First real attempt with Minimax H3 on my first ComfyUI install. Over 200 generations, edited in CapCut, wears its inspiration on its sleeve but is a prologue to a homebrew world for a D&D group I'm in. Two days of cooking a 5090 while working and an evening of editing... figured I'd share:

Everyone's reacting to the "less people in 5 years" line. That's not the part I'd sit with.

The part that actually matters is how Uber decides — an adoption leaderboard, tracking who's using the tools and how much, feeding straight into headcount math.

That's not a hypothetical for some future reorg.

That's a live measurement system, running today, on people who have no idea they're on it.

 

I've watched that exact math play out before — in concrete and steel, not a dashboard, years before anyone called it AI.

I had the opportunity to be involved in the early design stage of an expansion project for a famous beverage manufacturing plant in Taoyuan, Taiwan – back in 2021. The beverage brand name is so famous, you'll instantly recognize it. So, I won't name it here.

Our team got to work on cool stuff - latest advanced technologies in high-density and automated racking system, bottle conveyor system, robotics, beverage packers, clean room environment, etc. – things that are expected in a high-tech. manufacturing plant nowadays.

Looking at the projected 10-year production forecast, with the given magnitude of the hardware, I would say they are planning to go big.

It's quite a sizeable expansion.

And you would think that they'd increase their headcount proportionately, right?

You'd be surprised. There IS headcount increase, but not as proportional.

It seems as though the machines were taking more centre stage than the humans. Even the office space increase wasn't even a top priority in the design. Their existing office layout can still accommodate the projected increase in manpower.

It was as if human beings are being set aside to make room for more artificial things – even though what they produce are meant to serve human beings.

Kind of ironic, isn't it?

That was back in 2021 before AI come into the picture. Now the compression is even more acute, it seems.

Different guest, same fork in the road: does the tool serve you, or does it just get pointed at you.

The industries change.

The question underneath never does — who's holding the ledger, and whether you're the one reading it or the one being read.

A 2026 WRITER survey backs the pattern from the outside too: 75% of execs privately admit their AI rollout is mostly for show, while the people actually inside the tooling get promoted 3x more often and ship 5x more.

That's the leaderboard, confirmed from a different angle.

 

Genuinely curious where you land: is a visible adoption leaderboard a fair way to measure a team, or is it just a slower-motion version of the same cut?

The leaderboard measures usage. It doesn't measure ownership — and the difference between those two is the actual thing I built the working system around.

Executives don't lack tools.

They lack a ruler.

 

That's the actual claim Ed Zitron made — not "AI is bad," but that the people signing off on AI-assisted work were never equipped to check it in the first place.

They see a document that looks finished and call it done, because "finished-looking" is the only bar they've ever had to clear.

 

For anyone whose whole job is catching the thing that looks fine and isn't — this isn't a tech story.

It's a story about who gets trusted, and why it's rarely the person who's actually right.

 

I've been on the other side of that exact gap.

Long before spreadsheets and dashboards, mine had a tape measure in it.

 

I was working as a Site Engineer for a Singaporean construction company building a primary school in Chua Chu Kang district back in 1998. Time flies. Just graduated from university. Figure I get some site experience first.

One day, I came to the project site. And I saw the newly delivered precast half-flight staircase lying on the ground next the building. I asked around to find out why wasn't it crane-lifted to position, which is between 1st and 2nd floor. And I was told the measurements were off. They couldn't fit it nicely on place.

And so, I went to work. I took my measuring tape, measure the staircase, and recorded the lengths, widths and whatnot. Then I went up to the building's 2nd floor — where the staircase was supposed to fit and meet. And I swung my measuring tape across the length of space between the positions where the 1st and last step of the staircase supposed to sit on. And took the site measurements too.

Then I went back to my office, took out the construction drawings from the drawing rack, lay it on the meeting table. And with a piece of paper, I started drawing it out. I knew full well the measurements I got will not exactly match that in the drawings, because — you know — site tolerances are still allowed and anticipated in the BS Code of Practice.

And then, through calculations, I found it. The measurements were way out of tolerance limit. No wonder the staircase can't fit. The blame squarely landed on our RC works sub-contractor. They screw up the levelling of the building.

Each of us supposed to have an "internal ruler" we rely on, to judge whether things look good or bad. For me, back then, it was Pythagoras and a fresh sheet of paper. My boss, years later, called his the same thing in different words — his "feel," thirty years deep. Kevin O'Leary's is knowing he can smell bullshit from a mile away.

So, coming back to these leadership people that Ed Zitron was attacking: don't they have their "feel" of things before shit hits the fan? Don't they use their "internal ruler" to measure it for themselves? Can't they smell bullshit from a mile away?

Every post on this account keeps circling back to the same thing, whichever industry the clip's from: the people getting quietly pushed out are rarely the ones who got it wrong.

 

Drop your take: what's your internal ruler, and who around you doesn't have one?

If your ruler's ever been right and still overlooked, it's worth seeing what building past that actually looks like.

 

David Gerard runs Pivot to AI oon a server that costs him €7 a month.

Right now, something wearing a fake Chrome mask is hammering it — hopping IP addresses so he can't even block it properly, ignoring robots.txt because robots.txt was never a wall, just a sign nobody was required to read.

He's not a company.

He's not a platform.

He's one guy, doing his own sysadmin work, at 11pm, because the industry ran out of the free internet and started eating the cheap end of it instead.

Not stolen. Just... takenn, quietly, at scale.

 

I've watched this exact shape happen before — just slower, and on paper instead of a server log.

Circa 2005, Malaysia. I was Assistant Technical Manager for one of the largest construction main contractors in the country. We were compiling tender documents for a factory job — flat-flooring work, strict F-numbers, the kind of spec that keeps a forklift's raised forks from clipping the racking on a narrow run.

A subcontractor walked in to drop off her quotation. She glanced at our papers, open on the table.

And she went pale. I heard the gasp.

"这是我写的，为什么会在这里？" — This is what I wrote. Why is it here?

Word for word hers. Now sitting under our company's logo and headings.

She looked at me. I looked at her. She was waiting for an answer I didn't have.

Then her eyes flickered — a thousand thoughts passing through in a second — and she said, "没关系。我可以再写过。" — Doesn't matter. I can write it again.

And she left. Good for her.

Every one of these stories eventually lands on the same fact: the exposure runs downhill, from the platforms with lawyers down to the servers with none.

 

If you're running anything on a boxx that isn't Amazon or Google's, drop your own scraper-traffic story below. I want to see how far downhill this actually goes.

Rohan's not the only one who found out the hard way that "small" doesn't mean "safe" — the actual mechanism for making that stop is one honest look away.

I dont want to make porn pictures and videos but if i ask the ai to create something like a ciggarete or a weapon it declines. lately, it even restricts simple videos with female faces on them or bikinis

Ive been trying to make AI UGC content but the second i use a female model character it just simply rejects it and i cant get anything done. thats without mentioning what happens if the model is low on clothes lol

ive been using this unrestricted platform i found, aside from adult content, it does gore, and any other effects AIs like google flow normally reject like weapons or blood in videogame videos ive made

i found it the other day doomscrolling on IG, its called freemode. i think many of u might like it lol

I have been wanting to do more requests for others users, I have developed a strong affinity for AI tools and know how to achieve almost any result
