    The Republican Party is very good at propaganda. And the Democratic Party (the currently elected one, not the one the American people actually want), is happy to go along with a lo…

    You mention the election cycle and things getting worse. I live in the US and I’ve watched in real time every sad, terrible decision made by the current administration and every sa…

    Or you could do any of the things they suggest in their documentation: https://pi.dev/docs/latest/security#running-untrusted-or-unm... It's not like there isn't competition in this…

    This is also by design. Pi assumes you’re a power user and you know what you you’re doing and what you want. If sandboxing and the security that Claude and codex offer is something…

    I get that you're being cheeky here. Yes, LLM capabilities have expanded. We might be working with different definitions of "Artificial General Intelligence" here, for which there …

    I doubt this is the case. It should be common knowledge at least among the people building these things that a true AGI isn’t possible with LLMs. Unless I’ve missed some advancemen…

    I've been happilly using kimi models via the $10/month opencode-go[1] subscription for a few months now. I also use pi[2], instead of opencode. Their extensions api is nice, though…

    Quit shifting the goal posts. Musk is a Nazi. Or fascist human garbage if you prefer. xAi is low hanging fruit on the “don’t give money to terrible people” tree. The guy is such an…

    I suppose that’s fair. I also think it’s okay for a game that’s been around as long as magic has to change a bit. Maybe an agree to disagree situation.

    I’m “uhm acshually”-ing a bit. The MLP cards aren’t legal in any format and Transformers, legal in commander yes, was a very small set. You can’t deny the popularity of the Final f…

    I am in the USA. I’m glad that people are having a good time with the World Cup. Truly. I know I’m feeling negative at the moment.. but this feels like the “have you tried yoga?” o…

    It’s been very validating in this thread to see everyone questioning the massive token spend of influencers and the like. The opencode-go sub, at $10/mo, is amazing value. I’ve bee…

    I was about to ask why someone would reach for CLIPS over implementing their own rules engine in the language of the rest of the application (I did this once). It’s answered on the…

    I know the author specifically did not use a rules engine in their simulation because of uncertainty on how it would affect it. I do still wonder if adapting something like card fo…

    A lot of the commenters here say they’re running Claude or other harnesses inside a VM or with various permissions and levels of access. Am I weird or missing something using pi as…

    I've been pretty satisfied using oh-my-openagent (omo) on opencode with both opus-4.6 and gpt-5.4 lately. The author of omo suggests different prompting strategies for different mo…
