It's better. No content restrictions and more control.

The Ellisons already control way too many media outlets and have started instituting censorship on TikTok. They are aggressively Zionist and I think it's bad for our nation (and the world) to have a pro-Israel media empire feeding pr

Thank you for the pointers! These look very interesting.

Thank you for saying this. I totally agree with the OPs comment, but the use of anarchism is off. In fact collectivist anarchism is likely to improve the situation and at least, in theory, produce less predatory entities. https:/&#x2F

There are cultures where dying isn't feared like it is in Christian based societies. It's considered a natural progression and part of nature. I'd also say people may want more life for themselves, but what does that mean at

The CEO of Vercel is a Zionist: https://x.com/rauchg/status/1972669025525158031 Also your original comment was a non sequitur. I replied to a VC saying they could make their own lane by being ethical and being ant

I don't think agents are append only. At the end of the day, you're just presenting context to the LLM. That context can be pruned and compacted (and is). There's no guarantee that an iteration of an agent loop contains all p

Yeah, I totally agree. I'm sure these open models are more than good enough for non-dev work. I'm also sure they'll be good enough for dev work soon enough (and some people are saying the latest already are). My point was tha

Oh yes, I wouldn't ever work with anyone who met with Netanyahu. That's ridiculous. Vercel's CEO even went to Israel to do it (that wasn't in NYC -- not that that would make it ok). I'll never use one of their produ

I'd love to! For real coding though, SOTA models barely get the job done. It wasn't until Opus 4.5 that you could really get decent results. I'm sure this will change (and I can't wait for it!) but as of today, open mo

Raising money from someone and putting them on your board is more than "meeting with them".

Some of us care about the ethics of those we work with. Being a Zionist is also a brand risk. Just look at Vercel when their CEO met with Netanyahu. Many people canceled their accounts and now will never use Vercel. Mainly I don't wa

I agree it's a scam. I just wanted to point out the way the scam works, by ownership percentage and new shares issued during new rounds (and cap table shenanigans), not generally through a different class of stock issued to founders vs

This is not standard. Normally founders and employees get common stock and investors get preferred stock. Founders may get more stock issued in a round, and VCs/founders can pretty much rework the cap table to their liking if they real

I'm someone in the startup space that's sworn off raising capital and talks to a lot of founders. I can say that if you're willing to take an anti-Zionist position, you will get incredible deal flow from frustrated founders a

I don't think they have much data, they host the (open) models but I don't think they're getting any logs from users or anything like that. I don't believe they monetize data either. I also suspect Nvidia has a much la

I think it's good for mid-sized tasks. It seems quick too. It just doesn't do as good of a job with large changes or architectural decisions as Opus imo.

I don't remember the version exactly but maybe June/July timeframe? I tried it on maybe a half dozen projects with different types of asks as I was comparing models for my company at the time.

I'm using it for coding and it's never approached the level of Opus for me. Sol is pretty good too.

That is interesting, I've never been able to get it to successfully complete big tasks to any level of quality. For me the Anthropic models are by far the best at that, but the newer OpenAI models are starting to approach that quality.
