Ask HN: Anyone notice World Cup video feeds look like AI?

By AI I mean Image Generation models like stable difussion, but I had to make a short title. They look like Video Games sometimes too. This reminds me of that case of a scanner used in an architecture studio that was changing numbers for others, and it turns out they were using content aware compression and decompression. Maybe the commercial pressure to use AI caused them to apply an AI filter to upscale the images and they end up looking like videogames? To be precise I'm looking at the Belgiu...

AIs can do world-modeling now, as seen via the Anthropic Fable standoff

Many have speculations on how the Anthropic saga with Fable will end. Prediction markets cover it too, giving a <50% chance of a re-release by July 1. This post isn't about my conclusion. Instead I want to share how AI can be used for world-modeling such situations, and gesture towards what the world will look like with autonomous AI systems get better at this than humans. I see three challenges with modeling the Anthropic situation: I can't rule out 4 different versions of what happe...

My personal experience from last 4 years about AI

Hey everyone, i don't know it will approve or not btw Im Akash I’ve been building in the AI space for the last 4 years pretty much since ChatGPT first dropped and blew everything up.

If you didn't phrase things exactly right, the output...

Did AI Deep Research get lazy?

A few months ago, when I ran a deep research query, the Al would actually sit there and grind for 20 to 30 minutes. You could see it pulling from hundreds of different sources to build a massive, detailed report. ​ Now? The entire process wraps up in under 7 minutes. ​ I've recently switched from ChatGPT to Gemini and I taught it was a Gemini specific thing, switched to ChatGPT and it's even worse there. ​ What happened? Deep research in it's current form isn't v...

Show HN: Didon – AI workday reports for productivity analysis

As an indie engineer, I wanted some real feedback on my productivity, like having an actual external boss. I tried using time trackers (even a physical timer), but they weren't good at tracking everything. So I built Didon, an AI time tracker that watches the screen periodically and generates work logs, then summarizes them into your workday report.
