Why was the rate of change so huge? And the changes so deep? These roguelikes particularly tend to be stable, almost frozen - at least in terms of mechanics.-

One can't ever get enough nethack andit feels like a BBS. What's not to like?

It would be one heck of a challenge, but, almost by definition "impossible" - as a naive guess, perhaps (for those platforms that have opened code) characterize some statistical signatures that "arbitrary data" ran through it (simulating user activity) would show ...

... and then check for those (or, counterexamples) in the wild.-

As a thought exercise, could it be captured?

This, intuitively, feels like a "lower level, basal, reflex" layer for the LLM's intellection.-

The whole thing is taking on a "gangsta" flair. We are in the drive-by shooting, 'shot the beef in public' phase. Only with global connotations.-

PS. Thinking about it, "Google Gangsta" does have a ring. Gives "Big G" a whole new dimension.-

And, it better show something lest it ends the way Google Reader, Google Podcast, Google Assistant or Google Wave did: In the Google Graveyard. Now, the Google AGI Graveyard.-

If fact, Google Wave as that inter-agent message board "peers" have been asking for is begining to look pretty good ...

Sensible.-

AGENTS.md is the new autoexec.bat.-

- https://systemd.io/ is full of documentation.-

This one was more "fly by night" than "stealth" :)

We got drive-by modelled.-

Agree totally on Ox Alpha. It felt like pre-castration Fable.-

AKA:

Union Alpha (on OpenRouter) stealth/union-alpha

Union Alpha is a multimodal model built for research, coding, and agentic workflows, while delivering frontier-level performance across a broad range of general-purpose tasks.

Union Alpha was a stealth model, revealed to be Pareto by Unbiased. OpenRouter routed requests to it and was not its developer, owner, or provider. Prompts and completions may be retained by the provider but are not used for training; all other use is governed by the Stealth Model Terms. The free stealth period has ended; use Pareto at https://openrouter.ai/unbiased/pareto.

Input $2.50 / Mtok Cached input $0.25 / Mtok Output $7.50 / Mtok"

... or months.-

Quite the model I found this one to be. Disappointed when the trial ended.-

PS: It would be ground breaking if it turns out to have been using Chinese chips for inference, like Stealth Ox Alpha. Unlikely though.-

There's also a neat shm library by that name. Namespace's getting crowded :)

Great find.-

Finally! You win the Internet today good sir! (At least as far as I am concerned :)

I asked it if the 2028 US presidential election would be won ... and it said yes at a 51% likelyhood.-

Entirely correct.-

(Nowadays any of those need to fit in an "agent dropped all tables. Apologized" moment.-)

This would be horrendous if it weren't so true.-

This thing is a-ma-zing. It is truly a wonder. It is something to behold. The "Disruptor" pattern.-

Hardware RSI sure sounds nice.-
