So it's a fan-fiction?

You are absolutely right!

This is true but I also find the opposite true: the model is highly dependent on the input/prompt, to the point that it can't think beyond it or about it.

Your solution is to fire CEOs, shareholders and only make employee-owned businesses? I mean I'm on board.

If.. the AI seeks political asylum in Tokyo?

Note that it says "start plan" without a price tag. The price tag for the other plan is the one on the page. I don't know what it is because I haven't set up an account to use it, I set up a custom provider in the app.

The app itself is interesting to me. I can see most of the agent trace (I can't see the tool definitions and the tool input args), I can set up skills and make the agent manage them and I can define sub-agents as well.

The UI itself is a bit weird, but I guess it's not thought to be a general purpose file editor.

When running the app, it actually tells you what the base usages are, but the name of the plans are different from the page. It reads:

Start plan: 5 Million tokens a day (GLM-5.2 3M, GLM-5 Turbo 2M)

For individuals: (+150% quota) $18.00USD+ For individual developers with a dedicated Coding Plan quota.

It's good that I don't have any reason to go to the US.

AI mass surveillance is another. The powerful are just ceasing opportunities to accumulate power and capital, seeing that right now it is not good enough for them.

While obviously requiring real-world ID verification will reduce privacy, is there really any actual privacy left on today's internet?

Privacy is not an on and off switch or an all or nothing. You have to defend the privacy you have and also fight to expand it as a human right.

What do you mean? My deepseek subscription got really cheap.

Can you think of many examples of a SaaS provider who regularly keeps old versions of a product around for customers to use?

Sure. Blender and Ubuntu offer long-lived old versions of their software that get regular fixes.

The CCP would never dream of giving the state's control to tech CEOs.

What does outcompete economically mean and why would it matter? Or do you mean society A dominates in some form society B? This has already happened in history and is the essence of capitalism. If you want to overcome this situation you need to replace capitalism globally.

Unfortunately the only language elites know is violence.

What do you mean? You just need to ban companies from doing 5 days work.

Expropriating value is not.

Their descendants

I'm sad to tell you, they're already looking for places on earth to buy land to build their nest after they decimate or help decimate humanity.

Let's not confuse things. One thing is lives lost at a war, another thing is lives lost at a genocide.

This isn’t a written by a human — it's a AI-accelerated piece.

In science there are ways to surface subjectivity (cannot be counted) into observable quantized phenomena. Take opinion polls for instance: "approval" of a political figure can mean many things and is subjective, but experts in the field make "approval" into a number through scientific methods. These methods are just an approximation and have many IFs, they're not perfect (and for presidential campaign analysis in particular they've been failing for reasons I won't clarify here), but they're useful nonetheless.

Another thing that get quantized is video preferences to maximize engagement.

This is an interesting update. And a big challenge for companies and labs. The new tools for measurement are indeed what I'd like out of future agents, and agents that solve the games will need to use different subsystems to do so. This is basically optimization for achieving goals (as opposed to prompt engineering / magic spells to make the LLM do what is told to do) which imo is the future we should aspire to build.

I tried myself to make a language over an agent's prompt. This programing language is interpreted in real time, and parts of it are deterministic and parts are processed by an LLM. It's possible, but I think that it's hard to code anything in such a language. This is because when we think of code we make associations that the LLM doesn't make and we handle data that the LLM might ignore entirely. Worse, the LLM understands certain words differently than us and the LLM has limited expressions because of it's limits in true reasoning (LLMs can only express a limited number of ideas, thus a limited number of correct outputs).

No. LLMs aren't experts in subjects. They can answer things in a confident manner, but nobody optimized LLMs to perform good analysis yet.

My first reaction to seeing this FP was why are people still releasing MCPs?

MCPs are more difficult to use. You need to use an agent to use the tools, can't do it manually easily. I wonder if some people see that friction as a feature.

Do they de-prioritize or ignore other crimes that are not visible in the streets? This is an honest question, I want to know if actually focusing only on the streets makes people feel safe even if other types of crimes are rampant.

EDIT: I guess I could add examples of what "other crimes" could be. Fraud, corruption, sexual abuse, all victimless crimes, hitmen?

While children have their own psychology, behavior and brain development cycle, I'd like to clarify that I'm being careful not to practice ageism, something deeply entrenched in our culture.

The things you listed are not a special innate properties of children past a certain age (maybe it's the passage from infant to child? I don't know). If you don't teach children how a bumble bee is dangerous, they'll never know, and adults either!. It's the same for not considering the consequences of actions. We adults know better because someone taught us and we learned via painful experiences, so it's our duty to guide them so they can avoid painful experiences (while not controlling them).

The digital caliper isn't communicating with you. You're only reading text from a tool. I'm not expert in the field, but there are different "models of communication". For example one model has components: sender, receiver, message, channel, noise. The sender and the receiver are always people. There are other models focused on machines, but that's a very specific use of communication models.

AI writing is almost indistinguishable from human writing

This depends on what you consider AI writing. If I dictate what the AI must write word by word verbatim, is it considered AI writing? Is it something to do about the percentage of the text generated? Does it have to do with the vocabulary the AI knows? What if I don't know any other words than the AI does? Does it have to do with the efficiency of communication?

Nevertheless, I don't think AI writing can ever be human writing. No matter if it uses the same words as a human and it's indistinguishable. This is because humans participate in a society as independent conscious actors and thus communication has meaning. The only way text can become communication is when the writer has intents, they're willing to participate in society.

I think that if you're going through a a hard moment it'll make an impact. But it's true that the themes are not "deep" nor complex.
