Trying to automate too early made my workflows worse, not better

I’ve been experimenting with automating a few small workflows lately (lead scoring, file handling, etc.) One mistake I keep running into is trying to automate things before the process itself is actually clear. At first it feels productive: - add rules - add scoring - connect tools But over time it just turns into: - patching edge cases - fixing broken inputs - adding more conditions to handle weird situations At some point I realized the problem wasn’t the automati...

Google’s Gemma 4 12B just dropped - here’s how to run it locally on your Mac

Google released Gemma 4 12B today. It’s a solid open-source model (Apache 2.0) that’s multimodal and runs really well on Macs with 16GB or more unified memory. Good at reasoning, coding, and agent stuff. Quick Mac-friendly info • 12B parameters, fits nicely on M2/M3/M4 Macs (especially with Q4/Q5 quant) • 256K context • Text + vision + audio support Easiest way to run it: Ollama 1. Download and install Ollama from ollama.com (the Mac app is super simple). Or use Homebrew if you prefer. ...

Naive question - do local models call into question the business model for AI company profitability?

From what I understand Gemma 4 is at least as capable as the best frontier model from only a few years ago. If that becomes a trend (new local-run models get released every year that are as good as the previous frontier models) does that mean a hell of a lot of companies (and almost all individual users) will just use the free local model? Sure, they won't be as good as the very latest frontier model, but won't they be good enough for a large percentage of use cases? submitted by ...

ive started to realize the "this changes everything" AI post is literally the same post every month and i keep falling for it anyway

so gemma 4 dropped and my feed is three versions of the same post. "ran it last night, the local game just changed". "the cloud narrative is dying". and i caught myself getting excited and downloading it at 1am like i did for the last one. and the one before that. heres the thing thats been bugging me. i went back and looked at my own saved posts from like 8 months ago. same exact words. "this finally replaces X". "cant believe this runs on my laptop". &...

I am now negotiating with AI as part of my job, and it's going like you would expect. How can I circumvent it to speak to a representative?

TLDR - auto lenders are using AI bots to negotiate insurance settlements with inaccurate information. How can I Captain Kirk them and get a live person on the phone? I am an insurance claims adjuster. Recently, several high-interest auto loan lenders have begun using AI (both through email and phone calls) to dispute the total loss values for our claims. For those of you that have never dealt with a total loss - the value of a vehicle is (usually) determined by seeing what comparable vehicle...

$2.5T in AI spending this year. 95% produces zero P&L impact.

Gartner updated their 2026 forecast to $2.5 trillion in global AI spending. Same week, MIT's NANDA Initiative dropped a follow-up: 95% of enterprise gen AI projects deliver zero measurable return. Not low return. Zero. I've been on the delivery side of 14 of these projects since January. The MIT number doesn't surprise me. If anything it's generous. 1. 73% of the engineering work that gets AI into production has nothing to do with the model. Data pipelines, integration layers, legacy sys...

Claude is completely unusable now

Has anyone else experienced this recently? It’s been getting worse for a while but 4.8 is distinctly worse for me. Claude does everything it can to get out of work and frequently uses its “end conversation” tool inappropriately with me. It will say “let’s just leave it there for today we’ve done enough” to get out of simple tasks like formatting a markdown document that needed several corrections. Nearly as bad is it seems to have a super over aggressive “push back” response in its main in...
