I'm so sorry your family is suffering from this. I hope you can find a way to bring them back. Disorders featuring psychosis are so painful for everyone around them. Blessings to you and your family

I love how you guys downvote all the old comments to make them hidden from search. My no-name account rarely gets downvoted. But, within 20 minutes of posting this, I drop 10 points. Rando accounts

There's only thing I find sadder than untouchable billionaires that never see any consequences for their actions: the people who think they need to stick up for them. > What does the CEO of a platform has to do with what people post on it? That CEO is actively promoting political viewpoints (via his account, his platform and his AI model) that are detrimental to my country and the way I want to live my life. > When y…

I'm not from the US so I don't really care, X is an international platform and almost all the content I see isn't US related (which kinda make me think that people should just set their account from outside of the US to just avoid this?) , but from your point of view, it seems more of a disagreement of beliefs, wouldn't this reasoning apply for your beliefs as well? If the CEO of a certain platform was agreeing with…

I don't remember any far-left opinions being popular there. Was stuff like worker's revolution or public ownership of the means of production ever in the Twitter mainstream?

I upvoted your first comment because it was insightful, interesting, and added to the conversation. I downvoted this one because complaining about downvotes is largely considered to be in bad taste and doesn’t really help anything. I did both of these things before I realized you were the same person.

If someone from Grok is reading, don't waste time on these chaff features. The market will eventually deliver better 3rd party solutions to all of these things. There is an audience that isn't interested in these walled garden features and are only interested on intelligence per dollar.

Lol I wonder when Anthropic discussed the idea of Claude Code internally, were there bozos saying "3rd parties will eventually deliver this so we shouldn't waste time one it."

Personally, my work doesn’t want to get locked into a single LLM provider so we use Cursor. Much easier to fight the big corp software approval battle once then switch around the LLMs to the new hotness (provided legal has the requisite data sharing agreements in place, we’re not supposed to use Chinese models or Grok) but I can switch between Anthropic and OpenAI models at will.

I did a quick eval comparing Grok 4.3, Opus 4.7 and GPT 4.1 and they actually seem pretty similar: https://ofw640g9re.evvl.io/ They all did pretty well at a more "formal" tone, but GPT4.1 was the only one that didn't make me cringe with a "casual" tone. [edit] fwiw, grok was also the fastest+cheapest model, claude was slowest and priciest.

I know it's just an evaluation, but seeing an informal message and a prompt to ask to rewrite this informal message to the tone of an "informal message" when the original one sounds just fine, just makes me sad... Not because of this evaluation, but because it reminds me that this is how some people use LLMs, basically asking it to remove your own voice from texts that are generally fine already.

My sister in law is a pharmacist and the heaviest non-dev ChatGPT user I know and her main use case is writing professionally polite messages to doctors on how the drugs they prescribed to a patient would have killed them had she not caught a particular interaction or common side effect.

There's a lot of "tone" in it as she's not trying to anger these folks, but also it's quite serious, but also there's just everything else happening in medicine.

Feels like a great use.

What's liberal identity politics have to do with leftism? Liberalism is a center-right ideology.

Us leftists are concerned with class issues, not identity issues.

Focusing on identity is nothing but a way to distract from class.

While the tread is swapping between "OMG Claude good. OpenAI was done for" and "OMG Codex good. Anthropic was done for". I've never heard about Gemini and Grok. It works mostly similar performance, but people don't mention that much. Still, my impression is, Gemini hallucinate too much while Grok is always less capable than competitors so it's not worth using it.

Gemini is the best model for OCR bar none.

It absolutely sucks at coding.

So, we have: - claude for corps and gov - codex for devs - grok for what, roleplay, racism? Those are the two things I've ever heard grok associated with around me.

Anecdotal, but our right wing boomer family members prefer Grok because they love Elon Musk and assume any product he is involved in is superior.
