing, what it is I want, all things and more like this. I've known about this for a long time.  I just realized sometthing a few moments ago. That part of why I'm so hesitant to do it is fear. Fear that it wont be good enough. And this fear is in part due to experiences with my father.  My father has done a lot of admirable things. What I'm going to talk about isn't one of them.  He would constantly shout at me about handwriting. If I got a question right, while studying. It didn't matter if my writing wasn't good. If I wanted to write a story. Didn't matter how good it was unless the handwriting was good. If I wrote about anything at all. Didn't matter what the fuck the content was, if the handwriting wasn't good. This was some arbitrary bullshit to me even 15+ years ago and it's even more arbitrary and outdated nonsense now, when he's doing the same thin...

Truth

My father is now saying to my little sister that if you want to be a doctor, you can only sleep 2 hours a day. He doesn't care about the truth being sacred. He will lie to himself, to others, to anyone.  He has not seen the truth as sacred for as long as I can remember. He didn't hold it sacred when I was a child. Lying for any reason at all, unless he felt that there might be some consequences for it. He lied when he cheated on my mother for years. He lied when I caught him cheating on my mother. He lied when he called the police on me on false charges. He lied for silly things as well. He lied whenever he should have admitted to not knowing things. For insecurity, for ego, for convenience, for dominance, for power, for ease, for greed, for selfishness, for selflessness, for pain, for pleasure. He lied every day and still does.  I know I can become like him easily. I know I have been like him, for many years, from when I was a child to a teenager. And that I can do it again....
