Well, Musk v OpenAI kicks off in one week from now with the objective of forcing them back to their roots. A jury will be deciding whether a nonprofit accepting $50m - $100m of donations and then discarding their mission for an IPO is OK or not. Should be interesting.

Designs have been settling on a local maxima. If you are aware of a better hill to be climbed, please do let everyone know.

It can write (some) code that works. Just roughly guessing from my use, but I think of it as being a bit like ChatGPT circa-2024 in terms of capability & speed.

Disappointing if you compare it to anything else from 2026, but fairly impressive for something that can run locally at an OK speed.

These are speed bumps for you but they make it nearly impossible for something to go mainstream, so rest assured they work extremely well on others.

Suspicion is in the eye of the beholder.

Really cool! Is this using a Google API? How is it not costing a small fortune?

Really nice. Bookmarked it. Thank you for making it!

They will always be training new models, so if training is expensive, that's just part of the business they are in.

Vast amounts of capital have been poured in, but they continue to raise more. Presumably because they need more.

Is the capital being invested without any expectation of ROI?

Reminds me of Facebook's memories feature which used to say: "<name>, we care about you and the memories you share here."

For an app to suggest a personal relationship with you is ridiculous.

Yeah this one is a classic: https://youtu.be/8OzZxjqKG10

Is harm necessary to show in a copyright infringement case?

Copyright infringement causes harm, so if there's no harm there's no infringement. You can freely duplicate GFDLed material, so downloading it isn't an infringement. If training a model on that downloaded material is fair use then there's no infringement.
