>pushing out huge challengers in the space

I thought it's not actually available to anyone? They announce huge challengers, but they don't exactly "push" them out...

Okay. The point is that, to me, the analogy does not hold at all.

To me, this analogy holds if the point of science is the recognition by peers for a discovery rather than the discovery itself. A race is a competition by its nature, whereas scientific discovery has enormous value by itself no matter who discovers it. I prefer earlier discovery rather than worry about which racer gets credit.

... from this, and not Muse, Grokbot, and Dot? This is Claude catching up in functionality, not something new.

I like Muse, and OpenAI's Dot. But what will differentiate this for me is the model. I grew frustrated with Muse's lackluster model, and increasingly with OpenAI's Dot as even if it implements my asks with Astra I just have not been to happy with the output. If Claude/Opus can do better, that's all the differentiation I need.

You can export all your data from OpenAI and Anthropic. I also exported all of my Liked songs on Spotify and have a scheduled task to pull any new ones each day.

It's so private, even Siri can't do anything when you ask :D.

Yes! it's so darn slow, then there's a 50/50 chance it either does the thing, or does nothing at all. It's driving me a bit bonkers.

I was optimistic when I updated MacOS, iOS, and got a new series 12 watch to replace my series 8. But... it's terrible. It doesn't seem to be able to do much of what I ask, and Siri on my watch is somehow less responsive than it was on my Series 8 watch. When I talk to Siri on my watch, the Siri icon thing spins around as if it does something, then it does nothing? I don't understand.

We use this term when little kids aren't old enough to just go out and find their friends and play. E.g., 2-5 year olds definitely aren't going to be let to go wander around the street.

Give it a little time, AI (SI, whatever) has only started getting good very recently without hallucinating on everything. This year I plan to use Turbotax as a first pass and then have the then-current SOTA model review it. Next year, maybe the same, but then I'd be surprised if I ever pay Turbotax another cent after 2027.

Not true, I use OpenAI's Dot on my phone all the time. It might need to be set up first on Desktop or web?

Astra on Extra High. Knowledge work, the right answer is much more important than a fast or cheap answer. If I were to switch to Anthropic, Opus 5.5 or Fable 5.1 on high or better.

Most OpenAI and Anthropic consumers are consuming directly, not indirectly from OpenRouter. So I don't think that data means anything.

Things are or were labeled wrong... I clicked a button for "upgrade to iOS 27" but then follow up dialogue is talking about upgrading to 26.7. When supposedly I'm already running 26.7. It's very weird.
