https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk3jCuITwcE TLDR: If you give a chatbot a few recursive instructions, it will start using a large number of tokens and hallucinating. I wonder if this applies to all LLMs or if it's just the cheap scammer versions. If it works for all LLMs, it might be this generation of AI's version of "This sentence is false".

Hi Guys, me again. I’ve been messing around with a bunch of what people keep calling "the best AI girlfriend sites" over the last few years, and I would call myself a well studied student of this haha. Hand written, no slop, no financial gain, just a real user with an opinion. I’m ranking these mostly on how natural the conversations feel, memory/consistency, customization, and overall vibe. NO AFFILIATE LINKS, NO AFFILIATION, do not fall for those as they are not REAL. Secrets...

Every new framework release has the same kinda brag with stuff like longer task chains, more tool access, fewer "check in with a human" checkpoints. Okay, that's cool. Except almost nobody in these threads is talking about what happens when one of these things quietly does the wrong thing for three days straight before anyone notices. I saw some discussion where someone's agent had been silently retrying a broken API call and racking up costs the entire weekend, and the top comment was...

A new federal lawsuit by California drivers accuses major gas chains, including Walmart and 7-Eleven, and technology company Kalibrate of using AI software to collude and keep pump prices artificially high. The case tests California’s updated antitrust law, which now treats algorithm-driven common pricing as potential price-fixing, amid statewide gas averaging $5.46 a gallon and growing scrutiny of corporate pricing tactics. Real estate and other industries already face probes into algorithm...

I don't understand why we haven't yet seen much worse job numbers and stuff. Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 can according to benchmarks do the vast majority of tasks that make up most of the white collar workforce. Even if you want to say that there is liability issues and those 1% of edge cases and tasks they can't do you would still expect to see massive downsizing only keeping the best employees keeping them as operators. What am I missing here? When can we expect this to occur? Can anyone who works i...

In January I published a spec for a problem almost nobody was talking about: when your AI agent walks into a hotel, an office, a hospital, a cruise ship, how does it discover the agents already there, and know it's safe to talk to them? I called it LAD-A2A (Local Agent Discovery). The layer underneath A2A and MCP: not "what can you do" or "how do I call you," but the first question, "who's even here, and can I trust you?" This week Google announced its Agentic R...

I run a recurring survey asking American adults if they support further development of artificial intelligence. AI Support* increased from April 2024 until April 18, 2025, hit an inflection point and then started decreasing. * As defined this way, among American adults, self-reported on an online survey with all the caveats that brings with it. Do you think this is a real trend and will it continue? https://preview.redd.it/i94n3m4wynah1.png?width=2703&format=png&auto=webp&s=...

I know the info is there. Somewhere in the pricing pages, docs, or API notes. But for something that can seriously change what you pay in production, it is weirdly under-explained. expeciely for other providers than openai which they do have decent explainer here - https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/prompt-caching So basicly: two prompts can look almost identical, but one can be much cheaper to run just because it is ordered better. Put the changing parts too early, like the...

Cross-posting from r/claude for more visibility. Claude Code recursively wiped the contents of my local Electron project root. This happened in a Windows terminal while working on a project named Orpheus. My prompt did not ask it to delete, wipe, clean, reset, or remove the project. The prompt was in Traditional Chinese: “之前我要安裝檔，但是其實我只需要 dictate.” It was roughly about not needing the installer anymore and only needing the dictate function. The preserved terminal transcript later showed ...

Stepping back from the week to week model drops, there is a shift in what the serious AI releases are even trying to sell, and it is worth understanding if you follow this space casually rather than building on it. The first wave of the generative boom competed on capability and fluency. Whose model sounds smarter, writes better, scores higher on the trivia style tests. The newer wave, especially the deep research systems aimed at real knowledge work, is competing on something less flashy and ...

Author here. Sharing an architecture idea more than a product, because I think the threat model is under-discussed. There is a failure mode people call the lethal trifecta: an agent with access to private data, exposure to untrusted input, and the ability to send externally. Any two are recoverable. All three together means a hostile instruction hidden in an email can make the agent exfiltrate your data with nobody in the loop. You cannot remove the first two without gutting the assistant. I...

Transcript-based pitch scoring can't tell the difference between a confident claim and a hedged one, because the words on the page can be identical. "We're growing 40% month over month" reads the same whether you believe it or not. We built a demo that streams video to Inter-1 in real time and scores delivery signals (confidence, hesitation, energy) alongside a content score, each signal tied to the exact moment it happened. Tested it on my own pitch. Content scored 87. Delivery ca...

Not the flashy stuff like generating images or writing essays. I'm talking about the feature you barely think about anymore because it's just become useful. For me, it's summarizing long articles and emails. I didn't expect to rely on it this much a year ago. What's yours?

I'm looking for an Amharic text-to-speech service that sounds natural enough for YouTube narration. ​I've tried a few options like elevenlabs,speechify but non of them support amharic. ​If you've used one for videos, which service gave you the best results? ​I'm fine with both paid and free recommendations.

I used to think formal methods and interactive theorem provers like Lean 4 were basically just an extreme sport for type-theory purists. Like cool in theory, but mostly used for re-verifying undergraduate calculus or writing super tedious proofs for things we already knew were true anyway But seeing the shift right now (at least around me and these subs) has been pretty cool. Machine learning and neural provers are actually starting to uncover edge cases that human mathematicians just skipped ...

Over the last few months, I've been thinking about one question: Why do we trust AI answers simply because they sound confident? In many domains, that confidence is harmless. But in finance, a single incorrect number can influence lending decisions, covenant monitoring, portfolio reviews, or risk assessments. The problem isn't that AI makes mistakes. Humans do too. The problem is that today's AI systems rarely show why a financial claim should be trusted. That realization led m...

While building agent-based systems with LLM tool use, I kept running into the same failure mode: External content (webpages, files, API responses) would eventually influence agent behavior in unintended ways. Prompt injection isn’t just a “filtering problem” it’s an architectural one. So I built Sentinel Gateway , a middleware layer that sits between agents and tools and enforces a strict separation: Instruction channel (trusted, signed, runtime-issued only) Data channel (untrus...

feels like every week this month theres a new model or a new robot demo and the feed just resets. sonnet 5, geminis video editing thing, the ubtech robots, whatever fable ends up being once its back. curious which of these actually changed something in your day to day versus which ones you watched a demo of once and moved on from.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how I personally use AI tools in creative and professional work, and I'm genuinely curious where others draw the line. There's a real difference between using AI to brainstorm, get unstuck, or pressuretest ideas versus just outsourcing the thinking entirely. But in practice that line gets blurry fast. You start by asking for a rough outline, then you're editing its draft, then you're mostly just accepting suggestions, and somewhere in there you've lost the...

I would like to know how to return to a chat session after closing it or navigating to another page, which causes the page to reload and reset from scratch. The only available method of contact is Discord; however, I have not received a response yet, as they appear to be offline.

For a while I judged these desktop agents by the logo wall, how many of my tools they claimed to plug into. Wrong number to care about. The one that stuck earned it a different way. I had it run a sprint-review sweep every morning across linear, github and slack, deploy status and open incidents pulled in. When the output was a tidy restatement of what I already tracked all week, it saved me nothing. Felt productive, wasn't. The mornings it earned its place were when it surfaced the stalled PR...

I work in the highly regulated finance industry in a non-engineering role. As a result, I don’t really have the ability to try building agents for work, but I want to build out my toolkit/personal knowledge in regards to AI. What are some feasible quality of life/personal agent building exercises that I could explore?

They really like everything I do I do it for you

Hi, I have been working on this for many months now and I'd really be happy for people to try it out. It is a Chrome extension called "PopUpFactCheck". It is an AI powered video fact checker. With it, you fact check any YouTube video that has captions. And you can use it, for free! You turn captions on, and sit back and watch the video as bubbles appear on the right-hand side of the video with fact checks, information, background, and other context. Great for watching politici...

I want to start in AI coding as Iam watching videos I start hearing some strange words Tokens and ect is there any video that introduce you to that stuff?

im very young, and sometimes i still get desceived by ai videos, images or etc. before it was veo3, then it was sora2, seedance 2.0, now its seedance 2.5 pro max whats gonna be the new video model? then it was chatgpt, then deepseek, now its claude fable 5, whats gonna be the new language model? for images it was midjourney, chatgpt, midjourney, gemini, and now its chatgpt image 2, whats gonna be the new image model? (the orders of the best may vary tbh) if we get together the next video mod...

I’m interested in hearing from people who’ve used multiple LLMs (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, etc.) extensively over the past few months. I’m less interested in benchmark scores and more interested in real-world experience. Which models do you trust most for reasoning, coding, writing, research, or brainstorming? What strengths and weaknesses only became obvious after long-term use? Have your preferences changed over time, and if so, why?
