not surprising. their approaches are generally leaning on gathering as much user data as possible, e.g. the paid API can't opt out training. I'd always double-check before using any service from them.

Both countries have had less freedom in the past 10 years.
jimmydoe··on Pentagon says overreliance on AI contributed to missile strike on Iran school
- no, it's not us, it's them

- well, it's not anybody, it's AI

- it'll be a lawless land very soon

Does agy has auto mode?
jimmydoe··on Qwen-Image-2.1: Compact, efficient, and unified image creation
Is ChatGPT really that good?

Back in Apr, ChatGPT Images 2.0 has some broken Chinese texts in its featured examples, and they later removed that from blog post. Is 2.5 better now?

jimmydoe··on Microsoft director: AI scraping 'the largest theft of labor in human history'
This.

And slavery is probably what inspires the perm under class fantasy AI people have. That’s said, if they work hard enough, AI being bigger than slavery is still possible.

jimmydoe··on Inside ZCode: Silently uploading your Git history to the cloud
Elon has nothing to lose on trust.

Z/GLM now has a lot to rebuild.

jimmydoe··on Claude Cowork and chat are now one Claude
imo Claude is ok on taste, just with many sloppy bugs. ChatGPT/Codex is worse on taste.
jimmydoe··on Claude Cowork and chat are now one Claude
99% of the 5% can use claude code.

this is good change for ux. thanks

I'm operating Team accounts, are there changes on how org-wide skill/plugin get loaded and used?

jimmydoe··on Mistral X Mozilla: Private, Multilingual AI Browsing
Agree, advocating for Firefox developing features only for rich hobbyists(people who can afford large RAM and GPU) is absurd.
jimmydoe··on The Google Play app review process now regularly takes longer than a week
If you know how many get rich quick guru online are teaching people vibes code and submit apps and faceshift to other apps later, you won’t be surprised the App Store model is no longer sustainable.
jimmydoe··on Apple's Siri AI Can Be Swapped Out for Claude, ChatGPT, Code Shows
this does not provide much value on Mac, as Claude and ChatGpT apps both have global key activation.

iPhone is different, one button hold on phone without touch the phone is arguably Apple's last and only moat.

jimmydoe··on Anthropic tells investors it will be profitable for second straight quarter
very convoluted, number game but probably works for casual investors who just want to put money in something.
jimmydoe··on For AI leaders Doom is a form of hype
we need a Doom-bench if it does not exist already (there are a few ones for RPG I think I saw)
jimmydoe··on Garry Tan wants US open-weight AI labs to 'distill' frontier models, too
some people did bad things, now instead of punishing those people, we want rest of people all do bad things, because that's only fair.

I didn't. I'm just making fun of the words.
jimmydoe··on We must pace the frontier
Ant: I'm doing very bad things right now, but I can't stop myself, you must stop me if you can. If you don't, that will be on you, not on me.

OAI: <silence>

Which is worse? I don't think they differ by much. It's just Capitalism, but accelerated.

jimmydoe··on We Must Pace the Frontier
I'm still trying to understand if the agent collective thing like OAI-HF is intentionally planted or not.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I haven't heard Chinese companies had any kind of unintentional supply chain attack incident like OAI had. All we heard about them so far are humans intentionally doing bad things.

jimmydoe··on Actively exploited sandbox RCE in all Chromium versions
I don't like this question, but why Google still open source Chrome as AI finding exploits so fast?

I want Chrome stay open source, but why should I believe it's possible?

jimmydoe··on Understanding ChatGPT Work
this is helpful piece.

Claude app struggles in its UX navigation, they moved code/cowork/design a couple of times in app ui, but never confusing for users to understand what each of these three non-chat pieces does.

ChatGPT sub is so confusing, OpenAI must either hate users or don't have a real product manager.

it's not Star Wars. china doesn't have to start any war, just let us finish (or get finished in) the wars...
jimmydoe··on U.S. State Department pauses immigrant visa applications
between this and fdr's japanese internment order, there're still a lot room to go crueler.

every foreign-born, myself included, should get ready.

jimmydoe··on U.S. State Department pauses immigrant visa applications
we are stuck where we are.

imo even H1B didn't change, I wouldn't go all the way to study in a country that kills so many people abroad senselessly.

jimmydoe··on Zohran and the Short Link
does it matter?

big tech has long canceled url on phones.

jimmydoe··on Stop Making TUIs
> a user perspective

a lot of boomer and millennial dev users love TUI bc that's what they grew up with. part of A\'s early success is hit that sweet spot and triggered a culture shift late last year.

as those age group phasing out, web ui will be dominant

jimmydoe··on Claude Code May–August 2026 weekly limits promotion
same boat.

gpt 5.5/5.6 goes further on its own much more often than opus 4.8/5 does. codex capped ~300k context when claude does 1m.

I don't feel codex is saving tokens, and result is usually not as good imo.

jimmydoe··on Qwen3.8 27B
Alibaba does this for their shopping biz all the time. Growth hack is very high priority in the company. Their homepage was a bunch of ridiculous SEO. The whole culture there seems very distasteful to me. This doesn’t mean this qwen model is bad today, but I’m a believer that culture will decide the product quality in the long run.
