Personal chats with ai (sycophants) is not actually interesting, they will indulge in whatever bias or angle you want them to, it's trivial to get them to say pretty much anything

I'm working on some of these in my own custom agent.

I'd recommend building one. It's not hard and you learn a lot in the process. More people should do this so we can explore all the ideas and design space to see what works and doesn't. It's too early to lock in on what Big Ai is trying to sell us


Hey, we're #1 on a benchmark that none of the major players use or are even entered with by 3rd parties.... looks like only 2 submissions since the paper a year ago.

No Gemini, No Claude, just old models

Does IBM wonder why no one takes them seriously in the Ai space? I would be embarrassed to have this "#1" so prominently on display


People are tired of the life stories and all the other BS around recipes. I'd be willing to bet money that the people who make recipe sites would not enjoy using their own site

Ai from any provider let's us skip that noise


I get emails like this every day, this is just HN spam


Can I click a link to reset my keys?

What happens when the key is lost, and the consequences like "lose all your money" or "lose your account access" are non-starters, as someone who owns a hardware key for my email account

Multi-sig wallets are even more complicated and not for normies


what happens if you lose your password? You click a link to reset it, and it gets sent to your email. What happens if you lose access to your email password?

It is the same problem.


My email has multiple recovery methods

It's not the same problem


Send your key to your email. Then it's less secure but I take it you wouldn't mind.

A web browser is a viewing portal to a specific page, accessed upon request

A relay is a stream of stuff you then have to filter

It's really like apples and oranges, web pages or blog sites is probably a better thing to ask about than web browsers


a specific page is also stream of stuff you then have to filter

if I bend over backwards far enough, sure, I can see how it can look like that

A relay is more like page updates across all of the internet being event streamed


https://atproto.com if you haven't checked it out yet, we need more builders before real adoption can happen

The social media post you orig linked to has none of that

While I agree with the general problem, you do yourself a disservice by using such a poor example with so many more potent ones out there. You also do a disservice to the movement to fight back by making easy examples for "look at how out of touch they are" (i.e. making mountains out of mole hills when you could point out the actual mountains)


Sure, there may be more pressing matters than the richest man in the world enthusiastically boosting Tweets that describe Western civilization as getting raped to death by the unnamed (you-know-who-I-mean) Others, but it is absolutely part of the same white nationalist zeitgeist, lexicon, and community. The rhetoric Musk uses is *identical* to what Miller and the White House, Reform, AfD, etc. are using to dehumanize immigrants and to direct racial hate and violence towards them. And it’s just one example out of hundreds.

I can’t do anything about Miller being a ghoul, but if I can help one or two people have second thoughts about using Twitter or Grok, it will be well worth it.


That seems preferable to than only having 1-2 companies run by BilliBros
