And yet, crime is doing fine. This tells you what the surveillance state is really for.

It's just legalise phrasing, still a good news. Saldy we lost measles eradication status, and tuberculosis might be lost as well soon.

Article isn't claiming anything substantial, it is in fact pointless.

Looks like he is just lying, whole thing reads like pure AI slop. What a distinct lack of taste.

I personally do astral travelling during the night and get my news and knowledge from various entities. Can't say what others are doing but so far this has never let me down.

1. To protect the company

2. Meta tokensations of LLMs. Imagine entire output of the LLM as just a single token, so they inspect previous one.

3. Non-deterministic output.

4. Benchmaxxing. Mobile phones are doing the same thing.

AI is fine, if the thing you want to produce is relatively small and self-contained.

But as soon as you have real, complex project is falls apart. Perhaps when we reach 10M tokens context this will change.

I am assuming he means that Fable will remain part of the subscription plans going forward, but only for Max and Team Premium plans. For other plans it will be available via credits only.

Bit naive world view. There are forces of rich and powerful who's only purpose is to maintain their status.

So thinking corporations and such were created to push human progress is laughable.

First year CS student is already vibe coding something which lacks basic presentation skills.

If he was really excited he would have put an effort and he wouldn't clickbate submission title.

But alas here we are, perhaps we should give him particpation star for effort.

This is pure nonsense. I asked it to edit one (long) html file, and it used up 5 hour session limit and it didn't even finish. For comparison, same task with Gemini Pro 3.1 Thinking took like 5% of usage. Similar with Codex 5.3.

Strangely enough, cancelled the subscription listed the reason, and after 15 minutes session limit is back to zero.

Well you are not wrong, I would also add corrupted and cowardly politicians. We are in worse position than China, and under full control of daddy USA, no matter what they say. If US would pull switch, it would be catastrophe for the EU.

Even the premier EU companies such as ASML are heavily reliant on US supply chain.

But why can't we be bitter?

Also they are anti EU and NATO. Lot of astroturfing here.
