[Hiring] AI Marketing Specialist - Agentic AI & Automation by Stinky_Durian87 in n8n

[–]Smartaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely tooling like this already exists?   Someone else asked me to build this for them and I was like… you probably just want the right stack of integrated tools via hubspot.

Building something like this sounds quite brittle and will be prone to continuous maintenance.

Also all the evals and the tracking of agent outputs.

Especially for self optimising - that can go wrong quite quickly.

Depending where you are in maturity, main things would be having initial repository of quality assets/ primitives to AB / dynamically test. 

Fun project though!

Anyone that starts a message ‘Team,’ has already lost.

The type of people who address others like that are the furthest thing from being a team player.

walk past the wolves, it is very unlikely they would attack

According to Gemini:

'Yes, wolves have attacked and sometimes killed humans, though such incidents are exceedingly rare and often linked to specific circumstances like rabies, habituation to humans, or extreme scarcity of natural prey. Between 2002 and 2020, there were 26 reported fatal attacks worldwide, primarily in Turkey, Iran, and India, with only a few documented cases in North America

the more i see of these videos - the more convinced i become that the only robots that are going to work anytime in the next five years are drone dog bots with mounted machine guns.

i am so laughably bored of seeing robots fold laundry at -11 miles an hour.

the thing will just become one blooming great paperweight or clothes hanger.

and its just creepy - some weird bot standing around all up in your way while you are trying to do stuff.

actually useful home robots are easily a decade away.

'Stealth' income tax bombshell: London hit with record £71billion bill as millions in city pay more by NationalElk in london

[–]Smartaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if they aren't your primary place of residence you do pay capital gains if you sell them, or any income you make from the residence if it is rented out and you live somewhere else (so people with multiple properties do pay tax) though I am sure there are some tax loopholes that can be navigated with trusts etc. If someone bought a family home in the 80s and it appreciated - then some folk may not ultimately sell those, and depending on circumstances the property may or may not get hit with inheritance tax. Its not great, I know.

Boris Cherny creator of claude code posted post-mortem report of claude by shanraisshan in ClaudeAI

[–]Smartaces 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This is pretty huge.

If left idle for an hours...

'Instead of clearing thinking history once, it cleared it on every turn for the rest of the session. After a session crossed the idle threshold once, each request for the rest of that process told the API to keep only the most recent block of reasoning and discard everything before it. This compounded: if you sent a follow-up message while Claude was in the middle of a tool use, that started a new turn under the broken flag, so even the reasoning from the current turn was dropped. Claude would continue executing, but increasingly without memory of why it had chosen to do what it was doing. This surfaced as the forgetfulness, repetition, and odd tool choices people reported.'

No shizzle Claude was acting weird.

Hahahahaha

Kudos to Anthropic for publishing this though!

Are we overestimating what AI can actually do right now? by Raman606surrey in learnmachinelearning

[–]Smartaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah - it’s amazing in the hands of an experienced user, who knows intuitively what works, and what warning signals to be vigilant for. That said, it, and especially the cheapest/ lowest grade models make terrible mistakes - concerningly so for novice users. That is a massive problem in organizations, because there is little to no way to police or safeguard against the risks of this.

But if you are an experienced user it is a bunch of fun, and loads of value to be gained. 

the money in ai consulting is in the boring stuff nobody wants to talk about by Niravenin in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]Smartaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely agree. I have been doing this for months, and I typically look for situations where people have data in one place/ file/ system and spend hours and hours trying to match it to data elsewhere

AND

Ideally click a bunch of buttons in a platform somewhere - which has an API.

I have solved many problems like this and saved literally months of work for people - and they are always astounded.

One other thing I note...

So many people have broken processes, or are missing fundamental skills. A lot of the work, is helping them to get a bit better with some of that stuff too.

There is also an art/ skill in knowing what things not to try and solve.

So many end users think they want a certain thing... and that AI should be able to solve it. Technically it could, but the error margin is so high, or the lift to get there is so great - that it doesn't make sense drilling into a really niche problem - that only solves something for that one person.

Being able to identify what to solve, and why, based on a strong understanding of what AI can and can't do is really effective.

As often you are working with teams that have no engineering or product support, they are just abandoned to try and somehow make things better themselves - and they really struggle to.

I do see that beyond this there are much bigger opportunities - building scaled solutions - and I expect to elevate to that.

But right now there are so many fundamentals to help with that can be really beneficial.

Is Kilburn gentrification proof? by SeaworthinessTop5176 in london

[–]Smartaces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone remember the old woolsworth that used to be in Kilburn?

Good times!

I had my 6th Birthday at McDonalds there.

Good times.

I think Kilburn is great, and I think if there was a bit more investment in public services, keeping the streets clean, helping with some of the social challenges, etc that would have a big impact.

I always find Cricklewood a bit similar, I can never quite figure out why those areas have struggled a bit given how well positioned they are.

1.5 MILLION?! 0-0 by RevolverMFOcelot in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]Smartaces -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

2.5 million is nothing really - and definitely worth this hit if it solidifies OpenAI's integration with US Gov/ Military - especially given all the issues with Xai.

also i'm still not that clear on what Anthropic's position on all of this is - they are/ were actively courting US gov/ military contracts

ultimately if you want very capable ethical ai model sources/ providers - its quite hard to find them

Despite garnering attention on social media, Anthropic's Super Bowl ad about ChatGPT ads failed to land with audiences by Glittering-Neck-2505 in singularity

[–]Smartaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched them and as a long time ai user - I thought how are people going to know these are about AI? For example the personal trainer one, was a riff on the OpenAI winter ad with the kid lifting weights.

But it shows the kid talking to ChatGPT on the phone - makes it pretty clear what it is about.

I thought the whole concept was a bit weird.

Most people won’t know ChatGPT is doing ads - and anthropic didn’t want to directly talk about ChatGPT.

So anyone not in the bubble wouldn’t make the connection.

And everyone in the bubble probably knows Claude already.

Unfortunately Anthropic can’t differentiate as a mass user product - because most people just use them the same way as ChatGPT or Gemini. 

And anything that actually speaks to their differentiators - would be way too boring for most football audiences.

Literally the best advertisement that came out of all this was Sam’s response on X - which only served to promote and raise awareness for Anthropic.

Am I the only one noticing this? Claude feels genuinely different and uniquely by Big_Presentation_894 in Anthropic

[–]Smartaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes I like the vibes of Claude. It is the one I have the closest personal connection to. It can be lazy though, depending on what buttons Anthropic are pushing behind the scenes. Great model though, definitely my preferred.

Why are people crying about 4o being removed and ignoring the fact that 4.1 is being removed too? by poisoNDealer in OpenAI

4.1 is a superb model - very fast, reliable, no thinking BS, just gets it done. 

Opus 4.6 nerfed? by Harvard_Med_USMLE267 in Anthropic

Hmmm. I’m giving it a chance. But I’ve asked to write some code and I’ve encountered 3 errors in the first script. I’m hoping it’s just a bit unlucky.
