That might also be caused by nobody using Mistral at the moment though

If somebody from OpenAI or Anthropic is reading this, one way to make the products stickier would certainly be to not make the desktop apps a complete shitshow.

Maybe they could for example point their amazing models to their GitHub issues, and use their power to actually fix the bugs and myriad of papercuts before solving cancer and world war/peace/whathever the stockholders believe they want.

Cynical take is the correct one, and no, GPT 8 has zero reasons to spare us.

Is it possible that we are now dealing with a human that has a complete understanding of whole mathematics while being unable have unique novel thoughts outside of convex hull of training data and their transitive expansions?

That’s what we are doing with nature, seas (look up strip mining there, it’s a horrible practice), and now the industrial harvestors are strip mining problem spaces. How do we like our own medicine?

It would, I am all for it (need to identify AI content; need to be able to filter out the AI content), but at this point the overlap between humans and AIs is too large to be able to do this distinction, and as a result, all public platforms are doomed to be overrun by bots.

That was satire. Russian regimes have a long history of deception, so there is little reason to believe their claims.

The word is Egregore. An entity comprising of other entities, yet having goals of its own, independent of the goals of its components.

Corporations are egregores, governments are egregores - and our track record of aligning them to our interests is pretty poor, so why should AIs, another and smarter egregore, be easier to tame?

Of course, Russias pure animals have no stinky diseases, and we can trust their officials every word they say. Also, Russia doesn’t have any gays, because that is a “western disease”.

Thank you! I just read it and can’t help but seeing the exact same story played out in Apple in China.

You can ask you favorite LLM to compare the parallels; I did and it was enlightening.

I all Bob would do would be writing Accidental Empires, and inspiring Simon Wardly to adapt his Commandos, Infantry and Police into Pioneers, Settlers and Town planners framework, it would still be enough to achieve immortality. Thank you, Bob!

Well Twitter and almost any other social network has a lot of AI players and it’s no fun at all …

Figma, now that’s a name I didn’t hear for a long time. I have memories of working in it for hours a day, it was some tool from the covid era, right?

Brett Victor’s Earth Primer, one of the most fantastic educational app for Earth. The team has long ago disbanded, so - let’s delete it without trace? Seriously?

It seems that I forgot I downgraded Claude to Pro, as I bought $100 Codex plan to test Sol 6, so that one is on me, whoops :grimace emoji:

Secret services love this one weird trick ...

I feel strongly that nerfing of Opus 5.5 is done via usage counting - the first week I got an amazing pile of work done and was raving about its performance/price ratio - basically I wasn't able to deplete its 5h allowance (on high) if I was writing and checking the assignment, it took 6 days of sustained effort to bring the usage close to zero.

This week I have done considerably less work, and 2 days in, 54 % of Max usage is gone.

I hate this bait and switch cycle, and seeing how OpenAI cut its limits (5x raise from 0.1x api price to 0.5x api price for their max plan, so new $500 plan gets less usage than previous $200 plan) I think this will get worse still.

I love it! The great 2026 benchmark is a native Turok (I vividly remember that 30fps low poly iguana looking as real as Jurassic Park in my childhood), Unreal and Q3A.

I love this Nathan Calvin quote that accompanied the second publicized attack:

> If you find two ants in your kitchen, the best estimate of the total number of ants in your kitchen is not two

"You're right, and it's the exact thing I flagged two turns ago and then did anyway." - Opus 5 xhigh, today.

About the time.

Excellent, maybe Anthropic can use it to fix Claude Code Desktop kicking me back to login every week or so, and forgetting whole state (opened windows = the only way of managing active working set) when I sign back in, if it's that good.

Seriously, both flagship GUI apps (OpenAI and Anthropic) are a full of glaring UX issues (for ChatGPT it's not naming their windows, so window switcher has 10 entries of "ChatGPT" and you can cycle them all to find the one you want).

Embrace, extend, extinguish, and old playbook.

A bit related - I tried if I can push Fable to write a Garmin map renderer that would be comparably fast (or faster) on Fenix 8 than the one they claim is possible on Fenix 9 only. I think I got very close, rendering detailed topographical vector map at over 15 fps on QEMU simulated single core simple CPU comparable to actual Fenix 8.

Damn, I might have accidentally clean room reimplemented Severance without ever seeing as much as trailer, expecting Ternus’ kill squad any minute.

Exactly! That’s why companies create a clone every time they hire someone, put a clone into vat, and upon person quitting, the person is disposed of and the clone is sent to his family to take upon his role, without leaking company’s internal knowledge.

The newly opened possibility to learn“how non-English cultures do X” is criminally underutilized.

This is what doctors do in Czech Republic - mandatory journey through hospital departments taking about 2.5 years.

3D model is almost like 2D diagram, only needlessly confusing and slop.

That's exactly how gun lobby and drivers try to hack the language.

"17 shot by gun" "car drove over a family"

No. In both cases there was a person killing people.

Developer: Wow, that's awesome, anatomy is now solved.

Doctors: I have trouble even starting to describe how not even wrong the slop generated organs are, and how dangerous would it be for someone to learn on this thing.
