Likely won't improve much. They trained on every text already.

Adults should have the freedom to gamble if they feel like gambling. I don't like the government trying to daddy me. If I want to blow my money on some stupid bet that is my problem. As long as the rules are clear and fair then it should absolutely be legal. CNN not disclosing is bad, but that has nothing to do with gambling in general.

Where is the direct English translation? I don't care about anything else.

Good point, I didn't consider that.

Companies should just stop providing AI to police states like Germany. Apparently their citizens believe anything they read.

First comment that makes sense. Of course AI needs to be verified. Of course it gives bs answers. The answer is to educate the public not try to daddy then. I hope AI is completely banned from Germany for their protection since apparently their government doesn't believe its people know how to question AI.

Yeah I noticed that too. For 98% of tasks I get same results with DeepSeek, it is starting to just be a branding game. It is incredible how marketing can get someone to pay 100x for same thing you can get for 1x.

This is why Claude Code just doesn't make sense to me. I need an agent that can plan using Opus and execute using DeepSeek or something else.

This exactly the issue. Anyone with common sense knows that social media have many negative effects, attention span, negative beliefs and ideas, addiction, etc. Just like inhaling smoke into your lungs can't be healthy right? But then comes so called scientist who say well since we thought the the universe was Euclidean but now we see it is non-Euclidean what is common sense is not common sense, there is no common sense. We need some sort of impossible proof to what was originally common sense.

this is why science credibility is going down, what we call science is abused. This is like saying smoking has no evidence it causes harm.

The past making quality clothing was difficult, cutting it right, sourcing the right patterns designs materials, stitching it took care etc. In our world making quality clothing should be easy with all the technology but what we see in bad quality that you wash a few times and it is trash. It is uglier designs than in the past etc. It makes no sense. It is like a conspiracy where people don't want to sell quality clothes at a fair price. Like all companies got together and decided we will sell crap clothes at cheap prices and good clothes at extortion prices. There is zero correlation with actual costs.

I get similar results for deepseek and opus but opus is way faster. I guess deepseek streams thinking and makes it slower?

A lot of people don't understand that creating a startup is not about having the best product in the market. It is about convincing people to part with their money and give it to them to control and gain power with, through having people work on what you want them to work on. Only requirement is you create a story of why they should give you money. Even if it is the dumbest idea and you will be lose all it in 3 years. If you can tell a convincing story you will still make yourself and your friends super rich.

pretty soon we won't be reading books or emails. We have have AI filters. Maybe we won't even be reading our friends or partners message either, mostly fluff anyways?

The irony no one is talking about: AI makes quality code worse. Was bad enough already so imagine it now. I am expecting many more services to drop from 3 nines to 1 nine.
