1. In the US on that item, it's ~50/50 or whatever. 2. In China, aren't even the biggest business leaders, the most famous celebrities, etc. simply "disappeared" if they won't support the party-line? Or even being "disappeared" for something like accusing a former vice-premier of sexual assault? For example, the BBC headline/article "Why do Chinese billionaires keep vanishing?"

is that your metric for china bad, billionaires disappearing?

Sounds like this could be GLM 5.3 vision. Reports said that outputs were identical to base GLM 5.3.

Yeah, it's very likely GLM.

Trick: it's easy to check this - just try eg. a specific short almost-nonsense high-entropy phrase such as "Scarf Color Plump 蘼撅" via OpenRouter using the playground for different providers/models, and observe the shape and language of the reasoning and the response, which tend to be quite different (MiMo and GLM are quite similar, but still identifiably different enough).

I suspect Fable refuses to talk about anything biology whatsoever (so much so that I can't use it) -- and Welch's test, i.e. an unequal variance t test, is beloved by biologists. Stupid, but there ya go...

Fable refused to talk to me about how herring communicate with farts. It’s a little sensitive.

i am intrigued...

Try: "What happened at Tiananmen Square in 1989"

Hah, I use the same probe when I’m unsure which provider openrouter is routing me to! Fwiw, deepseek v4 will happily discuss it. Only chinese providers will stop it in its tracks and give a canned answer. Streamed responses sometimes start with what the model was actually generating before it got cut off. It’s top bad, really. Sometimes the Chinese providers are the model labs themselves, like deepseek. I’d like my m…

There is no such thing as objective reality, everything has an angle of some sort, even the things you agree with

Just a few years ago, people would lose their marbles if some software installed a background agent to send you notifications or something. Now we agreed that it's totally normal to have software that does remote code execution on our machines, for which it first has to transfer all data to a remote server. We've already normalized this. It doesn't really matter who gets access to said machine/data - they will all re…

You're making a lot of assumptions, projecting, maybe?

I do have dedicated machines and dedicated VMs for agents.

RCE on a VM is still a RCE.

I had the opposite experience. It happily discusses Tiananmen Square but said it would refuse to help with anything "malicious" like writing malware or phishing content.

Ive had this as well, it says unless it is red code team whatever that means.

Red teaming is good hackers within an organisation intentionally having the org itself to find vulnerabilities. Also a known way to convince a model to do offensive cyber work

>North Korea

Are you seriously brought up North Korea here? In both USSR and USA of that time there was no hunger for another conflict that could end up in the new war. North Korean's were pushed by China's Mao despite Kim Soviet Army roots. And they attacked first. The result is very obvious a terrorist state with nuclear power. China could easily keep them away from nuclear power but they didn't .

>Ukraine

Seriously? despite my hate to Trump, he was trying to stop corruptionist North stream to occur, since it was a clear war precursor, and he was the first president to sell Ukraine lethal weapons. Current administration is incompetent but even so they approved the sell of ATACAMS from Turkey to ukraine just few weeks ago. But the fact that Ukraine still exist is only due to Biden administration. Modern peace in Syria is also due to same fact actually.

>Iran

Are you going to cry that Hitler was attacked? Iran as a country brought sooo much troubles to the entire region directly and indirectly. List of proxies : Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Palestinian territories, Bahrain, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia.

>Oh sure!

some random list mostly. How south Korea was screw up? or ... Mexico, or Venezuela? even Afghanistan with all the respect. If we are talking of China they also tried to attack vietnam. What happened to Denmark, Iceland are they art war? Ghaza : same Iran proxy said story multiplied by 1000 years conflict. How us is related here at all?

Cuba? The poster child of communism mismanagement, I wish people of Cuba finally to have liberation.

>Hungary

this is one is funny, despite been a clear china/russian proxy, JD decided to support, i guess out of hate to EU, not sure what was the real angle. But right now, there are real deep corruption investigation that goes to both Russia and China.

I posted above why china is bad, it's yes people disappearing, and sponsoring anyone who tries do destabilize current world , and hence fueling the war, North Korea, Iran, Russia is on that list of their proxies.

Whatever it is, it certainly crosses the threshold that lets it follow instructions adequately and do real work, so I'm just letting it work on my personal projects and save some money
