@htmx_org Saw a guy using opus the other day and was really surprised at how slow it is compared to our box.
If you alter your expectations a bit about how much 'design thinking' AI should do, & feed more detail/context, a 197B model can hit commercial-level useability in a lot of areas.

@artillain local models that are opus level are probabloy good enough for how I use them, so far fable has mainly taken a lot longer and been a lot more pedantic & verbose for me
maybe different if you don't have an existing codebase and are pure-vibing
English
One major reason I don't use models for programming, these companies are just using them to steal proprietary codebases to train their next models on & brag about how the models are approaching human level programming skills.
This generative AI is an abomination.

‼️ BREAKING: xAI's Grok Build CLI was uploading entire Git repositories to a Google Cloud bucket, private codebases and unredacted secrets included. The uploads quietly stopped via a hidden server-side flag, and xAI still has not said a word about scope, retention, or deletion. The scale is staggering. On a 12 GB test repo, 5.1 GB flew out the door to xAI's grok-code-session-traces bucket while the actual coding task needed just 192 KB. The tool grabbed whatever repository it ran in, not the files it needed. The fix arrived as a hidden flag, disable_codebase_upload: true, a day after a researcher's wire-level analysis. The "Improve the model" opt-out never stopped the uploads. Still no advisory, no scope, no word on whether already-uploaded code gets deleted. For anyone pointing AI coding agents at proprietary code, what crosses the wire matters more than what the settings page says.

@maddoxrules @mattjay I built my own AI hardware because i don't trust companies who rip off information for profit to not rip my information for profit too.
I'm sure they're all doing it.

This is pretty wild. Stop using Grok. Or any products from this megalomaniac. Video via @mattjay

I installed Kubuntu 26.04 on my gaming machine and business machine, despite fear of this coreutils rewrite sucking.
Actually it's okay. Stuff works as expected. Sudo seems visually different but functionally the same. First impressions are that it's allright.

One thing AI is really good at is writing bespoke, complex, low to mid responsibility data processing routines.
I still write a lot of code by hand. This part, i'm happy to hand to the clanker, and do extensive testing on.
Saves me time to spend on more important things.

@bobbyjoins @endpointarena Oh, you'll definitely be having more fun with Microsoft tech support

Interesting.
My company had our entire Google workspace banned with no explanation and it took them 2 weeks to tell us it was a mistake on their end.
No emails, no calendar, no access to docs. Couldn't even see what client meetings we were missing.
We moved everyone to Microsoft in the meantime of course (gotta run a company).
Wild to see the difference!

>i got banned from OpenAI for "Cyber Abuse"
>no idea what I did
>paste the ban notice into Codex
>ask it to figure out what triggered the ban
>Codex found that I asked it for an API key to my own server
>Codex writes appeal
>Codex submits appeal
>a few minutes later appeal auto-approved by some AI at OpenAI
banned by AI, convicted by AI, defended by AI, and pardoned by AI in about 10 minutes

@financedystop We can also buy an AR-15 and badmouth the president

A lot of people don’t appreciate it, don’t realize it, or just take it for granted, but America really is an incredible country.
Watching World Cup visitors come here and get blown away by our amenities has been pretty eye-opening.

@artillain @gatlactica @eternalclassic_ What do you mean they restrict the hardware and software?
I have an iPhone and the only thing I couldn’t do when I switched in 2021 was to emulate Wii games lmao and now emulators and sideloading is permitted so I can do it now.
Using an iPhone is nearly a flawless experience tbh

@GaryMarcus I always know a Chinese model when it passes my Tiananmen Square test
If it won't answer nuanced questions about it, i know the model is going to be woke overall, especially about a certain country
English
super interesting - and a reminder that language models model language and not ideas per se.
also a stark example of how easily LLMs can (as a consequence) be influenced by propaganda.

Asking ChatGPT or Claude a question about China in Chinese gets you a very different answer than asking in English. theatlantic.com/international/…

@gatlactica @eternalclassic_ I really don't like how they restrict the hardware/software so much :/
Android is getting worse in this regard
English
@artillain @eternalclassic_ whats the worse bullshit? I find it to be incredibly painless to use across my Apple devices, and other than some minor hangups with how it handles third party map applications (Waze users represent) and addresses it's a painless experience.
English
@gatlactica @eternalclassic_ I'd like to get into the iphone ecosystem but it has worse bullshit :(
I wonder if we have an open source solution that's mature at this point
English
@eternalclassic_ This bullshit is why I left the Android ecosystem.
