A month or so for you. Enough time to catch up on a few favorite shows and finish a few books. Now if anyone is waiting for you on earth, they will wait considerably longer

Thank you, Ned!

>> You want an executive to issue a press release about how dysfunctional and bureaucratic their company is and that’s why it’s so hard for users to actually use these new models?

> is intentionally assigning beliefs to me purely from your own imagination without any connection to reality.

No, that part is asking a question. I assumed you misquoted that part and meant something else. Nobody is assigning you beliefs. The normal response to someone asking a question is saying something like "yes, that is exactly the proof I would expect" or "no, I would like an insider to come forward and give an account of X,Y,Z". You did neither and instead started with insults

> This is sub-grade-school levels of memory and reading comprehension.

Huh... you don't say

In this case it's a EU company serving either an EU built model or a Chinese model. For the Chinese models they are not forwarding the requests to China, the model is still running in EU.

They can use the model and the data and requests all stay in the EU region. As opposed to sending to Anthropic, Microsoft or Google. Granted, those companies can assert that data will stay in the EU region too, but they'd have to be believed, which, some may find tricky lately.

> The Germans knew to identify ex Stasi and their informants so they know who to beware of.

I thought it was quite the opposite: there were so many informants and records were shredded that it wasn't that easy to figure out. What was the mechanism for this identification? A public database records lookup?

> Your comment is exceptionally low effort by the standards of sarcasm. llama-3-8b-level, in that it's trivial, uninteresting, unamusing, uninformative, not clever, and incorrect.

Ok. Well, I found it amusing and interesting.

> You did, in the comment that I quoted from you immediately before my statement.

You still haven't quoted them. Just vague references and a lot of angry words.

> We've established that you have either a severe lack of reading comprehension or are maliciously lying, given that someone with rather below average intelligence would be able to tell that your comment assigns a belief to me that I never held, by reading the two sentences immediately adjacent to each other.

You still haven't quoted anything are just continuing with more insults.

> Most HN readers are capable of this reading comprehension, so anyone reading this thread will be able to tell that you're wrong,

Yes they are and it would look rather embarrassing for some of us... but I can't stop you ;-)

> but since they introduced 3rd party models, added more features (now Responses API etc.) and improved their own model, we are quite happy-

Yeah, serving GLM is a pretty good play on their side. I know they have been criticized for it ("so, you're just reselling GLM...") but it seems practical as in it helps EU companies use it.

> Your sarcasm is as low-effort as your original post.

Putting too much effort into sarcasm doesn't work well usually; it works because it's low effort.

> is intentionally assigning beliefs to me ...Anyone with a functioning brain can see ...caught by their parents eating a cookie, who claim that they're not eating a cookie...

Who is assigning what beliefs to you? What cookies? Not sure what you're after here but sounds like you're a bit upset.

Uh, proof needed for this outlandish claim

You want an executive to issue a press release about how dysfunctional and bureaucratic their company is and that’s why it’s so hard for users to actually use these new models?

This model is not for you or me. This model is for Google AI engineers to put on their perf review at the end of the year. How you find or not find it, it doesn't matter. It goes into the "designed and developed Gemini 4 Carbon Ultra Pro" paragraph and people get a promotion, get to keep their jobs and hope to not get replaced by Gemini 4 Carbon next year.

> Have you ever tried dragging that monitor and all those cables and peripherals into a Starbucks and camping there for 7 hours? This is a freelancer’s dream machine

For sure and you get a nice workout hauling a full desktop computer around to coffee shops. A fun conversation starter too, I bet!

If you bring in a color printer and photo scanner, you can really get some work done. Just need to grab another table to fit it all. I am sure nobody would mind.
