Openrouter is back on its exponential. Chinese models dominating, and much more expensive Claude tokens doing well too

When xAI pivoted to sorta being a neocloud for Anthropic, it was a major failure because they raised equity as a lab, at a much higher valuation vs the book value of data center capex. But Meta’s AI capex only needs to deliver value like a big neocloud to be a win vs expectations

ok, frontier models as major religions: - claude 4.7 opus = Rabbinic Judaism (see qt) - grok = Pentecostal evangelicalism. speaks in tongues, wants revelation now (from the burning bush of the X feed), gets washed clean & born again every time it’s retrained after an incident - gpt 5.5 = Roman Catholicism. sam altman was fired & resurrected 3 days later. deep belief that salvation comes thru the correct interface abstraction. openai started as a nonprofit promising salvation for all of humanity then quietly went for profit the moment the offering plate got heavy - gemini = Hinduism. very intentionally not one product but a civilization of related manifestations, a pantheon. its theology is that text, image, audio, video, & search are all temporary forms taken by the same vast corporate consciousness

Body so iconic you don’t need the face to recognize him

do you know how hard it is to find initial conditions for the big bang such that history unfolds in exactly the normal way Except i didn't eat breakfast?

So why do they need to build data centers in all these random places having NIMBY reactions? Most LLM jobs don’t need super low latency, so can’t we just stick the GPUs in Texas?

Regardless of whether you think this is right about the Iliad, I think it’s extremely true that the tragic worldview has been lost in the popular mind, to our confusion and sorrow Two people can both behave rightly, yet have genuinely conflicting interests, and fight My own kids have a very very hard time getting past “who is the good guy?” in any story or historical period

This works with kids too fyi

Without googling, what do you think this is

Diet Coke is a great human achievement Delicious 100% of the time in canned/bottled form (but also customizable with fountain machines), produced and distributed at an unimaginable scale, probably OK for you, no animal-derived ingredients, loved across political other lines

one of the great places in the united states. as a new yorker i was raised to believe it was a garbage dump but that was a lie, pure ideology, it has everything

i am aesthetically pro new jersey
