I'm just a reply guy so please don't follow me. Also, if you like Trump, then I don't like you.
It wasn't the fault of Democrats. >95% were adamant in restoring abortion rights, and >95% of Republicans were adamant about not restoring them. So blaming Dems makes no sense. They didn't have the votes. It was Republicans and centrists (Rep/Dem) that made it impossible to restore abortion right.

Liberals need to be more pragmatic. We would still have Roe, advanced trans right... if millions of liberals didn't stay home with their vibrators & video games because of stunted 'both sides aren't perfect', 'Hillary is flawed'... thinking. I repeat, a trans activist saying never Gavin is low IQ.

That's not what happened. Abortion rights were lost when Trump and the Republicans appointed Supreme Court justices in his first term. Biden being president and the Democrats controlling both houses are completely irrelevant to the Supreme Courts ending of Roe.

Trump came to power and a broad spectrum of rights, including abortion and trans rights, were reduced because of low IQ nonsense like this. When you keep reminding people you're a never Newsome voter you're just shooting yourself and trans rights in the foot, you're just too stupid to realize it.

Also, the only model that actually made gains in the last year was the new Gemini. GPT5 was an overall regression from GPT4 (better at math/coding, little worse at all else). And the new Opus has less knowledge and broad stability than the previous Sonnet (basically only good for coding).

2 of 2) So in short, there was no overall improvement in >1 year. All Alibaba did was trade general knowledge & abilities for tiny gains in select domains and the industry as a whole is oblivious b/c they're not using the models & are simply running highly flawed automated tests to judge models.

1 of 2) That's the problem. The industry is just looking at tiny gains on select tests. I guarantee not a single researcher used Qwen3 for general AI use, or even for its overfit domains like coding since Claude, Gemini... are far better and more reliable, plus inexpensive to use.

They didn't loose to Qwen. Qwen3 overfit to select domains & tests and fall apart when subjected to a broad spectrum of tasks. Alibaba also started flat out cheating on tests like SimpleQA. Small models hit a ceiling over a year ago. Progress has been faked ever since (overfitting/cheating).

So fighting against taking healthcare away from 10s of millions and becoming the only first world country on the planet without guaranteed healthcare for all its citizens is just "belief polarization" and becoming an extreme version of yourself?

Yes, but the "basket of deplorables" comment was unbelievably stupid, regardless of how true it is. They both saw what was coming, but expressed it in counterproductive ways.

Sonnet 4.5 knows very little about art, pop culture, humor... It's grossly overfit to coding, math... Even the new Opus has less broad knowledge and abilities than the old Sonnet. It's more of a corporate tool than a general purpose AI model.

Alibaba trains on test data. Don't trust their scores.

You shouldn't report it unless something comes of it. The Trump administration is throwing a lot nonsense out there, including a 15 billion lawsuit to gain attention, which you just gave them.

Please work on your framing. There's a HUGE difference between the FCC chair and the administration calling for the cancelling of the show, and broad pressure from people.

When one side is using a tactic to fight to keep affordable health care, and the other to take healthcare away from millions, then calling out Ted back then wasn't hypocrisy. The primary issue the Democrats had was Ted using such a tactic for the cold hearted goal of taking healthcare away.

I think he was blinded by love while fighting the self-loathing of being in a trans relationship. You see the same thing w/ conservative raised homosexuals who often go through a self loathing & virulent homophobia stage. He was too distracted by this to see the damage to her & the trans community.

This was clearly a false flag. A single shot from 200 yards away, able to escape... is a professional hit. And no antifascist or transgender rights activist capable to pulling off such as well planned action would be stupid enough to leave ammunition engravings to villianize their own causes.

I was also hoping it was open source, but it makes sense that they'd keep their biggest trillion parameter model proprietary.

Google claims otherwise, but comparing say 720p videos side-by-side with older Youtube videos the quality has dropped recently (far more compression artifacts). And AI filtering introduces a cartoonish look and random artifacts. They aren't doing it to boost quality, but rather to reduce file sizes.

I call bullshit. By far the most noticeable Youtube artifacts are compression artifacts liking blocking & ringing. Noise like grain is rarely noticeable, especially with modern cameras. They're doing it because denoising videos makes them compress smaller, while also making them look worse.

And they're conveniently useless to the general population. They're PROFOUNDLY ignorant compared to 04-mini with far lower SimpleQA scores & entire domains of knowledge missing. OpenAI clearly did this so the OS models don't go mainstream and compete with their proprietary subscription models.

China's DeepSeek and Kimi did it without cheating. Qwen selectively trained on on test boosting data and is profoundly ignorant across the board. Plus they grossly cheated on the English SimpleQA test, boosting their true score of about 15 to over 50. They also cheated on the Arc test.

LLMs reliably score 10 pts higher on my fact test at 0.3 vs 1 (e.g. 70 vs 60/100). Plus complex outputs like stories are filled with far more contradictions to the prompt & previously outputs at 1 vs 0.3. All AIs @ >0.3 perform notably worse at all tasks I tested, including creativity tasks.
