tokenbender on new model hype: trust shippers not yappers, verdict in 10-15 days
tokenbender · x · 2026-09-06
Well-known AI researcher-blogger tokenbender pushed back on hype around newly released models, mocking that when you ask how good a model is, people show you a recently RLed Blender/CAD demo. His take: 'listen to shippers over yappers', and 'just wait 10-15 days, I have seen this movie play out many times'. He laments that AI discourse now exists mainly to farm impressions — a pointed commentary on the hype-vs-reality cycle of every major model launch.
