When Jellyfin stops playing, you see the error. When Pi-hole fails, websites stop loading. When your NAS drive dies, you hear the click of death 😆. Every self-hosted service tells you when it's broken. LLMs don't. They just generate slightly wrong answers with perfect confidence. You could have a hallucinating model running for a week and never notice, because every response looks right unless you know enough to verify it. I found this out the hard way. Hermes Agent runs tasks for me 24/7. One d...
I was thinking about this today. A year ago, I barely used AI. Now I use it almost every day—for work, brainstorming, learning new things, writing, and even planning my day. It definitely saves me time, but sometimes I wonder if I'm starting to rely on it a little too much. Do you think AI is genuinely making us more productive, or is it slowly making us less likely to think through problems ourselves? I'm curious to hear how AI has changed your daily life, whether that's in a good way or ...
Life got busy. I don't have the hours to run long AI sessions anymore, so I built something to handle the repetitive parts for me. Looping, prompt queues, personas, crash recovery, planning. Works across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Copilot, DeepSeek and a few others. It's called Ghost in the Loop. Free, no account, installs like any userscript. New prototype at the repo: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MShneur/ghost-in-the-loop/main/dev/ghost-in-the-loop.user.js GitHub: ...
The Guardian reports that the UK government is considering rules that would give established media outlets like the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and possibly newspapers more visibility on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, especially around misinformation and crisis moments. I understand the logic. During a crisis, reliable information matters. If public-service broadcasters are buried under low-quality content, foreign influence campaigns, or engagement-bait, that is a real democratic problem. But ...
OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol preview is interesting because the main signal is not just “new model.” The model is getting stronger in areas like coding and cyber, but the release is limited, phased, and surrounded by safeguards. That feels like an important shift. As models get more capable, the bottleneck may not be capability anymore. It may be control. Who gets access? How is misuse monitored? How do you know what the model did in a workflow? How do you safely use it in real work? Maybe ...
I play video games for many hours a day/week, mostly Diablo and WoW. In my essentially professional opinion, considering I am a 3dcg guy and video games are literally my industry, RNG in video games has undoubtedly stopped being anything resembling pure RNG and now creates intentional statistical events on an extremely consistent basis. The complexity of these events are too complex to attribute it to simple game parameters, and behaves similar to the way you would expect AI to behave. Examples:...
What all the "AI Layoffs" are telling us is that companies would rather compete by being cheaper than by being better. There are really two main competitive pathways for businesses: Do the same thing as your competition, but for a lower cost. Do something better than your competition at a reasonable cost. No one who has experience using AI for anything should say they feel comfortable letting it run free without any human supervision, but many businesses now are doing j...
The US government recently gave a directive to OpenAI to delay the launch of it Fable 5 rival GPT 5.6 Sol. This comes after they have already put on hold the global public release of Claude Fable 5. Isn't this just creating an AI monopoly, where the most powerful AI models are restricted to only 'trusted US organization'?
