Am I to understand that this is essentially their form of social-platform ghosting instead of banning?

So they're not even going to tell you that the question you're asking is against their rules, they're just going to twist up your question and/or the answer somehow such that you waste your time essentially?

It seems like I ran into this EXACT same functionality from Claude many months ago when I was trying to ask it to research on the web and help me setup the ideal llama.cpp config for local llm inference.

Funny how lost it got through that relatively simple install when we had all of the documentation in the world (and a human dev with 20+ years experience guiding it along) to go by... and simultaneously it's debugging and building high level cryptography code in rust in the other terminal tab.

This is infuriating to learn.


I have encountered this too. I am building a coding harness for www.propelcode.app and it was working really well until the claude code leak and then all of the sudden it seems almost intentionally stupid or outright manipulative in guiding me down wrong paths. At this point I am using other models for anything related to the tool use design and implementation and bought three mac studios with 512gb ram to run large open source models.

This experience has made me feel like we have to create a community that moves AI from the mainframe era to the PC era quickly, or we will end up serfs.


I had Claude walk me through getting local LLM models running on my Mac a month or two ago and so far as I can tell it was intentionally helpful. I even stated the reason was to have an uncensored model for myself and it had no objection. Long story short LM Studio running a Heretic Gemma 4 is doing just fine on my system now.

I run a few local models for different things. I find Gemma 4 great for writing but qwen better for coding.

I tried the same prompt on gemma4 and qwen 3.5 and Gemma consistently failed to call the multi line edit tool.


I've had the same bad luck with tool-calling on Gemma4. Looking around the web, we are not alone. For other tasks, it's seemingly quite quick and decent.

But it gets stuck in tool call loops, it seems like.


Oh to be clear I don't think Gemma 4 is suitable for real work. It runs at 10 tps and is somewhere between 4o and o1 in quality according to my subjective judgement. But Claude was happy to correctly tell me how to get it running and how to solve the pitfalls I encountered in that process.

re "Unmetered intelligence" goal of Microshaft.

Of course it is...

This is Windows-Licensing-Level Money Opportunity 2.0.


I said they “said” that.

And Google releases another free local model. As did Microsoft.

The actual facts of the day belie your snort take. At least a little bit.


OURA is a joke. My GF bought two for us and after a week I made her return them due to non stop dark patterns coming out of that company.

Everything about that company is disgusting.

Such a shame, too. I was eager to learn more about my health.


Can you elaborate?


This REEKS of /r/wallstreetbets manipulation... I vote to remove it entirely.

Nobody is buying spirit air... a bunch of gamblers just want to pump the price monday morning.


devils advocate with no skin in the game: they're not taking any money, just "pledges". if it were a scam why not take a "pledge fee" of some kind?


To give the guise of "serious investment about to take the company back towards a course of profitability and numba go up" of course.


The resource waste he's talking about is horrendous, read more here: https://time.com/7308925/elon-musk-memphis-ai-data-center/


Nowhere near the power of ChatGPT 5.4 Pro imho... thought for maybe 15 seconds on a problem that pro would have spend 15 minutes on... and the results really show :/



NSL, perhaps?


So do you want to pay more, or less? I am confused.


I think it's more about being unwilling to pay so much when a free version is just a few months away. Streaming is too good and too cheap compared to the theatrical release.


“Free” but you pay a monthly subscription. No one seems to know what free means anymore.


Watching a movie using a service the parents were likely already paying for has no marginal cost.


Right your cost is distributed and covered by others. Internet, electricity, a computer are three things not listed in the subscription price. So not free.


Cheers!
