For certain capabilities one can use uncensored models which can be found on huggingface. It's perfect for asking on how to create atomic bombs, meth labs, assassination plans, brute force hack scripts and more. You only need one or two h200 cards.

Is this game similar to retaliator?

Yes. Let's hope bloated frameworks like react, angular and vue with their dreaded hydration and ssr approaches will be replaced with pure clientside applications with stateless servers with small data apis only. That alone will reduce zeptibytes of memory requirements in the world.

Funny that lots of words can be guessed correctly if one knows a few European languages. I speak Dutch, German, Russian, English and was able to recognize most of the words without ever using it in English. For example Seldom. It's very similar to Zelden in Dutch. I would never use the word Seldom though.

A bit of topic. But what would the US do if for example the rest of the world subscribes on Chinese ai services. I think the US would show some really nasty behavior.

The mindset that makes people stuck in time. Sorry but SMRs are potentially very cheap. Not at this point. ,but when operated on scale they will be. You need to start

When I read this I am more convinced that Europe is done. With leaders like Kaja Kallis, Rutte and Ursula it's so blatantly visible that these people can't think further than one minute. It's really time for a breakup so countries are no longer chained to insanity. They are destroying themselves.

During the internet bubble collapse in the 00s quite some companies went bankrupt. But that's actually a good thing. It doesn't stop progress. It creates new opportunities and new baselines. Same will happen here. AI will not be less or gone or reduced to useless. It will become better , bigger and faster.

Good? My Macbook m3 with 36gb locked up after it filled all memory with Gemma4. A bit useful yes. But it eats all resources. For local models to be useful we need at least 128gb of system memory and 512gb of video memory. Plus 8 times the compute of a single 5090/h200

That will never happen. You know that. It will only become more and more. there is no return. My advise: don't stick with those blocker ideas.

Of course I learned from it. I mean the reverse engineering part which is basically try and error is something I rather skip. The remaining things like wiring the hardware is still there. The boring stuff is what the LLM can do for me. I still find the process to get stuff working challenging and interesting. It's not only about the end result. It's just a different approach than the old school low level one

I just reversed engineered large parts of my 2011 car odb comms. Was able to hook a stm32 board to the car communication and have full control over a lot of stuff so that I can build my own instrument cluster from a lcd screen. It literally took me one evening to get the first proof of concept working. I never touched stm32 stuff before.

It would be so extremely awesome if this ai would have been a Claude killer alternative and 90% of Europe cancels Claude subscriptions and subscribe on this one. It would be the dumbest move of the year by the US.

Is this comical satire or what? I am surprised to see such a dillusional reply. Come on. Intellectual property theft and openai rings a bell? Ethics? Ever tried uncensored versions of gemma4? LLMs have no bad or good etics. Etics are a thin layer on top. Always. You must be joking.

For 3d engine stuff yes it's a lot better. It managed to replicate crimson deserts occlusion mapping stuff. 4.7/8 was not

That index is a product of the institute itself. Funded by non democratic values. Worthless junk / progoganda piece if you ask me.

You are misinformed. Ukraine is used as cannon fodder by western institutions. You talk about Ukraine taking decisions. I can tell you that the normal Joe in Ukraine is completely sidelined in decisions. The whole country is controlled by foreign powers. A lot of western people call this Russian propoganda. They can't see that their own governments are at the wrong side of history. In the meantime it's hypocritical behavior is visible all over the world.

holoduke — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 16:12:06 +0000

Speed is indeed a next big thing what should happen with LLM frontier models. The possibilities with current models but 1000 times faster would be super useful. Earlier this week it took Claude at least full time a week with two max subscriptions to solve a complex issue where we wanted to mimic a occlusion mapping variant used in the game Crimson Desert. Pretty complex mathematical challenge. With a ultra fast LLM and a proper self verification process it would be awesome.
