CXMT just turned down Apple for RAM supply today. Their production capacity is too tight right now, so they decided to keep everything for local Chinese buyers instead. The hardware shortage, especially for RAM, is only just getting started.

This is what software development was before LLMs

This is so bad ass. We gotta get Omarchy running on this thing, @PalmerLuckey!

AI Power Rankings, It Doesn't Matter Edition: I've been using GLM 5.3 (Full and Flash) for the past few months. Nothing compares on a quality vs cost basis. Thanks to Nebbiolo for noting I haven't updated this in a while, but the result it is: who cares? Anthropic subscription numbers for the past few months show that people haven't updated to the latest models. No one cares about +2 IQ. The Chinese open source models (GLM, deepseek) are 90% of Chat/Claude for 10% of the cost that it doesn't make sense to keep an OpenAI/Ant subscription. I tested Kimi K3.1. Meh. I tested Muse Wonder. Amazing frontend design on par with Fable, but meh after pricing and terrible code. Still, I'm a BIG fan of what Zuckerberg is doing with AI and will check out his works. Meta Wonder is a frontier model and anyone who uses it will be impressed. It's too expensive for me, but it's overall great. Astra and Opus 5.5 are garbage. Astra mutilates your code to be non human readable, Opus injects ads for you to use more Ant products and still has Claudism bullshit "word more word word omg I need to make more sentences so you pay for API costs do you like me have you considered" FUCK YOU STOP. Yes, the AI landscape is so competitive now where the AI models self-advertise. I asked Opus 5.5 what models I should use for a simple AI agent, and it suggested Haiku and Sonnet while discouraging others. No research, it's just self promoting. All other agents suggested running tests to see which was best. Leading consulting companies limited their per employee AI spend from $1K/month to $29/month, because the open source models are too good. OpenAI and Ant spending has also decreased because they can't charge as much due to open source being excellent. I test the leading models and they all suck. By "suck", I mean they all roughly pass-but-not-excel benchmarks I made in June 2026. It makes no sense to pay for frontier models if we have open source equivalents for 10% of the cost. If you want the best no matter what: Opus 5.5. It's the best on every metric (except cost), and it's not close. Anyone saying otherwise is wrong. If you care about cost AT ALL: GLM 5.3. Use the full model to architect, and the flash model to implement. It's 90% of Opus 5.5 for 10% of the cost. My costs went from $400/month to $40/month and I think it's an upgrade (because no Claude nitpicking bullshit). I love Sol as a model because it has been consistent since 5.x. Astra is... something else and I don't trust it. I love the experiment with it mutilating code to save on token costs, but don't trust Astra yet. Maybe soon. But neither Sol nor Astra are on Opus 5.5 level. And fuck Fable whatever version, it's nothing more than an Opus model on a loop. Best: Opus 5.5. Best for cost & time: GLM 5.3 & Flash Dark horses I wouldn't bet against: Muse Wonder, Grok 4.7, Sol 6.1. I haven't found a model better than GLM 5.3 / Flash. The models that are "better" nitpick garbage to the point where it might not be worth using them, but you're paying for them to be jackasses. I'd rather have a model slightly under-catch problems then actively create them.

This anecdote specifically is extremely disturbing

Artificial Intelligence is a machine humans use. Super intelligence is a deity their worship and want to rule humanity with. You think the sex cult stuff is isolated? It’s blood and sex magic.

Super intelligence is the occult representation of AI. As part of their rituals, naming their gods must be done as this legalism gives them permission because our silence is consent. Trump doesn’t know this but that is how he’s being used.

BlueChip. Built in America. America made the first electronic computer to win a war. Now we depend on our greatest adversaries to build the computers that run our economy and defend our nation. Today, we bring it home.
