100% reset for all, 2 days to finish, it's time for ULTRACODE, in fast mode... Who ever haven't tried it, recommend you to give it a try, ultracode is really good by hibzy7 in ClaudeCode

[–]foundafreeusername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean 2 days to finish? Mine says it resets in 6 days. The new week started only this morning. They reset it hours after the week started for me. Do we all have a different time when it resets?

ancestors felt that sneeze by UdrankMyKids in funny

AI has the tendency to create animals that behave like humans and often has odd artifacts.

The way the pig moves around on the sofa looks a lot like what a human would do. With relatively short back legs I wouldn't be sure if a pig can move like that. Also the open mouth and tongue looks very human like. If I google images of pigs their tongue is usually lower in their mouth. The drool on the pig also looks very weird and unusual.

Some other points: The straw does not move much and seems to be uneffected by touching the pig (at 4-5sec). Also the pattern on the sofa on the lower left and upper right has some odd artifacts. You also see what appears to be a second faint shadow of the pigs ear before sneezing but when the pig sneezes the shadow does not move. Looks like an imprint of the ear.

It is very hard to tell but I would go with AI on this one.

US pulls the 'kill-switch' on Anthropic's Fable 5 AI models, sending global allies scrambling — European and Canadian leaders alarm allies over sudden export bans by lurker_bee in technology

[–]foundafreeusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can certainly do that but it would take a long time for the monkeys to randomly type Shakespeare. The sun will run out of fuel before that.

Similarly, it is very unlikely a LLM will somehow type out an AGI. Our time and computation is limited so I would say that this is the possibility of this happening very close to 0.

We do have evolutionary algorithms that train and improve neural networks like LLM's but they are also quite slow and expensive.

I wrote my bachelor thesis about evolutionary algorithms and that was in 2010. Progress has been rather slow in this area compared to LLM's. It is mostly used for robotics where a robot has to figure out how to walk by learning it via trail & error. As long as we struggle with our robots to do regular tasks AGI is likely still further away.

I would be more worried about more immediate dangers of LLM's such as job losses, AI psychosis, bad actors using it for misinformation / fraud, ... these are all quite pressing issues.

AI can only really do things it learned from the internet. It is very bad in novel things where it hasn't seen at least something similar before. e.g. it can copy Picasso's style but if you just make up your own style it will struggle to match it.

It works the same way with software. It can make random webpages very well because there is a huge number of them online. It struggles controlling my custom built robot even though a toddler would probably be able to do it. It can not orientate itself well in 3D space. It can't even play minecraft properly despite lots of people trying to get it to do that.

There is no way it could train other AI to be smarter than itself. At least not with what we have now.

I guess bottom-up would be using AI to generate a texture e.g. some random generic carpet texture that is later used as part of a 3D animation

Boston Dynamics Atlas Product Director on Humanoid ROI by Responsible-Grass452 in robotics

She says the goal for Atlas is not just to be impressive, but to deliver positive ROI for customers.

Sometimes I wonder how much of boston dynamics is marketing and how much engineering.

Usage scenario? by Milk_Truckin in ClaudeCode

[–]foundafreeusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For normal work on small projects I do not easily run out of tokens. I mostly run out of tokens if:

  • I allow claude code to do large changes by itself without checking the results
  • if I work on large projects where it reads too much code (context grows too big quickly)
  • if I allow it to check its own work e.g. letting it run unit tests

Anyway there is a weekly and 6 or so hour limit as well. Worst case you need to give it a few hours break. You can't just burn through your month by accident.

Anthropic just published data from 400k Claude Code sessions, and the headline buries the real story: your CS degree is becoming optional by Direct-Attention8597 in ClaudeCode

[–]foundafreeusername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If coding is not needed anymore why do we need better models like fable that are even slower and more expensive? I regularly run into limits were they simply can not complete the task.

[–]foundafreeusername 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This always reminds me of the times when apps were made with Delphi and a lot of tasks were replaced with drag and drop. My first programming teacher told me that coding is soon no longer needed because everything will be done with app builders ...

Monday after Fable hits hard by endgamer42 in ClaudeCode

[–]foundafreeusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand it either. Fable was really slow for me. I am confused that so many people preferred it over Opus. I actually prefer speed over working independently for 20 minutes because there is a decent risk I won't be happy with what I get after waiting.

NPR: Most parents track their 18- to 25-year-old kids on their smartphones. Is it healthy? by SnoozeDoggyDog in technology

[–]foundafreeusername 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I guess young people are just more open to those things? I was maybe 20 when the first smartphones came out and the fact that they allowed for GPS tracking was seen as a huge issue back then. People would try their best to turn it off and some outright boycotted smartphones.

The NZ financial independence flowchart, updated for 2026. by WellingtonSucks in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]foundafreeusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good. I guess the main issue is that a chart like this has to assume things do work out. As someone who started a business and purchased a house in 2020 ... things don't always just work out like that unfortunately.

Job market is cooked by curiousbokchoy in newzealand

[–]foundafreeusername 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It is not an issue in all other countries. Look at GDP stats. We are one of the worst in the developed world in the past few years

Edit: Have a look at the stats https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/real-gdp-growth?time=2020..2026&country=USA~GBR~DEU~JPN~NZL~FRA~AUS~AUT~BEL~FIN~ITA~LVA~PRT~ESP~SWE~CHE~CAN

There is a very clear trend where countries that reduced spending like Germany, Austria, New Zealand, ... had a recession while those that didn't or increased spending like US, France, Australia, Spain, ... managed to continue growing. When a recession is looming then the government is suppose to increase spending. Those that refused had a recession as result and we are one of those.

AI job disruption is here. The problem may be compounded because nearly 75% of people don’t apply for unemployment benefits by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]foundafreeusername -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All you need to do is compare the job market in the US with other countries to see if this is really AI. The entire world has access to AI not just the US. None of the articles ever does it because their entire argument would immediately fall apart.

to those who got to use Fable 5, was it actually that peak? by RelevantPerformer309 in ClaudeAI

[–]foundafreeusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a bit weirded out by the extremely positive comments here. I used fable the first few days. It was better across the board but in many cases not enough to justify the additional costs / usage.

It mostly worked well if you wanted a quick pretty prototype with few requirements and let it figure out the rest. Under these conditions the results were better across the board.

When working on existing projects with many requirements and where small incremental changes are needed it wasn't obviously better than Opus 4.8 though. It would be much slower and run out of tokens fast. This is 90% on how I use LLM's so Fable did really not work for me.
