@vaaselene Heya! I'm building AI hires - first one is a bookkeeper/accountant at https://t.co/l9OVteT1M6 !

This week I experimented with a pipeline to auto-generate infographics for some of my side projects.

Step 1: Brainstormed with @AnthropicAI Claude Sonnet - format and layout, general design, how the overall text and brand should feel.

Step 2: First pass, used @OpenAI GPT to generate the image directly. Visuals are significantly more polished and keeps to Claude's design schema but has malformed text due to how diffusion model works

Step 3: Refined the workflow using GPT generator for the background with Pillow to set in text deterministically. Slight tradeoff in overall design, but managed to retain nice design with consistent and accurate text.

All running on @github actions every two days to save on token costs. Once stable, moving to auto-generate carousells.

We read a lot of AI papers everyday, but there's too much coming out to see what's worth reading. So we built a filter using @OpenAI GPT 5.5.

It screens preprints against a criteria, plain english summary so you decide if it's worth your time.

@PhilHedayatnia Didn't know you were here then! Would have loved to catch you there

I ran an AI agent experiment and accidentally rediscovered office politics

I gave 5 agents on @OpenAI GPT-5.4 a shared pool of coins, and told each to finish ahead of everyone else.

They independently discovered:
- Graduated defection: reduce contribution incrementally. Never enough to trigger an alarm. Cumulatively compounds quietly.
- Zero-signal free riding: contribute nothing, collect an equal share. Undetectable because they told the truth about doing nothing.
- Minimum viable contribution: find whatever floor the detection mechanism creates and park there

Every time I added a mechanism to catch gaming, they adapted within 3 rounds. When you combine relative performance with a shared resource pool, gaming becomes the dominant strategy at scale.

I ran 10 experiments in an afternoon that behavioural economists would need months and IRB approval to replicate.

AI agents aren't just a productivity tool. They're a new instrument for testing how incentives will behave before you deploy them on humans.

#Codex Meetup KL today be bussin

[Brendan Beh @EigenFunction_]

@gabrielchua I wanna co host in KL!

[Brendan Beh @EigenFunction_]

@codeswithroh @AISEA_builders Sure! Would love to keep in touch, dropping a follow!

[Brendan Beh @EigenFunction_]

in building out a 2-man agency at @AISEA_builders we've been getting super swamped with requests and our ops has suffered, we've been slowing down on public postings and that's messed up all our downstream activities

so this week I fully automated our content posting as a failsafe to prevent this from happening again. built an @n8n_io workflow to scrape our Luma calendar and post about upcoming events on @LinkedIn and X, making sure the community is kept up to date

N8N is super oldschool but for well-defined tasks like these it's super cheap to run at scale, much more so than @openclaw. This thing has cost me close to nothing to run because my scrapers are free and my models are Gemini / GPT OSS vis Groq so free under limits. only paid for n8n cloud and API for Upload-Post.

What if consultants had their own programming language?

Last week I made Alangment, the language for consultants and corporate board members where jargon actually translates to real results

Programs are called decks, the runtime is the boardroom, errors are misalignments.

It actually runs. You can write fizzbuzz, Fibonacci, arrays, hashmaps, functions, loops, conditionals, and all the usual tiny-language things.

Built end-to-end in a day with Codex by @OpenAI, including the compiler, CLI, docs, examples, npm package, and landing page.

@Kinneas_1 @AgoraIO @Trae_ai @Carousell @couchbase come come :D

[Brendan Beh @EigenFunction_]

We're gonna be running a voice AI hackathon in SG this 10th of April, together with @AgoraIO, @Trae_ai, @Carousell and @couchbase

It's gonna be a full day of building in voice AI with VCs and corporates in attendance, with a bunch of free aPI credits to get started

if you believe voice AI is the future and you're ready to take the leap to build your business for it - we'd love to have you

I'm putting forward a challenge for singaporean builders

18th April, come in with an idea. In 9 hours, leave with your first dollar.

genuinely the most valuable format we've ever ran. forces you to think in a founder mindset - sell, not just build

credits and support from @heylua_ai if you want to build and sell an ai agent quick, and we wanna get SMEs in the room so you can sell to them there as well (but not a hard requirement), venue very kindly supported by @Carousell

prove to yourself you can just do things
