@bridgemindai AI is just a race to the bottom, zero loyalty, zero moat. AI providers are a bubble.

It’s not social media that’s “inflaming tensions”.

It’s not Elon Musk.
It’s not Nigel Farage.
It’s not the ‘far-right’.

It is the very deliberate policy of mass uncontrolled immigration & open borders.

This policy has to end or it will destroy Western nations.

@sydney_ev Akin to feeling sympathy to a blackberry user.

@KatyKray73 That right there is "Suicidal Empathy" on full display

@thenowhereway Inference cost for images is too high, not to mention the copyright\misuse hassle.
Their focus on productivity tools such as co-work\o365 plugins is excellent.

When did it become a requirement to "understand" what you create? Are you putting future parents on notice?

[Tim Smith @TimTheTerrific]

MiniMax-M3 and Deepseek-v4-pro have shown that you don't always need better models.
Good "affordable" models unlock more value.

[Tim Smith @TimTheTerrific]

@goodworse I can't say your wrong, but given this was posted 12 hours ago you hardly gave it a chance. Fable is half the Price of openai's pro models and we all know benchmarks are useless. Opus was way ahead for reasoning.

@WallStreetMav I blame the treacherous politicians more.
Misplaced humanity allowing all the men in, they should be improving their homeland not fleeing.

@AISafetyMemes @AnthropicAI Clearly never tried getting a cat back into the bag

[Tim Smith @TimTheTerrific]

@AnthropicAI Resubscribed today and.. "banned" within 3 hours.
Great news they have issued a refund!!

[Tim Smith @TimTheTerrific]

@AnthropicAI "Hi", yeah nah back to Codex and issuing a chargeback. @AnthropicAI are thieves.

[Tim Smith @TimTheTerrific]

@AnthropicAI Been a while, thought I would try to see if limits have improved. Signed-up, no prompts yet already showing 6% usage.

[Tim Smith @TimTheTerrific]

@JeffBezos , disappointing decision to not proceed with stargate re-launch.

🚨 BREAKING: UK Simulator just got announced for PS5.

Survive modern Britain and witness the collapse of a country you once recognized.

@TheJadeWarwick Was he though? All I saw was a big guy sitting on a fence. Police scared perhaps.

@lotr2023 @TRobinsonNewEra @Keir_Starmer Treating everyone equally by merit is the opposite of racism

[Tim Smith @TimTheTerrific]

@thsottiaux Biggest reliability issue is having accounts banned without explanation...
Appeals are useless, just do a credit card chargeback and open a new account. But seriously.

[Tim Smith @TimTheTerrific]

@RyanLeeMiniMax Seems better today....
Speculating default thinking level may have changed?
M2.7 consumes less tokens (great for grunt work that doesn't require large context)

[Tim Smith @TimTheTerrific]

@RyanLeeMiniMax Is there a billing issue? Never used to get past 20% plan usage, now 100% used within 2hrs, feeling like Anthropic again.
Perhaps the option to use the older model to go further.
