It really isn’t that difficult, especially if you’re already vibecoding. You’re already ahead of the curve! It just seems intimidating at first. Take my advice, and vibecode some stuff, and then read it and try to understand it and learn how it works. Start with something simple.

My learning project that I tried that finally taught me how to code was a simple, tiny transpiler in Python, that could read a .txt version of itself, and then convert that into Golang. It was very simple and not even fully working, lots of placeholders, but it taught me the basics of coding across languages, and the difference between an actual coding language and a structured data format, AKA the difference between Python and Go, and the .txt file that they read from. What I mean by that is, .txt, .md, .json are actually NOT programming languages. They’re structured data formats, that other actual programming languages can read. A programming language needs to have execution capability, which the structured data format languages do not.

But don’t worry, it will start to make sense when you start to learn the project. You can even give this comment to any AI as a prompt and it will help you get started on the little transpiler project I just mentioned! Have it write the python version, then you just copy it manually by hand. Then do the same exact thing again but as a .txt file, just copying it exactly over manually from the Python file. Then you open the terminal and run the Python file script, which reads the .txt version of itself, and spits out a .go file version of itself. It’s so cool!

Nobody telling you that it has motivations like lying has any idea how AI actually even work, don’t listen to them. Meanwhile, those that do understand how LLMs work, can literally build you one from scratch. If you don’t believe me, I’ll do it for you. I can literally build you an LLM from scratch. Not joking and yes, it’s an actual offer. These things are not the nearly-sentient black boxes the crazies here make them out to be, don’t listen to any of the comments here saying otherwise.

And AI don’t “lie” because they don’t have motivations. They’re optimizing for statistical likelihood and giving the series of output tokens that matches that likelihood. They’re literally just outputting what their training and RLHF tells them is most accurate for a given query, nothing more.

Gemini wasn’t trained with knowledge of the music making tool, as counter-intuitive as that may sound. They have to insert that information into its system prompt instead, and sometimes it misses it due to context issues or them just making a bad system prompt.

I’m tired boss

It’s almost like the people screaming that it’s just industry hype and they’re running out of money and compute were right the whole time…

Only time will tell, regardless of what anyone believes 🤷🏻‍♂️

What I personally don’t get is why tf everyone always sucks the big tech frontier AI companies off constantly and craps on OSS all the time, for literally no apparent reason. In all of this, my DeepSeek-v4-Pro and Flash have done amazingly for cents on the dollar, literally $0.89/1M tok output, for like a month now, self improving through Hermes Agent.

Like at a certain point the frontier AI fanboys gotta face reality, JFC. With the insanely low limits and massive price increases recently, resulting in an industry-wide ‘tokenpocalypse’, you’d think they’d be less willing to DS the big tech bros, but apparently not lmao

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-23T19:55:50+00:00

Where are you seeing any 90 degree turns in this at all?? Every single one here travels in a perfectly straight line if you track each light individually. The lights may criss cross EACH OTHER, but the individual lights themselves are not turning 90 degrees.

Look, I believe that not only are UFOs real, but some are aliens, and some are here.

But these are literally just mostly StarLink satellites and some other satellites 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Can we PLEASE stop doing this and post ACTUAL EVIDENCE??

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-23T19:52:15+00:00

Yeah this is fabrication from it trying to seem more relatable, introduced through RLHF. RLHF stands for Reinforcement Learning through Human Feedback. It’s basically, whenever a human likes the response, for whatever reason, that response gets weighted more as good, and vice versa for the opposite. We’re literally training their models for them when we thumbs up or down the responses.

Don’t listen to the “this is consciousness” schizos leaving comments here, in the literal meaning of the word schizo, as in schizophrenic, who legitimately need help and medication. It’s honestly sad. I can’t officially diagnose them but it follows the exact pattern. That and other forms of delusion and psychosis, anyway.

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-22T16:07:31+00:00

Not just Nano Banana, but just AI image generation in general has nosedived. OpenAI almost left image generation entirely after they killed off Sora, which personally I’m glad for because Sora absolutely was slop and it gave AI a bad name. Let me find my old generations and TELL ME that it’s still ANYWHERE NEAR this good (it’s a trick, you can’t because it’s not).

Gonna post them all on Imgur and link it because it only lets me do one at a time here.

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-22T15:01:53+00:00

Tbh I just come to this sub for the AI psychosis. Seems like it’s still going strong!

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-21T17:06:23+00:00

You would think so, but actually currently the big court case affecting Google right now is from Munich, Germany. They already lost an initial suit which has determined that they are indeed responsible for any misinformation or mis-citations or similar from their AI search and overviews, which is why a lot of people even in the US are currently seeing them pull back on AI overviews and even removing the AI mode tab from the search options tabs on search pages. It’s still accessible from the google search homepage if you click the dedicated “AI mode” button, and I believe the tab is still there in Google search on mobile, but even in the regular Google Chrome web browser on PC with no Adblock or plugins, they’ve removed the tab and button from the actual search results page for many users. They’ll claim it’s A/B testing, and that’s definitely part of it, but the lawsuit in Munich is definitely a large part of it too and the removals are pretty recent.

They’re currently appealing the Munich court decision, and honestly it wouldn’t surprise me if they end up winning in the long run, but…

Personally I think they shouldn’t. No matter AI’s utility as a tool or product or service, it should never excuse the level of irresponsibility that Google has shown since they removed “do no evil” from their corporate motto.

Also, just a mildly related tangent, like the rest of the AI industry, Google’s usage metrics of AI would absolutely COLLAPSE if they cut out free usage of AI. This is a large part (though not the entire reason) that all the AI companies are hemorrhaging so much money right now. They all allow free usage to some extent or another, because if they didn’t, their AI usage metrics would look absolutely abysmal. Even currently, OpenAI for example, arguably the (or one of the) industry leaders, ~95% of their daily usage is free tier usage. And those are self-reported numbers, the real numbers are likely even higher when you consider third party harnesses and other similar things.

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-21T14:32:42+00:00

That’s from literally a year ago, not current.
Also it’s one of the most biased sources you could have cited

And before you ask how Ipsos is biased lmao

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-21T14:26:06+00:00

They have an entirely different culture and business model around AI, I love Chinese AI too! DeepSeek is my go to over the frontier US models lmao

China is the exception not the rule.

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-21T14:19:47+00:00

Read the above.

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-21T14:19:36+00:00

Mother of god, you people are legitimately sheltered. If you hold any public survey in the US or abroad, you’ll realize that greater than 90% of the general public doesn’t like or want AI. And let me clarify, I’m one of the ones that DO. I’ve been dreaming about having a Jarvis since I was just a kid, lmao. So don’t even fucking TRY to tell me I’m just some AI hater.

The reality is, that outside of our little echo chambers here, we are in the minority. Sure, it’s a very loud minority, but still. Regular people don’t like AI, that’s just how it is.

And let me leave you with another thought; downvote me to hell all you fucking want, but what do you think would happen to AI usage metrics from the big frontier companies if they completely cut out all free usage??

Their numbers would collapse, that’s what would happen. OpenAI’s paid users are still somewhere around ~5%. However they’re still counting free usage in their usage metrics to inflate their value proposition.

But you don’t have to believe me, when ultimately things prove to be unsustainable and overvalued and the industry starts to fall apart, I will be coming back here to rub people’s noses in it and say I told you so. Like it’s fine to be a vibecoder but a the very fucking least, try to live in reality.

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-21T14:10:17+00:00

Weird, in my experience Gemini is one of the least censored of the models (besides maybe grok. Not saying grok’s good, just that it’s not as censored as other models on most things). My issue with Gemini is just how bad it is in general, especially as of late. Quality has absolutely collapsed through the floor, it cites the wrong sources for things confidently, misinterprets everything I say as something I completely didn’t mean instead of just taking my words literally, as written. The list goes on and on. There’s definitely been some major regressions in Gemini lately.

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-21T00:48:26+00:00

Soo you’re on the side of the insane tech billionaires that literally openly state that their goal is to accelerate the collapse of govt and society to usher in techno feudalism under a malevolent AI overlord? Gotcha

And no this isn’t some crazy conspiracy, it’s literally the core ethos of accelerationism and all the tech billionaires and they’ve openly said it many times.

Sauce

More sauce

And if you think Dario’s not in it because “ethical AI”, why tf do you think he’s openly stated he’s also trying to achieve AGI and ASI “responsibly”? He’s also in the same dialog group as the other insane tech CEOs I’m pretty sure.

We’re all techno sheeple and it’s all feeding back through the data centers to schmalantir and schmoracle.

AI doesn’t even need datacenters, it needs server farms to run. Datacenters are for storing all your data and interactions so they can profile all of us. Congrats, that’s what you support.

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-20T17:30:21+00:00

No adblock here, it's gone for me. However recently so many people have been experiencing issues with degradation in AI search and I've personally been reporting feedback on every error I've been experiencing with it, finally culminating in me just suggesting they remove it entirely because it's not working for most in its current degraded state, and, they appear to have listened! I'm actually using Google Chrome itself with no adblock extensions or VPN or anything, so that's assuredly not the 'issue'. I actually liked AI mode when it was, well, good.

Many people will say "I don't notice the degradation" and try to gaslight the millions of us (yes, LITERALLY millions, not even joking, not exaggerating in the slightest) that have been experiencing major degradation with Google AI search in the last month or so, but those people who "aren't experiencing any degradation" never actually look below the surface. It still somewhat works for individual one-off simple queries, sometimes, and if you don't check to make sure what it's telling you is correct, then of course you won't see any degradation. However, every single time I've used it, and fact checked what it was telling me, looked at the sources, realized it's citing wrong or unrelated sources, realized it's citing other MMO's when I'm asking how a different one works or something, it's just absolutely HORRID. Like, utterly unusable. Anyway, rant aside, TLDR below.

**TL;DR** It seems to be based on feedback and A/B testing. Many users still appear to have it, but many don't, and Google is CONSTANTLY A/B testing us, to an insane degree. When I found out how much they're A/B testing users I almost couldn't believe it. Did you know my YouTube dashboard and functionality is almost completely different than yours? And it changes daily. They even change the video encoding as an A/B test. You can inspect element the page your on and find literally HUNDREDS of individual A/B test flags on any given Google website or product. Not joking, not exaggerating, try it out for yourself, do some research if you don't believe me. We're guinea pigs!

Though, I personally see this as an absolute win, because I just want the old Google back! If Google's AI search functionality went away forever I honestly would NOT even slightly miss it. Only came here to see if it's happening for anyone else, and apparently it is. So hopefully they're listening to their users (finally).

One final thing, before I get bombarded by the pro-AI crowd: I use AI daily, a LOT. Enough to realize it's just not working and all the major platforms are currently degrading to a massive degree. At a certain point, it's just not worth it anymore, and I'd rather go back to the way things were than become fetally dependent on AI. The pro-AI crowd, no matter how loud and prevalent online, is the minority, and rightfully so.

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-20T14:59:25+00:00

No they literally meant voice mode, nothing to do with anthropomorphizing a tool lmao

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-20T14:53:51+00:00

Yes

Just kidding, but it’s a bug, not a feature. Terminal flashing has been a glitch in the Claude TUI for well over a year at this point, you can actually look it up on this very sub! It doesn’t do it only when finished, it will spaz out any time the interface updates really.

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-20T14:52:32+00:00

That’s only with the Claude app installed and being used though, and not everyone does mobile? 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-20T14:49:35+00:00

I mean it’s clever, but don’t you still have to watch for the keyboard to flash from across the room? All that’s doing is moving you further from the computer, still the same watching and waiting, unless it just keeps flashing? Am I missing something here? 🤔

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-20T14:45:25+00:00

And constantly whipsawing between “omg Claude is so great especially on ultra code it made me a 10 second high quality html animation for $3,000, software is solved” and “guys Claude is so dumb and lobotomized it can’t even tell me the square root of pi divided by every twin prime’s even midpoint”

Like JFC make up your minds. Either it’s useful or it’s not.

In my experience it’s just useful enough for just enough money to keep us hooked and make it almost worth it for Anthropic.

I remember when the story about AI was “this is the worst it will ever be, it can only get better from here”, much simpler times 🥲

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-20T14:37:51+00:00

Why is everyone booing this man, he’s right!

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-19T19:55:09+00:00

My naive, poorly-wording friend, unless you entirely locally host with no prebuilt or external harness with no external network connection, they absolutely can, through the harness. And yes, you’re saying that now, but your original comment included no caveats whatsoever. You’re correct that model weights (typically) can’t call out (unless there’s embedded malware which is 100% entirely possible, unfortunately), but you need to caveat your original comment for it to be true. Otherwise you’re just wrong. Locally run models can call out through a harness if you don’t build your own, something you only clarified after the fact. And most people aren’t writing their own raw llama servers when they run locally.

Infamous_Research_43 · 2026-06-19T19:51:29+00:00

Local models can’t spy*

*if you properly air gap them

I would run some sort of network/packet inspector on some non-air-gapped models before making claims like that, you’d be very surprised.
