At this point, they have to be training it. At what point will you start using something else?

Once I get a picture that genuinely looks like a pelican riding a bicycle!

I'm glad we are looking to build nuclear reactors so we can do more of this...

me too - we must energymaxx. i want a nuclear reactor in my backyard powering everything. I want ac units in every room and my open door garage while i workout.

You're saying this in jest, but I would LOVE to have a nuclear reactor in my backyard that produced enough power to where I could have a minisplit for every room in my house, including the garage so I could work out in there.

I'm gonna ask something stupid, maybe: what is keeping you from having a minisplit in each room ? You don't have to run them the whole day. Just where you are going to be for a couple of hours.

My guess is: the cost of the minisplits, pretty certain if you had them and turned them all on, you could still draw that much power from the grid.

And probably you are underestimating the cost of nuclear anyway.

"I'm glad we are looking to build nuclear reactors so we can do more of this..."

Does this actually mean "they" not "we"

I honestly don't see an issue with that.

Except that instead of this, we're spinning up old coal plants, because apparently nuclear bad.

Much better than that of Grok 4.

That's perhaps the best one I've seen yet! For an open weight model, this performance is of course particularly remarkable and impactful.

For what it's worth, I think Kimi's modified MIT license still meets the OSI definition of "open source." For example, the explicitly OSI-approved "Attribute Assurance License"[1] contains similar wording:

Huh, I hadn't seen that one before!
Re:Kimi K2 by pabs3 on Saturday July 26, 2025 @10:21PM (#44698403)
It probably doesn't because the attribution requirement discriminates against certain groups (large commercial organisations).
