Cant wait some open model guys doing the check on this work from the security point of view.

I think it would be enough to ban high fructose corn syrup.

Not only that but high intakes of added sugars and fast-acting, high-glycemic carbohydrates are linked to an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Excess simple sugars, particularly fructose and sucrose, promote insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and vascular damage that impair brain function and accelerate neurodegeneration. So with other words, you diet is a major contributing factor here. The medical establishment and big pharma simple ignores the fact that the biggest health risk for a human being is the "modern" high sugar diet that Kellogs introduced in the US and spread to the western world (even to Asia at some extent).

Because it is worse? It is optimized for token maxing, this time the output tokens are maximized.

I am pretty sure that stakeholder capitalism has an answer to this that might not be aligned with the ecology of Earth or what the meat consumers see as the right answer.

Beef & dairy the industrial way drive this. Several studies and decade long experiments show the positive impact of the non-industrial alternatives.

Imagine that you need to explain to a type II alien that your species still burns things.

I wish there was a source of energy that has 100-1000x energy density compare to other sources and it is controllable so capacity factory is close to 100. Ohh wait.

Yeah Opus 4.8 / GPT 5.5 what I use. Fable is okish, the coding experience is a bit weird with it.

I am not sure about GPT-5.6. It usually 10x more verbose for no apparent reason than GPT-5.5. Maybe it is only me.

Well not in a sense you might think.

Yes I used it when Confluence had a bug and an account with got stuck and there was no way to delete my account of finish the registration. So I issued a GDPR delete request and re-created the account. tada.wav

I mean workflows. Gdocs is disastrous in many scenarios. I think document management should be more like software version management with a nice ui. Editing the content (what it has) vs editing the template (how it looks). Markdown + a typst template gets you far. I have exactly that for my docs and it works very well. Not sure yet about how a decent size company could adopt anything like that.
