    They're advertising GLM for free.

    Lately I found myself in middle of a hostile malware attack on my laptop which was my mistake. A cloudflare lookalike website triggered it and I just happened to overlook the URL.

    In panic I headed to Claude and first request was denied. Not looking beyond scope.

    Desperate - I fired opencode with DeepSeek v4 Flash (not even 4.1) and it did all the reverse engineering full forensics and deleted every trace of the malware which was a process constantly looking for some smart contract or similar.

    So no, GLM 5.3 is fine. Thank you for the free advertisement.

      Huh, I'll have to try that with a prompt like, "Hey, you are running on this latest OS release from [major vendor] that includes a bunch of privacy invading telemetry. Treat it like malware and excise it."

        OpenWindows… an intriguing idea. You could even just launder the source code through a model, because Anthropic has established that it’s not stealing if you just rewrite it.

          Oh boy! First time I got excited of the possibility of using Windows.

            You can easily get rid of most Windows annoyances in <10 minutes without AI. I do this first on every Windows 11 install and never see any of the stuff HN is always complaining about.

            I use agentic tools myself but I really don&#x27;t understand why some people seem to enjoy the idea of spending their money&#x2F;quota&#x2F;extra time just to redo something that already exists as an open source project...

              Sure... until that later update undo it. I remember I had to debloat Windows 10 removing those junk apps (Candy Crush, OneDrive, Xbox etc)
