There are many reasons to use subsidiaries for things like this, like to invite outside investment, ringfence risk, cede operational risk, and many more. This is all like CFO 101 type stuff, and not nefarious. I find it amusing that people

> These companies have valuations reflecting a debt light business. Sorry, but this doesn’t make sense. The valuations of these companies reflect their growth. In finance there’s nothing inherently virtuous about a “debt-light business”.

I wonder how big the Pro model is that Google is using behind the scenes to train these smaller ones. Going on baseless speculation, the lack of accompanying pro models with these flash releases either means: 1) the model is too big to be e

I've been thinking about this too much because it's so ridiculous and funny that I had to at least try wrapping my head around it. My best guess is this: If you look at past snapshots at archive.org, you notice that the meta keywo

That's hilarious. These keywords are applied globally, even on pages like https://qwen.ai/usagepolicy , where they very kindly ask you not to use their products for sexual content. Run this in console to see all the tag

I’m grateful for this team. Jellyfin is a great product. I’ve been using llm + Tailscale + Jellyfin to manage my media box and I couldn’t be more happy. I’ve got perfect metadata, perfect organization, and multimodal search on top of it. Wh

Unfortunately it was possible in codex too, until recently. https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/5237

Yes I’m saying a question answered deceptively should not be one of the four featured questions on your product page. > Looking through their privacy policy, it looks like the bigger issue is that they are (or refuse to refute) training

Yes, but the answer is an indirection. “How does Kimi Work protect my privacy when accessing local files?” It doesn’t protect your privacy. It’s like asking, “how do I know you’re not spying on me?” And getting the reply “we cannot physical

kimi has been particularly shameless in copying codex 1:1, wow. Like, I get it, before condex there was conductor and a ton of other guis but this looks like they just copied the code. Also, their privacy disclosure is incredibly misleading

Pretty sure he’s talking about Cursor and other ai coding startups. There was a lot of drama between the two in the past year and iirc anthropic cut their capacity. Edit: here’s the zitron post at the time: https://www.wheresyour

This is a very strange article considering that Llama, the mother of all open-weight models, has led to anything but success for Meta. Also, enterprises don't give a rip if models are open. They care about zero data retention (and stic

This is a wonderful piece. I really appreciate the author for writing this – I thought I lost the ability to read longform on the internet. What.cd was so vast a resource that it means something different to everyone. I personally lament th

It's also not the first time Codex started encrypting stuff. Their excellent compaction endpoint has served up a giant encrypted blob since at least five months ago.

It's why I like Gemini 3.1 Pro. That it sounds much more human than other LLMs is testament to Google's inability to post train. gemini-2.5-pro-experimental was the GOAT, though. It was an emotional wreck, down in the dumps and fe

Gonna zag here. If you take a step back, cloudflare has been paving the path for pay for crawl. I think it's a noble and ambitious goal. While I can understand why you would be alarmed, I can point to almost two decades of lamenting on

There is so much less drama involved with the Codex world. You don't realize how oppressive CC is until you've escaped it. Outages, weird restrictions, degradation, accelerated usage, etc etc etc.

Not their first try. There’s been reporting about how they’ve kept pushing their model releases back because of underwhelming performance.
