The problem with the regulation it's that it made safer for TV and clubs sign sponsor/ads. So after regulation the ads got insane.

Another problem, at least here in Brazil, it's just it created a bubble in ad market. TV, soccer clubs are all betting. Nothing more. Even news channels have betting ads.

This imo totally distort the ad market, and you have companies with smaller capital (like retail) or younger companies who can't compete with bet money. This hurts real economy SO bad.

Cimed (Brazilian pharma) CEO just said today that he is going to sponsor soccer clubs now.

Let alone how it made a lot of people in debt, and this is hurting consumption a lot. The retail market was heavily favorable to the ban because of this.

Oh, there's also "cartels" like PCC and CV that are involved with it.

Worth to point out it's a "Provisional Measure". Basically a decree with law power as soon as President signs it. But congress need to vote in the next 6 months or else it it goes null.

The congress (and justice) it's where lobby power is right now, so it will be a very problematic long months...

If you ever tell you use AI on BlueSky, they will put your account on a list to be "shadowbanned" basically.

Are you really comparing chatbot to agentic/code work?

Why is Luna not free on OpenRouter? :)

The reasoning levels are the same as GLM 5.3. GLM 5.3 is still not open...

I believe it's GLM 5.3 Flash or Air.

Just a warning, this is on Opus. There's not a clear harness winner. It will change depending on the models.

I just started testing, but didn't figured out if it already support MCP/plugins? It seems it can already use Deepseek search if it uses official API, but what about custom providers? Can we use together with MCPs like tavily?

That's also using AI :).

ChatGPT already competes with Google...

Luna is not bad, but... you feel is a small model. It have less knowledge. It's ok for purely agentic stuff (web searching etc).

If you just want to know "When it's the next full moon", yes. Very bad as google can answer in 1s.

There was already thinking in free model though. They removed the option a while ago and made it automatic... But you could force by just saying "think hard" or whatever.

OpenAI can't even build Codex app (not cli) for Linux... I thought code was solved?!

Ironically it's Electron BS, so actually, Sol could probably build itself...

There is a ton of vertical dramas now (Duanju) made purely of AI. Even on chinese streaming services you find it.

That might change on the country. At least here in Brazil, all logins require some sorth of MFA.

This changes by banks, some send code to our phone number (thought WhatsApp or SMS), others send SMS+email + face ID. All of them require at least the face ID. Some biggest banks requires you to go to ATM to authorize app access. You insert your card, password and authorize there.

There's Mercado Pago, which supports passkeys and standard MFA too. So you can store on bitwarden even.

I really like it, especially how it can easily get search from Codex/Gemini/etc.

Yes? And even for simple interactions, they use SVG by default.

One of my tests to see if "we are there", it's to ask a list of mayors from my city. Sounds silly, but most models just create random mayors that never existed.

Without search, of course. In theory this should be easy, because clearly the Wikipedia data it's in the model.
