Why do they call it Ovaltine? The mug is round, the jar is round. They should call it Roundtine.

"Information wants to be free, but only be used by people I wholly endorse." is the motto. You'll see young people singing the praises of piracy but then use "piracy" as an excuse for hating LLMs.

Nobody is "shaming" anybody into using AI but their jobs may require use of it. It's the same as all the secretaries who found themselves having to make the jump from the typewriter to the computer.

> At no point in the next 30 years will there not be an active community of people who "loathe" AI and work to obstruct it.

I can guarantee there will be at least a few small ones, especially in the wake of the Sam Altman attacks and the "Zizian" cult. I doubt they'll be very organized and they will ultimately fail, but unfortunately at least a few people will (and have already) die(d) because of these radicals.

> Seems like it's still not theirs until a judge signs off on it.

Does that mean their use of the branding and claims of ownership could be illegal or would it be covered under the first ammendment?

Positive or negative to you? Whenever I see more than one anime-adjacent profile picture I duck out.

Google just released Gemma 4, perhaps that'd be worth a try?

Microsoft are going to be removing Opus 4.5 and 4.6 from Copilot soon so I'd enjoy the lower cost while it lasts.

I can see no other explanation for this disastrous launch other then Anthropic trying to ruin their reputation for some reason.

Anthropic's weird obsession with malware now means that Opus 4.7 checks if every file is malware, even markdown files, before working.

Not that anybody can actually use it though, as a large percentage of Copilot users are facing seemingly random multi-day rate limits.

> This coming right after a noticeable downgrade just makes me think Opus 4.7 is going to be the same Opus i was experiencing a few months ago rather than actual performance boost.

If they are indeed doing this, I wonder how long they can keep it up?
