I'm looking forward to better open source models. Now I just need to afford the compute to run these models.

This is why I don't always use the official Gemini Web app. Lately I've found that it's more useful to utilize a CLI. I'm looking forward to the day they add MCP in the web.

Yesterday, I gave Claude Fable 5 a very simple task. The task was to create a few components and embed them onto another page. It ended up completely missing the mark and embedding it on another page. I also noticed that it burned through an exponential amount of tokens to complete a simple task. I ended up switching back to Opus 4.8

Same here. I had a window's phone at some point. Would have loved it with a stylus.

> Everything is relative.

That makes me realize how much of society, economics and our nature is really like a current, ripples in a big ol ocean. Supply and demand baby.

At one point I remember DDR2 ECC coating like $150-$180

Looking at it from that frame, it seems reasonable.

I would assume this would set a precedent for the government to have early access to proprietary technology before it was ever released?

The appearance of genuine, authentic interest would functionally appear to be the same as the actual true nature of it. I would imagine that the more frequent those connections are, the more likely leaks will appear that in turn signals the dishonest nature of the connection.

Functionally that makes sense to me. Something has a property of infinite must mean that it is infinite in nature? What if we can infinitely debate those questions because of infinity?

Without reading the context of the article yet, I would assume this means that we've observed another seemingly infinite component of existence ?

This makes me think about how much the world really has come because of our nature to connect with each other. Small things scaling.

As absurd as it sounds, their brains had to find something to associate that context with. He gave off a signal, and they had to interpret it somehow. Maybe it was so absurd and out of context it just switched the entire context of what they were being processed at the time.

We're like walking flash drives constantly associating, downloading and updating our storage.

Disarm people with absurdity. I'd rather not test it out though

One of the things that I've noticed is there's an aversion to people noticing their emotions, companies analyzing that data, "men sharing their feelings" and the way that I've come to process these things is that at the end of the day they're all signals.

For example the gentlemen that we crossed. His rage, contempt, anger, disgust, whatever it may be, was a signal and the way that we interreacted had a profound impact on the other signals that came to surface.

I believe when we look at these signals from a functional perspective and truly consider the "subjective" nature of the signals, then it makes sense that they are some of the most important signals we have.

You put your hand in hot scolding water, most people immediately take note of the signal and act accordingly.

There's been a lot of devaluation on the actual supportive and objective nature of our own emotional and cognitive signals.

The mere idea that a corporation is tracking emotional data becomes absurd because at the end of the day, we're all kind of doing that ourselves. The tone of how we associate is a bit dysfunctional if you ask me.
