I run an ESP in The Netherlands: https://laposta.nl

I love my work but my attitude towards it is European ;) I have 4 kids and a beautiful wife and I spend a lot of time with them.

Wow. This model is so good, and we have GLM 5.3 (seems great voor security related work) and Deepseek. In a few months we'll have Fable/Sol-like capabilities that are not coming from the big US companies. I feel as a programmer that that is more than enough. How wil OpenAI and Anthropic survive when frontier model intelligence becomes commoditized?

Composer 2.5 stands out here at nr. 9. This model is fast and clever.

I would also regret it if they become that fast; right now I can really take a moment to enjoy the hard work the model is doing for me.

Michael Levin has a lot of new ideas.

The idea that there is much more computation (and intelligence/agency) going on in biological and other systems seems to be getting more popular. (The author writes: The whole body is a computer: it’d be wasteful for evolution to only use the brain for computation when other systems could take part too.). Michael Levin has some super interesting ideas about this.

I first thought the spinning was an optical illusion, like https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/how-our-b.... But in this case the spinning is real and you don’t see the rotation except in a small area (your fovea).

I think the difference now is that traditional software ultimately comes down to a long series of if/then statements (also the old AI's like Wolfram), whereas the new AI (mainly LLM's) have a fundamentally different approach.

I'm using the smaller models for things like searching and summarizing over a larger part of the codebase. The speed is really pleasant then.

Is there a distinction made between business customers and consumers? (B2B/B2C)

I guess I mean that we are awake experience the input from our senses, and that in a dream only the replication of the experience of seeing or hearing etc. is needed, not a replication of the input of the senses which then leads to the experience.

Your brain does not need to render any environments, just the experience of being in them.

When images of Mars are shown on social media, there always is a flood of 'Devon island, Canada' comments, so depressing!

Hi Preet, I think this is looking great, and a lot of features are present already. Two things to consider: I think your pricing is too low to be taken seriously by a lot of organizations; also, with a one-time payment support is an issue.

Second, to have a selling point, you might want to focus on privacy. Is the data shared in any way? Where is it kept? What measures have you taken to keep data safe? Will it be deleted if I cancel my account? That sort of things.

Anyway, good luck and keep on going!
