GLM 5.2 is better and cheaper. Maybe they are trying to embarrass Trump by making it look like we are losing to China.

Cursor will definitely win the enterprise for coding. Enterprises aren't going to trust a TUI

AA-Omniscience Hallucination Rate (lower is better) measures how often the model answers incorrectly when it should have refused or admitted to not knowing the answer. It is defined as the proportion of incorrect answers out of all non-correct responses, i.e. incorrect / (incorrect + partial answers + not attempted).

Grok 4.2 which was just released in the API just benched the best at this benchmark.

I don't see the problem with this. The chatbot is the most important part of Grok, so it makes sense Elon would be dogfooding it then providing suggestions.. He wants it to be truthful... It was shown on benchmarks recently that it hallucinates the least...

Please, keep telling people that. For my sake. Keep the world asleep as I take advantage of this technology which is literally General Artificial Intelligence that I can apply towards increasing my power.

In general, the vulnerability of our computers is major national security concern as we enter in the era of AGI. This administration needs to setup a system hardening commission. In the era of AI... if we aren't using the leading AI to hack our own systems first, then when the capability to use the latest models to hack is widely available, we are going to have a bad time.

It is suffering from DDOS attack. People are already politicizing it trying to blame Iran.

I've found cannabis to be extremely helpful. It adds a tinge of paranoia - so if you're paranoid about not reaching your potential, it can kick you into gear.

It's truly not a fair fight. There are literally trillions of dollars being spent to hijack our attention

gaming consoles were pro-social when you had split screens, a thing of the past

This is literally my childhood / teenage years, and I was born in the 90s. Seems like everything changed when our dopamine systems were highjacked by handheld screens. Started to see the first glimpses of this, everyone crowding around my IPod in shop class to watch a crazy Aphex Twin music video I put on it, or even watching a movie on the Ipod, hooked up to my car speakers with my gf sitting in the school parking lot

After very close review and comparison of the pixels of sharp photos, I've found high quality JPG to be superior to TIFF. JPG captures slightly more detail, at least with my Epson DS-560 duplex scanner @ 600dpi.

Does anyone know of a scanner that does better than 600dpi that isn't insanely expensive? High quality photos can have extreme details that 600 dpi can't capture.
