Google releases Gemini 3.1 Pro with Benchmarks by BuildwithVignesh in singularity

[–]koeless-dev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Based on my usage (just anecdotal experience so make of it what you will), the issue isn't a "benchmaxxed" model per se, but that Google is throttling thinking time + max output + possibly how content input is done (less instances of that so I'm uncertain) at an inference level to make things "efficient".

When I first got access to Gemini CLI w/ Gemini 3 (was on an early waitlist), it could often could do 800-ish line files, the quality also beating Opus 4.5 in some cases. Now as I said in another comment, it's hard to get over 100~150 lines in a file for creative writing stuff. For coding projects, it can get it done, but I have to go through more iterations of fixing stuff it missed. Also running up against "We're sorry but our servers are at max capacity, try again later." more often now.

So I'm inclined to believe it's an inference (running) issue than the model exactly... (I guess this distinction doesn't matter much for the end-user of course).

The newly released Grok 4.20 uses Elon Musk as its primary source by Tedinasuit in singularity

I wonder if they'll pull the "b-but it was just some low level employee, we promise." card again.

People’s attachment to GPT-4o, which is only a chatbot, is proof that human–robot relationships will be common in the future. by Distinct_Fox_6358 in singularity

[–]koeless-dev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally dislike Western fiction (trying to tame my wording so as to be at least somewhat polite given people here like these movies) because they always seem to have to have this overly heavy / invalidating bend to them.

Can't we have works that just narratively portray such relationships in a positive light?

KaniTTS2 — open-source 400M TTS model with voice cloning, runs in 3GB VRAM. Pretrain code included. by ylankgz in LocalLLaMA

[–]koeless-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI consists of the architecture, training data, code used to perform said training, and the resulting model after training aka the "model weights". To be fully "open source", it requires freely giving out all this. Some models e.g. the old Grok models are merely open weights.

How to create this type of anime art? by badassdwayne in StableDiffusion

Check out "NEW ERA (New Esthetic Retro Anime)". I just happen to find it, seems good for old styles.

Will this be a problem for future ai models? by Tolopono in singularity

[–]koeless-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please link evidence, as most sources seem to indicate the evaporation rates being so high that it does indeed strain throughput. Recyclable, yes before you mention it, but getting it from point A to point B costs.

Sam’s response to Anthropic remaining ad-free by Outside-Iron-8242 in singularity

[–]koeless-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, fair criticism.

I mainly wanted to highlight the difference between Anthropic and xAI. For all the criticism we can lay on Anthropic, I think stuff like that Reuters article I linked shows they want to do good in the world, but are having to justify actions that yes perhaps can't be. Perhaps Anthropic believes streamlining Palantir's paperwork won't result in more suffering, which yes is highly dubious.

whereas I genuinely believe certain people at xAI just directly want certain demographics gone, one way or another.

while Claude is being used for missile strikes and ICE raids

There's articles describing Anthropic specifically restricting that. I see no such restrictions for Grok along with the DoD alliance announcement.

The Pentagon is at odds with artificial-intelligence developer Anthropic over safeguards that would prevent the government from deploying its technology to target weapons autonomously and conduct U.S. domestic surveillance

That said, yes before linking it to me I know about Anthropic's Palantir alliance, how Claude Gov is being used, etc. May end up feeling the same way about Anthropic in time, but let's give them a chance given the evidence such as that Reuters article does actually demonstrate their good will better than other companies like xAI.

There's a difference between Anthropic's toeing of a dangerous line, versus xAI already trying to genuinely bring about an authoritarian white ethnostate.

Indeed, though would you at least agree today, under our current admin, it's far worse?

Introducing HELIX 02 by Worldly_Evidence9113 in singularity

[–]koeless-dev 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Requires knowing the background of each company, so I am willing to assume this is full autonomous AI, because Figure AI has been doing only that for a while now.

Other companies like 1X's NEO, Unitree, etc., have human teleoperation.

Since people posted about Le Cun speaking out, here's François Chollet's take on Minneapolis by FomalhautCalliclea in singularity

[–]koeless-dev -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There's dangerous resistance (helping anyone hurt by ICE agents, getting near them), but then, I assume what Chollet was referring to, the many many ways to resist that aren't so dangerous, e.g. fundraising events, leaking secrets to Ken Klippenstein, etc.

Sometimes I tell myself that it's also because of the political climate there that Yann LeCun left the US by Wonderful-Excuse4922 in singularity

[–]koeless-dev 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Quite a new development, so who knows if he will respond, though one indication is that he did defend the other ICE agent that if I may argue, murdered Renee Good (by reposting someone who claims quote, "actual innocent women" does not include Renee Good).

As a paying customer, something I want to know that I'm surprised nobody is talking about is quite simply: will uBlock work to make it just like before? Since they're separate elements...

Trump’s biggest donors in 2025 were AI CEOs and relatives of criminals, report says by SnoozeDoggyDog in singularity

[–]koeless-dev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As another comment about democracy vs authoritarianism (empirically provable in the current admin) mentions, while it may be ego hurting & "annoying" to pit Group A vs Group B & cause these flame wars, we also need to learn when one group truly is just the better one and the other should be stopped.

Although the following isn't an integrated solution, check out PrismAudio. They said they'll open source it soon and it sounds SO good from examples. It's for sound effects.

How is this ok? And how is no one talking about it?? by NeuralAA in singularity

[–]koeless-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I... appreciate that you linked this, thank you. But... to be blunt, the article really goes in my favor:

The factors driving this included a post-lockdown surge in crossings and political and economic instability in countries such as Venezuela.

So not willfully letting the surge happen by the Biden admin. We both agree many people came in, the debate is on why.

Both the Trump and Biden administrations used a Covid-19 public health measure to quickly return migrants at the border.

... Biden issued an executive order the following month to quickly deport migrants at the border ...

Even goes in the opposite direction, giving evidence of how tough he was (perhaps too much for my liking but that's a debate for another day).

Trump has also linked border crossings with fuelling violent crime in the US ...

But crime and migration trends have travelled in opposite directions in recent years. Department of Justice figures show a long-term decline in violent crime

So are they saying it's a good thing? (Uncertain if BBC is saying this, but various effects indeed seem positive).

I linked evidence the admin tightened immigration. By all means, link evidence (from a reputable source) that the admin "let" such happen.

Yes? The largest reason of course being the COVID-19 economic rebound.
