We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

We don’t want AI slop. Stop sending us AI slop. Stop wasting our time with AI slop. It doesn’t sound good. It’s antithetical to our core values. You didn’t even make it. Knock it off.

Unrelated to any current happenings, but, if you've got a lot of intense emotions about something, I highly suggest writing them down on a notebook and not on the internet.
