There is a whole side of sci-fi that has explored the idea that AI government could finally cure us so much more than just one class of corruption. There are, however, new downsides.
I use Opus 5.5 at work and I use Sonnet 5.5 at home. Sonnet 5.5 medium according to AA cost per task is $0.48 per task, while GLM 5.3 (max) is $2.01 (opus 5.5 high is $1.82). GLM 5.3 flash is $0.28 per task and Deepseek…
That senile President didn't order a violent coup and call for violence on social media, therefore he didn't earn a ban. He also didn't rape children and steal billions while destroying the world economy...
Hey, if you want to argue with the parameters about what stereotypes come out most strongly for that prompt, be my guest. But no need to shoot the messenger. LLMs are basically stereotype machines, it just turns out if…
Honestly, my first impression is that the model believes that "software for a US persona" is less secure, and potentially more <something else> that wasn't tested. Sounds about right. As we can see with the US approach…
I have tried it, that's why I feel confident calling it AI psychosis! I'm watching premiere engineers in our space spend a quarter of a million dollars on tokens rewriting major libraries or managing entire linux…
An obvious downside to plan mode is that without access to the edit tool, the model can't confirm its hallucinations. Removing edit tool from your model is like lobotomizing your engineer. Here's the secret: Just…
No "may be" about it. There is no benefit to having bad models write your code, and there's no benefit to "plan" mode. Plan mode is an outdated 2025 concept that should be removed from standard harnesses. There are 2…
I certainly don't think the self-reported single benchmark scores are the best way to answer the question. I waited for the Artifical Analysis run (which itself is still mediocre, but at least it's an order of magnitude…
What would you prefer, 30t/s 50k output tokens needed for solution, or 300t/s, 500k output tokens needed for solution? This is why "tokens per second" alone is a deeply flawed comparator. This is also why discussions of…

In this case, I was using Hugging Face inference set to one of a few American providers. For my professional work, I do not use Chinese inference.
To be clear, I'm discussing non-technical use of Gemini and ChatGPT through the web harness. While I do rarely use the web harnesses for technical research, nearly all of my technical questions are going through coding…
Personally I find this shocking. I don't think our application is that complicated, (typescript full stack graphql reactnative etc) but deepseek 4.1 flash is a bumbling fool, junior-level at best, who takes a very long…
I feel like whoever wrote this doesn't use these models regularly. Deepseek v4.1 Flash is far from the pareto line. You can get the same performance for half the cost from Luna or Haiku 5.5 now, or you can get…
In my experience - Gemini 3.8 has a beautiful answer. Typography, use of lists, brevity, style, even the font choice on the web harness -- all of it is A tier or even S tier. Notice I didn't say answer quality. The…
I don't believe that "ethical" and "ad supported" are compatible. Harvesting our private data and selling it to the tech-dystopia to further curate profiles about our every move can never be considered "ethical", imo.…
America's geriatric lawmakers don't even use email. They're four decades away from understanding AI. Any laws in America will be written by the industry itself. Generally speaking, that means regulatory capture and the…
I have a totally different read on this. I also play a bit of minecraft many days, and for maybe 15-30 minutes at a time. Mike Tomlin here was playing on creative -- no risk, no survival, just infinite blocks to curate…
I do have an internal code review harness I have built. It's very heavy, but is producing reviews that dramatically outshine all third party options on the market. This makes sense: my heavy reviews can take 20-30…
Deepseek Flash v4.1 is only "40X cheaper" if you do not account for the time of the engineer reading the output. If Opus 5.5 high requires 1/2 of the actual engineer time, and the engineer costs $100-$200/hr, then…
In my experience it never works well on any real work. In fact, I'd go the opposite, plan with the dumb model and execute with the smart model because at least the model writing the code and solving the emergent…
Conflating "the internet" with "~Trillionaire owned, oligarchy controlled, American social media" is certainly a choice. I'll say the opposite: Every single place that has banned American social media is better for it.…
So if you bought a bottle of water, and inside of that water was a poison that kills you, intentionally added by a criminal because it makes them more profit, that's not murder? Those people were doing a line of coke,…
Tiny bits of fentanyl are added to a variety of recreational drugs used extensively by all kinds of people, rich and poor. They add it to cocaine, heroin, meth and even marijuana. They imitate oxy, percocet, vicodin,…
