    Yup - who cares about x-risk or red lines for domestic mass surveillance anyways? I draw my red lines at prioritizing profitable customers when heavily resource constrained. That's…

    If it's that big of a problem to you, you're free to just... not use the freebie?

    HN needs to take a chill pill. Could it be that Mythos is expensive and they just want to give people a taste of it? I mean the alternative is not offering it at all?

    Spent a lot of time with "open models." None of them come close. They are benchmaxxed. But you won't hear many of the open model fans on HN admit this. The open model mentality is …
