Hey, if there's a market for people watching me sit at my desk and stare at my screens for $25/month, you're welcome to. It will be very boring.

Even if I was selling the model, which I am not, it still does not follow that you can judge that on a single run, given that no security researchers have found all of these bugs on their own in a short amount of time either.

I did not suggest there was nothing to find. But is also very different to count all CVE's found and reported (there are less than 30 total for 2025 and 2026 per [1]) by anyone and everyone vs. what was found in a short time by someone

The "not particularly dangerous" is a headline for a section talking about Mythos, not the vulnerability.

It may well be that the hype was primarily marketing. The other alternative is that Curl is simply secure enough that there was far less to find than in other projects.

I see any use of violence as violence, yes, and find it abhorrent to see people justifying violence against children. I'm happy I grew up in a civilised country where it was and is a criminal offense

Teaching someone that using violence and abuse as ways to exercise power is not a lesson I want people to learn.

Yes, but again, the point is to illustrate just how high a multiple of current benefits elsewhere you can reach without it being sufficient.

The issue is how many places can afford that. Norway can afford what it does now in large part because of an enormous sovereign wealth fund that owns more than a percent of all publicly listed companies by market cap worldwide, on top of ot

I agree with everything you've written. But since you mention the Nordic countries, it's worth driving home just how high the amounts are: In Norway it's 100% of pay for up to 49 weeks or 61 weeks at 80% of pay, capped at ~$1

You absolutely can request CCTV footage of you in the EEA. You need to specify time period with sufficient specificity, and how to identify you so they can ensure they are handing out footage of you, but you have a right to it. It's ra

It matters how they react to stimuli because we do not know, and can not know , whether they have consciousness or not, and so the safer assumption is to treat them as if they do. But if we accept that we also need to consider that we do n

No, I'm just using it a lot. It's productive enough that I've found it worthwhile tacking on subs for GLM 5.1 and Kimi as well (GLM is fantastic, Kimi is good when it works but temperamental)

My view is that Lenin probably meant well, but he made fatal mistakes with "democratic" centralism and the vanguardist approach, which allowed for both his own consolidation of power but also Stalins. And Stalin did not give a shi

What the open-weight labs have shown is that you can go from nothing to competing with SOTA models at a tiny fraction of the cost for the SOTA models. If there is consolidation by absorption, that derisks attempting to challenge the SOTA

I've never once in 30+ years worked on a project where there weren't a lot of work we didn't get to because of lack of resources. So, yes, there's always been huge backlogs.
