Nike's AI Lesson at the World Cup: Try It On a Human First

Nike's AI-designed World Cup jerseys must be steamed to fix a shoulder problem. Good example of AI skipping the step where someone tries it on a real human first. $100+ jerseys with a known cosmetic defect. https://futurism.com/future-society/nike-ai-world-cup-jerseys-scandal

Models and the rake problem

Models have an extremely eloquent relationship with the rake; it can identify the rake, explain why stepping on it is bad, produce a moving little meditation on rake dynamics, then immediately step on it again while narrating the moral injury of garden tools.

A study found 59% of the videos TikTok serves new accounts are AI "slop"

Kapwing set up fresh TikTok accounts and found 59% of the videos served to them were AI slop, synthetic visuals or low-effort AI voiceover compilations. That's about three times what they saw on YouTube Shorts. Kids' content was worst: 57% overall, and 97% under the #CartoonKids tag. TikTok does offer a "see less AI content" option on the For You Page, which tells you they're aware of it. https://aiweekly.co/alerts/kapwing-59-of-new-tiktok-feeds-are-ai-slop submitted by...

Apparently OpenAI's next voice model can listen and talk at the same time without freezing up

Okay this is just floating around as a rumor right now but if true it's actually huge Next voice model is supposedly called GPT-Bidi-1, bidi for bidirectional, meaning it listens and talks at the same time instead of doing that thing where it just freezes the second you say "mm-hm" or try to jump in Can apparently adjust mid sentence too if you interrupt it which current voice mode absolutely cannot do If even half of this is true this fixes the most annoying thing about talking to ...

A 4b model is now beating 30b ones at web research and the reason is not size

A small thing from this month's model releases stuck with me more than the usual flagship leaderboard race, because it points at where the interesting progress actually is. A 4 billion parameter open model reportedly beat every open source model in the 30 billion class on a couple of hard web research benchmarks. Not matched, beat. A model you could run on a laptop outperforming ones roughly eight times its size on the specific task of going out, reading sources, and answering a multi step quest...

OpenAI Built Intelligence. Who Will Build Trust?

AI models have become incredibly capable. ​ But one problem remains: ​ Trust. ​ Even state-of-the-art models hallucinate, especially in high-stakes industries like finance and healthcare. ​ At AutoFlow, we're researching whether AI outputs can be externally verified through: Knowledge graphs ​ Mathematical consistency checks Symbolic reasoning Verification certificates ​ Instead of asking: "Is the model confident?&quo...

The Reason Most Web Designers Never Make Real Money

I've seen a lot of successful and struggling web design companies, and the biggest differentiator between the two is strategy. It's all about positioning and your offer. First of all, you've got to give businesses an offer they can't refuse. Selling a website is a multiple step process. It's not just convincing someone to pay you and then starting the work. It's crazy how many people still try to sell websites that way, but unfortunately you won't find much luck with that today. What I do to...

AI helps me get work done faster, but my day still doesn't feel finished.

Does anyone else feel this gap? The more routine tasks get automated, the more work I can move forward in a day. But...the feeling of "I'm done for today" still has to come from me. It feels a little different from actually closing the day by myself, I think.

A map of the Agentic Future

Hey guys, I have been thinking a lot about where the current tech paradigm may ultimately lead. Everyday I see a ton of new products : better assistants, better automation, better this, faster that… But what is going on here is much deeper than a betterment of existing use cases. My current hypothesis is that we are shifting from a world of direct interaction to a world of representation where everyone and everything will have an agent. And I mean it : corporations, brands, places, institu...

Environments AI generating and running code for physics simulations?

For e.g. physics research, a perfect situation would be providing e.g. Lagrangian of model, and AI environment should generate code for simulations and run them presenting results - so we could literally talk with it regarding succeeding tests. I know only one such environment: https://github.com/openwave-labs/openwave/blob/main/MODELS.md - are there any others? How should such perfect tool look like?

Cut Your Token Spend by up to 95% with This Open Source Project

I was browsing GitHub, looking for interesting open source projects, when one caught my eye. I do not do that often, but I keep reminding myself to do it more. Open source is having a special moment, as coding agents are helping people build more repos than ever. Still, many of the best ideas are hiding in plain sight. The project is called Headroom . At the time, it had around 2,000 GitHub stars and claimed to reduce token usage by 60% to 95% when using Claude Code and the rest of the codi...

Ask HN: Does your mind drift while waiting for AI prompts to finish?

I've been a software engineer for 9 years now, and I noticed a very new weirdness in my workflows. Once I finish the architecture of a project and i have my context engineering prompt ready, I hit SEND, and then is just void lol. I have realized that between that time of waiting till AI is done, my mind drifts, I go use other apps, search random stuff and if AI fucks things up I go back and forth supervising it. I feel like this whole experience has generated some kind of fatigue and comes with ...
