Does the regular ChatGPT not have a VM? I've seen both Claude and ChatGPT do all kinds of strange "computer use" things even in the web chat. What surprised me the most was, when I tried uploading a book into the "projec

Nice. I'm curious how it works? I don't know much about VoIP, I remember being amazed by Skype back in the day, that it could call landlines.

So it's a different set of tools / skills? Isn't the whole point of the tools/skills that you can use them on-demand? i.e. having them available doesn't make anything worse does it? Why did it even need to be a sepa

>[ChatGPT Work offers] Options to use Luna and Terra in place of Sol So if I'm looking to get serious work done, I might want to reach for a less intelligent LLM? What's the idea here?

If my memory serves me so do GPT and Deepseek. So I'm not sure if this attack is Claude specific at all.

Make each subsequent generation poorer and less populous. Aren't we already doing that?

Yeah, it's about incentives. Software development is about solving business problems, but sometimes the solution is "use this thing that already exists instead of paying me to build it." Similarly, the incentive is to design

But before 5m the hit rate is 100%, and after it's 0%? Why is there a probability? Is there some stochastic process that takes place during those 5 minutes that determines whether or not you get the discount?
