I made a FAQ Chatbot that runs completely in browser; Local AI in Two Clicks

webLLM and a simple RAG, and I have a static Website that can explain what it is, how it works, and I can update its knowledge base easily. Since chromium now supports WebGPU default, modest hardware, even some phones, can run it locally. Crazy how far AI interface architecture has gotten and how smart small models are.

Found AI videos of people with disabilities on Facebook trying to pedal crappy merchand

I was on Facebook today and I came across ahead of a down syndrome girl driving a car crying with a mean comment on her screen claiming that she was told she would never sell her resin craft work. The first amazing thing I noticed is a girl didn't sound down syndrome at all. The second thing was the fact that she was driving a car by herself which is usually quite amazing for that particular disability as well. It shows screenshots of her doing work on resin crafts and at first I thought this wa...

If Anthropic opens Mythos to US citizens, wouldn't bypass mechanisms make it easy for non-US users to access too?

Regional restrictions on digital services have often proven difficult to enforce completely, and inevitably Anthropic will release the model even if with regional restrictions and when it does so, I wonder how effective those measures would be in practice. Wouldn't it be easily accessible to restricted users too through various proxy mechanisms? Edit: To clarify, I am not referring to individual users trying to circumvent the restrictions themselves. My point is that if there's enough demand, ...

I made AI Boost so I could stop repeating myself constantly

I'm guessing a lot of people use LLMs in a similar way to me: basically maintaining a billion projects in parallel. Because of this, I tend to re-use patterns over and over that come from my experience as a web developer in the before time. I say things like "look at X project in Y folder to see how it's done there.". I got a bit tired of this, so I made AI Boost ( https://ai-boost.io ) (Yes, I use Claude, how could you tell?). It's a simple MCP server that allows snippets to be pu...

What is the real cost of computing and token futures market

Quick context: China is designing a futures market for AI tokens, with the Shanghai Futures Exchange in early stages of designing contracts for AI tokens here AI inference is becoming a real commodity cost, and nobody's hedged a commodity market that doesn't have a transparent, trusted spot price first. Oil futures didn't show up before oil pricing did. Same logic should apply here, but right now "the price of a token" is whatever each provider's pricing page says today, with no hi...

Do you think most people are using AI more as a tool or as a replacement for thinking?

I’ve noticed that some people use AI just to speed things up or get quick answers, while others seem to rely on it more and more for ideas, writing, decisions, and problem-solving. It made me wonder where most people actually stand. Do you think AI is mostly being used as a helpful tool, or has it started replacing a lot of people’s own thinking and creativity?

New survey: ~half of Americans don't recognize Sam Altman or Dario Amodei. Does name recognition shape how AI gets judged?

A national survey compared favorability and name recognition for 8 major tech executives, and the recognition gap is what stood out. The people most associated with building AI, Altman, Amodei, Huang, are unknown to a third to a half of the country, while opinions about tech as a whole keep getting measured through Musk and Zuckerberg, who most people know and view negatively. Tim Cook was the only one clearly above water. If most Americans can't name the people building AI, whose reputation is ...

Ask HN: At what point does AI regulation lead to confiscation of compute?

With everything going on lately regarding AI policy, and the cat already being out of the bag with AI systems that can run on feasibly obtainable personal compute, at what point do things tip over governments confiscating said compute in order to enforce a certain regulatory goal? Today's regulation is mostly targeted at frontier labs, hyperscalers, chip makers, etc. But if compute is the choke point, and things are getting more efficient, where is the limiting principle "on the way down"? At wh...
