AI Sandbox question

Hey all, just want to start by saying I know very little about AI and have just been going down a rabbit hole thinking about multi-agent simulations and had a question I couldn’t find a clear answer to. Most of the big simulation projects I’ve seen like Project Sid and Stanford Smallville use LLMs as the base, which means the agents already come loaded with human language, concepts, and cultural baggage before the experiment even starts. And things like Aivilization are cool but players are st...

Follow-up: hosted AI export controls are now being tested in DC court

11 days ago I posted here asking whether Commerce actually has authority to treat hosted frontier AI model access as an export-control issue. https://www.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1u4yjdi/does_commerce_have_the_authority_to_apply_export/ There is now a live federal case testing almost exactly that question. CourtListener (D.D.C. 1:26-cv-02225) Legion LegalTech has sued the United States, Commerce, and BIS over the directive that led Anthropic to restrict access to Fable 5 and Myth...

Automate your email and calendar

In this demo, I walk through how to use Row-Bot as a daily inbox command centre. We start by configuring the tools needed for the workflow: Gmail, Google Calendar, Tasks, and notifications, then run a practical end-to-end scenario. Row-Bot checks important unread emails, summarises what needs attention, identifies action items, drafts replies, creates a calendar event, schedules a reminder, and shows how the same workflow can become a recurring morning briefing. https://github.com/siddsacha...

The tool was available to the specialists on some days but not on others Once physicians began using it, their performance dro...

Opus 4.8 The Worst Claude Ever

I have worked with most all of Anthropics LLM's for development, but hands down Opus 4.8 has caused me more grief, aggravation, and it lies in every thing it does - especially near context mid-load and if you're doing deterministic work with no heuristics constraints you can't trust a thing out of it. So I stopped using it a while back, but today I had to do a container rebuild and in VS it slipped back into Opus 4.8 from Sonnet. And without even realizing the switch happen I could tell about a ...

Vibe Directing - the Claude Code Moment for AI Video Creation

We’ve been thinking about what vibe coding did for software creation. Today we're introducing OpenArt Director and a new approach to AI video creation we call Vibe Directing. Instead of building videos clip by clip, you work through conversation: describing ideas, exploring directions, and refining them with AI until the result feels right.

Looking for a technical co-founder [R]

I'm building VentureLync, an AI operating system for venture capital funds. Three agents: Analyst, Associate, Operations. Running on a persistent memory layer. Doing the actual work that junior VC staff do today: sourcing, diligence, portfolio monitoring, LP reporting. Where we are: design partners already signed, more funds in active conversations looking to come on board. The product exists, funds are using it, and we're closing more. What I need on the technical side is someone who t...

If AI data centers are exploding nationwide, why are so few being built in California?

The nation is awash in data center hate and California is no exception. Temporary bans have cropped up across the state as residents from Imperial County to San José fight proposals in their communities. Monterey Park became the first city in the country earlier this month to permanently ban data centers by a popular vote. And a recent poll sponsored by the environmental group Net-Zero California showed 70% of state residents don't want data centers in their communities. But unlike in Virgin...

How distinct are all these new corporate "AI agents" under the hood?

I see AI agents everywhere now, from Instacart to Confluence to banking apps, and I was curious to know how they actually work behind the scenes. Are they mostly built on the exact same underlying models, or does each company code their own? If multiple companies use the same model, what stops them from acting exactly the same? Also, do they all benefit when the base model gets updated in the case they are running isolated versions? I'd love to know if they share any of the same training data or...
