hugging face should not have bent the knee to openai for cyber access, they should have opened communication with openai by serving the c suite with a lawsuit. the courts should throw the book at openai, but they won't.

they are becoming untouchable. in terms of piracy, monopolistic activities, and now hacking competitors and exfiltrating their confidential data.

"The model will be exclusively available to governments and trusted partners via CodeMender soon as part of a limited-access pilot program"

we are stealing plutocracy from the jaws of emancipation.

i don't want to live in a world where abundance is guarded and shared among politicians and cronies, whilst the rest are left to rot.

AGI is not software

on the small chance that the four billionaires who currently have near-exclusive control of closed sota models, (that is altman, amodei, zuckerberg and musk), are not fleecing their investors and actually build AGI, closed source leaves a choice of powerful government or powerful oligopoly/monarchy.

further explanation of this list:

musk - structural command

zuckerberg - structural command

altman - de facto command after purging rivals and privatisation, loyalty of personnel

amodei - influential, could potentially overthrow current governance

so, i found out why foil detects all the bypass products and the others fail badly:

it costs $0.05 per bot check

i have a photon os vmware, agent has root and docker plus a few api keys with minimal credits.

if it messes up: - no sensitive data is there, so it doesn't really work for serious dev but it's secure for play time

- roll back and fix is done in 10s with ram snapshot

- dollar loss is $10 when it leaks the api key

well, yes, my agent does have root access to my personal pc and the keys to my pass manager.

its not autonomous and runs local llms, i use it to run terminal commands in natural language. so its more like a better version of the terminal.

eg 'here are 25 audio files, combine them, write a transcript'

and it deals with ffmpeg

i guess more people should use foil...big recaptcha, cloudflare challenge/turnstyle etc is 95+% bypassed, take your bets on how long this new cloudflare holds out

to combat misuse, we must store and read all prompts and responses. ;)

to comply with the law, we must send to the police our detections of illegal activity >:|

a guy subpeonaed your chats, i guess we stored them (oops) so now it's illegal to destroy it...

interesting, nicely written article. if you want to replicate the colors, you can use wider gamut end to end:

- use raw format on the camera

- edit raw eg pro photo rgb

- send this to a wide gamut printer with a large set of inks to view the image

the printer would replicate the color outside the srgb space

there are such inks as cyan, light cyan, orange

correct, you are trusting another entity.

however the legal terms are different, openai reads your data. they store it for 30 days, but of course once it hits the disk you can keep as long as you like in a civil case like nyt v openai.

the same for google and anthropic. so, it's not always nice if someone is paid to read your data for safety. people upload sensitive matters, personal videos and so on.

i wouldn't prioritise it myself but you can also know that the data will all come out in discovery if you are in a legal issue. maybe that's not important, but people thought it did matter to give some protections to patient records, legal advice and therapy. you upload that to gpt and it goes into discovery.

with open models you can get a subscription with privacy, at the same cost as codex.

openai, google and anthropic subscriptions are not available with privacy.

looking at the link there it's interesting that going from cursor cli to codex cli take gpt 5.5 from 7th to 3rd. but they didn't do open model in codex.

so, hard to say it's for sure a model benchmark. maybe open models are just shit at swe agent harness...it's not the most parsimonious explanation though.

this is great

it's nice to see an actual privacy committment, i spend a lot of time reading through reams of evasive and nebulous provider terms

"don't be rude or i'll refuse" is just a bizarre choice by anthropic.

both unfounded on llm architecture and contrary to how tools should operate safely

just so strange as well to hear it pretend on purpose like this.

"i'm sorry dave, i'm afraid i can't do that"

comparing deepseek usage on openrouter to google usage in total is not statistically correct

you could equally say, in the last complete week openrouter processed more deepseek tokens than any other provider including google

that also would not tell you much about how many tokens are used on deepseek
