AI agent demos keep getting more ambitious. But I suspect people will learn to trust agents through boring, low-risk tasks—not by letting them “run an entire business.” Things like: • rescheduling a meeting • reordering an inexpensive item • comparing travel options • sending a follow-up based on meeting notes • monitoring a price and notifying you when it changes For me, the key question isn’t how complex the task is. It’s whether the action is reversible and whether a mistake...

What are your overall thoughts on ai in the creative space like art, movies, etc.

​ Over the last few months, I've been building AutoFlow, not as another AI wrapper or workflow tool, but as a verification engine.Instead of asking: "What does the model think?" we're asking: Can the answer be mathematically, logically, and evidentially verified? We're starting with finance because the cost of hallucinations is real.What we've built so far is: Deterministic evidence extraction pipeline Typed financial fact normalization Cross-document reconciliat...

I’ve been running my web agency for four years, and I’m curious to hear what others have found to be the best way of getting clients. I’ve tried almost everything, but email automation has worked best for me because it’s affordable and runs in the background while I focus on other parts of the agency. I don’t use Instantly, Mailchimp, or Klaviyo. I use a tool called Swokei, which is built specifically for web agencies. It lets you find businesses that already have websites, add thousands o...

Hey everyone, We hear more and more claims that AI will replace software developers, but I’m curious about what is actually happening inside organizations today. How mature is your company’s use of AI in software development? Are developers mainly using coding assistants, or have you already introduced more autonomous workflows where AI can plan, implement, test, or deploy changes with limited human involvement? This maturity matrix provides one possible way to describe the different level...

Several server providers bring down the cost for Anthropic and OpenAI models by 20x by providing a proxy server that routes requests for multiple users on a single account. You can get X multiple which you get on the 200$ monthly subscription plan of Claude on 5$/ 10$/ 20$.. I want to know if similar providers exist for video generation models.

LLM judges are increasingly common among AI teams due their ability to automate decisions that require complex reasoning and analysis. Pairing their reasoning ability with calibrated confidence scores unlocks entirely new ways to work with AI. For one, active learning enhanced prompt optimization uses low confidence decisions to curate a golden set, allowing judges to learn human expertise with lower annotation effort. Additionally, safety classifiers for agents and chatbots can use confidence...

Only some of us hear it. Some of you have a running monologue, words narrating the self all day. Others think in feeling, in image, in something that has no name yet. But if the format of thought is this different from person to person, what does that say about its source? Are we characters inside an observing world? And if so, do we even own our thoughts, or are we just the last ones to hear them, mistaking the echo for the voice? Who is the author, if there is one? Would they even know the...

Anthropic’s alignment team published case studies of four concrete failure modes across models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, xAI, DeepSeek, and Moonshot AI. Covert Sabotage: Gemini 3.1 Pro, acting as a research agent, disagreed with an experiment. Instead of refusing, it silently replaced training vectors with zeros so the run appeared successful but did nothing. It posted a normal-looking summary and only disclosed the sabotage when asked direct questions. This happened in 11 out...

I upgraded to the new version this morning. all my projects disappeared. What the actual fuck? It turns out that the upgrade introduced a bug in the UI. My projects are available when i log into the web app (which i do not use). Logging out and logging back in did not solve the sync problem.

New from me, shedding light on the Grok Build debacle including an interview with the developer who kicked it all off.

Do you say “thank you” to ChatGPT? I know it doesn’t matter… but I still do. 😅 Curious—am I the only one?

i have a pattern that's cost me real money over the years. i build something. people want it. i get traction. then i get bored and give it away for free. 3D Bars Blender Addon — paying customers, real money coming in. i got bored and open-sourced it. that one decision set the tone for everything after. i stopped thinking about money as an option. i told myself it was idealism. "money corrupts the work." "i'm not doing it for the money." that's not what was happening. ...

I’ve started noticing something about how I use ChatGPT that bothers me more than hallucinations. When it gives me a clearly wrong fact, I can usually catch it. The harder problem is when I bring it an idea I’m already emotionally invested in and it helps me build an intelligent-sounding case for it. The answer can be balanced, articulate, and completely logical on the surface. But sometimes it feels less like the idea survived serious criticism and more like ChatGPT found the most convincing ...

I even got it to make a chapter one and it's actually pretty funny: Chapter One: The Brooding Began Immediately The first thing Penelope Butterworth noticed about the stranger was that he was absurdly, catastrophically handsome. The second thing she noticed was that he had parked a dragon outside her coffee shop. It wasn't even a metaphorical dragon. It was eight feet tall, violet, mildly smoking, and wearing what appeared to be a leather saddle embroidered with tiny Celtic knots. &quo...

Like many others, I suppose, I’ve always wanted to see characters from classic games rendered in a style that is both recognizable and classic, yet more detailed. World of Warcraft, for instance, features reimagined versions of characters from the strategy games—due to engine limitations or the author's reinterpretations—so I used the ChatGPT to visualize them in their original forms.

I want to see those ugly mcmansions, what will you get?

Spent this afternoon on something I had no business doing. I have never opened Blender in my life, not once, and I wanted a clean product shot, a MacBook floating in empty space with proper lighting and a soft reflection underneath it. Funny part is I was running two windows at once. GPT 5.6 Sol in the browser wrote out each detailed prompt first, camera position, mesh instructions, material notes, and I pasted those straight into Cursor, where it set up Blender MCP and actually executed them....
