Show HN: Ilya Sutskever's AI reading list into a learning RPG – using kimi k3

I wanted to take kimi k3 for a spin. It turned my simple one sentence prompt to this. Repo here. https://github.com/praveer13/ilya-papers-quest Well, I'm mindblown. Very humbling for me as a software engineer. Took couple hours for it to build this completely autonomously. And it was all from its mobile app. It couldn't render this though from within the app - it does have a feature to preview any website and publish it on kimi's domain - but it didn't work for this. I had to put it on github...

When I made LLMs argue with each other, they started making up citations to win. Sycophancy wasn't the only failure mode.

Some context. I've been running setups where a few LLM personas debate a question, then a separate neutral pass pulls out where they actually disagree. The whole reason I started was sycophancy. One model on its own just agrees with whatever you say, so I wanted models that would actually push back on each other. That part worked. But two things happened that I didn't see coming. First, arguing turns models into confident fabricators. Once a model is trying to "win", it starts citi...

Need a platform that can create and update a sleep log

After massive failures by Copilot and Claude, I need an AI platform that is free and can save an ongoing log. I have had two strokes and a heart attack and am in a wheelchair and genuinely unable to work. I have a phone hearing with an Administrative Law Judge for SSDI on September 7 and I need to create a sleep log including naps that I can update on a regular basis. Can anyone suggest an AI that can facilitate such a request? [link] ...

AI without guardrails

I'm looking for an AI without guardrails. I know AI isn't human and, at 51, AI is not going to convince me to kill myself or anyone else. I just want to be able to chat about Torrents, Jailbreaking my PS4, and piracy. Is there any AI bot that can do that? I get why AI needs guardrails for the immature and kids. But I'm a grown ass man trying to stick it to Sony for taking away physical media and Paramount fofor caving to Donald Dumbp [link] ...

Has AI actually changed how software development agencies build products?

I'm looking into software development agencies for an upcoming project, and almost every company I check says they're "AI-powered." While searching, I came across GeekyAnts and a few other agencies that offer AI development, custom software, web and mobile app development. It got me wondering whether AI is actually making a real difference or if it's mostly a marketing term. For anyone who's worked with a development agency recently: Did AI help speed up the project? Did i...

Sharing your ideas to ai

Does sharing your ideas to ai makes it you get different perspectives or improve your ideas or make your ideas feel worthy or worthless. For me this has happened with many things , like my projects even I wouldn't have thought of it but the tool would have given me a great hidden value . Sometimes some tool gives me the best and makes me feel oh right yes this is the one but the same thing when asked to another tool it literally makes me feel this is a wrong move . Is this only happenin...

This is bad...right?

So this has happened to me a few times this year. I will be listening to Youtube music videos in the background as I am working, reading, or just chilling and a song will come on that just speaks to me. Being on this forum you can see where its going. I have found that several of these songs are written, created, sung, etc exclusively by AI. On one hand its super impressive....on the other hand there is an undeniable part of me that does not like this trend. To me music has always been abo...

I cut a RAG pipeline's response time from 90 seconds to 4. Never touched the model

Last year I worked with an AI startup, an Oxford spinout. Their product answered research questions through a RAG pipeline. It worked, but every query took around 90 seconds. Long enough that users were bailing before the answer even loaded. The obvious move is to blame the model and go bigger. That wasn't it. The retrieval layer was doing way more work than it needed to on every single query: bloated embeddings, no caching, redundant calls stacking up as the document set grew. I stripped th...

I’m starting to think AI can make you sound smarter without making you think better

I’ve been using AI regularly for a while, and lately I’ve noticed something that bothers me. It has become incredibly easy to produce a clear argument about almost anything. You can ask for the main points, the counterarguments, the risks, and the best conclusion, and within seconds you have something that sounds thoughtful and well structured. But sounding like you understand something and actually understanding it are not the same thing. I’ve caught myself reading an AI response, agreeing w...

Comparing AI predictions before the World Cup final

With the final coming up, I went back and looked through the AI predictions on SportEval from the quarterfinals. Although all four teams that advanced were the favorites, none of the matches felt as comfortable as the predictions suggested. A few key moments could easily have changed the outcome. Several models, including Claude Opus 4.8, DeepSeek V4 Pro, GPT 5.5, Gemini, and GLM, all predicted the correct winners, but they reached those conclusions in very different ways. Take France vs Mor...

Document generation

I need to be able to create estimates and invoices for my small biz. I have used ChatGPT in the past, but it seems to get progressively worse at this task. I know it’s not really its thing, so wondering if I spend the time to set up my template, is there a model that is actually good at making a repeatable doc? It’s actually wild, as of late, it literally won’t spit me out a pdf most times. It’ll say: - “I don’t think the document will be to you standard” Or even “I am unable to produce...
