can't help getting astrology × audiophile vibes from llm enthusiasts: "oh no honey you can't use opus 4.8, it's so nerfed, try glm-5.2 or the codex 5.5, they have a warm gemini sound, very well rounded on details and tone. but don't use google's gemini models, they are really leos, they have good treble response but you can't trust their mid-range"

@wingo@mastodon.social my god, do people really talk like this now? I guess I am pretty picky about with whom I choose to socialize because (thank goodness) I haven’t ever heard anyone say these things in real life. Hopefully the bubble will burst before I ever do meet anyone who thinks like this.

@wingo@mastodon.social The funniest part of this is when they disagree on what the "good" models are

@wingo@mastodon.social ... where the conversations always seem to bias towards the answer culminating in >$10K speakers, "because you can hear the difference" ... ☺️ Shareholders win. Fatality. 💃
