   I think these are the worst I've seen, at least in some time. It's a silly benchmark though, not sure what to make of it

   I find people tend to lack nuance in their communication more often - leading to problems and misunderstandings. If I don't grok an elaborate explanation, I can ask for clarification. If it's explained to me in an overly simplisti

   Agreed. The more knowledge you amass on a subject, the more important it becomes to be extremely specific and nuanced - or your communications end up being incorrect. You become better at expressing your thoughts, but harder to understand.

   Question: What is Google's track record for where their open source releases end up over time? Genuinely not knowledgeable here

   Ah I wasn't aware, thank you

   This. To be fair, adults should not be subject to this dynamic either. The lawmakers have failed to legislate around social media, and this is a weak fallback option.

   Very impressive, and kind of worrying a 7B model can have such capabilities. The implications are huge. And Qwen does no watermarking (yet) yeah?

   While I agree with you, I think we also have to concede that this is not how these accomplishments have been presented. I'd argue most people I've seen talk about this online are unaware of the mathematicians steering the models.

   Not to go all meta but the very post were commenting in is also good marketing and branding. So while the initial post was not good, the author is currently succeeding to some extent at what you're describing

    Yeah. People get confused because they're not a bank, but they offer banking services (as a middleman)

    YMMV but for me even models in the same family fail in different ways, and every incremental update changes it

    By this logic you'd probably be wise to tier your claude.md by model (sonnet/opus) as well as effort level too, considering the varying failure modes

    Agreed. Time trap, and even worse imo: creative flow trap. You enter critique mode too early in the process

    Caught myself about to praise this, but it's the absolute bare minimum. Time to delete the symlinks

    Agreed. Banking is the killer app imo

    I wonder if Lawslop is gonna become a mainstream expression. Anyone got a better term?

    Agreed. Hallucinations and reliability are the main hurdles to anything being 'agi' in my book

    This is so nostalgic! Side note, Lucasarts' games rewired my kid brain to expect humor and (good) voice acting in games. It's really guided (and limited) what games I'm able to enjoy

    This made me laugh out loud. All the Apple Intelligence commercials were shamelessly this too. Felt like such poor branding for apple

    I see! I've only really used it for coding. You should design velcrobench!

    I love it as a variation from the others. 3.8 flash is the best back-and-forth model for iterating imo, but would not use for long horizon

    I find just letting a model record a video it can read frame by frame later works fine, Gemini 3.8 flash would be solid for that

    Agreed. They really are the greediest when it comes to data for training (unsurprising for google I guess)

    Agreed. The language consistently triggers visceral negative reactions from me at this point.

    You sure it was 3.8 Flash? It hasn't been called Gemini cli in a WHILE...

    I bought the top rated Sony's on Android and it was awful. Glad to hear there's better options!
