Really wish they would spend a cycle or two on the automation/economy side. I know they've been really into combat lately. It's one of those games where the scale is exhilarating and then you spend hours cursing at the screen as the NPCs completely ignore all of the logistical rules you painstakingly setup.

Kimi Work 2 days ago

Has anyone cancelled their $200 ChatGPT subscription and started using Kimi? It'd be an interesting metric to measure. I for one have no motivation to use this model. Nonetheless, I'm always happy to see more competition.

I use moonlight/apollo.

1. Connect my Dualsense controller to my macbook

2. Open moonlight on my macbook

3. Connect to my gaming desktop in full screen mode

3. Launch my AAA game on Steam

4. Profit

Over Wifi 7 I get basically no discernable lag, which was crazy to me the first time I tried it. I also have a Minisforum attached to my large screen TV and the process is identical except I push a different combo on the Dualsense controller to connect to the Minisforum. Because apollo saves settings, I can pretty seamlessly switch between the two with basically no issues.

Even in this very thread the feedback on Kimi's actual efficacy is debated. I personally feel its worse than both Fable and 5.6 Sol, but I feel like the conversation isn't really about whether its good or not, but a backlash against the U.S governments foray into regulation. So I think people _want_ it to be superior out of anger/frustration with the current situation.

Wow, my entire feelings on this series of events summed up in a single game. Extra rich its vibe coded. We need more of this.

Do we have reliable data that goes back a lot farther? I'm wondering what the graph would look like as extrapolated between ices ages / other large climate changes across Earth's history.

It was an observation, based on my own experiences, of how more and more people are dismissive based on their existing preferences. A refrain if you might. I have no idea what you believe or what your motivations are and I wasn't trying to guess.

But I digress. I'm the only one who has even attempted to provide any sort of data in this thread - which is typical of HN. Cast doubt and force the other party to continue to provide information until some unstated goal is satiated (and I often find the goal tends to move as well). It's a brilliant tactic, basically no effort and you can continue to feel confident in your assumptions. I miss when conversations were reciprocal.

What if the farmer built/tested/refined the pathing/automation around the tractor? I mean it probably doesn't ship knowing the most optimal way to plow the layout of his fields. There's still some knowledge/skill required in optimizing that portion.

The argument does eventually degrade over time, though. For example, in the future the farmer uses satellite imagery fed into an advanced AI to build the most optimal route. So yeah, eventually the farmer loses all utility I suppose beyond being a land owner (until AI owns land lol).

Well, that presents a problem when the news organizations that did investigate are just outright dismissed. The Times did a FOI request and are the ones who published the 12,183 figure which ultimately demonstrated the massive increase year over year.

The fact that there were signed petitions, two reports from supposably untrustworthy news organizations (that I could fine, there's probably more), and that it's been discussed at the national level multiple times, will either convince someone that it's 100% fabricated if they lean one way politically or that it's true if they lean the other way.

More and more I've found that it has nothing to do with data anymore. People will just ignore whatever isn't suitable to their beliefs.

No, was just pushing back at the idea that the social media arrest isn't a concern to 99% of the British population. Typically 190,000 is considered the floor because there's a wide margin of people either too busy or too scared to sign their signature. Same is true in the U.S.

But sure, obviously we're never going to agree here. I've provided my logic/evidence and you're not convinced. Fair enough. I'm content to let others review the same evidence and form their own opinions on the matter.

Well, sure, I tend to ground my feelings about matters in statistics. If others don't do that, then it makes total sense they might feel worried about it. But I mean there's entire groups of people saying, quite loudly, that they don't like the social media arrests and how they feel draconian. You don't really need to "guess" about a sentiment. Clearly enough people are concerned that it's being talked about at a national level. I'm not aware of anything similar, or to the same degree, happening in the US.

Also, see E-petition 728715, which had 190,000 signatures from concerned citizens. Your 99% statistic is clearly going against the data.

To an extent, but I still feel consciously addicted at this point, and Anthropic's antics seem to suggest that I've reached the unconscious level where I'll do anything to keep access, including their insane street API price.

Then we agree that it's not unreasonable for me to feel confident I am unlikely to get arrested in the US over a social media post than in the UK, which is the whole point I was making all along.

That's called "luck".

I think it's actually called statistics. In 2026, it would seem I'm statistically less likely to get arrested for a social media post in the US than the UK. I mean it's not like the reason is hidden. Arrests typically require crossing into narrow unprotected categories under the First Amendment: true threats (Virginia v. Black standard), incitement to imminent lawless action (Brandenburg v. Ohio), or specific crimes like credible harassment, cyberstalking, or extortion.

It's quite a bit different than the UK's hate speech laws and the comparative result makes complete sense.

100. I'm so tired of being treated like a drug addict by them. I'm currently sitting on _four_ "reset vouchers" from OpenAI so I get basically all week to play with 5.6 Sol to my hearts content. The amount of positive sentiment that brings to me should really be a concern for Anthropic who is increasingly alienating me away with their shit strategies.

There's idiots on all sides. Plenty of sane people who are too busy working and raising families instead of loudly participating in politics that still hold a balanced view on the subject.

I can hold the situation you cited as an example that should be shown in training in how not to handle a situation like that while at the same time vehemently pushing back against the bureaucrats trying to disarm me. It's why I've always identified as an independent my whole life.

One of the videos on the announcement page shows someone making coffee and it _appears_ that the agent counts 30 seconds in real-time. Curious to know how they made it do that without tool support.

Literally me. Everyone is different, and that's fine. But I don't have the privilege of living in an area where I can talk to people about the things I am thinking through. It's very rural. Having a _utility_ that can act as a sounding board while I spew out my thoughts on a walk is a really meaningful improvement to my current situation.

I left Google four years ago after being there for a decade. It was really obvious at the time of my leaving that the moral compass was _long_ gone and that no one internally could even define what "evil" was anymore (I'm sure the prevailing post-modernist view that seem to come from the top didn't help). But it was when I started spending time in mandatory compliance meetings where moral preaching was becoming the norm that I really lost all love for the company. My mental health has jumped leaps and bounds since leaving that place.
