It was even more 'broken' at the start. We overcame some of the issues by 'prompt engineering', which is needed less in the newer, smarter models.

Not that this benchmark is super relevant anymore but these look worse than I expected.

Now that it's a solved benchmark, can we get the 3d animated version?

Are they? Looked correct to me. At high enough speeds even real ones can look rotating either way in videos depending on fps.

It’s an additional layer of wall for their walled garden to keep the technically proficient users that are more likely to hop walls.

> zero information lost

You're just returning the name of the tool, the rest of the information (description/input schema) is definitely lost. Cut to the LLM making mistakes in calling the tool with incorrect schema or calling the wrong tools altogether, recovering, wasting tokens and cycles.

Agreed. Are there any open source alternatives for this?

You gotta admit the timing looks very suspicious.

Looks pretty blurred

Sounds like something you come up with when you think of a cool name first and then just make something that fits the name.

Why?

It’s just Occam’s razor since it specifically references “ Today, the sudden restriction of certain frontier models is deeply regrettable.” in the tweet.

Streisand effect marketing 4d chess move by Niantic?

Even more 'disquieting' when you take into account who's currently the president of US.

"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will." - Donald Trump

It does send an analytics event when you’re swearing based on a keyword filter (something like is_negative:true), presumably as a signal that the model isn’t performing well this session, but who knows?

So this is why RAM prices are through the roof. (JK, this is cool)

With hardcoded flags like “sendClaudeMessages” and “sendChatgptMessages”, they weren’t even trying to hide it.

WBD price at this moment is just $25.28. I think there are some complicated conditions associated with the terms.

If Waymos do not use local models it would be a horrible decision.

Different tax loopholes depending on region etc, but basically like this:

I’m a billionaire earning $100M this year.

I owe $40M as taxes for that. (Too much!)

I find a dumb banana painting by a starving artist.

I buy it from him for $1000.

I wait 6 months.

I go to a museum to get it appraised by “professionals”.

I pay the professional appraiser’s wife $50K as a gift.

The appraiser says the painting is now worth $30M!

Wow that’s awesome, I have such a keen eye for art.

You know what, I’m gonna donate this painting to a museum instead because I’m such a patron of art and culture.

Oh, look at that, I get a tax rebate for the value of my donated painting ($30M)

Now I only have to pay $40M - $30M = $10M in taxes on my $100M income.

There’s more nuance to it in practice, but that’s the gist of it.

Edit: For some reason I can't reply to the comments below so I'm gonna do it here.

> That wouldn't explain the price here, since in your scam the whole idea is to buy cheap and donate dear. not buy for 139M

Now we're getting in the details but it's very suspicious for an appraiser to appraise a work of art from an unknown artist at millions. But it's not that suspicious if they take Van Gogh's Starry Night which was previously appraised at $500M to now be valued at $1B. this way the deca-billionaire still gets to save his taxes while appraiser avoids suspicion.

> As far as I know, that's not how taxes work. You can't get a rebate for the amount of taxes you would have paid, you can get a deduction for the amount of money you made.

There are a lot of loopholes in the complicated tax system for the ultra-wealthy, not for us. This video (still a simple explanation in an animated way) covers a few more of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHy07B-UHkE

Don’t forget the tax savings.

Interesting they didn’t post any benchmark results - lmarena/artificial analysis etc. I would’ve thought they’d be testing it behind the scenes the same way they did with Gemini 3.

Too small for Google to care about.

The website does label some relatively harmless elements as ‘dark patterns’, but out of your ‘really bad ones’, I don’t see ‘Competition’ as being a dark pattern.

Competition is a fundamental part of Play. Humans (and other animals) are social creatures and learn via playing and competing with others.

Can people play games by themselves? Yes.

Is competitive play bad or a dark pattern? Not at all.

The top navigation definitely put me off, I immediately came back without even scrolling down.

histrionic and meretricious

Counterpoint: Humans visualize stuff in their minds before trying new things or when learning new concepts. An AI system with LLM based language center and a world model to visualize during training and inference would help it overlap more of human intelligence. Also it looks cool.

Edit: After seeing your edited (longer) comment, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Seems reductive. Some applications require higher context length or fast tokens/s. Consider it a multidimensional Pareto frontier you can optimize for.
