So not for real time applications?

Still very interesting, thank you for the information!

Maybe they have, but I would suggest against it.

Never been diagnosed. Been to many therapists and psychiatrists.

I've been diagnosed with depression several times, but never anything spicier.

I'm just strange I guess.

Sorry for stating something so obvious. I'll comment less from now on.

If we're counting, the USA was already pretty deep in the hole. Anybody that has experienced crippling debt understands there's a point of no return where you just embrace it.

And that point is right before rock bottom.

Funny joke,

But for real, obviously we all know people use agents to pick restaurants and that's a legit vector.

I agree it's not the biggest surface, but it's worth knowing imdo

If you gave me an agent that succeeded 50% of tasks I gave it, I could take over the world in a week. Faster if I wasn't so lazy.

I think you're overestimating, or oversimplifying. Maybe both.

There are lots of free LLMs, but you (often) pay for the good ones.

Well put, but I don't like it. Though, I've seen this exact pattern multiple times now.

Why? Good anxiety or bad?

I've got a gfx device crash that only happens on switch. Not Xbox, ps4, steam, epic, or anything. Only switch.

Opus hasn't been able to fix it. I haven't been able to fix it. Maybe mythos can idk, but I'll be surprised.

This sounds good, I look forward to experimenting with it.

I'm wondering this too. That said, I know a few people in real life who prefer Codex. More who prefer Claude though.

>A recurring experience: I say something explicit, the other person hears something implicit.

I've experienced this my entire life and have all but given up trying to have actual conversations with people.
