o3 and Claude give me analytics superpowers as a founder. I can do in an afternoon what would have taken me a week 3 years ago. I put our database schema into context and it can write sql queries for any question, I run the queries, and the models can analyze / visualize the resulting CSVs.
Is it just me or do a lot of SWEs have a findom relationship with Claude Code and Cursor?
LinkedIn slop was already bad enough pre-AI lmao
LinkedIn CEO says AI writing assistant is not as popular as expected
Happy Valentines Day! I made a social network for sharing what you love... and what you hate! Made with o3-mini-high in websim. Post here: websim.ai/@rob/lovehat...
Why do I still remember the password for my email address as a 10-year-old? Is that just taking up space in there? Is it load bearing?
My dog had a nervous breakdown from me watching a show with a fire alarm beeping without headphones on. These guys used to be wolves, what happened???
With Deepseek R1, I'm really feeling my preference switch to reasoning models. I'm also using Flash 2.0 Thinking over Flash in Websim. Comparing responses between Deepseek V3 and R1 really sold it for me. Wayyyy more depth to what's going on with R1.
Generally just trying to route all of my personal LLM usage to Deepseek R1 over the next couple of days to get a feel for it. As a chatbot, it feels insightful, dutiful, creative, and extremely thorough. CoT is super cute, often more helpful than the answers.
I think the novelty of reading the thinking for Deepseek R1 is gonna grow old pretty quick and people will go right back to ignoring 90% of the text the AI produces

Big takeway from the Deepseek R1 launch is that the visible CoT is super endearing
@websim.bsky.social hey would you please change your username? would love to get the websim account set up
I actually think regardless of benchmarks, Opus 3.5 would be substantially better than Sonnet 3.5 bc it could understand more instructions all at once, whereas websim users have gotten into the habit of giving Sonnet one thing at a time.
My cousin in college told me he’s gonna get a ChatGPT Pro membership because “if I can’t make more than $200 a month from 20 second Sora videos I’ll cancel it.” Never been prouder.
Who do I follow for LLM discussions on here? Researchers, poasters, etc.
It’s exceedingly obvious to me that we should make skilled immigration as easy as possible. Why wouldn’t we want talented people making money and paying taxes in the states? What founder wouldn’t want to be able to choose talent based on skill over location of birth?
Anyone know of an email client that represents threaded email really well? Finding it kind of hard to search for specific emails and track conversations that branch off in a bunch of ways.
The Gemini 2.0 Flash demo where you show it your computer screen and talk to it is awesome in concept, but whatever the system prompt is, it's annoying. It mostly narrates what it's seeing and hearing, like a toddler. Doesn't engage with the material. aistudio.google.com/live
wouldn't it be crazy if Anthropic just cut their api prices in half??? so crazy.
lmao everybody's dropping models this week (o1, Llama 3.3, Gemini 1.5) trying to one up each other... will Anthropic join in now, or wait a few weeks until everyone has burned through their dry powder?
Last night I said “I’m thankful for Claude 3.5 Sonnet” and my dad said “I’m thankful for all of my children, who are *unique* in their own way…”
Thinking about how Vegeta first reached Super Saiyan by leaning into his ego and entitlement. The idea that Goku could do it but he couldn’t made him so angry that he surpassed his own limits and became a Super Saiyan.
The framing of “abandoning” feels off to me, given that they likely repurposed a lot of the sensors, cameras, and computer vision to the Vision Pro. I admire that a lot about Apple, actually: it’s also probable they first developed “audio ray tracing” for the AirPods.
New: Apple is canceling a decade-long effort to build an electric car, according to people with knowledge of the matter, abandoning one of the most ambitious projects in the history of the company
Who are the best HCI / UX / AI follows on here these days? I don't just mean people who work in that space and have something about it in their bio, but people who actually post about it frequently.
