That's very defeatist. Do you have any concrete reason to think the major providers are lying to every one of their business/API customers about not training or storing the data? The business loss of trust would outweigh any benef

I just have one as a symlink to the other. Seems to work, and doesn't need an extra tool call.

I'm always surprised how large harnesses are By comparison, the recently open sourced grok harness was 840k lines, codex 950k, pi 250k https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/15/grok-build/

The things you list not remembering may just be a different focus. I was always amazed by how many movie details other people remembered until I realised they rewatched those movies many times and I never rewatched anything. Similarly, bein

I have a lot of dead blogs in my RSS reader I don't remove for this reason. Maybe they'll start writing again. They've survived many opml exports/imports between different readers over the years.

They were criticised/sued early on when people could reproduce copyright things. I dont think in this case it's something they'd prefer to do?

In theory that's what benchmarks are for. If you're assuming they're "benchmaxxed", note that new benchmarks have been released after the model came out that it did well on without being trained. Do you have any lin

The Linux version seems to use bubblewrap + seccomp for a "workspace sandbox" automatically, in addition to the auto mode and/or user approval. A VM would be even better, but people could presumably run this in one if we mana

Are you just guessing this? Using it, it's was clearly a jump in intelligence over previous models. It (mythos) was first made public in April so it's not a surprise that others would catch up, though.

There have been many reports that they're training in other countries. (On mobile so can't search, but this was yesterday:) > "Oracle was providing a staggering 22.6 percent of China's known A.I. computing power"

Fair. That is a very slight friction on what is quite a small niche, though (compared to the wider ecosystem of developers). And most that need similar will use AST or runtime construction. The trivial kind of raw source generation is still

Every python developer I know uses an auto formatter today, and never needs to think about it (ruff, black). It's not ambiguous and is immediately visible if something has the wrong indent. (On other projects, I often wish other langua

To be fair, translation plays to the strengths of AI, so there's less benefit to being an exact superset.

Why? The creators have a strong open source background and it's work to properly open source.

When has it ever been an issue in use? People complained about this in 1999 but then I used it and it's never mattered.

So far everyone seems to be consistently GPU-poor, despite the huge buildout, and usage keeps going up drastically. I don't know what would make usage drop. Every time they've made smarter models we've wanted the smarter ones

That's exactly why Auto mode was made, and reportedly what they all use. It's the easy option, with a better safety score than human review. (This isn't vibes: they're red-teaming Auto mode heavily)

On a remarkable, or other tablet? Sounds like a software issue, there's no reason for that to happen in 2026.

They do give a significant amount more than you would expect from the API pricing. The US provider API pricing has heavy margins by all accounts (and most are short enough of GPUs that there's little incentive to drop).

Weird how different people's experiences are. If it's making simple mistakes something must be wrong in your setup/context I assume? It's been solid for me, beyond the usual LLMisms that all models have. But I keep con

Your anecdote is not describing dunning-kruger, though, it's describing "some people exist in society with too much confidence in their ability" which can be true on its own, and is not exclusive to beginners.

Similar to physical exercise and machines replacing it, I think we're going to see extremes on both ends.
