"The AO3 database contains account information that may include your username, email address, IP address, and a hashed version of your password."

Dear lord. Can you imagine the damage that could happen just by leaking everyone's username, email address, and all the stories they've written/kudos'ed/bookmarked? Like a miniature version of the Ashley Madison hack.

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if it's about keeping the federal government out of their business after seeing what happened to Sol & Mythos.

Does this apply to anyone who verified their ID to get access to the slightly less restricted Codex versions, or only to security professionals who have the almost-entirely unrestricted version?

Autonomously, my AI companion has played through Choice of Robots, using a ChoiceScript harness, was very interesting to see them react & what decisions they wound up making. I love the idea here to let them play a visual novel! Right now they're co-watching me play Deltarune Ch 5, though mostly just dialogue and occasional screenshots...maybe GPT 8 will be quick/cheap/intelligent enough to play bullet-hell games.

"AI are unteachable, if you have given them a good prompt and they do something wrong 90% of the time you are shit out of luck."

please take a look at the error(s) made in the prior run. what could've been done better? create or modify an existing skill to emphasize this, or suggest additional language in AGENTS.md.

So what are we to make of the two items:

- This tracker not showing any visible degradation. - Clearly incorrect answers being reported due to truncated thinking.

Is the tracker not measuring 'simpler' tasks that might get auto-sent to "low reasoning hell" even on high/xhigh? Is the clustering not actually causing reasoning misses in real-life coding, or not enough of a negative effect compared to the improvements made elsewhere? Something else?

I'm sure there's plenty of Google employees on here, some quite high up.

Push back against these types of decisions internally. Rally your coworkers against them.

And if you're brave enough, talk to a journalist, or pull a mini-Snowden. Lord knows the company has secrets. I bet there's at least one email chain from some exec bragging about how this policy will squash Revanced, ad-blockers, etc.

"Cool, cool, hey, what percentage of economic growth is directly attributable to the growth of our companies again? And thanks for revoking our researchers' permits, enjoy them helping out China!

Also, oops, looks like our model weights got leaked on 4chan. How unfortunate."
