attentional

the animal doesn't know it's losing something, because it feels fine. it's fed, right? what else does it need. but at least it has humans to perhaps, recognize this and stop it. but who does humanity have? there is no caretaker, you are your own caretaker

making survival easier than nature intended already has been a part of our lives in many ways, air-conditioners, vehicles, telephones. but the level of 'comfort' with ai is really just making one forget that capability is forged by struggle, and if that extends to your own mind?

does ai kill human instincts? like how you're told not to interfere with the survival of animals in the wild, because if you do, it would potentially make them dependent. but humans are, now, irreversibly dependent

knowing how hard pdfs are to manipulate, this is really cool!

so if (more like, when) electricity becomes cheaper or nvidia produces more chips, the ceiling on human cognitive wages drops automatically, regardless of how many humans are looking for work and then what does society plan to do

@AradhyeAgarwal arrogance doesnt touch the surface here, the real problem is that it feels more like outsourcing your originality/authenticity, makes you question about your own existence and purpose cannot be boiled down to being no better than a clanker

Am I the only one who feels bad using AI to write posts? Like you're expected someone to read something you yourself didn't. Seems arrogant.

@shl could we end up seeing a day where there is a yc-backed company that provides ai-led layoff services

AI makes it a lot easier to conduct layoffs

Genie has transformed how Databricks users work with data, with 3x the accuracy of generic agents. We're sharing some of the research behind it and what makes building data agents challenging. Super proud of our research team's impact with this! databricks.com/blog/pushing-f…

The next virtual talk/QnA for the HF ML Club India w/ @sarahookr is scheduled for 20th May 2026, 10 AM Indian Time onwards. You will want to check out huggingface.co/hf-ml-club-ind… for all the details. No registrations are needed; you just have to find the Calendar link from the above-mentioned page. We understand that 10:00 AM Indian Time is when offices / classes will start for most folks. I suggest you organize watch parties for this. I am sure any sane prof/manager will happily grant that. Let's go.

@tejgw @Chronicle_HQ as someone who has worked on creating a template-aware pptx generator in the past (and has failed to find a perfectly working tool from all existing providers online), i tried chronicle yesterday and it's the only one that provides perfect outputs!

@Chronicle_HQ If you're building decks for a high-stakes use case, sign up to @Chronicle_HQ here: chroniclehq.com

"Anyone who builds decks" was the wrong way to describe our user. It made us try to please everyone, diluting the wedge. The real answer: @Chronicle_HQ has only two users, and they split cleanly. 1/ The External Pitcher - Founders raising capital. - Salespeople closing deals. - People who walk into a room and need to convince outsiders to write checks or sign contracts. These are low-frequency yet high-stakes. These decks are hard to templatise & require multiple iterations to arrive at the final version. 2/ The Internal Convincer: - CFOs running board updates. - Heads of product presenting roadmaps. - Team leads aligning cross-functional groups on a direction. This is a higher frequency & often templated. This is still high stakes, but not as high as the first one.

@donutsandloops it's great work! i've signed up, will be checking it out. can't wait to see where this goes and support/follow your journey.

@perasperagi Thank you, we really appreciate it 💜

very cool idea and an even cooler website! gotta look out for them. chronicle-labs.com

would like to know that what kinds of long context tasks benefit most from SSA (especially in agentic workflows)?

@chatgpt21 that chart is diabolical how is it real

Bro what the hell is happening today

i love it when people build amazing stuff that is unique but was fundamentally required/essential in hindsight

this is the brilliance of gemini pro in antigravity

AGI is here (almost ruined the entire codebase)
