As an independent researcher I've used various LLMs to help me dive deeply into research projects but I've been frustrated by the fact that LLMs start to become unusable after the thread has accumulated 50-80k tokens. I don't know how many other folks here have experienced the same pain point. So, I decided to do something about it. Over the course of this whole year, I built an inference time tool I call Epistemic Lattice Tethering (ELT). So, here is the full framework in GitHub for every...

Have you run into work that feels technically possible in principle, but in practice keeps stalling because of how current AI systems behave? Not asking for: bigger context windows better memory lower hallucination more agentic workflows I mean situations where: You are trying to discover something (not retrieve something), and the AI repeatedly pushes toward premature answers, stable interpretations, optimization, categorization, or coherence before the thing itself has had t...

Just a couple days ago, Anthropic put out a declaration to pause the development of AI, emphasising that we are not prepared for the consequences of giving this technology too much power too quickly. Is anyone else genuinely worried about future AI safety and how, as it becomes more and more intelligent, humans may start to lose control of it? Pumping billions of dollars into this technology only means it’ll get increasingly integrated into our workflows, which we are already starting to see...

Crytpo industry insiders are blaming the recent crash in Bitcoin price to capital rotation into AI stocks. I don't know how many folks here own Bitcoin and are also in the AI space, but I saw this writing on the wall rather early in November, 2025. Any other thoughts on this capital flow change from those who have a foot in each space?

I ran a small experiment on myself and the result broke my mental model of how AI "knows" things, so I'm sharing it. The setup: on May 11 I created a brand-new pseudonymous fantasy author entity ("Marin T. Kael") with no prior web footprint and no published book yet. Then I asked 5 web-connected AI systems the same 16 questions, every day, for 23 days, and scored every answer (+1 correct/source-grounded, 0 not found, -1 hallucinated). About 16,000 scored datapoints. The who...

What are the most valuable skills to learn in the AI era? Not skills like problem solving but more hands on. For someone who likes building stuff

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think AI will be more of a tool than a replacement for most jobs. AI still needs good prompts, clear instructions, and human oversight. The idea of fully automating everything sounds great, but in reality AI often gets stuck, makes mistakes, or fails on edge cases. I think AI will remove some repetitive tasks and make people more productive, but human judgment and decision making will still be needed. And yes im not a professional it is just my POV so dont just ...

Disclosure: I work on the benchmark below, so flagging that up front. We've been testing whether LLMs can critique recent science-paper summaries — catch planted flaws, overclaims, and missing evidence — and, separately, how calibrated they are about their own judgments (confidence scored with Brier, a strictly proper rule). The pattern that keeps showing up: the models best at spotting problems are also among the most confidently wrong when they miss. Critique skill and calibration look l...

Is this significant news?

Who governs AI agents once they're running in production? I went looking for the answer. It's more complicated than the press releases suggest. This week Cognizant and ServiceNow announced a partnership specifically to close what they're calling the "enforcement gap" in enterprise AI governance. The Everest Group analyst quote from the press release cuts to it: "The hard part of AI governance was never writing the policy. It's enforcing it as systems learn and act." H...

It's pretty annoying that Codex uses agents.md and Claude Code uses Claude.md. There should be some industry standards to this stuff?

I’ve been noticing a clear split lately. The big mainstream models are getting more and more restricted with heavy safety rules, while at the same time more people are switching to local or less restricted models because they actually let you explore ideas freely. It feels like we’re heading toward two different types of AI: one that’s heavily controlled and "safe", and another that’s more open and unrestricted. Both seem to be growing at the same time. Do you think this divide wil...

been building AI agents for a while and noticing a pattern: the LLM reasoning part works. the part that breaks is everything around accounts, logins, and verification. agent gets to "sign up for this service" and then: - email verification loop breaks - OTP times out while the agent is mid-step - captcha or bot detection fires - session expires between steps the model figured out what to do. the infrastructure around it didn't cooperate. curious if this matches what other...

Back in the 1980s a debate raged about whether it was okay to let children use calculators in elementary school. Critics warned that giving kids calculators would lead to the "destruction of student math skills." A similar debate is happening today across a range of areas, including coding, writing and even music. Will using AI lead a brain drain across these and many other areas? One of my favorite authors is Isaac Asimov. He's better known for his Foundation and Robot series of ...

After spending the last few weeks reading through the reasoning literature, I noticed a trend that seems worth discussing. For the past 2–3 years, a large fraction of progress in LLM reasoning came from making models generate more intermediate thoughts. Chain-of-Thought prompting (Wei et al., 2022) pushed PaLM 540B from roughly 18% to 58% on GSM8K. Self-Consistency added another 17.9 percentage points by exploring multiple reasoning paths before committing to an answer. Tree-of-Thoughts la...

Hey guys. I saw a post on Instagram saying that tripo ai is holding a rendering challenge and the theme is “Out There”. This made me think about how AI-generated 3D models might change the rendering challenges. In a traditional rendering challenge most of the work focuses on modeling, resource creation, texture processing and scene setup. However with Tripo AI the process of generating 3D resources can become much faster. This made me think if the real challenges has shifted elsewhere. if ev...

I work on a podcast and we wanna do an episode where we have a proponent and opponent of data centers talk. We're looking for a good oppponent voice. Any names or organizations that are intelligent and well spoken and worth checking out?

PM at a mid-size startup here. Didn’t really notice how bad it got until this week. My workflow now: • Claude for ideation • ChatGPT for rewriting specs • Cursor for implementation • Perplexity for research • Notion AI for docs • Atoms AI for larger tasks None of these tools actually replaced my work. They just redistributed it. I’m still the one dragging context between all of them.Yesterday I literally caught myself pasting the exact same requirement into 4 different tools and th...

We've been running AI across a team for about two years. Expected the hard parts to be the models. They weren't. The problem that cost us most early on was context. We had a system making customer-facing recommendations without access to the business-specific knowledge it needed to answer accurately. Spent too long trying to fix it at the prompt level. The context layer didn't exist, and prompting didn't fill that gap, it just made it less obvious until something downstream failed badly enoug...

We're opening up Creaibo 2.0 beta applications, and I'd genuinely love to get feedback from this community. What is Creaibo? An AI-powered creative tool for images, video, and content production. We're focused on giving creators a more coherent workflow rather than yet another single-task generator. Cora is our core AI assistant inside the product. Why post here? Because people here actually use these tools seriously and have real opinions. We've been building based on the frustration th...

I kept shipping AI apps with no idea what was happening under the hood — prompts going in, responses coming out, costs creeping up, and zero visibility into any of it. So I built LogLens. Add one line of code and it logs every single AI call your app makes — the full prompt, completion, latency, token count, and cost — all in a clean dashboard. Works with Anthropic and OpenAI out of the box. No framework lock-in. npm install loglens const anthropic = wrapAnthropic(new Anthropic(), { apiKe...

found this buried in the openai dashboard and honestly surprised more people don’t know about it it’s called the data sharing program. go to your api dashboard, hit data controls, toggle on sharing. that’s it. you get free tokens every single day. up to 2.5 million tokens daily on the lighter models like gpt-4o-mini, o3-mini, gpt-4.1-mini. for the heavier models it’s 250k tokens per day. resets daily. the trade is your prompts and outputs can be used by openai to train their models. so don...

so anthropic just dropped a blog post calling for a global pause on frontier ai development, warning that models could start recursively self-improving and spiral beyond human control. sounds scary. sounds noble. let's talk about what's actually going on here. anthropic is reportedly eyeing a $1 trillion+ ipo, and they just happen to be the ones calling for everyone to stop building. analysts are already asking whether this is really just about freezing the status quo so they can hold their ...
