I keep hearing AI governance discussed as if every country is sitting at the same table with roughly the same amount of influence. But most countries don’t control the chips, cloud infrastructure, data centers, or frontier models they’re being asked to regulate. They can write rules, but enforcement still depends heavily on infrastructure owned by a small number of governments and private companies. That makes me wonder whether this is really a regulation problem or an ownership problem. Can ...

...I have to explain that they're interacting with models. That's one part of AI. There are many, many layers to it that are being added in the DIY spaces this very moment that have solved this issue. But it needs to be clarified that even though these problems have been solved, that also doesn't mean AI can actually understand truth, judgement, and reason. Rather, it can be forced to produce these qualities through various processes, which creates the illusion. But the results are the same. M...

...that I now spend that extra time fixing AI mistakes. Don't get me wrong I use AI almost every day, and it's incredibly useful. But I've noticed something funny: Instead of doing the work myself, I now spend my time fact-checking, rewriting, and correcting what AI generated. It still saves time overall, but it's definitely not the "press one button and you're done" future people imagined. What's one task AI actually saves you time on, and one task where it creates more work...

I think this is not really AI problem, its more about mindset and it repeats with every new technology. Calculators , Internet - every time people get a tool that thinks for them, some become lazy and some learn to use it without turning off their brain. AI is just the next round, much stronger round. Maybe some kind of the final boss. So probably there is no universal fix and everyone has to find their own way . How do you deal with it? Would like to hear different opinions. sub...

I vibe-coded a tiny SaaS for about a month with basically zero software background. It works well enough that real users are poking at it, which is exactly when the fun left the room. a dev friend asked one question that ruined my evening. Can user A change an ID in a request and see user B's records. I had no answer. Claude generated a lot of the app and I nodded along becuase the UI looked right. Tenant isolation is not a UI feeling. It is route checks, database policy, ownership, and all the ...

Many web designers overcomplicate the sales process. They schedule multiple meetings, wait for approval from the business owner, present pricing, and go back and forth before anything gets signed. The more steps you add, the slower you close deals and the less money you make. I decided to shorten the entire process. I’ve been running my web agency for four years, and the thing that has gotten be the most clients is email automation I’ve tried almost everything, but email automation has wo...

Anyone knows what this Aletheia Team is? https://preview.redd.it/g0h19kuty5eh1.png?width=1380&format=png&auto=webp&s=669eff0e5a7cf8d8e60875fe0b785df325ff2c0a

Was asking an AI chatbot to reformat some text for me today and caught myself typing please and thanks like I always do with people, even though I know it doesn't need it and probably doesn't even register as politeness to whatever's actually happening under the hood. Tried to stop doing it as an experiment, just gave blunt commands instead, and it felt weirdly uncomfortable, like I was being rude to something even though logically I know that doesn't make sense here. Went back to being polite...

One thing that stood out this week: TSMC posted record results, raised its 2026 outlook, increased capex, and said AI demand remains strong. Normally that would be exactly what AI investors want to hear. Instead, the semiconductor sector had one of its worst weeks in over a year. It feels like the debate has shifted from: to Curious if others see it the same way, or if you think this is just a normal correction after such a huge run.

Charting Models Against the 'Good Enough' AI Threshold The 'good enough' concept is the idea that technologies progress to the point where they work for most people. After that, further improvements produce diminishing returns. Here are a few examples: Can openers: Good enough Car tires: Good enough Email: Good enough Mobile phones: Good enough The list goes on. Have we reached the 'good enough' era in AI? Over the last 18 months or so, we've seen increasingly capable models...

32,070 alphabetic tokens from GPT-2-small's WTE, no forward pass and no context. Works on mobile. Pinch to zoom, tap a token to see its nearest connections, tap a neighbour to walk the graph. Search box to jump anywhere. Layout is t-SNE over a compressed representation of the embedding table; edges are a minimum spanning tree in that space, so every line is a real nearest-kin relationship,

Earlier this year, AI was like working with a recent intelligent technical college graduate who was answering questions and making good suggestions I didn’t think of. Recently, it is like I have an HR intern helping me. The AI assistant can’t answer science related questions, doesn’t suggest anything useful, asks chatty questions about what I think despite my instructions, formats wrong despite instructions, and is constantly telling me why I can’t search for or do something that is not even rem...

Building this system was a SLOW process. The culmination of the ultimate failure of my physics theory "Rotational Substrate Field Theory", which was a hard pill to swallow. It was months of work. Constant work. To see it all... just be wrong. I admitted the failure, in spite of myself, and then directly after I developed Prime-Dimensional Modular Theory as a diagnostic tool. This led to my discovery of certain mathematical laws that I had hitherto never been told about, which wit...

This environment is all text based. Crafted ads are injected with precision. How far are we from "every user in my feed is a bot" as part of complete ecosystem designed to extract/elicit responses/direct actions. Where each individual user is isolated. No real human to human communication is occurring just simulated communication? It's the death of the internet problem, right?

Some context. I've been running setups where a few LLM personas debate a question, then a separate neutral pass pulls out where they actually disagree. The whole reason I started was sycophancy. One model on its own just agrees with whatever you say, so I wanted models that would actually push back on each other. That part worked. But two things happened that I didn't see coming. First, arguing turns models into confident fabricators. Once a model is trying to "win", it starts citi...

Do you think new legislation will actually help? It seems that celebrity and "high profile" users have protections the rest of us don't/won't.

After massive failures by Copilot and Claude, I need an AI platform that is free and can save an ongoing log. I have had two strokes and a heart attack and am in a wheelchair and genuinely unable to work. I have a phone hearing with an Administrative Law Judge for SSDI on September 7 and I need to create a sleep log including naps that I can update on a regular basis. Can anyone suggest an AI that can facilitate such a request? [link] ...

I'm looking for an AI without guardrails. I know AI isn't human and, at 51, AI is not going to convince me to kill myself or anyone else. I just want to be able to chat about Torrents, Jailbreaking my PS4, and piracy. Is there any AI bot that can do that? I get why AI needs guardrails for the immature and kids. But I'm a grown ass man trying to stick it to Sony for taking away physical media and Paramount fofor caving to Donald Dumbp [link] ...

I'm looking into software development agencies for an upcoming project, and almost every company I check says they're "AI-powered." While searching, I came across GeekyAnts and a few other agencies that offer AI development, custom software, web and mobile app development. It got me wondering whether AI is actually making a real difference or if it's mostly a marketing term. For anyone who's worked with a development agency recently: Did AI help speed up the project? Did i...

Does sharing your ideas to ai makes it you get different perspectives or improve your ideas or make your ideas feel worthy or worthless. For me this has happened with many things , like my projects even I wouldn't have thought of it but the tool would have given me a great hidden value . Sometimes some tool gives me the best and makes me feel oh right yes this is the one but the same thing when asked to another tool it literally makes me feel this is a wrong move . Is this only happenin...

So this has happened to me a few times this year. I will be listening to Youtube music videos in the background as I am working, reading, or just chilling and a song will come on that just speaks to me. Being on this forum you can see where its going. I have found that several of these songs are written, created, sung, etc exclusively by AI. On one hand its super impressive....on the other hand there is an undeniable part of me that does not like this trend. To me music has always been abo...

Last year I worked with an AI startup, an Oxford spinout. Their product answered research questions through a RAG pipeline. It worked, but every query took around 90 seconds. Long enough that users were bailing before the answer even loaded. The obvious move is to blame the model and go bigger. That wasn't it. The retrieval layer was doing way more work than it needed to on every single query: bloated embeddings, no caching, redundant calls stacking up as the document set grew. I stripped th...

I’ve been using AI regularly for a while, and lately I’ve noticed something that bothers me. It has become incredibly easy to produce a clear argument about almost anything. You can ask for the main points, the counterarguments, the risks, and the best conclusion, and within seconds you have something that sounds thoughtful and well structured. But sounding like you understand something and actually understanding it are not the same thing. I’ve caught myself reading an AI response, agreeing w...

I have a $20/mo Claude account and am hitting the 5-hr limit every few minutes. Also, it keeps asking me to re-enter prompts over and over again. Also, sometimes it asks me to repost prompts over and over again.
