Anthropic holds the SLA/MSA agreements not this bad actors what happens to your data is unknown if these become frequent and accepted. Given how much data is piped to Claude code via these services/extensions.

So I honestly think they should be under heavy govt regulations or be co-owned by everyone in the supply chain. Or firm regulated to avoid overcharging for useless stuff, everyone loses out including these companies as in needing to compete with eachother they have to offer dozens of benefits offers etc to customers, and customers get shafted when they are the most desperate because making money from the desperate is the best money making formula in the valley atm.

I am considering reverse engineering the entire thing, I honestly don't know if that's worth it given I can connect an rpi to the system and get everything done via my own app now.

And keeping printer off of wifi networks was the best decision I ever made imho. Either way printers suck, but I like them so much as a technology, converting digital to physical is such a great thing.

But if you are telling me I am wasting like a good 10-20% of my tokens on summaries I might as well stop using your service, worst part is claude doesn't let you use something else.

Their Argon limits are the real issue, Flash is ok, but honestly compared to Clause's limits they are all horrid, OpenAI is the next best option if you want Astra, otherwise suck it up and send money to DeepSeek or find a provider for it for cheap.

If it happens 10 times you have already accepted the same cost as the entire session fresh prefill.

People on HN are either too rich or wayyy too rich

Sure if you are building the newer rendering pipelines DirectX 11 leaves a lot on the table but it brought a lot of nice things with it, Debug Runtime alone was worth moving to it, 99/100 times your app written in DirectX 11 even if not optimised properly will perform better than DirectX 9 in my experience.

This holds with OpenGL though the modern OpenGL 4.6 and stuff wasn't bad, but it's a lot of cruft still.

Either way there are no perfect APIs, a truly general purpose API that just gives you basics like Texture handling and io and data mapping would be enough today imho. Fully general purpose compute APIs are the solution with some additional tweaks to make graphics stuff convenient. IMHO

Though it's definitely much harder than plain and simple paint colors and textures on vertices & geometry uv approach of old.

I find this issue small but the choice of these companies to pick the convenient location for them to build a data center concerning, and govts shouldn't be bending over. If these things can be built in space we can build them in places where no one lives and no living being is harmed or logged.. cough.

This entire RCE race is always annoying.

Like did someone vibe code too hard, how do env secrets leak for everyone...

Somehow Meta is making money despite starting to loose DAUs now. So honestly I don't quite understand what's what, also most of the big income is from Ads and biggest Ads spenders are startups and companies heavily dependent on VCs and AI... So it's definitely somewhat circular, and Ads is the most recession affected business so a down turn in markets will cycle through it.

But ngl if all the earnings are this ok then hyperscalers stock might not crash this quarter, well then again I didn't think they would but a person could dream.

I am quite bullish on AI, but would prefer the fluff to get out of the way asap, otherwise don't want it to happen at a bad time, and too many people get caught pants down.

Any suggestions folks, not even my terminally online self can handle all of these.

I think people don't realize the Salesforce SAP Palantir would love to ship these models, and they have/are shipping them.

The threat of exfilteration of data via these models is high but it's nowhere near as high as the margins.

For instance if you could cut your ai input bill by over 90% would you do it? Can you put some of that extra margin say 10-20% to make it more secure.

I know of atleast 10 fortune 500 companies that are entirely planning to or have moved to Chinese models for a large portion of their work.

It's insane people in finance are delusional enough to think that won't happen.

Maybe Govt will try to de-risk with bans on using open models but I don't think that's going to work at scale, people will literally spawn labs to launder DeepSeek/GLM models into a US model by some novel training etc approach or something.

I still don't think that it's as much a kami-kaze rather it's an attempt to normalize the world around the Chinese stack.

If DeepInfer is supported by everyone, it will be much easier to export stuff aka hardware that only supports it for now or is optimized for it.

Assume china starts selling hyper optimized Asics for inference at some point.

This feels like a race to the bottom as soon as possible because they have much lower costs, if there is a Wipeout in AI Labs in US chinese labs are largely insulated, and they can hopefully buy Nvidia chips for cheap if that does happen.
