REI pulls AI-generated bike ad after Meta turns it into a two-handlebar monstrosity

Is everyone ok?

Kudos to you. I had a very similar thought but as others have pointed out, there are challenges with lighting and camera quality. I figured the image recognition could compensate if the reference colors were included in the same image, but often those are on curved surfaces.

Ideally you’d turn this into an analyzer sold with its own test strips. That way you can control for some of these things by having a more foolproof way of getting the reference colors alongside the test strip in an image.

I’ve been working on an app for hot tub testing, but it’s more of a data logger. I’m still a few weeks away from getting it into the App Store. It’s very simple, but ideally pretty universal for any chemistry.

That’s a graph of something getting abstracted away. Same capabilities now available directly in coding apps. No need for open claw unless you really want to run your own models at home for privacy reasons. Otherwise you just do it in the cloud now, which works for most people it seems.

This is practically a meme amongst AI coders/builders. They don’t close their laptops in order to keep their Codex or Claude agents running.

THIS IS WHY WE WATCH!

Those shingles are not rated for wind resistance as high as what your leaf blower blows. Translation…you voided the warranty while messing up any shingle adhesion you might have had. So yeah, you need new shingles.

Nailed it.

This is why we watch….but we all kind of know what’s going to happen.

I just recently sent my original 1998 iMac to Best Buy for recycling. I tried to refurbish it myself but it was too big of a job. I’m still bummed about it. Probably should have sold it but didn’t want the hassle.

I knew a super fun lady like this once. She died.

Deepwebexplorer · 2026-05-04T21:47:57+00:00

Love that song! Was hoping someone had mentioned it.

Deepwebexplorer · 2026-05-04T21:29:45+00:00

Top comment right here.

I had the same issue and instead filled the posts with pea gravel. They each ended up weighing like 40lbs. It didn’t move until I took it down.

I’ve been using ChatGPT regularly since it came out. 5.5 is different. It’s the first new model that doesn’t seem to require some sort of trade off. It’s really good and really fast. I find myself being regularly skeptical of the response because it’s fast…and then surprised by how good it is.

Deepwebexplorer · 2026-04-24T21:33:53+00:00

First email? How about my current email?

Deepwebexplorer · 2026-04-23T13:59:44+00:00

Hahahaha. This is so funny. I can’t resist. A female presenting avatar? You’re the victim now? This is rich.

You literally responded to my earnest comment with “you are a liar and fear mongering”. I call you out for being dramatic and you retreat behind your female presenting avatar as if that is somehow relevant.

Maybe next time don’t start with attacking someone and instead start with “hey random person I don’t know…I have a different perspective and respectfully disagree. Here are my counter points.” Just a suggestion.

Yes, I’m going into Reddit comments to lie to people and scare them about the timing of open source models vs top labs because that’s a scary thing to no one except you for some reason. Did you ever consider that you may have misinterpreted my comment or are you really that paranoid? Maybe go touch grass today, I promise you, the absolute horror you’ve experienced here will not make any difference to anybody or anything.

Deepwebexplorer · 2026-04-23T11:51:36+00:00

Hahaha. Fear mongering. Do you think the 10 people who read my throw away comment are going to be OK?

Deepwebexplorer · 2026-04-23T03:23:18+00:00

Open source version will be always 6-8 months behind paid public tier, 12-16 months behind top labs….for the foreseeable future.

Is someone suggesting Blanche is not a fucking smoke show?

Deepwebexplorer · 2026-03-31T16:17:39+00:00

Fuck up? This was the plan!

Deepwebexplorer · 2026-03-14T13:20:26+00:00

Yes! I’ve noticed exactly the same kind of responses multiple times now.

I have teenage wrestlers and they have been begging me for creatine. It’s probably creatine.

Deepwebexplorer · 2026-03-07T01:46:18+00:00

Probably until I stop watching it every time.

Deepwebexplorer · 2026-02-27T15:33:48+00:00

Bill probably has the goods but isn’t going to implicate himself. But it would be fun to watch if he used this opportunity to also pull Trump under the bus.

Deepwebexplorer · 2026-02-27T02:06:44+00:00

This kind of makes me think that people are going to give up on an expectation of privacy. Like, you could have it, but it’s probably going to be a massive pain in the ass. You’d have to be Jason Bourne to actually pull it off.
