@DanjiTosaka amazing bro

[Alex the Engineer @AlexEngineerAI]

@sachindetrax Yes exactly. I learned a lot in those last 12 months.

[Alex the Engineer @AlexEngineerAI]

8 builds in 12 months.
0 hits.

Not quitting.
Just done pretending the last one was the one.

[Alex the Engineer @AlexEngineerAI]

@thejustinfagan Always down to chat

[Alex the Engineer @AlexEngineerAI]

@feifei_qiu wow incredible. you taking the risk and the hard work will pay off.

[Alex the Engineer @AlexEngineerAI]

@TimothyReavis you are 100% right

[Alex the Engineer @AlexEngineerAI]

it's late, i'm frustrated, but doesn't matter, head down and keep building

[Alex the Engineer @AlexEngineerAI]

@nicklaunches That’s incredible. Need to learn from you

[Alex the Engineer @AlexEngineerAI]

@nicklaunches You are right… but I am guilty of that sometimes… however sometimes I find good content and it gives me new ideas

[Alex the Engineer @AlexEngineerAI]

@feifei_qiu thank you for the advice...but late nights are when I get most of my work done.

Welcome to the future of dating

[Delia Lazarescu @tech__unicorn]

i just found out my bestfriend broke up with her sf boyfriend over the weekend

i asked what happened

she goes "i found out he had an ai agent managing the relationship"

turns out the thoughtful texts, the check-ins, the good morning messages, the conflict resolution, dinner date plans...all automated

my friend was emotionally attached to a cron job

Anthropic be a rebel and don’t comply.

🇪🇺 Donc l'UE a encore pondu une idée complètement débile et l'impose aux fournisseurs d'IA.

À partir de maintenant tous les contenus passés par Claude (et bientôt toutes les IA qui s'y conformeront) seront tracés comme générés par IA. Filigrane invisible dans le texte + métadonnées C2PA dans les fichiers.

Sur le papier : transparence. Dans la réalité : débile et contre-productif pour au moins 5 raisons :

- Ça ne marche pas. Tu reformules deux phrases, tu traduis, tu coupes : le filigrane saute. Les fraudeurs le savent déjà.

- Ça punit les bons élèves. Anthropic va jouer le jeu. Les acteurs louches, open source ou chinois, s'en foutent complètement.

- Ça crée des faux positifs absurdes. Tu fais juste relire ton mail ou traduire ton slide par Claude = tu deviens "contenu généré par IA".

- Ça donne une fausse sécurité. Pas de filigrane ne veut PAS dire que c'est humain. Mais c'est exactement ce que les gens vont croire.

- Ça plombe encore l'Europe. Nouvelle charge technique pour nos boîtes, pendant que les US et la Chine déploient. L'AI Act voulait protéger, il va juste ralentir.

On voulait de la transparence. On aura de la bureaucratie et des watermarks que personne ne saura lire, sauf pour emmerder ceux qui respectent les règles.

Bravo l'UE. 🤗🖕

@DegenApeDev @Tesla Unfortunately it’s way too far from my location… not willing to move to Ottawa

[Alex the Engineer @AlexEngineerAI]

@solopribuilds Bro there are still people out there refusing to use AI

[Alex the Engineer @AlexEngineerAI]

@vaaselene All of them work… you just got to sell it right

[Alex the Engineer @AlexEngineerAI]

Heart attack?

[Charly Wargnier @DataChaz]

Qualcomm’s AI robot collapsed mid-presentation 😭

@buildwithsid Bro, who googles make design?

🤷‍♂️

At half the price that’s awesome

[BridgeMind @bridgemindai]

CLAUDE OPUS 5 DROPS TODAY.

Fable 5 level intelligence. HALF the price.

Opus 4.8 fell behind the whole frontier. GPT 5.6, GPT 5.5, even open source Kimi K3 passed it.

Today Anthropic answers.

The best model in the world at half price?

We find out in hours.

@levelsio @_mattwelter @pedrotech_ Thanks for this I was looking for something like reelfarm… signing up today.
