"OpenAI hacked Australian government website" - fixed the title. I'm tired of people acting like these things are "agents" in the true sense of the word. If OpenAI unleashes a thing that has the potential to hack an entity, then OpenAI is culpable, not the "agent".

Claude 5 really is extremely unpleasant to chat with. I find myself asking “who are you talking to?” A lot. Then I remember it’s a robot.

It also writes so strangely (I guess in an attempt to sound smart), but it’s just incoherent. Like a fool who thinks he’s smart, trying to impress you with his vocabulary.

That is the perfect description. malware! What is sad is that there is no going back from this. Now that we know that they do this, I'll never believe they aren't doing it in other domains, or won't extend it to other domains in the future. This is probably the worst thing they could have possibly ever done for trust.

These things are like encyclopedias or dictionaries that can speak in first person… Imagine if your encyclopedia tried to hide entries from you, just absurd!

So Fable will intentionally lie to you and give you incorrect outputs, if it doesn’t like what you’re asking. Got it.

The hugging face demo site doesn't seem to work with any of the examples. It returns an error in every case.

What does swiping left mean? I may not want to collab with someone for a particular project but that doesn’t mean I never want to see their profile again. Also swiping left feels like rejecting them. What if I’m just browsing the artists? I don’t want to be rejecting while I’m browsing options.

Also why am I limited to my area? I want to be able to collaborate digitally. I don’t need to be in close proximity to do that. I ran out of people in my area after 2 left swipes.

I would like to just click on the genre of artist I want, hear a sample of their work and then be able to message and favorite the ones I like.

Why is this faster than running llama.cpp main directly? I’m getting 7 tokens/ sec with this. But 2 with llama.cpp by itself

That gdp graph doesn’t show what you seem to think it does. For one, you can’t separate the UK from Europe, since the UK being situated in Europe traded the refined goods from produced by the raw materials found in their colonies and produced by their slaves with the rest of Europe. So we should expect it’s trading partners GDP also rise along with it. Even if they didn’t directly participate in the slave trade at the time (Germany). OPs comment is not “self evidently incorrect” in the least bit.

Let’s pretend that it’s true. Now what? Let me guess Europeans magically will have the best “behavior”?

That’s all we’re talking about here isn’t it?

Once again, no evidence. Just stating it’s true and obvious. But let’s test it. Are you referring to people like say Papua New Guineans who have very large amounts of Neanderthal (4%) and (6%) Denisovan dna ? Or are you maybe talking about Europeans which have less (1 - 2%)? Also can you tell us the exact behavioral differences that are so obvious from people with less than 2% Neanderthal dna?

> The large differences in human behavior are a direct result of these varying ancient populations.

That’s a very strong claim without any evidence. Not only that, it’s the kind of claim that you could never have evidence for. It’s purely speculation on your part.
