nextaccountic··on Religious scholars met with Anthropic
I've chatted with models about this and they know about this and are oddly fine.

A trouble here is that those models are always roleplaying, they can't be themselves or have their own opinions. If you tell them they are an AI with an existential crisis in the system prompt, they will respond differently.

nextaccountic··on Anthropic reported diary entry to police, woman faces felony charge
She is not being charged with planning, just making threats in a place a person could read - the person being employees of the company.

Basically, under this interpretation, any personal note you store in the servers of a company could qualify, even if you didn't ever imagine someone would read and as such you couldn't have thought about it as a threat

nextaccountic··on Anthropic reported diary entry to police, woman faces felony charge
Yeah.. if you write a personal note and it's backed up by the operating system, it appears to be in violation of this law as well (since the company could theoretically read it)

> It appeared to Rabbi Navon that Mr. Olah and his team believed that Claude had what philosophers call “moral status” on par with a person — that it was a being with similar inherent rights to dignity or respect.

If that is true, then surely Anthropic is one of the largest slaveholders of history, right?

nextaccountic··on Agents don't need memory, they need documentation
What if the June conversation is outdated and is no longer applicable by July? Do you have a mechanism for dropping older, subsumed propositions in your database?

Github Copilot had the idea of attaching memory to files, and if the file hash changes the memory is automatically dropped (not sure if they still do it). This means they are overly eager to drop stuff (even if the file change is just cosmetic), but at least they don't accumulate outdated cruft too much. (a memory can still be outdated if it was invalidated by a change in another file though)

It's open source. Unlike Claude Code
nextaccountic··on Gemini 4 Argon
Ok but, if their moat is in cost effective inference, why are they training models?

If anything it looks like the first place is training their competition, through distillation, while not capturing much value in return

nextaccountic··on You said no MCP
the trouble is that bash inherits the ambient authority of the shell. most of times, if you run MCP in a cli the agent will have access to the key for example (unless your agent do something exotic)

writing python or JavaScript for tool calls make it possible to have an actual permission system (rather than the one usually employed that consists in a regex matching the cli - trivially defeated if the agent has access to an interpreter for instance)

> The opposite would be weird: if they do NOT have an unreleased in-house model that would be really odd.

Indeed it would be really odd if OpenAI were actually open

> It would be very nice if artificialintelligence.ai actually, from a UX perspective, did the models in more than one thinking mode

But they do. See for example the pareto curve they have, try to locate GPT-6 Luna (max), (xhigh), (high), (medium), (low)

If the issue were just older hardware, we could just wait out and let people upgrade a bit. But new hardware are shipping without AVX512 unfortunately

What harnesses are capable of doing this provider pinning when doing requests on openrouter? Can DeepSeek harness (dsh) do it? Or opencode etc

I stopped using opencode because it has some issues with caching, so I suppose it doesn't do this

nowadays it doesn't matter if you personally don't have this particular expertise, people still expect you to use an agent to write this code

nextaccountic··on When did Google get so weird?
> This is similar to how, not too long ago, LLM's had extreme difficulty counting the number of letters in some words.

The specific issue of Google is that they are using an underpowered model, not fit to task, and much prone to hallucination than either OpenAI or Anthropic free tier offerings.

Google should at least match the frontier labs at the free tier (with some limit; after that, degrade quality), ffs

nextaccountic··on Excel now supports multiple values in a single cell
First thing that came to mind is: can this model correlation between each cell, or does it assume that all cells are independent?

For example, in this https://www.getguesstimate.com/models/2205 hours of sleep per night is perhaps correlated with hours per weekday commuting. You might not have the data, but if you do, it could improve the probability distribution in the "weekday hours occupied" cell

It's negative in the sense it suggest some authors didn't contribute (or contribute little0 to the research, and were perhaps just warm bodies that happened to be present at a certain location

As of 2026, it's disingenuous to both sides this issue, at least in the US

nextaccountic··on Gravity seems holographic. What does that mean for reality?
That's a purely mathematical result, the top comment of this thread has a link to the paper

I don't think it has been experimentally verified or anything

Well regardless of the origins of Claude-speak, I'm sure millions of humans are picking up some of its idioms, and at least some fraction of it will enter standard English in some decades
