This applies to pretty much everyone who isn't the US/China, no? I guess Russia also has a good amount of home grown web services (Yandex, Wildberries, etc), but not much in the AI space that I'm aware of.
The real surprising part is that Anthropic is also negligible (according to this article) in Germany. It's all OpenAI. But I didn't dare to change the title that much.

Besides a few software devs about zero people I talk to (I'm in the EU) have ever heard of Claude / Anthropic. It's all Gemini (the default in Google), ChatGPT (pretty much a verb for "I ask questions to an AI") and some have Grok subscriptions (!).
When I mention Anthropic and/or Claude people have zero clue what I'm talking about.
One piece of anecdata: after first getting into Claude Code and then discovered the Claude app I briefly got excited about using it in voice chat mode, demonstrated this to my Austrian wife who found it immediately cool then of course asked if she could chat with it in German. On finding the answer was no, she immediately signed up for ChatGPT so she could use the same feature in her native language. I’m sure Anthropic models are decent with German in text chat, but the lack of that one feature is what drove her straight to a competitor.
Anyone else hack something together with HA / the Voice PE yet?
Looks like it needs a second model to do function calling, which gpt-realtime-2.5 didn't, and the Voice PE XMOS chip's audio pipeline might not be a great fit for full duplex back and forth, like what gpt-live-1 now supports.
Is archive.is/ph having issues for anyone else lately? Seems they've run out of captcha credits and i can't get past that initial captcha for the past few days :/
Dialup systems typically spent most of their time offline. If you wanted to connect to one over IP you'd need some way to get it to dial back up to the ISP, and then some way to get the new address it'd ended up on.
Yup, and phoning a number wouldn't incur charges unless the other side picked up.
ringconnectd never answered a call, but rather listened for a ring pattern that you could specify. So what I'd typically do is go to a payphone, dial my line at home, let it ring twice, hang up, get my money back, dial again letting it ring twice again, hang up, get my money back again, then go to the computer lab to wait. My system at home was configured to connect after the ring pattern [ring, ring, delay, ring, ring]. It would then wait 30s, connect to its ISP, and email me its current IP address.
I did it this way because I was already using the terminal for pretty much everything, and we didn't get dedicated machines on campus. So it was better to just hold my work on my Linux machine at home and connect to it from the lab.
"AI is progressing at a rate that our society might not be ready for. Frontier labs are very close to AI that can exceed even the best people on almost every metric of intelligence. This will lead to unprecedented social and safety risks. To ensure a positive future we need to develop AI in a way that is driven by responsibility and thoughtfulness."
Responsibility and thoughtfulness? In this economy?
