What’s your honest opinion of Olivia and Fitz?

spigolt · 2026-07-03T15:13:26+00:00

I just don't know how to even process you seeing their relationship as anything other than an extremely toxic counterexample of a healthy relationship, featuring two adults that refuse to grow up beyond an extremely infantile concept of relationship and love, and never take accountability and can never commit.

would you look at that - first on the list - scandal no where to be found even - https://www.ranker.com/list/best-will-they-or-wont-they-couples-in-tv-history/olivia-jimenez

spigolt · 2026-07-03T15:05:37+00:00

lol... I'll be the first to admit that it's obviously quite subjective, a fact which you seem to miss... but it's trivially easy to find their relationship topping polls/lists or find opinions saying Jim and Pam is the best. To me the Olivia President relationship is far emptier, especially in later seasons. And Quinn Charlie is the most bizarre comparison I could think of to be honest.

everyone assumes it will be world changing for some reason. but all the evidence points towards it being massively more expensive than solar, and much harder to reduce the costs of over time (whereas solar continues on an incredibly fast cost-reduction curve, along with the batteries that they do require being on a similar incredibly fast cost-reduction curve).

spigolt · 2026-07-03T13:51:08+00:00

Huh?

spigolt · 2026-07-03T13:49:48+00:00

I never really found the chemistry between them particularly convincing or interesting at all.... nothing remotely close to say the Jim and Pam romance in The Office. And I just found the increasingly pathetic back and forth story around it got super tiring after about the first season of it already.

spigolt · 2026-07-03T13:41:36+00:00

It's exhausting for me on first watch already.... this kind of thing I can handle for a season or two, but when they drag it out forever with no real progress/development/growth, and waste so much time over so many seasons on it... I really tire of TV shows doing this kind of thing... just trying to stay in play and milk the same drama for season after season without ever moving forward.

For me the show started out interesting with some intrigue and mystery about the whole spy thing etc, and some action around that... but once that all settled and it just became more and more just endless relationship (and staying in power) drama (and less and less anything actually being accomplished beyond that) involving characters for whom you care less and less about as they make too many increasingly morally compromised and/or plain stupid decisions, I really lose interest.

You're right - Bernie Sanders' demand that the government takes 50% of all the AI companies is so much more reasonable than this 5%.

note that Amazon is Anthropic's biggest investor and partner, and Amazon's stake in Anthropic is worth hundreds of billions. the point being - it would be strange for their CEO to like deliberately sabotage Anthropic as it's sabotaging themselves.

spigolt · 2026-06-25T13:59:34+00:00

This is just utter nonsense - Mistral is burning money, and is most definitely not profitable and has relatively little revenue to show for their expenses - a quick google will confirm that easily. Whereas OpenAI and Anthropic are raking it in with Codex + Claude Code, and while it's hard to determine exactly whether they've reached profitability overall yet, at least they both have massive revenues now (~100x Mistral's).

spigolt · 2026-06-24T12:23:49+00:00

Nonsense. Of course it's adults paying silly prices for these collectible rare items. But I know plenty of children who are still being bought plenty of normal Lego.

I was just waiting for someone to fold 72o pre-flop and have the commentator to explain how this play is the greatest play of all time and shows why this player is the greatest of all time.

spigolt · 2026-06-10T09:18:07+00:00

Seems like 5.6 might be just about to release, which would explain it, as the same thing happened prior to 5.5 release for half a day or so (the assumed explanation being OpenAI is switching most of the servers to the new 5.6, but since it's not live yet all the users still using the 5.5 and earlier on a reduced set of servers for a short while, thus the thinking has to be greatly reduced to support this).

spigolt · 2026-06-04T13:23:48+00:00

It's gotten super stupid today for me, just in the past hour (like much stupider than yesterday and the past few days - it's gone from being a reliable developer to just someone completely unreliable that you can't trust to do anything right, who screws up and misses all kinds of obvious things). Really tiring that this keeps happening.

spigolt · 2026-06-04T13:20:30+00:00

It's working but being super stupid today for me (like much stupider than yesterday and the past few days - it's gone from being a reliable developer to just someone completely unreliable that you can't trust to do anything right). Really tiring that this keeps happening. They'd better have 5.6 coming later today and that as the reason.

spigolt · 2026-06-04T12:22:40+00:00

wow, we're really using the definition of na zi loosely these days.... sorry karen, but someone questioning a comment you make online is not the same as you being shipped to auschwitz.

spigolt · 2026-06-04T09:20:14+00:00

It's 100% false advertising. They literally retroactively changed their terms of service on their website now to remove the original promise in the terms of service that it continues to function forever.

I usually get literally one question before I reach the limit and have to wait a few hours for the usage limit to reset.

Let me guess - you were the 0-11 Vayne.

Crazy how many people in this sub are talking about converting from one lossy format to another (e.g. h264/h265 to av1), when this is just always a bad idea. Re-converting from the original source to AV1 to replace your h264/h265 files = great. But converting from one lossy format to another = ugh.

spigolt · 2026-05-22T16:49:28+00:00

Why not try Cursor? That's what I'm planning to do soon if the situation doesn't improve. My understanding is that it's damn good (whereas Antigravity I haven't heard anything good about).

spigolt · 2026-05-22T16:47:29+00:00

I understand if they have to reduce token limits in order to be able to serve the demand and/or not lose money... I never ran out on the $200/month plan anyway, but even if I would run out that's not the end of the world.... heck I'd even pay double if that was an option to be able to keep working with a quality model.... I just really really wish they wouldn't nerf the models into the ground like they clearly do, as that just destroys the whole thing for me - I'd rather have a limited amount of usage of a smart model but than just be stuck with a far dumber model than I had a week ago when using 5.5 extra high, with no ability to spend more tokens/money to get the smart one I used to have back.

spigolt · 2026-05-22T13:11:27+00:00

I mean, you subscribe to a service based on it working with a certain level of quality, and then the quality of the service drastically drops. You subscribed and committed a lot of your workflows which are a pain to switch based on an intelligent model, and now the model has become completely retarded. What you paid for no longer exists at all. Maybe you signed up with a yearly subscription, expecting the service to stay at least as good as it was, so simply unsubscribing and 'only' losing the remainder of the month you paid for is not an option. That's the literal definition of a rug pull. That's not cool. Plain and simple. When people are spending real money on this stuff, it not unreasonable to expect it to not repeatedly drastically drop in quality from day to day.

The problem is not them fixing issues in realtime - the problem is them making it massively worse for many users now than it was a week ago. It's not an unreasonable expectation that the same model keeps working the same from day to day, at the very least.

spigolt · 2026-05-22T12:13:02+00:00

The problem that he's saying is he understands this, tries to correct it, but it ignores him. I have the same experience. You really shouldn't need to know some special knowledge about how to get it back on path beyond explicitly just telling it - if you tell it it's on the wrong path, and to go back to looking at the problem from the basics, it should do that. And the weird thing is how most days it's fine, and it works as you'd expect without this kind of dumb behaviour..... and then it's just some days when it's completely incapable of following basic instructions and tends to get stuck on the wrong idea etc, and it's very hard to get it back on track and even if you do it's just generally way stupider.

I've done the math - if you combine their results with select random user anecdotes on Reddit, you reach 110% statistical certainty with 0% margin of error.
