I've never been a big fan of AI because I totally agree with the Pope (this is the only thing I agree with the Pope on) that the AI companies are deliberately mimicking human responses in order to sucker us into unhealthful relationships with a machine. Then I read this article and shazzzzam it made sense to me. Wow, it really seems to be that an AI system exhibits all the symptoms of a sociopath. It's like these giant tech companies are telling us that they are going to help us all by putti...

Everyone talks about ChatGPT and Claude, but I need some AI tools which are more suited for productivity or investing. Has anyone used anything for the above stuff?

on a real 356-note vault: - ~5k tokens to answer a question vs ~482k to paste the whole vault. -99%! - recall@8 = 1.00 on simple lookups: easy. - multi-hop (answer 2-3 links deep): keyword and vector score 0%, link-walking gets 100% ! - same query, 5 runs, 1 result. Deterministic. it means that is code not a LLM! `wikimoth install` wires it into Claude Code, and from then on it's hands-off: each session you finish gets saved as one linked markdown note, and your recent notes load back ...

I started using Claude seriously because it felt like the first AI that really clicked with how I think. It was thoughtful, good with long writing projects, good at tone, and good at helping me turn half-formed thoughts into something coherent. For a while it felt less like using a tool and more like having a really sharp writing/thinking partner. But over time I started feeling more and more stressed about usage. Every prompt felt like I had to decide whether it was “worth” spending premium m...

Saw this on Computerworld today and i've been thinking about it since Founder of JD.com said robots will replace all 700,000 of their delivery workers. Didn't sugarcoat it, didn't give a timeline, just said it's coming What got me was he also said he doesn't want his workers going hungry because of it, and their solution is retraining some of them to fix the robots taking their jobs. 700,000 people. That's not a rounding error. Do you guys think this is actually as close as they're maki...

Leaked planning documents obtained by Bloomberg describe a Russian state-linked operation called "Project 2026," run by the Social Design Agency (SDA), with the stated goal of seeding the information layer that AI chatbots and search engines draw from. This is a structurally different threat than the bot and social media campaigns practitioners have long accounted for. The documents describe three components. A German-language Wikipedia clone is designed to look like legitimate refer...

I'm interested in learning about the real benefits of AI in education right now. How exactly do you use AI in your teaching or learning? When it comes to editing and finalizing texts, do you prefer AI tools, or do you believe a real human editor is still a first-class and indispensable tool?

Interesting blog post about how semantic transformations (not agents) will automate a lot of the decision work that happens in the corporate environment.

The AI buildout is bottlenecked by energy. But this doesn't mean there is an energy shortage. Instead, the constraint is connecting the flood of new data centers and the plants to power them to the electric grid. Before any new piece of infrastructure can be connected, grid operators must study how it will change power flows around the grid and determine whether upgrades to the system are required. That process is significantly backlogged. Though the median power plant in 2005 waited less than 2...

I really appreciate how fast AI can deliver me answers. But I'm concerned about AI's accuracy and, therefore, efficacy. I really don't want to inject a bunch of erroneous information into my knowledge base. But I also want to benefit from the increased efficiency and make myself more knowledgable, faster. Because of this, I am interested in exploring ways to automate fact-checking for AI. I mean, I could do it myself, but that ruins the efficiency gains. If I have to fact check everything myse...

On vacation you sometimes drive more than you ever normally would. The more I drive with Gemini running Android Auto the more I hated using Android Auto for anything. And since some of my best work is done out of spite — here we are. This is a long one… but I actually paid the money to do some real research not to just say that Gemini sucks… but specifically HOW it sucks… and how even when it is winning it is still losing when compared to GPT-5.5… because even when GPT-5.5 failed, it at least ...

This just happened while prompting. It this common because it's disturbing. If I didn't know the answer generally before asking I might believe the answers.

Dean Ball — who just joined OpenAI as head of Strategic Futures after advising on AI policy in the Trump White House — makes a pointed argument about China's chip narrative: The public posture is "we don't need American chips." The private reality, he argues, is that DeepSeek, Alibaba, and China's other leading AI labs are lobbying Beijing hard for access to exactly those chips. His take: China banning its own AI companies from using American chips isn't strength — it's national pr...

Mine is that video generation and image generation hasn't been as groundbreaking as I thought. I don't know what I expected , but when Sora was first shown it felt like a whole new world was upon us. Even when the Studio Ghibli generations were going viral. Now it feels like coding is the real purpose of AI and the video and images are just kind of for slop and bot accounts.

Hey everybody, I just sent issue #36+#37 of the AI Hacker Newsletter , a weekly round-up of the best Hacker News threads around AI. I missed sending it last week, so a huge issue this week. Some of the titles you can find here: AI demands more engineering discipline. Not less Running local models is good now Cleaning up after AI rockstar developers Not everyone is using AI for everything Norway imposes near ban on AI in elementary school If you want to receive a weekly email w...

I’ve been building Agent Profiles in Row-Bot around a simple idea: A personal AI agent should not run every task with the same tools, context, skills, workspace access, and approval rules. Research, review, development, automation, and delegation all need different runtime boundaries. Here is the architecture.

I am trying to access Claude for some time but am unable to do it, is anyone else facing the same problem?

AutoFlow Research Initiative — Looking for Deep Technical Thinkers Over the last several months, I've been exploring a question that sits at the intersection of AI, verification, trust, and decision systems: Can we build systems that independently verify claims produced by AI rather than simply generating answers? The original idea began with financial analysis. Consider a statement such as: "Company revenue grew 25% year-over-year." Today, most AI systems generate this cla...

I've noticed that AI app development seems more accessible than ever. Between open-source models, APIs, and no-code tools, it feels like almost anyone can launch an AI-powered product today. At the same time, the competition is intense. Every week there's a new AI assistant, chatbot, or productivity tool entering the market. It makes me wonder whether the challenge has shifted from building the technology to actually creating something people want to use. A friend of mine works at a startup ...

This is not an agent. Built a personal agent with a simple job: take a note, structure it, file it, handle version control. Spent weeks tightening the spec. Hunting redundant rules. Convinced I was making progress. Toward what, exactly? Turns out I'd never defined "optimized." So I replaced it with other vague words like "reliable" and "no drift" — which I'd also never defined. Then I ran tests. With no baseline. Scoring criteria I invented myself. Produc...

The more I look at AI deployments, the less I think AI is replacing employees. It seems to be replacing junior repetitive tasks. Customer support: AI can answer 1,000 tickets simultaneously. Coding: AI writes boilerplate, tests, and documentation in minutes. Research: AI can read 100 papers faster than a human can read 5. But here's the weird part: Several companies are also reporting higher AI bills than expected. Because the actual stack becomes: AI → monitoring → human rev...

For me, AI has mostly taken over repetitive research and drafting tasks. What's something you used to spend a lot of time on that AI now handles?

I've been using AI agents like OpenCode, Claude Code, and Cursor for months. They're great with code, but when they need to search or browse the web, things get complicated: Cloudflare blocks them, JavaScript-heavy sites don't load, APIs cost money. So I built browser-search . It's three open source tools orchestrated by a skill, fully self-hosted: SearXNG — metasearch engine that queries dozens of search engines at once Camofox — full browser via REST API, always warm, for browsi...

We talk a lot about superintelligent AI, Dyson swarms, and civilizations spanning the Solar System. But do you think humanity will actually create superintelligent AI someday, or is it one of those ideas that always stays "50 years away"? Is AGI and superintelligence an inevitable step in evolution, or are we massively underestimating the challenges? Curious to hear what people think — realistic future, or just optimistic speculation?

Would you do thisIf I ran a cheap, AI. Server in my house that uses no water, and it literally runs locally at my house. Would you guys use it? If it costs a tiny bit of money, but free for some part because i'm thinking of making a website for something like this

I had a question if they're working on or if there ever is going to be required water marks required in videos made by ai? Because I learned that all images generated by Google image generators have water marks embedded within the code of the pic that only a computer can see. So at least with Google images you can use a computer to scan it to tell it was made by a computer. I was hoping that there will be a future where this is so and required of all ai generated stuff. Because maybe in the futu...

The behavioral pattern was first observed in GPT, Claude and is what motivated this project. The mechanistic investigation was carried out on open-weight models where internal states are accessible. Hi Reddit, I am posting this as a preface to a larger set of experimental results and as a request for technical review. The observation that started this project came from repeated interactions with Claude. I noticed that when the model first read a long, structured, analytically dense text, i...
