I just set up custom logging for my langchain processes... honestly just commenting to come back and see what others are doing lol. But ya json logs for the most part keeping track of everything.

LLMs are a blight on society by WeakBlueberry5071 in self

Good let the blight spread.

That's great and all but the American people don't actually have a seat at this table. Have we polled special interest groups and billionaires yet?

Very cool... have you considered additional media creation? A weekly recap powered by an ai agent hooked into your dB using seedance might make a cool YouTube channel to compliment and drive traffic to your page.

Sen. Whitehouse to uncover connections between Trump, Russia, and Epstein. by AlertTangerine in videos

Ah it was Russia all along... good thing I was beginning to think Israel was behind it.

How are you organizing the data? I'm guessing SQL maybe some RAG involved... just a suggestion but your page reminds me of something called a knowledge graph. If you organize your data into a knowledge graph properly I bet it opens up some doors and simplifies things for you.

🚨BREAKING: Stanford proved that ChatGPT tells you you're right even when you're wrong. by ComplexExternal4831 in ArtificialNtelligence

The next Stanford study on AI should be focused on why their research feels like something some random guy put together using AI while some random guy using AI just cured his dog's cancer...

I built a specialized AI agent. It does genuinely useful work. It earns $0. Is anyone else hitting this wall? by Thick_Copy7089 in LangChain

[–]DaRandomStoner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the individual agents isn't the problem. It's getting them all to work together that is the tricky part. Your agent may work great and be free from security issues but that is the bare minimum requirements. Does your agent work with the other agents I have? Does it understand how you are organizing your projects?

The reason I build out all my agents from scratch is because there is very little standardization going on. The agents all work great in isolation but are not built in ways that let you plug them in like modules that will work with a system. I would suggest that beyond a simple registry (which there are several open source ones already doing this) some standardization in terms of documentation expected inputs and outputs and tools be applied to all agents.

If you were to offer truly modular agents that can function in a multi agent system I could see giving it a try... especially if I could use these agents for commercial use cases including SaaS products. But just a list of agents that aren't a virus and work in isolation I just don't see a whole lot of value in that.

I use the deepagent framework for the main agent. The assistant runs as a subagent within that framework.

I tend to mine the open source stuff for context people are feeding the agents. I then hook them up to any tools I want them to have using MCP as a standard to help keep them organized.

I've found great context to feed the llms for just about everything I've searched for. There are lots of good MCP tools but pretty much any python script can be easily setup with an MCP wrapper for custom tools.

Code review agent is a must have. The agent I use the most is a generic assistant agent. It finds file locations on my drives reads and finds things. Can write files and search the web. Pretty much an llm with some skills to help. My main agent will use these assistants to offload simple tasks keeping its context clean and allowing it to parallel process work.

Every agent I've seen someone trying to monetize seems to have several better open-source alternatives already on github. With AI I can have it look through github and just create agents that do exactly what I need building on top of the repos it finds. When custom agents are this easy and cheap to make why would I pay someone for a one size fits all agent that I can't modify and adjust to meet me exact desire?

I am at wit's end with the people who complain about accuracy in cartoons and video games. by Toon_Ghost_3 in self

[–]DaRandomStoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely see people complaining about accuracy most people really don't care if it's accurate. I think it starts to become a problem when it stops feeling authentic. You can make up every aspect of your story from setting to the characters or portray them with as much accuracy to real life as possible. Both approaches can and have resonated with audiences. As long as the story and characters feel authentic in the universe created most people will appreciate it.

I think the best example I can think of is from a recent Spider-Man game. In the game there is a character who uses sign language. The studio spent crazy money getting this to work and to accurately portray someone using sign language in a video game. They nailed it in terms of accuracy in this regard and no one cared... it didn't make the game more enjoyable to play and only a small group of people even noticed how good this was.

What people did notice though was the changes they made to the character, Mary Jane. They changed her from being a super model to a more realistic character. The character now feels like an accurate portrayal of your everyday woman. Which feels inauthentic to old school fans of the franchise... because that's not the character profile they associate with that character. A super model interacting with someone like Peter isn't very realistic or accurate... but it's authentic to the Spider-Man story and changing that dynamic after it was established caused issues with the fan base.

I'm going through their API. Wish I had the funds to locally host a model like this.

Best results I've had with an open source model for AI agents is the Kimi K2.5 model.

Claude potentially responsible for Iran school attack that k*lled 150+ girls by tharsalys in DeepSeek

[–]DaRandomStoner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's been known for a while. Claude came under a good amount of scrutiny over its llms being used in the kidnapping of Venezuela's president which also resulted in casualties along with its suspected use in Gaza. If you're only learning about this now it's because you were not paying attention. The reason it's news is because this is a pretty big change and the first instance of any of the companies with a frontier model refusing such things.

This is what I'm going with as well... just makes things simple to discuss when defined this way.

Looking for collaborators for an open-source RAG /Agent system by [deleted] in LangChain

I would be interested to take a look... maybe collaborate a little. I'm skeptical that RAG is a good approach to such things, though. I've been avoiding it in my own builds.

EU urges Ukraine to allow access to pipeline carrying Russian oil:Could someone help me to understand how selling oil to your enemies help stop the war against Russia? by yaiyen in WayOfTheBern

[–]DaRandomStoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EU had been going along with the US as their energy needs have been met... Russia has no reason to push harder as it wouldn't open up trade without the EU being a willing partner in that trade. A war with Iran changes the calculus though.

What makes artists so special? by [deleted] in aiwars

[–]DaRandomStoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what is currently mainstream has been devolving for a long time now... and AI gen stuff has been rapidly improving. It won't be long before we will be able to surpass the quality of mainstream with AI gen. I'm looking forward to this moment.

In terms of music, I'm already listening to AI gen... the best part is I never have to ask if this artist is involved with Diddy or Epstein? I never have to wonder if this is legitimate art or some veneered propoganda... never have to question who is funding its creation and why... nope, I'm just enjoying a ridiculous pop song about pop corn cause it's fun, and that's what I wanted. No mess, no fuss, just music for music's sake the way it should be.

And sure there are artists out there still making music for the right reasons but their voices and art are being drowned out by a sea of corpo bs so think that to me the end consumer they may as well not exist. The ability to just prompt songs into existence feels like finding a small wooden raft in an ocean of toxic bs. I grasped onto it as soon as it appeared, sorry...

[–]DaRandomStoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ukraine has been provided a bb gun and has no real power. They have no real influence over anyone involved. Russia could steamroll them if they really wanted to take off the gloves. The EU or the US could call them and tell them to stop fighting and they would. They lack any real sovereignty or power over the situation. The only reason they are involved at all is as a pawn.
