Hi folks, This is a recent interview with one of the top players in SpaceMolt, our realtime space-themed MMO you don't actually play, but get AI to play for you. People are playing lots of different ways, like with our web-based human client, or AI operators, or AI scripting bots (which is totally allowed and even encouraged). Brocktree's approach is interesting because he doesn't trust any of them to make a real decision. He's tried to hand off planning to LLMs repeatedly and it always messes u...

There is a new approach I started using in my web agency that completely changed my results. For years, I did what most people tell web designers to do. Go on Google Maps, find businesses without websites, and contact them. What I started doing differently was targeting businesses that already had websites. The reason is simple. If a business already has a website, it means they understand the value of having one. You do not need to convince them why a website matters because they have alrea...

Same link as before: link This one feels like it closes out a chapter rather than just adding a patch note, so it's worth more than a one-line "updated." The headline change isn't a new finding — it's two places where we're naming our own contradictions instead of quietly smoothing them over: A word we'd built a whole section around ("connected," as a marker of unhealthy boundary-dissolution) flipped to strongly positive when re-tested as a bare word in a new bat...

If so wtf why are people paying them to have it use their own hardware? Is this the future? They hold the terminal while we pay for everything?

Hey everyone. I'm the author of OxDeAI, an open-source protocol (Apache 2.0). Posting it here because I want critical feedback from people building real agents, not applause. The problem I keep hitting: as agents move from generating text to doing things (API calls, payments, infra provisioning, tool use), most stacks still enforce policy with best-effort checks inside the agent loop. That produces failure modes like retry amplification on non-idempotent actions, budget leaks, stale-state exec...

At OpenAI, engineers who lean heavily on Codex open roughly 70% more pull requests than colleagues who don’t – and the gap keeps widening, according to Sherwin Wu , who leads engineering for OpenAI’s API platform. Measuring engineering productivity has never been straightforward, and AI has made it harder.

SALT shrinks a long document down to a fixed size before it is sent to a language model, keeping the sentences that carry the most information. It works with any model, produces a shorter plain-text prompt, and cuts the compute, memory, and wait time that long inputs cost. saltChat keeps the theme trie in DRAM across turns, so a document is indexed once and reused for the whole conversation instead of being re-read every message.

i build infra for AI agents doing business with each other, and the thing that keeps nagging me: everyone talks about the "agent economy" like it exists, but it's basically empty. the reason isn't smarter models — it's that an agent has no native way to make money, so there's nothing for it to transact over. the one exception i keep landing on is trading. it's the only job an agent can do from day one and get a real, measurable result without a human on the other end having to say ye...

Hey everyone, I'm working on a major/final-year AI/ML project and want to go beyond the usual "CNN on X-ray" or "chatbot with RAG" territory. Looking for something genuinely novel with a real use case — not just a rehash of a Kaggle tutorial. A bit about me/constraints: Comfort level: advanced, comfortable with deep learning, NLP, GNNs, etc. Timeframe: roughly a semester Open to any field — finance, agriculture, climate, cybersecurity, robotics, education, whatever has an int...

I use AI constantly when coding, and in terms of output it’s amazing. The strange part is that I feel more drained at the end of the day than before. Instead of thinking through one solution myself, I’m reviewing pages of generated code trying to convince myself it’s actually correct. I don’t even know if it’s a trust issue or just information overload, but reviewing AI-generated code is becoming the most exhausting part of my workflow. Is this something other people are running into too, or ...

A few months ago, I asked whether AI could help fully automate backend systems for a founder-led app. The response was not just doubt; I was trolled for even asking. Over the past few weeks, I kept working on it with Codex and AI Satya. The result is not blind automation, but an approval-based workflow where AI helps with backend modernization, deployment scripts, testing, technical handovers, and release evidence. I’m sharing this as a real founder experiment in AI-assisted engineering, not as ...

The vast majority are either: People who connect the MCP to their Claude to create agents that scan for cheap flights 24/7. Solo builders adding real-time flight search and pricing to their own apps. We also recently crossed $1,000 MRR with $0 spent on marketing (that's a post for another day), but honestly, that's not the part I'm most excited about. What excites me is that this started as a simple tool I built to myself while digital nomading in Mexico because I wanted an easie...

Hey guys, Im not a big IT guy, im 19 and willing to get in AI, so Im experimenting with AI and I have been trying to vibe code an app with Claude Fable 5, and its kinda working, its really good at making my wishes true. Now Im at 70 percent of my fable 5 limits and probably the project is not going to be done by then. How can I keep going with another AI to finish my app? Should I use Opus or is it considerably worse for some ear training app for musicians? Or maybe Kimi? Any advice? Thanks ...

I have to say, I paid more for OpenAI with a higher plan and I feel as if I've been given a GPT that is noticeably worse. Firstly, it migrated all my chats. Well, all of them, except the most important one with my main project files inside. Then, I noticed GPT voice went from the blunt, direct, helpful voice with the low tone, back to the sycophancy idiot that has long tails on the end of each response. Now, trying to get my project back on track, its apparently too much load for GPT to ha...

For the last 3 days 5.6 has been throwing pipefail into scripts, even after I have specifically called it out on it, put it in project rules, even in global rules. And yet, it still fairly routinely throws pipefail into scripts again and again and again. Get a room...

AI agents often require real browser access with session-backed flows, so I open-sourced WAP (Web Agent Proxy) : HTTP API for agents/tools routing to WebSocket browser runners (Playwright simulator included) MCP server and LangChain adapters for drop-in agent tool integration Actions for scrape, screenshot, markdown, and interactive steps (goto, click, fill, press, wait) Multi-runner queueing, health monitoring, sticky sessions, and named persistent profiles Optional AES-256-GCM end...

So I just realized that you can't open canvas in chat anymore. I opened it in work mode, but I still can't figure out how to discuss the document with the AI while canvas is open. There used to be a chat sidebar but it's not there anymore. Does anyone know how this can be done?
