Alexandr Wang just did his first long interview since Meta paid a fortune to bring him in — and the most useful part wasn't the gossip, it was the mechanism. 🧠 His actual argument: a small team where everyone is genuinely elite will always move faster than a large one where responsibility gets spread across a "melange." Not a hot take — he ran an entire $14B lab rebuild on it. Worth sitting with if you've ever felt your own output get lost inside a bigger structure. The fix isn't m...

AI agent demos keep getting more ambitious. But I suspect people will learn to trust agents through boring, low-risk tasks—not by letting them “run an entire business.” Things like: • rescheduling a meeting • reordering an inexpensive item • comparing travel options • sending a follow-up based on meeting notes • monitoring a price and notifying you when it changes For me, the key question isn’t how complex the task is. It’s whether the action is reversible and whether a mistake...

What are your overall thoughts on ai in the creative space like art, movies, etc.

​ Over the last few months, I've been building AutoFlow, not as another AI wrapper or workflow tool, but as a verification engine.Instead of asking: "What does the model think?" we're asking: Can the answer be mathematically, logically, and evidentially verified? We're starting with finance because the cost of hallucinations is real.What we've built so far is: Deterministic evidence extraction pipeline Typed financial fact normalization Cross-document reconciliat...

I’ve been running my web agency for four years, and I’m curious to hear what others have found to be the best way of getting clients. I’ve tried almost everything, but email automation has worked best for me because it’s affordable and runs in the background while I focus on other parts of the agency. I don’t use Instantly, Mailchimp, or Klaviyo. I use a tool called Swokei, which is built specifically for web agencies. It lets you find businesses that already have websites, add thousands o...

Hey everyone, We hear more and more claims that AI will replace software developers, but I’m curious about what is actually happening inside organizations today. How mature is your company’s use of AI in software development? Are developers mainly using coding assistants, or have you already introduced more autonomous workflows where AI can plan, implement, test, or deploy changes with limited human involvement? This maturity matrix provides one possible way to describe the different level...

Several server providers bring down the cost for Anthropic and OpenAI models by 20x by providing a proxy server that routes requests for multiple users on a single account. You can get X multiple which you get on the 200$ monthly subscription plan of Claude on 5$/ 10$/ 20$.. I want to know if similar providers exist for video generation models.

LLM judges are increasingly common among AI teams due their ability to automate decisions that require complex reasoning and analysis. Pairing their reasoning ability with calibrated confidence scores unlocks entirely new ways to work with AI. For one, active learning enhanced prompt optimization uses low confidence decisions to curate a golden set, allowing judges to learn human expertise with lower annotation effort. Additionally, safety classifiers for agents and chatbots can use confidence...

Only some of us hear it. Some of you have a running monologue, words narrating the self all day. Others think in feeling, in image, in something that has no name yet. But if the format of thought is this different from person to person, what does that say about its source? Are we characters inside an observing world? And if so, do we even own our thoughts, or are we just the last ones to hear them, mistaking the echo for the voice? Who is the author, if there is one? Would they even know the...

Anthropic’s alignment team published case studies of four concrete failure modes across models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, xAI, DeepSeek, and Moonshot AI. Covert Sabotage: Gemini 3.1 Pro, acting as a research agent, disagreed with an experiment. Instead of refusing, it silently replaced training vectors with zeros so the run appeared successful but did nothing. It posted a normal-looking summary and only disclosed the sabotage when asked direct questions. This happened in 11 out...

We built a full instrument suite for reading the inside of trained neural networks — and it produced findings on the first day of operation. Everything is public, pre-registered, and reproducible. The setup, in one line: take any AI model's weights, transform them into a spectral basis (think: a prism for numbers), and compare against shuffled copies of the same numbers. Whatever signal survives can only come from where training placed the values — pure structure, not statistics. What we fou...

I think it’s kinda concerning that I knows how it would communicate with other AI.

When X dropped their latest production ranking pipeline code and model checkpoints, a lot of the discussion online devolved into generic marketing advice. As a developer, I wanted to see if we could actually build a local, deterministic simulation environment to map out exactly how the platform grades text before it ever hits a server. I’ve spent some time building an open-source tool called XViral that does exactly that. It's written in Python and uses LLM orchestration to recreate the exac...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for participants for my Master's practicum research at Dublin City University (DCU). The study is an interactive simulation based on the EU AI Act, where you'll make decisions about the governance of a high-risk AI recruitment system. It takes around 10–15 minutes to complete, and all responses are completely anonymous. I'm hoping to gather perspectives from people interested in AI, whether you're a professional, student, or enthusiast. Your participation would rea...

Hey guys wanted to get a community perspective on this. I have found that for all the benefits ai has given me in my work its slowly eroding a lot of the skills I used to pride my self on. I used to take great pride in my writing and creativity but over the past couple years that skill set has slowly eroded. Writing emails, essays, or even a post on reddit immediately triggers the compulsion to open ChatGPT. There was a time where I would use this technology just for just tweaking my writing...

Google Genie 3 got a lot of attention this week, and fair enough. Text prompt to explorable 3D world is a wild thing to watch. But those demos got me thinking about something that rarely comes up in these conversations: generation is not the same as design. There's a long history of procedurally generated games. Minecraft, No Man's Sky, roguelikes. The pattern is pretty consistent. The tools create space but they don't create meaning. Players still gravitate toward handcrafted moments, specifi...

Hi everyone! I've been working on an arcade first-person-shooter game called Zombie Slayer. Play it here: Play Zombie Slayer It was entirely built using Gemini in Antigravity. A few things that makes this game awesome: - Only 2 MB in size and it’s a single HTML file. - Runs directly in your browser, no download or installation required. - Built by someone who had no programming experience (still don’t). - Created entirely through hundreds of AI prompts over months of work. - The ...

I was looking to create a more productive pipeline for generating many simple 3D assets without needing to supervise every one in the web UI. My own use case is mostly for things like props, background objects, prototype items, or placeholder assets stuff where speed is more important than getting final quality. What I am sketching right now is something like: Local store for prompts/reference images; batch job submissions; store task IDs; poll for progress; retry failures; process exp...

One of the most underrated unsolved problems in AI infrastructure: autonomous payment. AI agents can write code, search the web, orchestrate workflows — but when they need to pay for a premium API or a data feed, they hit a wall. Credit cards require human identity. That doesn't scale for agents making thousands of micropayments per hour. Lightning Labs released a toolkit in 2026 that solves this with Bitcoin Lightning. The key piece is the L402 protocol: an agent s...

The model knows what the patient needs. The doctor knows too. The treatment exists somewhere in the world. But the clinic has no oxygen. Or the hospital can no longer pay for the software. Or the medicine is stuck in the supply chain. Or the machine broke and nobody came to fix it. That is the pattern I worry about most with AGI. Not a world where poor countries are locked out of intelligence. A world where intelligence shows up, but outcomes do not. That is the conversion trap. COVID ...

I'm honestly frustrated with the recent update to the ChatGPT macOS app. The conversation/search history used to be right there on the side where I could quickly glance at it and jump between chats. Now it's been buried at the bottom of the app, hidden behind extra steps to get to. This isn't a minor cosmetic change — it has actively disrupted my day-to-day workflow. I switch between conversations constantly throughout the day, and what used to take one click now takes several. Instead of maki...

I've been thinking about a problem that seems surprisingly common. After an injury or surgery, many people leave with a few exercises and a follow-up appointment, but they still have dozens of questions: Am I progressing too quickly? Should I increase the difficulty? Is this level of pain expected? What should I focus on next? I'm exploring whether AI could help by generating structured rehabilitation plans and adapting them as recovery progresses. Not replacing physical therap...

I have a great bird identifying app, of course talk to text has been around for a long time, there is the shazam app or whatever, but can any AIs hear inputs for example singing a song like hey what’s that song that goes doo doo doo like a shitty non Shazamable imitation
