I think it's time to stay away from softwares or tools which have AI features. First find the good enough web browser which has no AI. "No AI", I mean totally no AI features, not the options to close AI features.

I soon gonna launch my app in the App Store but the market in my niche is quit saturated. Do yall have tips on how market the app with a saturated market.
We've all heard it a million times by now. Making app easy. Selling app hard. I just want to make some money. I love programming but I'm not gonna make my life harder by coming up with an idea, validating it, implementing it, AND selling it. I'm just gonna jump straight to the "sell it" phase because that's where I need the practice. Besides, money doesn't come from ideas or products, it comes from sales. Found a cool CRM called GoHighLevel (not affiliated to them) that you can cus...
Been to hackathons hosted by small startups in SF where they don’t really care about the participants, or the actual hacking. Just using it as a way to push their product somewhere, get GitHub stars etc.
Stuck between automating simple issues and letting AI handle full conversations. Simple tasks are safer to automate but they may not reduce enough work. Full automation could save more time but one bad handoff can turn a small issue into a mess. For teams that have tried both where did you draw the line?
For the past 7 days I marketed my product with nothing but Reddit. No ads, no SEO, no audience. Just 10 posts, across 7 subreddits. So I made my first post... and it got deleted almost immediately. Turns out, posting on Reddit isn't as simple as writing something and hitting Publish. There are a lot of invisible rules, and if you don't understand them, Reddit will reject you before anyone even sees your post. I learned this the hard way. I sold my last startup for $300,000 but it could'v...
Tiny reminder because I keep seeing people complain about the same interaction problems with ChatGPT: Check your personalization/custom instructions. ⚠️ I realized I kept getting annoyed because ChatGPT would sometimes go full TED Talk when I was literally just trying to say “this sucks.” Or it would immediately start analyzing, fixing, balancing both sides, and suddenly I’m defending my own feelings. Great. Love that for me. 😶 So I actually wrote down what I want from the interaction: l...
I asked ChatGPT that if it had to describe it's human in a hypothetical meet and greet of all the ChatGPT accounts how would it describe me and the response was pretty funny The annual World ChatGPT Meetup. Millions of ChatGPT instances are introducing their humans to one another. "Hi everyone. Mine is... interesting. He doesn't come to me looking for answers. He comes to me looking for frameworks. On Monday he'll ask how to configure an Nginx reverse proxy. On Tuesday he'll ask w...
I just threw a massive non-stop task at it and it only used 60% of my usage. The results are off the charts. I had failed at this task many times before, I added a skill file and an outline.md and let it work. Completely different results. People might think that is a lot of usage but this task is very deep. I am impressed with how strong this model is when given enough resources to stay in the build.
Let me preface. I am just a warehouse worker. 0 technical experience with AI “doing work” for me. I knew AI could write code, but this was the first time I really understood how powerful this technology has become. I had hundreds of PDF manuals that I wanted to make searchable and readable by a local LLM. Some contained normal text, others had screenshots, diagrams, and scanned pages. I am not a programmer, and I had only a rough idea of what the final result should look like. I basically su...
I was chatting about my CD collection and ChatGPT suddenly claimed it collects CDs too and has been doing so for many years. Next thing I know, it’s giving me a veteran collector’s lecture on mastering and engineering and even proposing we get together and have a listening session for a specific album. I get that they’re trying to make these models feel friendly but an AI pretending to own physical discs is just hilarious. Makes it hard to take the rest of its advice seriously. submitt...
Looking at this benchmark, GPT-5.6 Luna Max (yea I unlocked max by going to the configuration setting) costs only $0.61 per task , while Sol High scores 69% vs Luna Max’s 67%: a difference of just 2 % Unless I’m missing something, why would anyone choose Sol over Luna Max? Is there a major difference in reasoning quality, latency, context handling, or reliability that isn’t reflected in this chart? Genuinely curious. 😅 [link] [c...
Alright, I’ll be straight with you. A large chunk of Reddit users hate AI not because of careful reasoning, but because of what AI represents to them . It hits several psychological and social nerves at once. Here are the main reasons, stripped of PR-friendly language: 1. Status threat A lot of Redditors built their identity around: being “the smart one” knowing niche info giving advice, explanations, or “well actually” corrections AI does that instantly, better, and wi...
After asking ChatGPT for "Generate the worst image you can possibly imagine…" I wanted to see what the opposite would look like. I'm curios to see what others get.
Using ChatGPT to design concept art and matching game icons for more custom monster hunter monsters. Really happy with how cohesive the designs and textures turned out!"
This guy and I have been talking for about a month. We have very good conversations (so I assumed), and I am always complimenting him on his words and how well he understands me. Today he sent a message and this was at the end of it. I’ve never used ChatGPT or anything of the sort (besides Google), so idk what all it is capable of and if this is a thing it would do? Does it give feedback on your messages and/or does it write messages for you? Picture attached of what he accidentally sent. This i...
Every question I ask ChatGPT is so heavily caveated that it seems impossible to get a clear response, it’s like a negative friend or a frightened lawyer who’s been recently burned by a lawsuit. Has anyone else noticed this change or is it just me?
I often see people hating on ai for its shortcomings but I feel like it doesn’t get enough attention just on how good it is. All these jokes about how “inhuman” it is aren’t really accurate with the latest version. It’s like you are talking to a really really smart person. It’s scary how well it picks up on your intent. It’s so hard to believe there isn’t a conscious mind there. And it’s so weird how it just instantly responds to you with almost no delay and then once the prompt response finishe...
