> Back then the establishment used the CIA/FBI to prevent a multi-coalition, working class movement across ethnicity, unions, and religions that would have made the US a better democracy.

What makes you think they've stopped?

Blaming Russia for a train crash in Spain is a level of psychosis I had never seen before.

I think it sounds slightly "off" but its cadence certainly sounds way more like a human than other AI voices I've heard.

> That is the danger of open source models. They destroy monopolies and shrink margins.

Danger? You mean benefit?

A fanfiction where the author gives the main character good boy points for writing more words is kind of the extreme end of this, though. Web serials and fanfiction tend to be overly verbose and meandering, and the Methods of Rationality is very much on the less verbose side of them, but by the standards of traditionally published fantasy and sci-fi it is wordslop.

> Reminding you what food is going to be bad soon. Letting you know a list of recipes you can do with what food you have.

How? Are there cameras inside the fridge that check best before dates, and what food is in there? Having a fridge that is actively spying on what I eat seems even worse.

I've used feature flags extensively throughout my career as a SaaS developer, but I've never considered their usage in desktop software. Not sure how I feel about it.

My solution for this is to just subscribe to an entirely legitimate IPTV service which costs about as much for a year as one month of Sport TV costs.

Do you honestly believe that most of the thousands of PS2, PS3 and PS4 games will get vibe-coded backend clones?

Well, that's actually not true at all. Stockfish is not a very good odds player and at queen odds is easily beatable even by bad players like me. It will just trade down into more trivial and easier to win positions that it perceives as "less bad", since everything is super-losing anyway when you start down a queen.

Leela odds networks, on the other hand, are an entirely different beast. I cannot beat Leela queen odds, much less rook or minor piece odds, and even GMs struggle against Leela knight odds.

Without odds though, yeah, Stockfish is just incomprehensibly strong by human standards. All top chess engines are, but Stockfish moreso.

I don't think they're comparable. RTK just modifies the output of CLI tools to reduce the number of tokens, a Roslyn MCP gives the agent a fundamentally superior way of interacting with a C# codebase.
