alt Hacker NewsEnjoy it while you can. You can see the AI companies have already started the process of locking us out of this, with Opus 5.5.
God forbid our fans, our fans of all things, might be broken of their dependencies on the internet. The plebians can't be allowed to do that. Every relay must be cloud-connected so it can be monetized and disabled for whatever dumb ass reasons someone might want to disable it.

The other problem is that the manufacturers can also use AI to improve their DRM and do red-teaming to fix "vulnerabilities" before release. Right now they're not because it actually takes some effort but eventually they'll be able to just tell their agents "make sure no unauthorized clients can connect". I expect that several years from now there will be a sizeable market for pre-2027 hackable devices.
Coway sells tons of devices with no smart/connected features. Their best-reviewed ones for home air purification are not connected. Everyone will be better served by supporting such product lines or pressuring companies to create them more than they will be by reverse engineering "connected" features no one ever needed.

I hear this a lot but I've never hit this.
For weeks now I've been working on a shared recompilation project of Switch 1 and 2 games, and Opus 5.5 has handled that with no issue.
Over 10 supported Switch 1 games, and 3 supported Switch 2 games, and never once has Opus 5.5 denied anything
Apparently there's a website which already addresses your concerns about fans - nothing else - only fans.
at least current models are safe, glm is very capable in terms of RE
Just use abliterated/uncensored self-hosted models. This is why we need them and the hardware to run them. Yes, the API models which will further close the walled gardens will evolve faster than the open-weights ones, but I'm hopeful about the community as a hole rejecting this status quo.
