Clearly his influence is going to be less though. And most likely this is a calculated step to avoid freaking people out, even though he is effectively leaving.

Sure, lots of languages have some level of parametric type support. This is just basic programming stuff and not limited to esoteric research languages. Yet so many in the Go community treated it as some kind of language-ruining complexity.

Well here’s the thing on generics. Go always had generics since the very beginning. It’s just that only certain built-in types had them. Slices, maps, and channels all were generic from day one. Same with functions like append, copy, etc. Y

Nope, I’m saying that the language that was seemingly designed with either an ignorance of or disdain for the hard-won lessons from decades of prior programming languages. There was even this condescending attitude that Google engineers cou

Ok, and what if you realize you want these things a million lines in? Do you still move off of Go? Generic programming isn’t some fancy research language feature like dependent types. It’s just a bare minimum feature in any modern typed lan

It’s all just tokens to the model. Whether it’s thinking tokens or output tokens, they take the same amount of computation to produce. The only difference is whether the token is displayed to the user.

Maybe in terms of code produced, but one token is only a fragment of a thought for an LLM. It’d be like thinking as slowly as Ents talk to each other in Lord of the Rings.

So your complaint is about LLM slop, but can’t point to anything that’s actually wrong about it other than that there are dashes? You can use an LLM to create work that isn’t slop. And you can hand write slop with no computer involvement at

Personally, I often paste screenshots into Claude Code of the application it’s working on. And I’ve even had it work autonomously on something and regularly grab its own screenshots. Or sometimes I will have tables, charts, or even screensh

Maybe the deaths would have happened, or maybe these places would have become self sufficient or received aid elsewhere. There’s really no way to know. But we committed to providing this aid. Even if we think it would be better in the long

I don’t know, does global cancer research shut down when you stop giving the $500? Do kids immediately stop receiving treatment? USAID literally ran ambulance systems that shut down due to lack of diesel. They delivered lifesaving drugs tha

What rule about steelmanning? We’re commenting online, not writing peer reviewed research. And yeah, some people lose the benefit of the doubt. Sorry, but actions have consequences. Elon doesn’t just get to kill hundreds of thousands of poo

I also don’t think one mistake should define a company. But for me it’s just about trust. Musk has proven time after time that he doesn’t deserve my trust. I will never trust Grok as long as he’s in charge of it. I agree that the guardrails

Elon himself promoted Grok’s “spicy mode” that allowed generating NSFW content that the other AI vendors wouldn’t touch with a 20 foot pole. Believe whatever you want. Elon’s beliefs and personality problems have been baked into the core of

How much can you really certify that data is destroyed? Customer data could live on the computer Elon pretends to play Diablo 4 on for all we know.

Consider actually searching for GLM or other top Chinese models and see how many upvotes they have been getting. Your claim that Chinese models don’t get as much attention is easily proven false.

by brokencode 3mo ago
So what billionaire are people rooting for when a new GLM comes out? How many people do you honestly think even know who owns or leads Z.ai? I certainly don’t.
48.
by brokencode 3mo ago
There have been multiple posts on here with 800+ upvotes in just the last few weeks for GLM 5.2. The idea that all this enthusiasm is for certain Silicon Valley billionaires and not from genuine interest in AI technology is a baffling take.

No you didn’t, and that’s not much of an insult.

Yup, the destitute and dying are famous for their highly publicized research.

Sure, let’s make jokes about the poor dying of malaria and AIDS. You sound like a Grok power user.

As opposed to what? Going down to Africa to count the bodies myself? Of course I read about it in the media. And there are articles from Harvard, UCLA, and others that say the same thing

Did they kill hundreds of thousands of poor people by shutting down USAID too?

by brokencode 3mo ago
Grok has a serious credibility problem due to Elon’s decisions and personal insanity. Will it ever recover? Maybe. But it’s got an uphill battle even compared to the Chinese models, and that’s saying something.

Yeah Elm has had a very strange arc, but I think calling it a research language is right. There was a period where it was heavily evangelized. Many blog posts were written and talks given, and there was a lot of enthusiasm and adoption. The

Yup, but apparently our cyborg cats can only be kittens and the cyborg mice are probably going to be like 4 feet tall. At least according to the US government.

The graphs do that already. I was expecting them to try to explain how good it was at simple tasks.

I feel like the title is a little overdramatic. They’re not saying goodbye to the LHC, they’re upgrading it to have 10x the power.

by brokencode 3mo ago
Kind of crazy how bad this release actually is. I even dug around in the full system card, and every graph showed the same thing. Low and maybe medium will save money on simpler tasks, but after that it just isn’t worth it compared to Opus.

by brokencode 3mo ago
That is a bad comparison. Compare Sonnet xhigh against Opus medium, which is both better and cheaper.
