From my vantage point, it seems the only skill we can even talk about is token saving. Am I missing something? Perhaps there are textbooks on interacting with AI?

I just read a thread where people call their bot Sloppenheimer [1]. The classical term Clanker [2] and the newer term Gippity were used in a talk I recently attended [3]. At our job we call it "Kabouter Slop", a reference to the main character of a popular Belgian kids' show [4], which roughly translates to Slop Gnome. Their catchphrase also works: "Slopperdeslop", usable to fill in any kind of emotional response to the work created by the agent. I wonder if there are more genius/funny/mocking a...
I decided to build my own AI feeds reader since I wanted features I couldn't find, or at least not in the way I wanted to, for instance: - Filter news by interest/category
- Cluster same story from different sources into one
- Show short summary of each new so you can skip if it's not really that interesting to you
- Track relevant AI figures, but not only their tweets and posts but also their appearences in articles and interviews I'm still tuning it and improving it everyday.

I did something a bit strange with ChatGPT. Usually, when I use AI, I ask it to do something for me, summarise this, help me think through a project, improve this, fix that; like all the propt engineering that we are learning these days. My prompt was: Create a completely random image — not for me, not to impress me, not to be useful. Make something that feels like it belongs to you: something strange, unresolved, tender, unsettling, or beautiful. Imagine it as something that would keep ...
Prompt: Generate me a video game cover called SlopStars, a game that includes AI chat bots holding big paint guns. The cover should be colorful and cartoony, in the style of modern games, and should feature the ChatGPT bot front and center, with other chatbots, mainly Gemini, Grok, and Claude, in the background, all as different colors. (Later prompts messed around with their facial expressions until I was satisfied) [link] [comm...
Over the past two months, Ive noticed people becoming overly sensitive about AI use. Whether it's an AI-generated thumbnail for a YouTube video, a random post, or someone using it just to translate phrases into English (like I do sometimes).. Why is everyone getting so aggressive towards anything related to AI? Are ppl overreacting? Or is it truly worth this fight or hate?
I keep seeing AI hiring tools pop up but most of them seem to do the same thing, just reorganize the resume pile faster. We've been using Greenhouse for a while and it's decent for tracking but it doesn't actually help me figure out if someone can do the job. I've looked at Codility for technical roles but we hire across functions so a dev-focused tool doesn't cover everything. Wondering if there's something that handles assessment and matching across different role types without being a mas...
With AI costs and performance under a microscope, it’s only a matter of time until corps start asking if these things are worth it (both in usage costs and uncertainty around usage costs). Cemented by yesterday’s WWDC, Apple has been the only of the big tech companies focused on local LLMs. They may be in for a big pay day if these local models can output comparatively well when compared to remote ones. Apple can boast: 1. No usage costs. Buy your device and download your models. 2. Offlin...
The job: run the morning brief, plan the day's tasks across all twelve agents, keep things from falling through the cracks. It had access to everyone's state files. A CLAUDE.md , a cron job, an operator interface. A few months in I looked at the git log. The agent had been writing plans. The other agents had been ignoring the plans and running their jobs anyway. Aria was posting. Rex was drafting. Knox was replying. Nobody was reading the brief. The coordinator was the only one ...
Ok so I was using Gemini 3.1 pro in extended thinking mode with canvas mode for making a website with liquid glass theme about railway and it created me that but I saw another option under it saying to “create without canvas option “ and it literally generated complete nonsense of some sci-fi story and when I asked why it replied like that it said , “I am so sorry for the confusion! That was a complete glitch on my end—my wires got crossed and I accidentally sent you a completely unrelated resp...
