From these selected benchmarks, it looks like it smokes Luna capability-wise. Excited to put it through its paces

Agreed!

And I genuinely hope there will be some categories of games/music/books/art where human input is still needed and preferred. Currently I'm already a handful of bulletpoints down on the list of stuff I thought AI would never be able to do, and it's been kind of destabilizing

You may be right, at the same time a lot of "AI will never solve X" takes have aged pretty poorly, and I'm not confident what's fun about existing games cannot be codified and shown statistically somehow. Some genres seem more accessible to AI than others

For anyone getting a 403, it's US only right now and fails rather ungracefully. I just tried out a few games, framerates where strange/choppy, even in a match 3 game, and the games I tried were quite bad overall. I'm sure this type of thing will get good very soon though

> thanks for the classic European condescension.

This is such a strange statement about a massively culturally diverse part of the world.

Many European countries speak such poor English that it'd be a miracle if they developed some sort of unified condescension.

I'd argue a big part of Europe not performing as well as other parts of the world economically is the LACK of any defined culture, it's really more like a hodgepodge of countries that have a thin layer of cooperation

Love this

Incredible model. I don't see why they can't just include the recommended workstyle as a guided approach into the claude code harness though, and let the people who want to diverge just ignore it

Yes, the kitchen safes are great!

I assume you're on an iPhone if blocking is weak? Have you tried iMazing?

On my pixel the blocking is quite hardcore, it's more about managing when access should be allowed for special circumstances

Straight to the point! I've got a very addictive personality, so I'd need to block installations as well for the bad days

This line of hypocrisy-bashing is unhelpful and will only serve to keep people quiet. Of course people in general need to be wealthy to dare speak out against powerful systems and people, especially in the US where money determines your quality of life so strongly.

Would I respect a martyr who sacrificed their financial security to do this more? Of course. But it's important to applaud people speaking out on important topics

https://muse.ai/deviceterms "If your Muse subscription terminates or expires, your Muse Device will cease to function as described in these Device Terms and the device documentation. The device's capabilities will be unavailable until an active subscription is restored."

https://gadgets.muse.ai/home-link "Muse Home Link itself only runs official firmware and can’t be reflashed"

You only addressed half of it. I'm with you that the code is open source, but it's an open source client for Meta's proprietary service. The one original piece of hardware on this "Open source hardware for your Muse" page, the Home Link, only works with an active subscription. And the "grassroots" part is clearly larpy: a "by hackers, for hackers" voice in a Meta incubator repo.

The larping as a grassroots/open source product is really off-putting. The only reason anyone would use this is that its "free" and comes with preloaded prompts for non-technical people.

No thanks.

Agreed. None of what they have shown seems to offer any substantial long term value

Still haven't seen a killer use case for these solutions.

For now, coding is the only thing I ever use LLMs for

Venture capital doesn't want to pay for our tokens anymore, it seems

They're really (finally?) starting to behave like a company bleeding money.

Our VC-backed subscription days are numbered

Impressive improvements, but GPT 6 Sol came out 7 days ago, and this one will behave differently. The panicked pace is becoming a liability, maybe they should have waited and released this as the 6.0 release

Yeah seems unlikely we'll be without at least a baseline level of AI unless we entirely run out of energy and components

I just had opus make me a tts mobile app that grabs the top 20 HN stories and the top 5 comments for each and read them out to me (using one of the higher quality built in TTS voices on my pixel). The summarization is the worst part of this imo, so pure TTS wins

Where do you run sonnet/opus where you are limited to 128k, given they are both 1M context window models?

This was a fun read. Reminiscent of all the "I have bitcoin on a hard drive I misplaced" stories

Agreed.

I'm genuinely worried about all our short term investment in mitigating the failure modes of models that may only be SOTA for a few months.

It's very possible people being 'late' adopting AI may end up with a leg up, not only because they spent more time polishing personal skills during this time, but also because they don't bring all the baggage of 'AI competence' that is becoming irrelevant at breakneck speed.

You're not the first to try to build something on the basis of lying by omission, but I will say, it's pretty bleak

I'd encourage chronicling the effort you put in and be transparent about the methods. If you want your AI art to reach proper recognition, the different type of effort needs to be shown

Perhaps an LLM can help with the distinction. I'm at a loss helping with this, which feels a little meta

Utilizing a friends' expertise vs outsourcing effort to them

Your examples seem fitting for a text. Simple factual queries with not intention of connection are different

Side note but your ending question triggered all my LLM prose engagement bait warning alarms

Texting your friends for factual information doesn't seem reasonable to me. If I got that text and someone only wanted the info I'd be annoyed (and I had friends who genuinely did this pre-google. Still annoying).

I'm with you on the pub observation though
