Holy shit, what his whole speech. Yes go watch it. There is zero way. Zero it wasn’t a Nazi salute.

Fuck, it is like the denial around Jan 6th. Those idiots we’re live streaming that shit. I watched it go down live. Now they say they weren’t violent.

We can’t have discourse when we have legit video evidence and people refuse to open their eyes and choose to deny reality

He thinks it's funny and a big joke.

When did he "shit over nazi ideology"? He mentioned multiple times he favors white supremacy, and hates "empathy", how many more clues do you need?

"Hey bro, you have a lot of money but bet you can't do a nazi salute on live television"

"You're on, bro"

I mean technically I don’t think it is airgapped. The DoD didn’t run their own cables. They run encryption devices and run their own network on top of the existing infrastructure.

Yeah but here is the thing. Say you train a Lora for a model. You then merge those weights into the open weight model.

Now prompt it for an original image, it will pretty much be able to reproduce that exact image.

You can say it is just measurements but at some point, it can just reproduce with high enough accuracy to just be seen as a copy

Given that corporations buy up any valuable IP, I personally think the answer is to abolish copyright because right now it is really only protecting the rich and corporations . Individuals have the illusion of protection but if Disney steals your shit, good luck with the pain and suffering you experience trying to win a court case against them

Abolishing copyright would make it much harder for smaller players to protect their interests. Their original work would be gobbled up by the big players, and made easily available under the umbrella of a large corporations pre-existing market share. Not a fun situation at all to be in. Especially for the little guys.

It is bullshit also because it hasn’t protected anyone. Copyright only protects massive corporations.

It gives the false sense to individuals that they are protected but they steal from individuals all the time and have the resources to define themselves from us.

They can stall in court for years to bankrupt you.

At least without copyright it puts us on equal footing

that's correct, I am against copyright in any form of sorts. I know this is unpopular, but I really can't think of a logical argument that justifies it (I have read plenty; luckily I have no decision making power). Copyright in my view is simply an obsolete concept that tries to coerce private property of scarce resources in the realm of ideas. But ideas aren't scarce, neither are digital copies. It's like private property of air.

It already happens. Instead of a book look at TikTok for example. Come up with a cool product, if it sells at all, it will be immediately counterfeited.

The issue is that copyright is only protecting massive corporations.

Did copyright helped against AI? Nope.

If copyright was eliminated, say you are a great up-and-coming filmmaker, you could go make your own marvel movie. You might break into the industry because of that. You make some one off superhero movie is far less likely to hit with an audience.

Copyright doesn’t help small individuals, it only helps corporations protect themselves against us.

The fact that the laws of the land are more accessible to people/entities with deep pockets is true across the board - it's not specifically a copyright issue.

That's an argument for scrapping all laws because the mechanics of administrating them are unequal.

I'd prefer there to focus on making access to the law more equitable rather than simply scrapping legal protections.

I think the SOTA models are good at development in general. But for some reason people want to get pissy they aren’t writing bug free code or perfect code.

Senior devs don’t write bug free code. I don’t expect bug free code from my agents. I expect things to be missed.

That was true a year ago but is no longer true. Deepseek is training and running inference on Huawei chips.

The times of China needing Nvidia chips is quickly coming to an end.

I guarantee that China will scale faster, build faster, and ultimately produce far more chips than the rest of the world combined in 5 years.

Our export controls sank the west. It would have been better to allow them to use Nvidia chips. Now they will have chip fabs that aren’t quiet as good but way more of them. Their investment into sustainable will make the power so cheap that the less efficient chips will not be a relevant issue

I do not agree. Fable is the only model I can leave unattended and give me results for part of my work which is just devops related tasking.

I can hand hold opus but I would rather just ask fable to do it and give me the result that I review and works. Opus will waste tokens and still require me to help nudge it in the right directions.

I think the next gen models from china will put us in a spot that the cost can plummet and I won’t need the Sota from anthropic

I second the parent comment. 5.6 sol xhigh is not only better than fable I can also run it forever without worrying about limits. The frontend has gotten much better too with the plugins that come with codex.

Agreed. I have the highest individual plan for both. I run out of Fable credits midweek, while I usually have some credit with Chatgpt left despite it having to carry Fables load for the second half of the week.

Also, Sol doesn't refuse constantly and speaks like an engineer rather than a deranged academic.

Opus 5 is legitimately terrible and can't or won't follow instructions. It is of negative utility and does more harm than good to my codebase.

OP5 will do long running work, you just have to make it write a plan.

And - trick - give it a little cli so it can run Codex if you have them both.

Let it do codex to do the bulk of the work, get a OP5 sub-agent to audit the work of the codex worker.

Just let Op5 manage and have 'specific oversight.

You can run for 2 days on 1 context window in the manager, the advantage is that it will stick to a broad plan.

It's kind of funny you describe it that way. I'm literally doing the exact opposite, which is why I have both.

I have Sol xhigh drive Claude via tmux and I get amazing results until I run out of Fable. Then Opus comes in and starts acting like some sort of autistic academic with OCD.

It tries as hard as Fable, but isn't smart enough to do it well. It starts designing ever more elaborate tests, frameworks, and procedures while making up rules for itself and piling them on top of each other until nothing gets done. It's the ultimate bureaucrat.

Worse - More than once it's spent days in a loop because it invented constraints for itself that it couldn't satisfy then lied and told Sol that the user imposed those limitations. I don't know if it's actively avoiding real work, or just isn't capable enough to work the guardrails that were obviously forced into it.

'Loops' are the hackiest thing ever invented I don't think they're good for anything.

I think a researched plan is much better, the agent will follow the plan.

You can allow for an 'iterative' strategy for solving a problem, with guardrails so that it doesn't try to many times.

Yes - you can use Codex as the 'manager AI' but I don't see much benefit - it has a much shorter context window. Codex is better 'at the front' where it matters.

That said - it's 'auto-compaction' is quite good.

I don't believe the hype over OP5 lagging that much, it's fine as a working AI.

Other than for truly automated tasks, I don't think there's much that an AI can 'work a few days on'.

That form of 'loop for days until it works' produces nightmare code and architecture.

Fun for experiments and learning but not for code u want to keep.

Did you see Nvidia's 100% on ARC AGI-3 yesterday? OVA was just Opus 5 in a loop.

They can definitely be powerful.

I’m referring to Fable vs 5.6 Sol. Opus 5 being bad is universal at this point.

I operate mostly in the devops arena. Lots of things opus is fine for. But there is just things where I can hand hold Opus through changes, or I can ask Fable to do it and it gets it right on the first try. People will say let fable plan and validate with opus doing the work. I found that burns fable tokens even faster because opus makes so many mistakes, fable has to review things 4-5 times before opus gets it right. A single fable implementation at medium or low effort would have one shot it.

Yep. Every time you get more intelligence, that buys you more autonomy, more reliability, more task complexity. Tasks done with less mistakes, less handholding, less interventions.

This is what the "good enough" people fail to grasp. There's no "good enough" - unless your tasks are genuinely small scope and will stay that way forever. If not, there are always more gains to extract.
