More like annoying, as some of us will no doubt run into this self-lobotomization at some point and wonder why a GPT-6 model is behaving like GPT-2 all of a sudden

I'll sleep so much better at night when the company that'll leak my Social Security Number on the internet due to hosting a backup of a database that's assessible publicly gets fined $0.30 per SSN leaked. Hell, the execs may

Because the incentive has been changed from the true best output always, to a mix of "close to the best but not always" output. For the (majority) of us using Claude models for computing as a tool, obviously we're not going t

I actually think there's already a lot of us in the 'community' as-is. I personally describe it as 'Valuing Privacy/Freedom over Security'. One pretty clear example of this is how they don't recommend usin

Although the nice thing about Aurora Store is it allows you to install apps without a google account linked to your device, keeping Google Play Services signed-out. Somewhere in the FAQ GOS advertises that Play Services can be used without

So true, please use random no-name services with unvetted E2EE crypto or mainstream services with none instead. Much better than Signal, the platform of choice for politicians, feds, and security researchers for their personal and private c

Right, because they might find themselves agreeing with it! Can't have that, democracy thrives in darkness with a closed and restricted 'marketplace of ideas'.

Honestly, this is kind of the point. Making foreign labor so unbearably difficult to work with will force companies to hire domestically. At least, hire more domestic workers than they would have otherwise.

You can peruse Twitter with a VPN and see direct-linked post content while signed-out though, even Reddit doesn't let you do that.

That AI consumes it at an abnormally high rate, presumably. The claim never made sense to me either, I can only assume those that regurgitated such claims never worked with HPC or even general datacenters before. Was recently talking to a (

In my state there were multiple instances of the police literally being called to people just hanging out outdoors. It's hilarious you try to deny our lived history, we have a thing called memory.

I use Pi but with my codex subscription, still preferable to paying the API cost (and I know I would be, as I track how much the cost 'should' be via token api pricing). Wish I could use my Claude subscription with pi too, much pr

Well in that case, yeah sorry requiring it to participate to civilized society to any significant degree is essentially no different than flat out forcing it upon people. If the alternative is living in the woods not being able to go outsid
