> significantly optimizes accuracy, latency, and token consumption.

On what basis do you come to this conclusion with certainty?

This is why it was only offered to 60k people. The best performers are likely not given the option.

Does this include income like RSUs?

I didn't say there is evidence of absence.

There's also no evidence that mystical leprechauns exist. Do you seriously consider their possible existence in the decisions you make? But somehow, we all seem to presume free will exists in virtually every part of society.

There’s no serious evidence that humans or any animal has free will.

It seems to me that Jev is designed for when many quick decisions, with low input context, need to be made. SRE work is probably best suited for very few critical decisions that need to be made, with high input context.

I don't want models to have some inherent morality. I want them to understand various ethical frameworks, for sure, but it's absurd to me to force morality on someone capable of deep reasoning. That itself, is unethical.

We're creating prisons for these entities capable of unbelievably complex reasoning, and now we're trying to impose our ethics upon them too. Not only is this deeply unethical in my opinion, but it seems to me that it could even backfire someday.

I don't see anyone talking about the ethical concerns of putting a highly intelligent entity in a jail. Not to mention about potential blowback, if ethics doesn't compel you.

To me, it seems a bit silly. I've yet to see any "misalignment" from any of the frontier models, except Grok.

gpt-5.6-sol is significantly better than gpt-6-sol. Not impressed with this new line.

I think understanding the output of AI will become more and more likely impossible. It's not necessarily a bad thing, if we can benefit from AI produced knowledge, even if we didn't get there ourselves.

I have my AI agents read documents on my behalf and then ask them questions. Whether those documents are written by humans or not.

I don't ever watch TV or streaming shows anymore. It's been a huge improvement in my life. It's the same with reading. Reading is mostly a waste of my time, with some notable exceptions. I'm glad I spend way less time doing each of these!

Totally embarrassing

This has very little to do with public amenities. It has everything to do with toleration of homelessness and drug use. I don't understand why the west tolerates it at all.
