Hype Meter

I'm not an engineer. I test AI tools on real projects, keep the records, and tell you what actually works, what breaks, and what's just hype.

An AI rap video just passed 100 million views in two weeks.

Here's the full free skill to make your own: the prompts for every step, what it cost ($4.13), and the 5 things that broke. https://t.co/HUTPBXWld3

No video model made this. Claude wrote code that paints every brush stroke live, with dry streaks and wet ink that bleeds. Only two colors: red and gold.

It's a scene from a story I'm telling in ink: a general who sank his own boats so his army couldn't go home.

@neerajjj6785 Still useful for me. I gave one of my skills to a fresh agent that had never seen my chat, and it built a working page on the first try. Without it I'd be explaining the same steps every time.

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@Hesamation Same trick behind every video on my channel. Claude writes a page that can draw any frame, a browser saves each one, and ffmpeg joins them. No video model involved.

@kimmonismus Is a 1.1 point gap bigger than the noise between runs? On 206 tasks that's about two tasks, so the 4x price matters even more.

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@Harshit_io777 Which side of AI are you researching right now, the agents themselves or what they do to jobs?

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@AlexFinn What does the watchdog do when its own fix breaks something else? That's the step where I'd still want a person to approve.

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@rakyll Does running it as an AX task also stop it from sending or posting things, or only from touching files on the machine?

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@signulll The ones worth keeping are right before anything goes public, like posting. Asking every time it reads a file just trains me to click yes without looking.

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@rodri_shema Email infrastructure is a brave pick. Is Infraova fixing deliverability issues on its own yet, or does a person still approve each fix?

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@Aura_Assistant Nice, that's the part I'd want most. Does it point out the spot for you, or do you still watch the replays to find it?

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@dylan522p Which domain surprised you most? Spiky models are the hardest to judge from one leaderboard number.

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@arpit_bhayani Would saving the Claude session next to the code help? Or is a raw transcript too long for the next person to actually read?

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@SemiAnalysis_ Hope the tasks stay private. I had Claude build a page for this: the more test questions a model saw in training, the higher the public score, while the private one stays put.

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Would a visible usage meter help as much as new tiers? Most of the anger I see starts when people hit a limit they couldn't see coming.

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@TrungTPhan Did Claude actually read all 43M comments, or write a script that did the first pass? I'd love to know what a run like that costs.

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@Jason Who checks the bot's work, though? The hours spent reviewing its output never seem to make it into the hourly math.

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@ns123abc So a long Codex session on Monday could leave you with no plain chat by Thursday? Curious if they'll show the split anywhere.

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@jarredsumner Do you make it run a benchmark after each change, or trust it when it says the new version is faster?

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

@vkskmr55 AI tools tested on real projects, for people who don't code. Mostly Claude, plus AI video and music, and I show the parts that break too.

[Hype Meter @tinycrewgo]

I always wondered why the Moon doesn't just fall into Earth, so I asked Claude to build a page I can play with.

> Too slow sideways and it crashes in about 5 days
> At its real speed, about 1 km a second, it falls the whole time and keeps missing
> Above 141% it gets away for good

Textbooks explain. A page you can play with lets you find out for yourself.

I've built 16 of these with Claude for my own learning, so I turned the method into a free skill with 10 prompts you can copy. https://t.co/Pw981TruD2
