I saw that "ape" was a valid word, found it diagonally, but it didn't register. Guessing I found an "accidental" ape. cool though!

I had a similar issue with "ant", except it was horizontal and the game refused to acknowledge I had found it. I'm wondering if it only registers the ones that it initially generates and doesn't double check when you select others or something. I did notice when you move it, it updated the list to reflect that there were two aardvark's so I'm not sure why it didn't recognize the 'ant' that I located.

Thanks for this! It was a tricky one to solve, but finding an "accidental" match now grants a point.

Ha. I read this comment and found the exact same diagonal "Ape"

We never, ever, ever connect our TVs to the Internet. So uh...bye Netflix.

The metered APIs aren't going anywhere... one hopes


While that's true even today there really isn't a product that wraps that API that is as simple to use as any of the major chat applications.

I've used OpenUI and it's fine but it's incredibly fiddly to configure and web integration is almost nonexistent (this was as of a few months ago so maybe it's better today).


I find https://msty.ai to be significantly better than any of the major chat applications. It has a ton of qol improvements.


I find TypingMind outstanding.


Many businesses both cost you money and also show ads.

Thankful for the overall balance this site still manages to find between diversity of viewpoint and civility. It gets spicy sometimes, but I like it that way.

Hope everyone's year finishes better than it started.


Feels like there's a contradiction in a piece that claims a fad is definitively over while simultaneously asserting the unknowability of our fragmented Internet culture.

Everything's decentralized, but at the same time, I have my finger on the pulse.


Because it gets clicks.

If this is an American thing I'm happy to disown/denounce it; it's my least favorite pattern in Gemini output.


    Gemini still calls me "the architect" in half of the prompts. It's very cringe.
Can't say I've ever seen this in my own chats. Maybe it's something about your writing style?


it absolutely does. and human employees don't call me "the architect." that's the point.


I wonder if under the covers it uses your word choices to infer your Myers-Briggs personality type and you are INTJ so it calls you "The Architect"?? Crazy thought but conceivable...


Possible :) GPT 5.1-thinking, Sonnet 4.5-thinking, and Grok 4.1 don't make up names like that.


The project is six years old


I stand corrected.


Great point. I guess one is just a better anti-privacy boogeyman.


It's also a great (VC-funded) business opportunity to become the technology provider of such action. There are a few of these non-profit fronts with "technology partners" behind them that are lobbying for legislation like the UK Online Safety Act or Chat Control. Thorn is the most well-known one, but one particularly interesting one is SafeToNet, who after not getting a government contract for CSAM scanning (and purging their marketing for it from the web - you can still find it under the name SafeToWatch) have pivoted to just selling a slightly altered version of their app preloaded on a $200 smartphone to concerned parents - with a 2.5x price premium.
