<p>There is the potential for a solid piece of artwork here, ie. at what point does a string of words become an artistic product.<p>Imagine a slot machine in a gallery that produces a 4 word sentence. Visitors press the button, and the artist copies the 4 words onto a piece of paper and puts it on the wall.<p>EDIT: my point being that causing a machine to generate words doesn’t give you copyright over the words but if you then do something with the words they become your work.</p>

<p>> In other parts of the world, they are basically incomprehensible, but fun!<p>For some reason unknown to either of us it really pisses off my wife when I refer to our IKEA furniture by the Swedish names. I think it stems from a deep seated disdain she has for flat pack furniture.<p>Me: where’s the thing?<p>Wife: in the white cupboard<p>Me: which white cupboard? There are 6<p>Wife: the white cupboard opposite the piano<p>Me: the Brimnes?<p>Wife: >.<</p>

<p>No way is it less capable. When deepseek can't get its shit together, I give Luna a go, then Terra, then Sol.<p>Most of the time Luna figures it out where Deepseek was failing. I rarely have to go to Sol levels.</p>

<p>I have been using deepseek v4 pro almost exclusively. I was using Kimi a lot but it just nose dived. The decline started with the release of 2.7 and accelerated with the release of 3.<p>When I need vision capabilities I use GPT 5.3 codex and if deepseek can’t figure something out after a few goes I switch to GTP 5.5 or 5.6 (I’ve been giving Terra first bite recently and it does pretty well, and have used Sol a couple of times).<p>Using this regimen means I spend under $100 per month on inference and I work all day everyday with multiple agents running simultaneously all on API token spend not subscriptions.</p>

<p>Well I have spent a LOT of time working with these devices, and I took a look through the website, and I didn’t see anything that looked wrong.<p>But not exhaustively no, because why would I? it’s just the first google result for ”openstick”.<p>It’s a pretty cool project with a cult following. If you’re interested you could spend years working with the same devices and then verify the information yourself.</p>
