It's sometimes easier to lie than to tell the truth, and being on Linux telling the truth gets me more scrutiny than those pretending to be legit.

I worry that GPT 5.6 will be heavily restricted and have the same feature to fallback to another model like Claude fable 5 does all too often. That fallback shenanigans mess up actual benchmarks and I don't like it.

The biggest loss to them is the right to repair stuff. They will be still making it exceptionally difficult to repair their stuff, and might even dip into exotic materials to make cheaper parts fail more often, but this is a bigger loss to them in the long run.

Unfortunately, I hate that they got away with such a low AF fine.

I ran it through paddle paddle OCR and it flawlessly did it. Google's OCR through my phone's Google lens had also worked at getting a very good extraction but not 100% correct. Definitely would spend less time fixing it than hand copying.

IDK what the author was using but I feel like he could have shared how his OCR attempt went, but I am thinking he tried some naive OCR tools.

Plus, it is not the bottom I fear, it's the precedent from letting companies slide down the slope.

Regulation may try to stop it but history has shown some have slid to the point of no return or past a point where people can care enough to build out of.

Prevention is better than retroactively fixing stuff.

I've been seeing LLMs act lazy from the very beginning. They got a little better but smaller models really only want to have a single task given to them. Mythos at least does work. RIP

Would the new upcoming AMD AI ryzen halo desktop be a better value offer? or dgx spark?

You would have to get a third party reseller/scalper or refurbished mac mini to get 64gb of ram ever since apple stopped selling it.

I am finding Chinese models are introducing more guidelines against cyber. Especially Kimi k2.7 code seems to have extra training against cyber security capabilities. Last one, k2.6 was a lot stronger at cyber but obviously the Kimi team improved over time, so this is not the best they can do but no one will be able to get the best anymore.

I expect future Chinese models to introduce even more of this type of bogus "safety" training.

Looks like if you are a white hat, then you will be fighting an uphill battle. Black hats will be fine, they will not care, they can just run a heretic model or specialty trained model.

I believe it is because GLM 5.2 has extra anti-cyber training instilled in it. Similar to Kimi k2.7 code.

Deepseek v4 pro being in preview with less "safety" training makes it stronger for that reason. Thinking will be different and in the end, it will actually try to be useful. Just expect future Chinese LLMs to further push out "safety" guided LLMs. The future is bleak for open weight models. Prepare to have "guidelines" enforced unceremoniously to all.

Which is silly because they seem to struggle with maneuvering around the little plastic tab to have the battery detected as rechargeable.

I am guessing they are trying to make a distinction from mental horny vs physical horny

Yes tokens used (input and sometimes output) are always charged. You likely get charged for the preloaded system prompt, too.

AI consistently places animated objects behind a blur object which causes the browser to constantly repaint. Google's ai mode introduced one, some other websites clearly vibe codes included them too.

At first it confused me why my GPU usage spiked and fans started blowing harder, but now I see it is a common mistake that AI makes but no one tests properly. It is possible a human can make this mistake but I sheldom experienced this ever in my life until now.

I run 240hz monitors, and that meant the browser was trying to do 240 repaints per second. Blocking it with unlock origin is the only way. Ridiculous

They will also prefer subscription or free-to-play than actual offline gaming. This is going to be a disaster

Fascinating, kimi k2 has good clock too from my limited time being on the site.
