Back then Open source ai was new an upcoming it was dumb and expensive, now we’ve moved a few years forward and the landscape has changed with kimi k3 rivaling Sol and Fable and being open source however that open source is for enterprise but look at this pattern.

Qwen 3.8 27B just released locally and can run your laptop/desktop and it’s taking the local world by storm it’s better than Opus 4.6, it’s only a matter of time till open source model have sol level intelligence and it’s personal. The reason I say this is intelligence has gone up and prices are going down will OpenAi have a moat because Meta and Grok have caught up basically and it’s only a matter of time till Google and Apple catch up and embed local models into their ecosystem.

For me, I use Ai to just organize some stuff in my email, and also I vibe code just for the thrill of it, maybe I’ll make a serious thing soon idk.

What are your thoughts/uses for Ai could be anything ranging to, vibe coding, if you have ai as personal planner, or anything I’m interested in your takes.

Personally I don’t see why and how openrouter is worth that much. Feels like a scam for being bought out by that much. I also don’t know why Stripe a payment processor wants to buy an Ai router one could vibe code in a week.

What’re your thoughts?

I think this is one of the biggest lies told to others especially to those who are autistic. You ever have a moment with life and you try to explain what happened only to be told ”Stop making excuses.” There are reasons to certain things in life and it can’t just be put into a yes or no situation, or a situation where you’re just making an excuse. I find it frustrating sometimes when I’m trying to explain why something happened and It’s completely voided as me making an excuse. I’m not trying to put myself as an angel but usually when situations happen and another person explains to me what went down I dont throw it out window and say they’re making excuses rather I try to understand what went wrong and acknowledge their perspective.

I’m 19M, Cameroonian, born and raised there and my immigrant parents brought to the USA when I was 9.

My entire childhood and early adulthood was extremely toxic. Things like parents preying on my grades, insulting me and physically hitting me over the littlest. My education was decided for me even you the big 3 “Either you will be a lawyer, an engineer or a doctor” They urged me on the medical route just because a good amount of the family is in the field. I never really struggled in school despite having ADHD and not taking meds, but the moment you bring something that’s not an A youre cooked.

I actually remember one time in 6th grade because I hated my parents always complaining about my grades I had hid my progress reports, they eventually found out and whooped me during the middle of it my mom saw my grade in math and I remember she said ”you have a 90 in math and it’s barely even an A” bro…..…..

Another time during junior year of high school I was sick and missed some days so the teachers had to put in 0 for my assignments until I made it up, my Dad gets an automated email from the school for my grades and he sees this calls me down and yells at me and says “If I continue on this path I’ll never be anything in life” mind you I had a 92 in that class and missed the 0 because I couldn’t even do anything but aye I guess he forgot maybe idk.

Another time I was tasked with folding clothes my dad left and when he came back even though I was almost done he said I took too long ngl though I was watching the tv but It didn’t even last for that long tbh and he whooped me till I got a bloody nose.

So these past months I just walked out the house and I’ve been better so far although life might have its own hardships It’s not that bad as my parents made it seem. Ill say this if anyone wants to leave I’m not saying just leave your parents after any inconvenience but probably think it through for me I just couldn’t live with them, I got called a disappointment, and got hit for dumbest things I wasn’t taking that. So if anyone does leave make sure you get your documents right ID, passport, SSN etc…, have a job because my stupid self didn’t but some friends let me stay rent free, save money, find a place to stay, if you have a car that’s a plus and I promise you it will be okay. Also get your mental health checked by a doctor, I am a firm believer in getting your mental health right.

So far I’ve been doing things I’ve always wanted to do without the restrictions or getting permission from my parents, I rather take life into my own hands than have it be decided by people who wouldn’t listen. That’s my story so far, and also I got medicated for ADHD. Like I said I’m not saying just leave your parents anyhow but if you feel like the cons outweigh the pros do it.

A good amount of the times this has happened when speaking to Neurotypicals, less with Neurodivergent people. It's like you're literally putting logic, and facts down at the table and they just ignore it and proceed to say/react emotionally, what's the science behind that? For example trying to explain why I don't think one should say billionaires are all evil because as humans it's our core nature to be good and bad not one or the other 100%. This person Im arguing says Mark Zuckerberg has done nothing, and this happened on Instagram(a platform he owns). I didn't even respond for my mental sanity just went about my day after that.

I'll go first. Just like anything in life there's good and bad.

I've had some friends with ADHD that have been pivotal to my life and are still close friends, and I have had run ins with people with ADHD that make me question their existence it's like with them they will act like how some neurotypicals act except worse.

For example I had a bad encounter with a roommate with ADHD that thought I was going to harm their cats, and he had called me lazy, unreliable, and irresponsible. First off the guy is 25 and got kicked out of Uni for failing too much, next the insults were because of pure insecurities from him, and example will be him attacking me based on absolutely nothing, and when I give him logic he takes that as a threat, and two the cat situation was because he said "it was because I yelled at his cats" I told him yeah because his cat scratched me and he blamed me for holding it? I held it to feed it not harm it.

However that's just a rare situation I know not everyone with ADHD is like that but I hate those that I encounter and they have no logic to their lives and are just worst versions of Neurotypicals.

Anyone felt the same or had a different experience? I'll love to hear.

I’ll go first. When ever I speak to a neurotypical(some not all) for some reason they can’t understand what comes out of my mouth. I can try and be as logical and concise as possible and they look at me fucking weird or just say I’m yapping. Not my fault your attention span is cooked and you can’t comprehend logic.

Hi I recently built Ping and got 8 users on my first day yesterday now the only thing is I'm making this free and want advice for how one will scale to make profits.

Right now since it's beta I'll for costs out of pocket but if it does grow big I've come down to these solutions.

1. Run ads
2. Charge poeple later on (i dislike this)
3. Run ads to make it free, but then if someone does not want to see ads they pay?

Months ago, I was using it based on a reccomendation from my friend. Perplexity had done a great job of research for me. My friend had bought the pro plan and I did aswell.

Fast forward to today, I never use it, and when I do I'm disappointed. It hallucinates constantly, gives me information I didn't ask for, and keeps getting thinner in what the subscription provides. Plus I had to manually keep checking sources only to see the ai was saying something completely different.

In contrast, other AI services like ChatGPT and Claude are getting better at what was previously Perplexity's niche. It can handle web researching and summarising as well as Perplexity ever could, and significantly better than it can now. Technically I'm not tripping but what made me switch was because they made it free. Why pay Perplexity when the others made the same feature better and for free you know

I did feel frustrated and made Ping so that I can get perplexity style ai answers with sources, and quotes(for human answers) but for free.

Did Perplexity get worse for you? What's been your experience?

Ok so here's my situation.. yesterday I released Ping and I've been grinding reddit/twitter to find beta users. My goal was to get 10, yesterday I got my 8th user

The users have given me some good feedback, and I decided to make the product free

All is well. I think I'm ready to start being more aggressive and scaling this thing.

But now i'm wondering how can I scale this more? to get the next 100-1000?

This is meant to compete with Perplexity and other AI search engines, so I'm trying to figure out what one can do to scale this.

Has anyone hit this situation before? Any tips? Am I thinking about this the right way?

Hey everyone!

I’m excited to share an early beta of Ping— a free, accuracy based alternative to Perplexity, Google AI mode, and ChatGPT search

Here’s what makes Ping different:

• Accuracy: To me the problem was the AI search was too inaccurate sometimes I always found myself checking the sources and seeing something completely different, Ai search engines today summarize links. Perplexity states: "When you ask Perplexity a question, it uses advanced AI to search the internet in real-time, gathering insights from top-tier sources. It then distills this information into a clear, concise summary, delivering exactly what you need in an easy-to-understand, conversational tone." The problem is this is prone to heavy hallucination for AI answers as the core nature of LLM's as they are rewarded for guessing rather than uncertainty.

  CJR stated that "Collectively, they provided incorrect answers to more than 60 percent of queries." Inspiration to make this came from Lenny's Newsletter I noticed the amount of quotes used to support his claim while he still talked in his own words. This made me combine both Ai answers with the way he worded his article(alot of quotes) reason being because quotes provide, accuracy, authenticity, and credibility via human answers not mostly AI answers unlike other Ai search engines which only summarize

• Free: I'll be making this free to use compared to Perplexity

I plan to improve the answers so that responses become as accurate and detailed as possible but it's a beta and I'll love to hear what the feedback is.
