Anshu(@anshuc):Astra is impressive, but frontend designers are definitely not cooked. OpenAI hasn’t solved slop yet The visuals look cool but none of it makes any sense. The copy on the page is still pretty cringe. There’s a lot of detail, but it’d look better if it just removed excess instead of embellishing it. The model still doesn’t have the taste or judgement to recognize these things. It’s still like a junior coder who’s extremely good at writing shaders and React, but needs someone to actually think through the page structure and tell it what to do. A human empowered by Astra will do incredible things, though. Very excited to try it out

🚨 Major Scoop: OpenAI has just expanded internal testing of GPT Astra, codenamed "mozaik-alpha-fdm", signifying release might be near AND of course like previous times, we have the FIRST EVER public outputs of it for y'all😉 Both outputs are zero-shot on Max effort. Frontend *might* have finally been fixed, and the model gives a lot of attention to details
