@LinkofSunshine How renowned are you if you get hired as an intern?

@peakcooper I got this in the GLM 5.2 web chat interface, so you would expect the full system prompt to be in play.

What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The coolest art social experiment I’ve seen in a while. Thank you @SHL0MS

Introducing SubQ - a major breakthrough in LLM intelligence.

It is the first model built on a fully sub-quadratic sparse-attention architecture (SSA),

And the first frontier model with a 12 million token context window which is:

- 52x faster than FlashAttention at 1MM tokens
- Less than 5% the cost of Opus

Transformer-based LLMs waste compute by processing every possible relationship between words (standard attention).

Only a small fraction actually matter.

@subquadratic finds and focuses only on the ones that do.

That's nearly 1,000x less compute and a new way for LLMs to scale.

OpenAI JUST released how people are using chatgpt

each bar in this chart is a billion-dollar wedge if you build the right verticalized, trust-rich AI startup:

1/ tutoring + teaching (10.2%) - people want on-demand teachers more than almost anything else. a personal ai tutor that explains things your way, remembers your progress, and nudges you daily.

2/ how-to advice (8.5%) - this is consumer SaaS for micro-niches: “how to fix my resume,” “how to meal prep,” “how to set up my Shopify store.” every “how-to” is a wedge into a vertical AI agent.

3/ personal writing + editing (18% combined) - 8% of traffic is people asking AI to write emails, 10.6% is editing or critiquing text. this is demand for AI copilots inside every workflow tool: sales, legal, HR, PR.

4/ health, fitness, beauty, self-care (5.7%) - validated consumer wedge. people already trust AI with their bodies. AI trainers, AI nutritionists, AI skin coaches — with a human layer for accountability.

note: btw if you like seeing ideas/trends like this, you'll like @ideabrowser (free/paid plans)

5/ purchasable products (2.1%)- tiny % but huge monetization. people literally asking AI what to buy. the Amazon affiliate model gets reborn here. whoever builds the “AI-powered shopping layer” owns the new SEO.

6/ translation (4.5%)still unsolved. what people want isn’t raw translation, it’s contextual translation: tone, culture, slang. AI that doesn’t just translate but localizes your intent.

7/ computer programming (4.2%) - we know this, but it’s worth underlining: devs want copilots. the non-obvious play is vertical code copilots... Shopify dev copilot, Unreal Engine copilot, etc.

TLDR;

every bar is a behavior that people are already paying for elsewhere. translate those behaviors into vertical ai agents and startups.

the data doesn't lie.

Me as Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor: "Today class, we are going to take on a boggart. But first, are any of you afraid of clowns?"
Class: *three hands*
Me: "You three, get the fuck out."

Glad to see another talk by @keystonelemur but was worried the Rubocops would show up and ruin the fun #seruby
