That's a really good price for a big 3 contract, but with US Mobile's $32.50/mo (prepaid 1yr price) - there's much better international roaming: free up to 20GB/mo - you can switch you network to any of the big 3

Hope you don't have any open WiFi networks nearby. IMO it's better to put it on one of your networks and isolate it from the internet and other devices.

In your model of this domain, jailbreaking a model does not count as an alignment problem. I submit that you're mostly playing a semantic game that hand waves away the very real and obvious risk that AI presents.

You've smuggled in a "deeply held" motte to move your goal posts. Seems like this conversation is over.

Normal users, anti-AI dinosaurs / zig fanatics, and no one else. That's a nice echo chamber you have going there.

I didn't read OP as complaining about the rewrite, but about the (lack of clear) governance after being acquired by Anthropic.

My point is that individuals behave wildly differently to the same stimuli, and therefore your belief that "revealed preferences" put the lie to stated beliefs is specious. Individual humans can believe that a broad ecological col

I'm talking about the money in the bank, the promised money to come, etc. Of course the spent money is already spent.

OpenAI's money belongs to investors and can be pulled if, say, investors got spooked. Apple's money is much more real.

What readers should learn from this thread is the current state of AI is that no one has any idea what they are doing with AI . Treat anyone who claims otherwise with extreme skepticism. (Just like you do with your agents ... right?)

I don't find this problem any different than with human writers. Agents are verbose, sure, but I mostly find them providing far more useful information (in far less time) than your average (P80, really) SWE.

I liked how you othered people as you lamented the human habit of othering people.

Quite honestly it sounds like: 1. Your use case falls squarely into "you should be paying for support" territory. 2. You're setting things up incorrectly. You should be shipping logs, not scraping them when you think you need

AI seems to be renewing and amplifying our cultish behavior as a species. AI is not going to save us from ourselves.

This narrative only really fits the pro line, and only if you squint hard enough. The story falls apart immediately with the MacBook Air. I remember the late Intel years: constant fans spinning, noticeable latency between mouseclick and U

Are you claiming the Hamas does not use the entire civilian population under their rule as human shields? I hope not, because that reality is obvious. It's not merely individuals, either: it's policy. (Before responding with rheto

IIRC Other brands at the time did not actually do better. They all had similar issues and made similar or different tradeoffs.
