A problem right now is that GPT-6 is just a chatbot, and wouldn't be able to file any counterclaims (which involve human lawyers and billable hours) when fElon decides to wage a battle of attrition in the courtrooms.

Randomly, I just wanted to point out the irony that Grok's public shares are fronted by a Cloudflare captcha. fElon is already stealing from everywhere else.

Claude can be told to run OpenCode or other harnesses via CLI. I've been doing this myself, all the time. (The ability to get second opinions and code reviews from Sol and other models is priceless.) There's nothing restricting it

Isn't it more that the "Chinese models" are open weight? Also, the system prompt in the article is supposedly for the web version, so I think the $$$ API version or providers that still allow third-party harnesses like OpenAI

Now I'm really curious if they're actually plasma. Many of the stations were built long after LCDs became the norm (the first parts of the Thomson-East Coast Line [1] only opened in 2021), so it's likely mislabelling on the w

I have had the Codex/ChatGPT app installed for a few months, and can confirm that there's a 422.9 MB file named LibreOfficeDev.app in the above path. More notably, I don't use Computer Use or any of the fancy features, just C

I think what the parent commenter means is that the screws might not screw back the same way after, because that mirrors my experience with a lot of their furniture too.

There's a lot of writing that is meant to be read by humans. Code's ultimate goal, on the other hand, is to be run by computers.

From what I understand, the card-issuing banks get a cut of the merchant fees, but they're required to provide premium benefits like lounge access.
