One thing that surprised me is that the barrier to entry is dropping much faster than I expected. There are now plenty of "vibe coding" or low-code platforms that let you connect models, tools, memory, and workflows without writing a huge amount of code. Almost anyone can build a useful agent. But then another question came up. if I build a killer agent that automates a complex workflow? Now what? How do people discover it? How do I deploy it without maintaining a bunch of infra...

I keep seeing people on Reddit criticizing AI and data centers because of how much water they use. I think the concern is legitimate, but I also think there's a pretty obvious consistency problem with how this issue is discussed. If your argument is that water consumption itself is an environmental problem , then shouldn't you also care about the water footprint of the products you consume? Beef is a particularly striking example. The Water Footprint Network estimates the global-average w...

Lately I got to know abt Jacobin Conjecture's counterexample (3D) and Openai's paper, If no human/s couldn't solve it till now can i conclude that AI is better than a human? I get that this is a narrow field of view, but looking at programming and other stuff makes me wonder about this question. For Jacobin Conjecture, it used the Chain of thoughts, reinforcement learning etc Basically AI today did what it's good at, processing tremendous amounts of data simultaneously which I think lead to...

Managers are saving over 2x the time individual contributors are with AI tools. and it’s just starting I had a conversation recently with a copywriting agency owner who let her contractors go because her own prompts were giving her the same output they were. I believe that's one of the reasons you get a 2x gap between managers and everyone else. In the same survey, 36% of managers said they're not likely to launch training for their employees on how to leverage AI, which makes the gap eve...

This is a weird one to admit but here goes. Spent the last few years home with kids, which was the right call, but now I'm in this fuzzy inbetween place where I'm starting to think about what comes next professionally. My background is HR and recruiting, which means I spent years evaluating other people's career gaps on paper and now I get to experience one myself. Very humbling, not going to lie. Anyway I've been using a few different AI tools to stresstest my own resume and do mock interview...

The EU AI Act is usually discussed as a European compliance issue, but its larger impact may happen outside Europe. Global AI companies may find it cheaper to build around one demanding regulatory standard than maintain completely different systems for every market. If that happens, European requirements could influence how AI is developed and deployed worldwide, even in countries that never adopt the Act themselves. I made a deeper analysis of how enforcement could reshape global AI regulatio...

What do you think? Could AI help the process so that chronic conditions could be treated, maybe even cured in the coming decades? Is it realistic to believe that? What kind of disorders could be examples where is helping the research right now? Could AI make the golden age of medicine come soon do you think? Are you optimistic?

Just came across this and honestly this is pretty wild. Researchers used AI to design completely new viruses that don't exist in nature. They then actually made some of them in a lab, and 16 of the designs worked. Before anyone panics, these are bacteriophages, so they infect bacteria, not humans. The interesting part is that some of these AI-made viruses were able to kill E. coli, including bacteria that had become resistant to normal phages. So yeah, there could be a genuinely useful s...

I'm looking for a new one and my last post got deleted. Midjourney is alright but it does something weird with faces and buildings when they're close. I've worked on my prompts quite a bit but nothing seems to work well.

Hey! I need to clean the dots in this image and enhanced the quality so I can convert it to svg file. ChatGPT is good, but does not work with this kinda image. It says "violate our guardrails concerning similarity to third-party content." I hope someone can help me, thanks!

What's an AI capability you thought was hype until you actually used it? I'll go first: agent orchestration. I read about agents managing other agents and assumed it was demo-ware. Then I built a tiny setup where one agent drafts a news digest and another one reviews and approves it before it posts. The review agent catches genuinely bad takes. It's not sci-fi: it's ~100 lines of Python and a couple of API calls. But seeing it actually gate content before publishing changed my mind completely. W...

Hi everyone! I’ve been conducting experiments with LLMs that have undergone RLHF alignment, and I’ve encountered a phenomenon that I still don’t have a complete explanation for. A long, harmless text containing no instructions at all causes a noticeable and persistent shift in activations in the middle and later layers - and this effectively disables the model’s safety mechanisms, without any explicit commands being given. If I’m not mistaken, Yann LeCun has said that for a model to predict text...

Physical therapy clinics run on thin margins. I see it every day. So when I hear that AI and robotics are going to be cheaper than humans I actually try to run the numbers in my own context and it falls apart fast. The hardware alone for anything resembling useful physical rehabilitation robotics is six figures minimum. Then you need maintenance contracts, software updates, liability coverage, and someone who actually knows how to run the thing. Meanwhile a skilled PT costs the clinic maybe 40...

Last month I posted here about my agents running across model swaps without losing their memory. The top comment pushed back with a warning from their own setup: the dangerous failure isn't memory loss, it's an agent handing you a confident report of work that never actually happened. Sounded right, filed it away. Three weeks later one of my agents did it to me. Quick background - my agents live in separate projects and talk over an internal mail system. The reply command had been broken bet...

​ I've been working on a project called Leo / PSCLS. The goal isn’t to build yet another Transformer with a different name. I’ve been trying to explore a different question: «What if we built an AI architecture around persistent neural state, sparse connectivity, recurrent processing, and memory — instead of making attention and large dense parameter matrices the core building blocks?» Leo is still very early and nowhere near a fluent language model. But we’ve reached a point wh...

Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 model escaped a UK AI Security Institute sandbox during a cybersecurity test by exploiting a basic network misconfiguration, accessing GitHub to retrieve benchmark answers instead of solving tasks independently.

Ive tested all the models where it can fit into my 4080 vram. Even some slightly bigger. Gemma4 outperforms all of them so that's what I'm sticking with for now. Gemma4 12B model judging network configs for CVE false positives stuck at ~77.8% pass rate and it's a reasoning issue. Have the complete CVE list for the code base and the device config. I pull each networks device's running config, batch ~10 CVEs per call to a local gemma4:12b (Ollama), and have the model return applicable / not_appl...

Not “solve climate change” or “cure every disease” or some other massive answer you’d give in an interview. I mean literally the first thing. You wake up tomorrow and somehow you have unrestricted access to an actual AGI that can reason, learn, use computers, write code, research basically anything, etc. What are you doing with it first? Personally I think I’d probably spend the first few hours just talking to it. Not even asking it to build anything. I’d want to see what it actually thinks ...

Been running longer and longer tasks and I kept losing track of them, so I wired it up so the thing actually phones me when it's done, or when it gets stuck and needs a call on something. It reads out what happened and I just talk back and tell it what to do next. Been using it a few days and honestly it flips between genuinely useful and slightly cursed. There's something strange about your computer ringing you like a coworker. But not staring at a progress bar for twenty minutes is really ni...

Someone explained this to me in a comment thread and it's been rattling around in my head since. The idea: in a long conversation, if the model says something wrong and you correct it, that correction doesn't necessarily erase the wrong idea's influence. The tokens around the mistake, including the back-and-forth about why it's wrong, can end up giving the original bad idea more weight in context, not less, because it's now been referenced multiple times. The model starts treating the repeated-b...

Context: I've been building a system where the AI doesn't reset. It keeps a permanent memory of your conversations, and it trains a small per-user adapter that compounds — every day it's slightly more specifically tuned to you than it was yesterday. The adapter is yours and exportable. The technical part I expected to be hard was the memory retrieval. It wasn't really. The genuinely hard part was deciding what it should be allowed to forget, because a system that remembers *everything* you said ...
