OpenAI's Orion (GPT 5/Next) is partially trained on synthetic data generated with a large version of o1. Which means if that works the data scarcity issue is more or less solved.

The average person doesn't know what a DNS is and isn't willing to pay for a VPN. Society isn't a tech bubble.

The US is in no position to critique other countries' checks and balances right now with how the Supreme Court works

Okay, but this isn't about privacy since Telegram isn't even end to end encrypted by default where it matters.

What happens then? They leave a vacuum and then what? Noone fills that vacuum? Assuming there is zero competence in the EU, which is highly unlikely since both the best image generation model right now and very respectable open source llms are from the EU, and on top of this several countries in Europe have exceptional tech talent (especially in the East), the Chinese would jump in immidiately.

This is about identity theft like selling credit card details, meth and child porn (telegram deletes 60 thousand such groups. Per month. It's a shitpile that attracts flies, evidently)

Hey, get away with your facts and logic. It distracts from OP's agenda.

It's not targeted at farmers clearly. The page literally says the xl version is for a family of four

Schnell is definitely worse in quality, although still impressive (it gets text right). Dev is the really good one that arguably outperforms the new Midjourney 6.1

This makes no sense. Benchmarking code is easier than natural language and Mistral has separate benchmarks for prominent languages.

I think I've only ever seen a single incorrect answer from Perplexity and I've probably made a thousand searches so far. It's very reliable

Great explanation for the type of person to think the Gaza conflict started on October 7th 2023.

> The Georgian allegations of a Russian invasion were supported, inter alia, by claims of illegal entry into South Ossetia of a large number of Russian troops and armour, prior to the commencement of the Georgian operation. According to Georgian answers to the Mission´s questions, the process of building-up of Russian forces in South Ossetia had started in early July 2008, continued in the course of August and included troops and medical personnel, tents, armoured vehicles, tanks, self-propelled artillery and artillery guns

(From your source)

Tskhinvali is in Georgia by the way. I think that says it all.

For context, Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 and still occupies a fifth of the country today.

Oh, absolutely. Never heard of the LinkedIn scraping lawsuit before? They are totally willing to throw their lawyers at you for using the platform in a way it's not intended to be used in

Out of the links in the footer:

- Painkiller Ideas and Replyguy both use Azure DNS and Microsoft hosting which means the footer probably contains the creators' other projects

- while stealth.marketing is hosted very differently, it uses partially the same and partially very similar CSS

- stealth.marketing says it's "powered by reddit" with the reddit logo which I'm sure the Reddit PR department will absolutely hate when finding out, given they ruin the platform (probably not even using the API)

Looks like there's an easy way to make this all collapse

Does this break the OpenAI terms of service? Or whatever other API they query?

They are gonna get sued if they try this on LinkedIn or Tiktok for sure. Circumventing those captchas (everyone who's tried scraping Tiktok before knows what I'm talking about, even in headed environments) is almost certainly illegal.

I think so too. Talking about monopoly and then participating in advancing a de-facto monopoly (Chromium on Android and Chromium on Windows)
