> I don't really care if someone can chain together zero-day exploits to "pwn" my lightbulbs.

The point of pwning your lightbulb is not to decide whether it's bright or dark in your house. It's valuable as a residential proxy with a good IP reputation, to be sold to the highest bidder who wants to do something they don't want traced to their own IP.

The theory is that open models cannot follow regulations and will therefore be banned or not eligible for many of the large contracts that the frontier labs will win.

OpenAI has 5 hour limits on the $20 plan. I agree about cybersecurity refusals though.

They don't generate keyword search queries very well. They can overcome this by brute force but if you watch what they search you will cringe.

nhl toronto scores nhl hockey toronto scores "nhl hockey" toronto score today nhl "hockey score toronto" "hockey" who won toronto

etc.

Somehow being good at semantic search makes them bad at keyword search, for whatever reason.

Your argument in favour of TUIs is that they can be, in fact, not TUIs and actually CLIs

why is that staggering? I think we're at a point now where the use of AI is not really much of a quality signal in either direction
