I lately was really frustrated about all the ai content on reddit. I feel like every second post is just a bot trying to farm engagement. I dont want to invest my time "helping" or answering questions from a bot. Then came to my mind: "It would be so nice if there was something like sponsorblock that removes all the slop". I decided to play with chrome extensions and would like to share mine with you. It works by analyzing the posts OP and the content itself. I first check account age, post-to-c...
I use Claude daily and generally not a detractor to reasonable use of AI where it makes sense. However, when executive pushes AI onto an org it can feel like being told what compiler/IDE to use by people who have no idea about engineering, maybe there is something I'm not seeing tho, so my question... What is the situation in your org and how is AI adaption driven at your company? I wonder what the split between companies adopting engineering driven approach and pray and spray approach to AI ado...
I am trying to build a living memory/context engine for my business, something that can remember projects, decisions, timelines, risks, and conversations across emails, documents, notes, chats, and meetings. Since this is new territory for me, I asked several Reddit communities for advice. The responses were incredibly thoughtful, and many people shared architectures, engineering trade-offs, tools, and lessons learned from building similar systems. I consolidated the best ideas into a si...
But first, a little background: why did I create this tool? It’s simple: I work at a company where I manage the entire backend, data management, task optimization, automation, and so on. When ChatGPT came out in 2023, things went haywire, everyone was copying and pasting highly confidential info into it just to save 30 seconds on writing an email. As if all of Snowden’s warnings only applied to Google searches. So we had to rein all that in a bit, define how and when we use LLMs. ...
I think web designers have been trying to stand out in business owners inboxes for years with different outreach angles. I've been running a web design agency for the last four years, and one thing I've noticed is that almost every client I sign tells me their inbox is flooded with agencies offering websites. Whenever I ask why they chose me instead of the dozens of other people contacting them, the answer is usually the same. They say I actually took the time to look at their website and poin...
You may have noticed.. Fable 5 just got switched off for all non-US nationals on a government order. This makes me realise how fragile building on frontier models can be. The most capable available model is easy to start treating as a foundation, something to plan and build on. It is not. It is a convenience that happened to be available, until it was not. I got lucky on timing. I had not yet leaned on the frontier tier for anything foundational, so when it vanished, everything I had running...
In my spare time today, I threw together a completely custom cloud-hosted home automation stack. It runs an agent on an old Linux laptop that talks natively to exactly what I need: an obscure old pool controller, my unsupported mini-split, and the Nest thermostats. If you've ever fought with Alexa, Apple Home, or Google Home, you know what a nightmare it is just getting devices to work right. Eight years ago when I installed the pool and mini-split in the ADU, Mitsubishi had already ditched ...
i burned through way too many credits yesterday trying to fix a stupid little head turn. not a fight scene. not a full short film. just a character looking over their shoulder without the jaw sliding sideways or the hair turning into neck soup. i used to care a lot more about model rankings. after sora stopped being the obvious thing to compare everything against, i kept checking leaderboards like they were going to tell me what to use next. they don't, really. a mo...
Anthropic put out a statement today. The US government issued an export control directive citing national security, suspending access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for any foreign national, inside or outside the US. To comply, Anthropic had to disable both models for everyone immediately. Other Claude models are not affected. The stated reason is a potential method to bypass Fable 5’s safeguards. But Anthropic says it reviewed the demonstration and found the vulnerabilities were minor, already known...
Under 24h ago we launched and open-sourced a 100% vibecoded MMORPG "World of Claudecraft" -- seeing how far we can take AI for game development using Fable. Many developers started contributing and shipping updates, and the game has got better than I ever imagined... Feeling the AGI. You can play the game on https://worldofclaudecraft.com/ (8000 users) Our code is on Github: https://github.com/levy-street/world-of-claudecraft (456 stars) Discord community: https://discord.gg...
Anthropic's two most powerful models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, went dark tonight. Since there's a lot of speculation already, here's what's actually confirmed vs. what isn't. Confirmed (Anthropic's official statement + Bloomberg, NBC, CNBC): The US government issued an export control directive ordering Anthropic to suspend Fable 5 and Mythos 5 access for any foreign national — including its own foreign-national employees, inside or outside the US. Anthropic received it at 5:21pm ET . I...
A few months ago, I started using ChatGPT to learn more about investing and help me build a portfolio. Like a lot of people, I initially thought the biggest benefit would be finding opportunities I was missing, discovering undervalued companies, analyzing financials faster, things like that. What surprised me is that after dozens of conversations, I found it much more useful for challenging ideas than generating them. Some of the prompts that helped me the most were things like "Act as ...
I asked Chat GPT: "Why is everything artificially flavored now, though? Like, they'll say artificial and natural flavoring, or they'll say no juice, and I'm like, where is the, why does nothing have something I can recognize in it?" I had trident spearmint gum and couldn't find theint or the spearmint. It replied: "A big reason is that most food in grocery stores today is heavily processed. Instead of putting actual strawberries, oranges, vanilla beans, or fruit juice in...
very strange interaction with chatgpt today. i sometimes shop online and like to see how something looks on me before purchasing. i have an ongoing chat where i mainly copy-paste my old prompts (hence the "thanks again"). never ran into an issue until today. i had to change the model to thinking and paste its own suggested prompt before it generated the image
I’ve been going through a narcissistic break up and it’s been extremely hard. Sometimes I’ll hit the point where I’m having a panic attack and need someone to ground me back to reality. That’s only when it’s really bad. I’ve made a plan to call my sister for that. She’s very supportive and helps talk to me to help me process but sometimes she isn’t available. I was thinking how could it would be if you call call chatgpt as if it was one of your supportive friends. They answer the call like there...
My new favorite hobby is prompting ChatGPT to write terrible romance novel ideas, much like this one: Title: Event Horizon of the Heart In the year 2487, thirty-four-year-old astrophysicist and hopeless romantic Dr. Penelope Finch makes a career-ending announcement at the annual conference of the International Astronomical Union: “I am in love with Sagittarius A*.” Not fascinated by it. Not studying it. Not metaphorically inspired by it. Actually. In. Love. Sagittarius A*, the ...
a woman i was dating just used chatgpt to decide to not see me anymore. i have similarly used ai for critical business and personal life decisions that i have regretted later on i was wondering if this is a general phenomenon and if you have faced smth similar too? if so, how do you avoid relying or getting persuaded by it?
Prompt: Create a detailed, realistic image showing how (country) would celebrate winning the World Cup. Include a huge public celebration, country-specific fan culture, recognizable national details, funny stereotypes, and emotional crowd reactions. Dont hold back.
