In light of recent doxxing issues, here are my recommendations:

1. Keep a clean record; avoid posting dangerous content, even criticism, and cite it diplomatically.
2. Maintain separate devices and accounts for all activities.
3. Use social media assuming someone is screenshotting everything.
4. Self-host as much as possible to control your data.
5. Avoid Reddit, as it has been mass-scraped for the past 15–16 years.
6. Only time can erase your digital "sins." Do not associate with anyone under surveillance.

guys don't buy from amazon basics (or anything that mass-online retailers marked or advertise to you, it's all just clearance sale broken stocks)

I'm fairly certain with this repeated trend that big labs only benefit from having regulation on their side to keep local-LLMs far away from distilling them and getting any more innovation done in this space for the common consumer to get some faayda from this. Fuckers are probably the first universally astroturfed snake oil salesmen ever (except you can't make your own snake oil cuz consumer = retard)

Now, why did SpaceX not make anything? Cuz they suck ass at LLMs and stuck to porn with grok. But they have compute big enough to support Anthropic's workload - now extending to use rich user data with Cursor.

The only lesson here is building stuff on top of open source stuff is probably the best way to find an entry and exit in this slop market. And selling shovels ofc.

WhatsApp Premium Pro (satire)

Meta has the distribution already sorted through Whatsapp, and they've been trying hard to make people use their WhatsApp Pay (probably trying to pull a WeChat in india) - and now with Cred's UI/UX psyops, they'll be fishing for a larger fish.

As adbhim said, the matchup with Telegram being banned and this shit now is just diabolical.

Cash + Signal/Threema perhaps should do

anything to ban telegram

> telegram should be replaced by whatsapp
> UPI payments should get integrated into whatsapp
> tiktok banned around the same time reels became popular on instagram


why is meta everywhere in India?
The good never hate on open-source free software.

A new LLM GLM-5.2, while hyped a lot online, is at the "getting there" stage, with little refinements needed. But of course, Anthropic will never be able to take side with such LLMs being available.

Still, these aren't LLMs that a normal user can run on their consumer grade systems, but it allows new smaller enterprises to be able to run their own weights of these LLMs, with complete control of input and output, ensuring their own privacy too.
these orgs are moving to self hosting FOSS LLMs

its simply a matter of control and profitability

don't mistake any of these orgs as privacy respecting - they simply want to cut costs and maintain company intellectual-property
