That was true before Opus 5.5, not anymore
Comment · 5 days ago
I’ve been a loyal Pro 20x subscriber for 10 months but I plan to switch to Opus 5.5 very soon because both the 6.1 Sol and Astra models severely underperform, there is just no good reason anymore to stick to them.

> Remember that there is still quite a bit of friction to doing that, and that many people have better things to do than jump through those hoops

The thing is that Photopea has been extremely obnoxious with giant colorful ads. They take a big portion of the right-side of the screen (anywhere between 1/4th and 1/6th depending on your screen resolution), stealing important real-estate for actual work.

The owner of Photopea also fights ad blockers harshly and he went as far as surreptitiously breaking some features on purpose when it detected that an adblocker was installed (of course with a fair share of false positives), and then showed later a popup telling the user that they lost their work because of the adblocker. I think he eventually backpedaled on this due to the massive backlash.

You can pay to remove the ads but it costs 60€/year. I think few people are willing to pay for that when they just use it 2-3 times a month.

Overall the developer made the friction so extreme that people will do anything to get rid of the DRM entirely and use self-hosted instances. I think Photopea’s days are counted, a community effort to rebuild a similar tool from the ground up will definitely become a thing. The only thing left to say will be farewell Photopea, you served us well.

What makes you think it’s “BS of the highest order”?

Maybe you should read some of their stuff before forming such a strong opinion about them. And LeCun should too, he repeatedly always refused to read any of their research work and instead just insults them over and over. This is unscientific at its peek and he should be deeply ashamed of his behavior, especially as someone with such a far-reaching voice as he has.

That’s very possible and in fact until recently you couldn’t enable or disable that feature in an existing project, it was only configurable when creating a project. And for some time you couldn’t even move in and out conversations from a project configured with project-only memories/files

Just because the underlying kernel (Zircon) is designed to be good for both phones and computers doesn’t mean that Fuchsia (which is just an OS that uses that kernel) is.

Not true. When you create a new ChatGPT Chat project you decide whether it shares its memory/files with the rest of the workspace or if it should be fully isolated.

How does “open sourcing the tech” “give nefarious actors on the internet more opportunities”? Sounds like a paltry excuse for not open sourcing your tech.
