Also, isn't this just a huge fire hazard of they actually do what they claim? Or will they remove the batteries from these old, continually plugged in, poorly cooled laptops?
My theory is that YouTube blocks some accounts for publishing LLM-generated music, and people who wanted to earn ad money from it get burned and publish LLM-generated posts about it.
I would be on YouTube's side here, except it's possible that their motivation is simply to avoid poisoning their dataset while they train their models off creators videos. Also, the question is how they tell apart what's LLM-generated without false positives.
Maybe there were also artificial listens fraud (it's a problem with their competitor Spotify), but we'll never know because no one who was blocked would publish that honestly.
My impression is that different users get vastly different service, possibly based on location. I live in Western Europe, and it works perfectly for me. Never had a single timeout or noticeable quality degradation. My brother lives in East Asia, and it's unusable for him. Some days, it just literally does not work, no API calls are successful. Other days, it's slow or seems dumber than it should be.
Their distribution operation is very bad right now. The model is pretty decent when it works but they have lots of issues serving the people. That being said, I have had the same problems with Gemini (even worse in the last two weeks) and Claude. So it seems to be the norm in the industry.
Starting an hour or two ago GLM's API endpoint is failing 7/8 times for me, my editor is retrying every request with backoff over a dozen times before it succeeds and wildly simple changes are taking over 30 minutes per step.
I just set the context window to 100k and manage it actively (e.g. I compact it regularly or make it write out documentation of its current state and start a new session).
For me, Opus 4.6 isn't working quite right currently, and I often use GLM 5.1 instead. I'd prefer to use peak Opus over GLM 5.1, but GLM 5.1 is an adequate fallback. It's incredible how good open-weight models have gotten.
Why are you so angry about a black person's perspective of what the moon landing meant to them? Rather than putting a nail in the coffin of the "systemic racism narrative", your post underlines how long we still have to go as a society to take black people's perspectives seriously, rather than simply denigrating them as "race bait."
Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. The US saw what Trump did during his first term, and four years later, after relative calm, they were like "nah, let's go back to Trump." That's the new normal. In fact, things will be worse during the next election, with even more of the media owned by unhinged billionaires intent on robbing as much as possible from normal people.
But Trump was even more egregiously poor. That’s what Americans don’t seem to understand. They’ve revealed to the whole world that they are a retarded people.
All they had to do was put a little daylight between their platforms. Show that they believe in something different. But that is not their role in the Ratchet Effect.
I don’t think it’s helpful to treat the American people like children and do silly things like blame the democrats for Trump, especially for a people that is usually so obsessed with personal responsibility. The Americans voted for the retarded senile paedophile and they got him. It says something truly awful about the American people, mind, but personal responsibility extends to the political sphere, too, not just the private or economic one.
The American people are to blame for Trump. They got what they voted for.
How does Marc Andreessen know that he has no introspection if the doesn't have introspection to evaluate whether he has introspection? How can he discuss his lack of introspection in a whole-ass interview about his lack of introspection if he lacks the introspection to evaluate his lack of introspection?
You're absolutely right! His sentence about not really needing introspection and the right approach being "Move forward. Go." should be read as the Zen koan it is and carefully introspected on. This is the secret of enlightenment. True enlightenment is no-mind: it's not just zero introspection, it's zero of every dualistic craving. Pure action, without anyone being "there" to act: it's about walking the path, not just sitting and reflecting on it.
