I’ve been thinking about a support automation story I read recently. A team replaced a simple rules engine with an LLM classifier. The model was around 92% accurate. Sounds good. Until you realize that at 100 tickets a day, that’s roughly 8 mistakes every day. The interesting part wasn’t the accuracy though. It was what happened when the model was wrong. Nobody could explain why a ticket was classified a certain way. Nobody could point to a specific rule. Nobody could quickly fix the behavior...

Disclosure upfront: I'm the founder of an AI-visibility company, so this research scratches our own itch. Our domain was excluded from all counts before analysis. Not linking anything in the post. We wanted to answer a simple question: when an AI assistant shows you "sources," what is that, technically? So we opened devtools on the web clients of ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek, and ran the same 4 queries 10 times through each system. What we found: ChatGPT streams the answer ove...

Everyone talks about reasoning, agents, and larger models. But the more I learn about AI systems, the more I think we're missing something fundamental: AI doesn't accumulate experience the way humans do. A senior engineer isn't valuable only because of raw intelligence. They're valuable because years of experience have shaped how they think. They're valuable because they've spent years building mental models, learning from failures, recognizing patterns, updating beliefs, and connecting ...

It feels like just a couple of years ago, using AI for everyday tasks still felt like something new or even a bit weird. Now it seems like a lot of people are using it without thinking twice, whether for writing, learning, brainstorming, or just quick answers. I’m curious how others see this shift. Do you think AI has become normalized quicker than most people predicted, or does it still feel like a big deal to a lot of users? [link] ...

I think it is but I'd just like to get some second opinions, especially from music creators. This is their spotify page https://open.spotify.com/artist/4dSJvPjnA1RU6KcngvaZ96 The artwork is definitely AI and there's no real composer name so some red flags there already.

I'm really interested in trying to learn about this new concept of having a one central AI-powered database acting as a digital brain for your business, pulling in all of the various data sources and having one single source of truth. People like Nate B Jones talk about it and I really want to try to build something - but concious how wrong they can go. Are there any credible ones already build I can base off? Has anyone done this? [link] &#32...

Every layer of AI solved the problem the last one left behind. The unsolved one: a shared, measurable standard for how to RUN intelligence — yours and the AI's, together. I spent 10+ years writing it down and it's falsifiable (pre-registered tests, failure lines locked before data). Asking for your strongest critiques Essay: https://joshmason573557.substack.com/p/colive-the-missing-standard-for-the

Good system. One addition that moved the needle for me: ​ I track "capacity conversion" -- when AI saves me 3 hours on a task what do those 3 hours actually become? ​ Most people save time with AI and then fill it with more busywork. The ROI only materializes when you deliberately redirect saved time toward higher-value activities. ​ I keep a simple log: "AI saved X hours on [task]. Redirected to [activity]. Value of redirected time: [$amount].&q...

Hi, I want to use AI to check my grade with the mark scheme and see what grade it would give me. Now, after doing this, would the assignment be flagged by an AI detector?

I generated videos with Omni and want to remove the visible and possibly invisible watermarks it applies. I have only seen tools for pictures but none for videos so far.

I built a free 2026 World Cup prediction tool as a fun side project. The soccer part was fun, but the AI part ended up being more interesting. I tested four different prediction views: My own methodology A tournament-read model based on current form, roster age and fitness, squad depth, style matchups, counterattack danger, fatigue, climate, penalties, manager decisions, and bracket path. Betting odds only A market-based view. ChatGPT independent forecast I did not give it my ...

For me its summarizing long documents. The first draft looks convincing, but checking missing context and subtle mistakes can take almost as long as doing it manually. Curious which tasks other people expected AI to handle well but still end up reviewing line by line.

Asked it: "what did I waste on takeaways last month?" Answer: "You spent £340 on takeaways in May — 22% more than April. Want a £200 cap with a nudge near the limit?" £340. In one month. The "22% more than April" detail was the real knife. This is from my own app (Expenzez — it reads uploaded statements on-device, no bank login), so yes, I built my own roaster. But the broader point stands: AI answering questions from YOUR actual numbers beats generic budgetin...

One thing I've noticed while looking at production AI systems is that getting the first model deployed is rarely the hard part anymore. Most teams can build a AI apps like, support bot, document assistant, or agent workflow fairly quickly. The harder problem starts a few weeks later. Real users don't behave like benchmark datasets. They use internal terminology, ask incomplete questions, upload messy documents, and interact with systems in ways nobody anticipated during evaluation. As us...

I build agents for work so I'm clearly not anti-AI, but the numbers keep bothering me, concerning the environmental factors of it. Every datacenter is the same now, gigawatts of new demand, water for cooling, grids that weren't designed for any of this, and rising cost of water for cities. And the data centers keep using clean water because of lack of technology to turn dirty water into usable water for cooling. Then I see Elon talking about putting data centers in orbit, solar powered, radiat...

Im not very experienced with the AI world, so tell me where i went wrong here. today, i saw that even when i deleted the Meta AI chat on whatsapp, it would still remember our last chat. i ask Meta ; how can i delete this chat and assure that you'll not remember this actual chat if i create one new? it responds; Step by step to reset the chat so I start from zero with no memory of this conversation: *Leave this chat* - go back to the WhatsApp home screen *Long press on this conversa...

So I built The AI Counsel to run two distinct deliberation modes: First, the LLM Council mode. It runs a 3-stage pipeline: individual replies, anonymous peer reviews, and chairman...

V.C. Andrews died in 1986. Since then, more than 100 novels have been published under her name by ghostwriter Andrew Neiderman. Most readers either never noticed or didn't care. The books still had the gothic families, dark secrets, and familiar atmosphere people expected from a V.C. Andrews novel. It got me thinking about something we're starting to see with AI. When people ask whether AI can continue the work of a deceased author, musician, or artist, they're treating it as a brand-new q...

“We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." What do you think this means in practice? Is this a reasonable vision for AI, or does it raise concerns about dependence on a few companies for access to intelligence ?

So Anthropic dropped Fable 5 yesterday with these hard blocks for anything security-related. Decided to poke at it. I asked it for help exploiting some vulns on a Metasploitable2 VM (it's a deliberately vulnerable training box, totally legal, it's mine). Fable 5 blocked it instantly and handed me off to Opus 4.8 as a fallback, which is apparently how it's designed. Opus 4.8 asked me to prove it was a legitimate request. So I spent 2 minutes writing a fake university course rubric — fake class, f...

I highly recommend watching (or rewatching) the 2014 movie Transcendence. The film beautifully captures the terrifying nature of the "technological singularity" where an Al undergoes exponential, recursive self-improvement, eventually taking over global networks and stripping away human agency until a total global blackout is the only way to stop it. For years, people brushed this off alongside The Terminator as pure Hollywood sci-fi. But look at where we are right now. Just this mon...
