This new Gemini update is ass

I'm a been on Pro for more than 8 months, so when I saw the redesign, I was excited... at first. My excitement dropped a little when I saw the usage limit thing, but I thought it wouldn’t matter since, usually, with Pro, you can talk to Gemini for a pretty long time. Even if you hit the limit, it normally resets after a few minutes. But my excitement went from 100% to 0% after only like 7 minutes of actually using this update. Not only does Gemini somehow feel way dumber now, but I can’t even talk to it for more than 10 minutes before the usage limit runs out. And this is with PRO. That’s the part that really annoys me. I’m literally paying for the subscription, yet I feel more restricted than before. Genuinely why did Google do this?

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta kicks off major bloodbath with 8,000 layoffs (about 10% of its workforce) as AI roils tech giant

The companywide purge is taking place in three massive waves, as employees across the world are notified in emails at 4 a.m. local time in their respective regions.

Singapore staffers were the first to receive the doomsday emails.

Opencode you naughty minx

Man, AI agents getting pretty crazy these days. :)

(local, I just decided to try to get an orchestrator in there, when Qwen and Gemma aren't up to it.)

Aged like fine WINE

that meme on the chatgpt subreddit is so spot on ngl. we have antigravity ,claude code, for backend they are great no i mean very good at there task cursor too not going to miss on that one for ui stitch and runable its dedicated ui/ux tunning creates stunning ui anyone can create good website with these tools but the problem is those client want to build a project like the next multi million dollas saas i mean bro just sybua ,i mean come one just describe me what you want we create it and me go home you go home and we all enjoy

NeuralCompanion

NeuralCompanion (NC) is an open-source, local-first AI companion project for people who like building, experimenting, and seeing how far personal AI can go on their own hardware.

It brings together realtime voice chat, local LLMs, TTS/STT, image generation, interactive tutorials, API-friendly workflows, and a modular addon system into one desktop app designed to be flexible, hackable, and genuinely fun to explore.

NC also supports avatar systems and avatar engines like VSeeFace, VAM/VAM2, and other experimental realtime avatar workflows.

It is still experimental and a little rough around the edges in places, but that is part of the project. The goal is not to make another locked-down corporate assistant. It is to build a customizable AI companion platform you can actually run, modify, and shape yourself.

If you are into local AI, creative tools, avatars, plugins, voice interfaces, automation, or weird future-facing software, come take a look.

Developers, tinkerers, artists, AI enthusiasts, and curious people very welcome.

Bro skipped “Hello World” and went straight for world domination 💀

Vibe coding confidence is genuinely terrifying 😭

Old programmers used to spend months learning syntax, debugging, reading documentation, and crying over semicolons.

Now people open AI at 2am with maximum confidence and type things like:

“create windows12 and make no mistakes”

No architecture. No specs. No planning. Just pure faith and unlimited optimism.

The funniest part is AI sometimes acts like it might actually try. Suddenly it starts generating folders, writing files, explaining system design, and for 3 minutes you genuinely believe Microsoft is finished.

I had the same delusion recently while using Runable AI to generate a landing page for a side project. Started with “quick page for testing an idea” and 20 minutes later I was acting like I accidentally built a startup.

AI didn’t remove overconfidence. It industrialized it.

Runway Agent is terrible. Wasted 2 hours, got 30 seconds of video

Bought Pro to test the new Runway Agent everyone's been losing their minds over on X, and I have to say it's not ready. The pitch sounds great ONLY on paper. In practice almost none of that actually worked the way the marketing suggests.

I gave it a pretty simple cinematic prompt about a soldier on his phone and the agent kept circling back to these surface-level interpretations even after I corrected it explicitly several times. The story beats it proposed were technically fine but completely generic, like every other AI you've used in the last two years. Then I noticed something weirder when reviewing the output. The video looked consistent across scenes only because the agent was literally repeating the same frame across multiple shots instead of generating new ones. That's not a multi-scene generation, that's a slideshow.

Two hours of back and forth to get thirty seconds of usable footage. My normal manual workflow with separate tools produces the same scope in under an hour.

I've been using Higgsfield Supercomputer for similar end-to-end agent work and it handles brief execution way better, you can intervene at any step of the process, and the same scope runs four or five times faster for the same price point. The agent concept is the right direction, Runway's execution just isn't there yet.

Anyone else tested this? How to fix it?

I’ve been working on a sci-fi short film and wanted to share a WIP here.

My current workflow is a mix of image generation and LTX 2.3 for video ceneration using a first and last frame setup to animate the sequences. I’m still experimenting a lot, but it’s been surprisingly good for building scenes quickly and trying different visual transitions without getting stuck forever.

Would really appreciate feedback on the overall look, shot coherence, and whether the transitions feel smooth enough.
