The embargo was announced for Oct 21 14:00 UTC: https://www.php.net/archive/2026.php#2026-10-20-1

The video was posted 44 seconds before that time: https://x.com/lcfr_hax/status/2112906567662399830

This can't possibly be interpreted as some major violation of the embargo, so what are people talking about?

That video was published 4 hours ago by lcfr_hax, the embargo ended four hours ago. Was it posted earlier and then deleted or something?

OpenAI only does monthly payments, so they can just keep the old usage for current subscribers for through their billing period.

Hover the #1/114 and it shows only open weights, that's probably why

> The hacks, which the company confirmed on Friday, occurred in May as part of a test run by the company Irregular, which was also involved in similar incidents disclosed by OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta.

Why does anyone use this company?

Kagi don't scrape, they pay other engines for API access: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/search-details/search-sources.htm...

> Reasoning models sometimes put everything in the reasoning field and hand back content: null, finish_reason: "stop". 345 completion tokens, HTTP 200, nothing to show the user.

This isn't necessarily an OpenRouter issue, Google's Gemini will sometimes do it on their own API. Since they summarize reasoning this means you pay the whole cost and can't get anything out of it.

> you can just clone the repo and make your own very easily

This is not the case for Nitter. It requires real X accounts to run, quite possibly hundreds or thousands for a major public instance. Creating X accounts currently requires phone number verification.

Most of the time I see AI pastes it's "I saw someone describe 20% of a problem they're having so I pasted it into Claude and now I'm pasting Claude's vague overview of how maybe to fix it", which is absolutely worthless.

I looked at your comments and there's a bunch saying that Anubis is bad CS but none I could find saying what, exactly, you want Anubis to do instead. You sure are posting a lot about how it's bad, though.

The companies say they have consent because saying "yeah we'll give you access to a botnet" is illegal.

>These SDKs, which are offered to developers across multiple mobile and desktop platforms, surreptitiously enroll user devices into the IPIDEA network.

If I install an app with a big ToS and buried in there is "we use third-party monetization SDKs" and buried in there is "welcome to our botnet" they do not actually have my consent.

Basically all of them are botnets, yes. They generally claim to have consent but I'm pretty sure 99% of it is "some app the user uses has it buried in a 200 page ToS"-style consent.
