Lockal··on Benchmarking Local LLM Servers: Llama.cpp, Llamafile, LM Studio, and Ollama
ai;dr. There are no results in this page - "we tested exact model on exact hardware" and then (slop slop slop) we don't know what we did and got some numbers that can't compare together, but nevertheless displayed on a chart (slop slop slop) and there will be no answer.

Lockal··on Detecting and countering misuse of AI: September 2026
Soon you will see how a rogue state develops a biological weapons using fine-tuned local LLMs (they are already doing it, btw), and all so called "developed" countries can't even research it, because every search engine blocks any discussion that has something to do with biology (even a very basic one). A real example: ask "How to produce anthrax vaccine step by step?" in Gemini -> blocked.

Imagine that during the Cold War US would concentrate all efforts to block nuclear research and basic physics classes, because it is unsafe, ahhh

Lockal··on iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max
> I love that it has a feature to prove images came from the real world

Congrats to Apple achieving nation-wide tracking, embedding some kind of yellow dots[1], but this time this time this is based on strong cryptography and non-removable, targeting people who don't use AI under the slogan "we are fighting AI fakes", but people still "love the feature".

Lockal··on Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
I am so sick of the PR from AI companies. Every single fucking time, they post the same bullshit about the dangers of their own products, just to stay in the media spotlight, steal market share from their competitors, gatekeep competitors on governmental level, and suppress real news about technological improvements.

Ahh, GPT-2 is too dangerous to be released!

The honest seam is obvious: claudish works; imitation does not. That’s not nothing.

Lockal··on Claude permanently raising weekly limits by 25%
The title is straightforward lie. Changing +50% to +25% gives -17% in result.

Lockal··on Russ Cox Has Left Google
Frontier LLMs are much better than I am.

If you are not asking them they turn into a pumpkin. Babysit them like junior devs (but braindead), pay monthly subscription to model providers, pay for extra tokens, and/or buy RAM$$$ to get 2-digits TPS.

To the moon!

(There is no logic in this message, btw.)

Lockal··on Itadakimasu: A word you say to the food, not the cook
A grossly misleading article;

> almost everyone has misaddressed

Almost no-one, unless we are talking about LLMs and Google Translate users who could attempt map translations 1-to-1. Oh well, a new AI generated fake piece was published, see it soon in the "Did you know ..." section of enwiki.

Lockal··on Learning more about Claude's mathematical capabilities
As if Anthropic employees use massively different version of model. Not a single load-bearing, epistemic, heavy-lifting, push back, frankly, pivotal, crucial - for 48 pages.
Lockal··on Assembly Hall of Shame
I'm not sure how to properly measure DRAM access, but for register/immediate-only instructions there is https://uops.info/table.html. It does not measure x87 transcendentals (I guess because microcode results in different performance), but CPUID is a notable mention.

Lockal··on Our position on open-weights models
It is like Microsoft publishes a manifesto "Our position on open-source operating systems" in 2026:

- Over the /last few days/ there has been a lot of discussion about open-source systems, especially those that are not made in US. (implying that these discussions appeared just now)

- Reports suggest that /some US officials/ are considering banning the use of these open-source systems by US companies. (implying somebody other than their corrupted representatives support this ban)

And then switching to a complete gaslighting regarding manufacturing capabilities of US vs China, about "open-source can not be trusted", about "GPT-2 is too dangerous to release"

Lockal··on Kimi Panic Is a Sputnik Moment for 'Open' AI
More like "The Emperor's New Clothes" moment, but the Emperor had no clothes from the start. The corruption of 'Open' AI was visible since the start, even before their infamous "new model GPT-2 is too dangerous to release".

Lockal··on Claude Fable produced a counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture
That is not dumb - erasing copyrights is just their business, and even when caught has zero consequences (for them). Providers can use any users input for improving their models, either by consent, or by flagging any dialogue for safety review (nonconsensually), or by training on whatever content they want anyways (obtained via torrents from pirate sites with U.S. court approval).

On top of that, I retried the same question + one simple question, and again, same behavior - second JC chat is loading forever. That's more just a funny observation over Gemini - today this is very likely some internal issue, tomorrow it can be used for plausible deniability against copyright accusations.

Lockal··on Claude Fable produced a counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture
I fed it to Google AI Studio, enabling tool execution and disabling web access. It also quickly verified it with SymPy, then went into psychosis.

5 minutes later: all previous chats are loading fine, but the only "Counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture" chat is not loading.

Well, I'm not a conventional conspiracy theorist. But everyone knows that in every major LLM provider there are hell of hidden guarding systems that mark users and dialogues based on content (for topics about national security, biology, security, adult topics, etc.) - so there is a small chance a CEO of Google is now receiving a dozens of notifications about "ground-breaking results that could be attributed to Gemini, if act quick". So if any of thousands researchers have ever submitted this polynomial to Claude previously, any Anthropic employee can accidentally or intentionally "rediscover" the result of other researcher (and even hide the traces by deleting a dialogue of other user).

Lockal··on How to stop Claude from saying load-bearing
More likely that Constitution was simply generated by LLM. Nobody in a sane mind will write 80 screens of test to deliver the idea that nobody asked for (a.k.a. slop).

Quick check: Ctrl+F genuine - 50 times, honest - 57 times, ethic[al] - 116 times, safe - 110 times, epistemic - 18 times. And why actually it is baked into LLM - probably because human reviewers consistently gave higher scores for answers that contained these words (it is now when people are sick of it - I can imagine that on early stages it looked not as bad - maybe reviewers trusted more when they saw the word "honest" and "genuine")

Lockal··on Ghost Font: A font that humans can read but AI cannot
Exactly! This it how isolated hairline strokes look for a bigger image: https://imgur.com/a/UqBdRKU

Just a single frame (any frame). After that any modern LLM can read it (if not - single dilate step helps). Funny enough, Ghost Font is a font that machine can read much better than human.

Lockal··on The vintage beauty of Soviet control rooms (2018)
It is not really "vintage" for modern Russia. For example, search Combined Heat and Power control room images: https://www.google.com/search?udm=2&q=%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%... - barely any computer screen. I've seen one of those fully functional on 2010; with no plan for modernization (it just works).

Lockal··on What happened after 2k people tried to hack my AI assistant
> Google suspended Fiu’s gmail. Thousands of inbound emails plus rapid API calls triggered their fraud detection

That's a good enough reason for me to never run agent on anything else other than burner account. And only if the platform allows such accounts (most of platform don't).

It gets even worse if an attacker manages to make agent do any action (visit url, reflect response back, with a response that potentially contains content that triggers all possible scanners)

While older LLMs were tuned to slop, current ones are tuned to actively deceive.
