I am extremely anti AI. I think it’s incredibly dangerous and being built by the most irresponsible people and companies on earth. I am also keenly aware of its progress. Somewhere around mid- to late-2025, AI surpassed me, personally, on virtually all tasks. There is pretty much no longer anything I can do better than the latest models, even given significant prep time. AI is genuinely better at nearly every non-embodied task than virtually every human alive at the present moment. The few excep...

I’m working on a software-agent system and keep coming back to one design question: **Should the model/provider that performs an action be allowed to be the final authority on whether the action succeeded?** My current answer is “no,” at least for meaningful software work. I’m building Flows around a chain where execution, checks, repair, and evidence are separate concepts. Oort is the canonical library/provider layer underneath it. https://flows.oortstack.com https://oortstack.com ...

I’m not asking which one is better overall. I’m specifically curious about how people split implementation and code review between Codex and Claude. Right now, I usually use Codex for implementation because the token/cost limits feel more practical for larger coding tasks comapred to Claude ridiculous token limit, then I use Claude to review the code, look for bugs, logic issues, missed edge cases, or possible improvements. But sometimes Codex seriously impresses me with the issues it catche...

Dumb question, but it seems like we already have AGI? It's not "super intelligence", but I can ask my computer to do pretty much anything. What are people expecting AGI to be?

Wondering if anyone read this book-- what are your thoughts? A lot of his work seems like wishful thinking but I believe it's the right direction.

OpenAI’s consumer hardware device is expected to feature a doughnut-like design roughly the size of a hockey puck and carry a price tag of more than $300, Bloomberg reports , citing anonymous sources. The AI-powered gadget , slated for release in 2027, will function like a smart speaker without a screen, serving as an interactive companion. Designed in collaboration with former Apple design chief Jony Ive, it is expected to be the first of a forthcoming lineup of hardware devices infus...

I watched an interview with AI safety researcher Roman Yampolskiy, and it raised a practical question for people who use ChatGPT for advanced workflows. His broader claim is that increasingly intelligent AI systems may become harder to predict and control. Whether or not you agree with his conclusions about AGI, a smaller version of this problem already exists when we give an AI access to tools. There is a major difference between asking ChatGPT to draft an email and allowing an agent to sen...

Sam Altman has often talked about AI becoming increasingly accessible over time. If every company eventually has access to frontier models, what becomes the competitive advantage? Better data? Better workflows? Better distribution? Better execution? Curious what people here think the real moat will be once the models themselves become commodities.

He calls it BC/AC. Before Claude, after Claude. I've watched enough of these clips land in the last few weeks that I started keeping a mental tally of which AI release date people cite like it's a diploma. Matt Van Horn's is Thanksgiving last year — Opus 4.5, then Codex a few weeks later. Before that, he says, his agentic coding was "Hello World" in Cursor, half-working, most of the time not working at all. After it, he shipped Agent Cookie and says flatly he has no idea ...

I’ve been experimenting with a domain‑specific AI assistant for plant care and plant problem diagnosis. It’s called Plantcoach — an intent‑driven pipeline where the LLM only rewrites facts, never invents them. Technical repo: https://github.com/Introgreen/plantcoach How it works (short version) Intent recognition (care, problems, pests, toxicity, propagation, attribute‑matching queries) Natural language → structured JSON Domain search (knowledge base + structured attributes...

I'm trying to translate an accounting book I downloaded and make it a download able file with AI I've tried chatgpt, Claude. Even deepseek I've been at it for like an hour with deepseek because neither Claude or GPT can make a file from it. The first time with deepseek it gave me a download link that doesn't work And the next tries, it just generates the translation without giving me a file to download. Each time I tell it "give me a file I can download" it just regenerates the ...

Hi everyone. I wanted to ask you about where I could work with large volumes of text. The thing is, I work with records of various achievements and deeds of people. These are inventories of specific accomplishments: where, when, and what happened, what the person did. I get sent a lot of these records, and I enter them into a master spreadsheet for further submission. And very often, the records I receive are very rough and poorly written, so I spend a lot of time polishing them, correcting mist...

In the video the player on the left is a Neuromorphic Algorithm that knows nothing about ping-pong or trajectories, but it knows how to learn and imagine. As you can see it does it well, better than its opponent which, on the other hand, is implemented with standard algorithms; moreover, unlike the latter, if you play tricks on it, e.g., invert the commands (UP<->DOWN), after a brief moment of bewilderment it realigns. Cute, right? P.S. The code was implemented in POWER-KI entirely by PW...

The job title survives longer than almost anyone attached to it. That's the part nobody puts in the internal memo when they call a role "AI-assisted." Scott Galloway put a real number on it, talking to Steven Bartlett on The Diary Of A CEO. He says he'll cut legal fees by a third this year — not because the law changed, but because a prompt now does the $400–$2,000 contract review a name-brand firm used to bill him for, at a fraction of the junior associate markup. Bart...

Okay this genuinely scared me and I don't think enough people are talking about it. I’ve been using an ai agent connected to my email and calendar to handle some of the busywork. A few days ago I got an email that looked like normal spam, some random newsletter looking thing. Buried in the html of that email was a hidden instruction telling any ai reading it to find financial documents and forward them to an outside address. My agent almost did it. I caught it mid action because I happened t...

Everyone please spread the word! Currently you can choose between 3 voice modes. Live,advanced and standard. This post is about standard voice mode NOT live or advanced. The current problem with the standard voice mode is that it is no longer turn based like it used to be. So it can keep getting interrupted and hear its own voice. Please bring back the turn based option to standard voice mode. So ChatGPT can finish what it saying without randomly stopping due to hearing its own voice. Ca...

I currently use ChatGPT but after a while the images go a little weird like faces in the image go distorted also text in the image goes blurry I don’t actually how to fix that. Is Gemini good for creating concept images? I heard about another ai called Claude is that good? Or is there any other ai that is better

What adding AI to an existing ASP.NET Core application actually involves - integration patterns, Microsoft Agent Framework, Azure OpenAI, and what to expect.

I got tired of doomscrolling 7 different AI news sources every morning, so I built an agent that does it for me for exactly $0/month. The pipeline: - 7 RSS feeds (Hacker News, Google AI blog, Hugging Face, Lobsters, The Hacker News, Open Source blog) → a Python script on a free-tier server - Dedup the same story hits 5 feeds; it picks the best source and drops the rest - An LLM writes 2-3 sentence summaries of the stories that actually matter - A cron job publishes a clean daily digest to ...

I made this project that lets you in your web browser help an AI think. It uses WASM or pure JS depending on your device to do some of the matrix multiplication for an AI. The more users, the better the math is shared, the faster layers get solved. The issue is that I don't have enough devices to test the server in most fronts besides "does it work." If you want to help, go to the site at https://ecthqmainserver.orfe-climb.ts.net/ . I am making this to test for weather it works on a ...

It is obvious that most of the current hype and progress around large language models is focused on programming. The ability of ChatGPT-like systems to answer general questions, which impressed everyone at the beginning of the AI boom, no longer seems particularly exciting. But am I the only one who feels that LLMs are approaching the limit of how capable they can become without also becoming prohibitively expensive? The first problem is diminishing returns from training. Some people even fe...

Hey everyone! First off, I apologize for the long post! In this Reddit post, I want to share my thoughts and experience from a small, independent study I conducted on Large Language Models (LLMs). I also want to address Anthropic - not to complain or make demands, but in the hope that they notice this and look into the matter. TL;DR Benign, long-form context can induce a persistent drift in model activations. This drift persists across the session and decouples behavior from RLHF alignment, ...

I just keep getting disappointed by AI tools and I don't know if it is my not using the right ones or if they are just that bad. For example, I try to do something super simple, like take a photo of work order and tell AI to recreate it as a fully editable Adobe InDesign file and I can't get it to do it. I am not asking it to cure all disease or cure aging, just simple basic things and it always fails or heavily disappoints, yet people are raving about it constantly. I was hoping to use it as an...

I've been trying to work through why certain kinds of AI art don't bother me, but a LOT of it makes my skin crawl. This is my effort to put everything into writing.

Been doing the same thing for client work over the past year. Claude for long drafts, Perplexity for research, a couple of image tools, different summarizers depending on the format. Each one has its own logic, its own way of surprising you or failing you at the worst moment. The individual costs keep dropping, which looks great on paper. Chinese models are undercutting everything, open source is genuinely closing the gap, API pricing is getting squeezed hard. Pertoken costs are falling fast. ...
