Riley Goodside is an AI practitioner who posts model experiments and demos on X. His recent coverage centers on Claude Opus 5.5: prompts producing 1,000 matplotlib plots, an animated UMAP explainer, short animated videos and a found-footage-style clip, plus comments on prompt engineering, AGI progress and Google's Project Suncatcher satellite TPU.
One day I’ll bore my grandkids with the trivia fact that the cloud was called “the cloud” years before it was actually above us. [Quoting @sundarpichai]: A ‘hello world’ milestone for Project Suncatcher 🚀 After launching our prototype satellite a few weeks a…
Prompt engineering is dead. Prompt however you want. Have fun. [Quoting @HackingLZ]: You’re all prompting wrong
He vibe-coded the bug. Genius. [Quoting @OpenAINewsroom]: We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee ha…

Claude Opus 5.5 writes and animates a 5 minute explanation of UMAP for an undergraduate ML audience All of this—the concepts for the visuals, the narration, etc.—is from Claude. Prompted in Claude Code on my phone.
It scares me sometimes how little work is left from here to AGI. All roadblocks are so dumb and fixable—symptoms of AI’s recent arrival. it’s all so clearly just a matter of time

the thing you need to emotionally prepare for is you could post this anew every year from now on and it would be right every time [Quoting @tszzl]: if you think AI chatter has reached an annoying level right now you're in for something else. it's going to be…
For years my stance on pausing AI has been, “Pause and do what?” Whatever alignment work you’d do given a pause, your finite effort is better spent doing that work faster vs. advocating for more time. Lab calls to pace the frontier have given me some doubt. A…
Who is this for? Why is this happening? [Quoting @realDonaldTrump]: “Supreme Intelligence,” probably because of its relationship to the Supreme Court, is losing badly to both “Superior” and “Extreme Intelligence.” Therefore, we are going to take “Supreme Inte…
