i thought i was clever i just have adhd

[brian @brianbellx]

I've solved this.

timing:
- agent time: 2m54s (API Streaming + Tool Time = Agent Time)
- total time: 5m12s (includes TTFT/Compactions)
- able to achieve these times because it can 1 shot almost all steps until it reaches step 30.

agent cost:
- $2.0516

took 35 dev hours:
- building/testing/improving tools
- identifying waste
- correcting behaviors

notes:
- not a script using a predetermined path
- no tools use predetermined paths to navigate the challenge
- no overfit instructions
- /start-challenge will be in the comments
- does not exploit session storage to get codes

models tested:
- gemini 3 flash
- opus 4.5
- opus 4.6
- codex 5.3
- gpt-oss-120b
- kimi k2.5
- grok 4.1

final stack:
- opus-4.6
- claude agent sdk & claude code
- gemini-3-flash

Just made this a skill for coding agents. @LexnLin how can we get this into image to code? repo below.

Method to test:

give Fable 5 a hard task, extract reasoning tokens before refusal, give them to another model.

[fofr @fofrAI]

I asked Fable to invent a new color, and I got my first "chat paused". It did however decide to pursue a strategy of shining lasers in your eyes to trigger otherwise impossible cone activations 🤯

wish I could be mentored by @elonmusk

@nahid_pro09 @dr_cintas why

@ThatNYCMan @RaminNasibov even after 5 years a cold climate is closer to the grid and has more available labor than space

[brian @brianbellx]

@ThatNYCMan @RaminNasibov i like this, but they're sending them to space

@ryolu_ Talk more about Design Mode in Cursor. I haven't seen much on this.

[brian @brianbellx]

@everestchris6 Nice work. Check Dm!

[brian @brianbellx]

this AI workflow finds local businesses with ugly websites, generates a redesigned mockup of each one, and mails the owner a physical packet with the new design...on autopilot.

here's how agencies and freelancers can land recurring web design clients with this system:

- pulls every business in any zipcode in real time
- filters out anything that isn't a local business — schools, churches, even mosques
- screenshots every site and determines if a redesign is needed.
- generates a fully redesigned mockup of each ugly site with gpt-image-2
- drafts a personalized letter to the owner with the new design on the next page
- queues everything in an approval UI for one-click review
- ships the packet physical via PostGrid — less than $2 per prospect

every step from discovery to redesign to physical mail can be automated.

reply "BUILD" with the manual workflow eating your team's time. taking on 3 free builds this month.

@Kappaemme1926 here it is:

i think intelligence can figure out speed. but i have a hard time believing that speed can figure out intelligence.

[Sam Altman @sama]

i get some anxiety not using the smartest-available model/settings.

but sometimes i dont mind if it's really slow.

i wonder if we should focus more on a price/speed tradeoff relative to a price/intelligence tradeoff.
