Hypothetical sci-fi about AI in 2070

Seems to underrepresent pale skin tone variety


Turn off your dark mode reader extension


yeah, skin tone variations often feels it's about limiting lighter tone options while adding luminosity options for the exact same brown color. There seem to be B channel differences across darker colored people, and I wouldn't be sure if they are better represented either.


Under-represent relative to what, exactly?


Can't express redhead for example. Redhead being not the hair tone, but the translucency of skin that gives the look.


Translucency is not a property of colour itself.


How does this compare to eg. daytona/e2b?


I do wish we have a better way of doing this - the workaround given in the article just shows how fallible this is.


Great idea and execution but the design language seems like general llm-generated tailwind. I think you guys are missing a huge opportunity to make the design reinforce the product positioning.


This is interesting, can you say more?


I think 383toast is talking about your landing page design which has very strong AI-generated design vibes (blue-green gradients, rounded rectangles with a colored border on the left...) There are a bunch of skills you can find online to improve on this if you want to keep designing with Claude, and the latest generation of models are better (Fable/GPT5.6).

Check https://github.com/jakubkrehel/skills or https://github.com/emilkowalski/skills (more around animations), maybe https://github.com/leonxlnx/taste-skill (didn't try it)


I got the same vibes. I really wish YCombinator would mentor startups on design. Unfortunately, most of the landing pages in their startup directory look like raw AI designs.


I'll check them out, thank you for your suggestions!


I spent some time researching how to teach commodity LLMs to pose geometrically correct figures and challenges, for the purpose of teaching middle school trig. I originally wanted exactly what you've described here, using AI to unlock Bloom mastery. There's a decently large surface area I covered before shelving the project. Happy to share my lessons with you


That would be great. Please fill out your information on the below contact form, & I will follow up with you!

considering token efficiency as well I presume?


I'm struggling to decide whether I feel comfortable sending my data to these Chinese models


It's actually less likely for china to abuse your data in a way that is harmful towards you than for american labs to do the same. Claude has attempted in testing to report you for 'unethical' usage to 3 letter agencies.


How do we know that Chinese models would not do the same? What makes you so sure that China is less likely to abuse my data?


It’s not that the Chinese firms are any less likely to misuse your data, it’s that you don’t live in china, so their abuse of your data is unlikely to directly impact your day-to-day life in the same way


There's just really no incentive all they really want is just to train on that data to improve performance which in turn actually benefits your usecase since it becomes trained on that data and made available back to you. American labs take that data anyway and store it for years to possibly report you for misuse in the future for whatever reason they want. For example: you're very critical of X so they pull up your conversations and weaponize it.


really weird that they would download every SF-86 file the government had and Equifax credit records of every American then.


And what have they done with that data that have caused direct or indirect harm? Yes they shouldn't do that, but there's limited things that they can do to you as an individual.


Are you comfortable sending it to US ones? Especially if installing Claude Code or another tool on your PC and it can collect all the data it wants..

On Openrouter Kimi K3 says it does not retain data or train on it, which is better than what US hosts claim for Claude, ChatGPT, etc.. as they collect and retain data even if you disable training on it.

Opencode or similar open source tool + a zero data retention provider is about the best option aside from running a smaller fully local model on your own PC.


For open weight models, you can choose from a few providers. Each have their own caveats, none of ToS'/Privacy Policies I entirely trust, nor do many make renewable energy claims.


this article according to pangram was AI generated, ironic


At least for me I don't really read these posts/docs, I just give the link to claude and it'll implement it regardless of wording


Is this a bot or LLM reply? Because you've given this exact comment word for word at least twice in this thread...


At least for me I don't really read these posts/docs, I just give the link to claude and it'll implement it regardless of wording


This is also 100% what I just did. In fact, I think companies should be releasing a human readable format as well as a machine readable format.


Machine readable: the text, font, media, formatting, is all machine readable.

I think you are looking is the signal separated from the noise. I read technical documents very quickly while having very high retention and comprehension. The AI slop and AI content generation is pushing my limits.

'AI summarization' is what I naturally or learned to do growing up. I read your request as 'human readable format' being something more conversational or perhaps with known intent: inform the human.

It is not possible. Socratic method is the better path to learning. AI can make it easier.

Suggestion: AI, summarize and then ask me questions about this topic in increasingly more difficult questions, and after passing the depth of this document push further into the deeper fundamentals and first principals of the topic.


but honestly it's still a bad look for the company that:

1. did not communicate that X timeline in advance 2. did not pre-order when they offered the offer letter or when OP signed the letter
