Perhaps to moneymen the difference between “ChatGPT” and the technology behind it isnt’t obvious. I’ve been very surprised at how few otherwise smart people are completely in the dark about how capable current models are.

As soon as manufacturing starts building this stuff more, it will commoditize. The hardware prices won’t be terribly larger than the original. We’ll have a “Bambu labs” style company to make the AI OS, whatever that is.

If this kind of thing holds true for humans we now may understand synesthesia, perhaps we find ourselves with a large enough study pool to map out clever tricks to influence each other.

A million times this. There is “private” as a corporate-legality licensing perspective. There is “private” as a human concept. The two are seemingly opposite, yet as all the money is focused on the former there’s no airtime left for the latter.

Right. But at their core they are math formulas devised by a process designed to produce mimicry of task completion. The math formulas themselves aren’t fully effable. We’re sure studying the heck out of how they complete the tasks! Bet they converged on how we do it, since it’s our language, but who knows.

They’re avoiding editorializing. PBS news has the same dry “facts only” flavor. Legitimate reporting takes the high road; corpo-media too often take the low road. Unfortunately human information consumers tend to gravitate toward sources of maximum opinion.

My neighbor blares Fox in their kitchen every day. I view them with the same flavor of suspicion as someone who posts there.

Personally as a teenager I’ve been met with a group of cops all pointing guns at me when I was just walking around at night with no weapons whatsoever. They got a call from a paranoid homeowner nearby. They’re trained to shoot first and ask questions later.

That’s interesting about Express. Literally every time it (opus 46 one shots) chooses that, in my experience. But I always specify javascript.

Sweet best back-and-forth All-sides on this topic. It’s very complex. On what rules ought we regulate, if any? Probably some somehow.

I was trying to get Claude code to work with llama.cpp but could never figure out anything functional. It always insisted on a phone home login for first time setup. In cline I’m getting better results with glm-4.7-flash than with qwen3-coder:30b
