OP and you are obviously on different end of the spectrum. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle.

Now you have 2 problems. That freaking thing is a memory hog in itself and guess why - ELECTRON.

I laughed and cried at this comment. It's so uncannily EU. Just spent 18 months landing an EU enterprise contract. Signed today and sent it back and got an automated message 'sorry will be on vacation til end of July...' This is the fourth vacation emails I got since corresponding with this contact window for the past 1 year.

DeepSeek will just wing it and tell you it's done only for you to find 1 major + 3 edge case bugs.

another ditto from me, albeit anecdotal again. Railway dev teams play fast and loose with sprinkles of vibe coding everywhere on top. There's 'oops yea bear with us we are still a startup' and then there's railway.

you are taking this too literally. try to see it as proxy for questions like 'will i get my wallet back from uber drive' or 'will my purse be snatched by street scooters'

ha even better on /r/localllm husbands are scratching their head why their wives and kids just won't use their local chatgpt. It's fast and i bought 4 5090 for this why won't they use it!

Brothers, maybe they don't want you to see all their private chats with AI?

I always tell people this - that Palantir is just IBM. Instant hate feedbacks from both left and right.

Left: They kill babies and have your poop data.

Right: They are so much more than that. That have super intelligence AI with drone puppetry. Have you seen the leaked dashboards!

and that's okay. so we judge them one decision at a time. So far, Anthropic is good in my book.

puppymaster — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 12:21:25 +0000

several of my friends named their chatgpt 'Amanda' or 'George' because they talked about real mental issues with it. I don't see them moving to another platform because that's essentially asking them to leave their 'best friend/therapist'.

yea so they dont want to include agents.md and that's perfectly fine with me.

interesting. they have been pretty receptive to my pull comments and discourse on issues. To each's anecdote I suppose.

Regardless of how Apple will solve this, please just solve it. Siri is borderline useless these days.

> Will it rain today? Please unlock your iphone for that

> Any new messages from Chris? You will need to unlock your iphone for that

> Please play youtube music Playing youtube music... please open youtube music app to do that

All settings and permission granted. Utterly painful.

There's that and then there are companies spending 100k on a software suite just to use that 2 features. So now one of their junior dev solves it and becomes a hero. The truth it always somewhere in the middle.

also given the psychology field research replication crisis, I would wait to see if this research can be replicated down the road.

New comment by puppymaster in "AMD signs AI chip-supply deal with OpenAI, gives it option to take a 10% stake"

puppymaster — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 23:53:54 +0000

i dont see dotcom technologies replacing droves of workers and creating panics in /r/screenwriters, /r/3dmodelers etc. The displacement is real and we are not going back. Dotcom tech created fake problems so their 'advance technology solution' can be presented as solution. With AI wave, it's the opposite - business heads are actually thinking 'what other real problems can i solve with AI'. OpenAi and Claude don't even have to do any preaching. That's real value.
