Interesting. I have bad hopes for the data on children growing up with AI, which makes it easy to never apply critical thinking and finding own solutions.
That's the silver lining regarding how poor Siri works on my HomePods. I'm not sure I want my kids get perfect advice from AI, but I do want them to be able to get it somehow.

Why create a marketing page for someone else? Like it reads just like the typical >>we are the best<<, where you of course don't want to believe the hype. A blog doing a benchmark would be so much more valuable to readers. I am leaving this with more questions than answers.
SEO juice, malware distribution, harvesting payment information, selling the domain to the real model provider... Lots of ways to make a quick buck. For example, last year when Lightricks released the LTX video model, somebody else registered ltxv.video and got 215 upvotes https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43944974 but the Lightricks CTO showed up to inform people that this wasn't their site. It now redirects to ltx.io, so either money changed hands or they filed a trademark dispute.

Seeing as you can access the model for free in a number of different ways right now - including via OpenRouter https://openrouter.ai/stealth/ox-alpha - it's not far fetched for someone to create a free UI on top of that.
You would think that, right? Here's the full text:

Yeah, something about this whole website is just weird. The way it keeps repeating things like:
> Nobody knows who made it — everyone wants to try it.
> nobody knows for sure which lab made it.
It just comes off untrustworthy, like I am getting scammed somehow. The whole thing being written like typical low signal to noise LLM slop does not help either.
The German "Chaos Computer Club" (hacker club) has a disclosure service. They approach the affected party as the club, hiding the persons identity. Not sure if they do it internationally as the page is in German. But nice idea and not a government agency.
Great news. My first thought was that I want to see how this looks. Unfortunately there is not a single screenshot in the announcement. Missed opportunity in my opinion.
Heavily disagree (for serious low-code platforms). AI produces code that only AI maintains. That's a big burden. Low-code vendors ship code patterns that are easy to compose. They have the burden of maintaining that code.
Let AI build apps using these building blocks instead of wasting tokens reinventing the wheel on how interactive tables should be, which chart library to use, and how speaking from the frontend to the backend works securely.
LLMs will make creating low-code apps as easy as normal apps. But it has one constraint: how is the extensibility of the low-code framework?
Why does Cloudflare need a web framework? Most obvious would be they think they can make money from hosting astro sites (like Vercel and NextJS).
I hope Cloudflare's impact on Astro will be tiny. But another great thing being swallowed by big tech...
This is overly cynical without reason. CloudFlare is hardly "big tech" even if it is a "big" "tech" company. They have no record of killing or abusing open source projects.
