Yes I'm dissapointed as well. I tried despirately to get Lee to use the Nexus webpage to update the progress on Nexus but he never logged in. Then I gave him the site for the bug tracker and he never signed up. I had a feeling this was going downhill around that time. I put a lot of work into building, tweaking and even paying for the webhost but unfortunately, I felt like it shouldn't have been worth my time.

I kept at it though. Trying to balance work, girlfriend, a clan, a blog AND Nexus (some sleep here and there also) was successful for a bit. I now see 0 people out of the 6 working on the nexus project online.

Yet again I would say "anyone wanna pick up this project?" but I have no code in my hands (except for a quick back up that Rus made me do for his part).

It is pathetic actually. Lot of programmers here promise all kind of cool things (I still hear Lee saying adding webcam support will be a walk in the park....), but they never deliver.

Only a hand full actually make what they promise.

Messengers, browsers, download managers... nothing actually gets released in an acceptable state. I gave up my hopes on this project the day the thread was started actually.

Yes luckily there are some good projects going on. Sadly this one wasn't one of them. I may be working on a messenger in the future but I won't release any details on it until it's complete or so close to complete that I need beta testers.

I've noted a lot of things that people want in this project and will keep them for the future. Don't wait for it though. i'll probably start working on it close to when my second semester of Programming starts.

Right, I haven't said much in this subject but have followed it and I am too disappointed that it's not going to be completed.

I work 5 days a week and also do a lot of voluntary work in the evenings, but I am willing to give a shot at writing a messenger like Nexus. However, I will tell you, the progress will be slow, but I will keep everyone informed of the progress.

I don't really want to continue with Nexus, I feel it may be better if a new one was started with a different name.

So if the support is there, and people want me too, I'll give it a go.

If there is support, I need suggestions for a name, people willing to tell me what features they want or would like!.

I plan to release builds when (and only when) they are stable and usable.

Also, if we go ahead I will start a new topic for this.

Cheers.

Well, that is to be seen...

Anyways, what is the use of a messenger application? There are tons of messengers out there that are great and are fully customizable.

MSN Messenger can be patched to a lean messenger which supports everything.

Yahoo Messenger is a good application.

Trillians is nice and supports practically everything.

Miranda IM is fully customizable and works great.

A new messenger wouldn't add anything.... so what is the use?

Nexus didn't even look that great, plus it didn't support much features either.

True.

But also it's fact of that the messenger you are using has been developed to some point yourself and/or your pals, ok, nexus never came off and the features may not have been like msn messanger, but it had at one stage huge support, indicatiing some need for a simplified version of a messenger.

The additional point is that you can add your own fetaures into it too (depending on what u want to do!).

Anyway, it's upto others as well if there is support it I will get going on it, if not, then we will leave be.

Do we want another messenger to be developed or not?

lol no i dont think we need another messenger project, i see the Nova Messenger project has gone quiet too, even if someone did start another Messenger project like this one, i probably wouldnt follow it..

Nexus messenger was only interesting because it looked good.

(Well thats the only reason i was interested anyway)

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
