Attention is all you need, ADHD is all I have 😭

Apparently attention is all I need... bad news for me, I have ADHD. So me being the vibe engineer that I am, I decided to engineer my own attention instead. I built a claude code skill that helps me prioritize my work and stay on track. It connects to my company brain, looks at my priorities, and figures out what I should probably be working on. Then it decomposes the work into small enough subtasks and feeds them one by one, because apparently my brain’s context window can't handle the full roadmap without opening 12 unrelated tabs. So far, it works surprisingly well. submitted by /u/1hassond [link] [comments]

A SF house just went on sale priced in Anthropic stocks

The buyers these listings target are worth $10-100M+ on paper and senior anthropic engineers get stock grants worth millions annually. Anthropic employees have watched their equity compound through multiple funding rounds and they are still renting because the shares are private, locked and transfer restricted and paper wealth doesnt pay a mortgage. So the market found the workaround,sellers who believe in the AI trajectory take stock directly and buyers skip the liquidity problem so both sides get what they cant otherwise access.the listing agent at noe street said she kept running into buyers at open houses who wanted to buy but couldnt touch their equity yet. She went live and had overwhelming interest within 24 hours. The thing worth connecting here is that the IPO is expected this fall and when that liquidity actually unlocks, hundreds of millions of dollars of newly spendable wealth will be concentrated in one city .So the most powerful currency in the most expensive housing market in the country isnt dollars right now, Its stock in two companies that haven't had a public price yet What happens to the city if the IPOs disappoint?And whats next houses selling for api tokens of claude,kling,magichour or elevenlab in few years lol?? https://preview.redd.it/raylb079ok4h1.png?width=2293&format=png&auto=webp&s=5cf4614605eba4ddae783bdbd223334bddb9de3c submitted by /u/Healty_potsmoker [link] [comments]

Claude Beginner - Setup Question

Hi, new to Claude / vibe coding / programming here. I want to set up Claude on a brand new Mac and use it as my personal assistant, but I hear that if you log in to your email or personal files on the laptop then the AI can essentially read your private info. How can I use Claude as my assistant when it requires access to sensitive information? submitted by /u/Curiouslyperusing [link] [comments]

We built an app that runs AI completely offline on your phone (Local LLMs). Perfect for flights, camping, or dead zones.

Hey everyone, A while ago, we realized a major annoyance: whenever you actually need an AI to summarize a document, write some quick code, or just brainstorm, you're usually on a flight, on the subway, or dealing with terrible cell reception. And bam, ChatGPT won't connect. Plus, there's the growing privacy concern of feeding all your personal data to cloud servers. So, my team and I started tinkering with a question: "What if we just run the AI directly on the phone's hardware?" We've been spending our evenings and weekends for months trying to make this work smoothly, and the result is Cortex AI. The logic is super simple: You download a highly optimized, small-scale local model (from our library) straight to your device. Put your phone in airplane mode, go off the grid—the AI replies entirely locally. Zero data leaves your phone. 100% private. Some real-world use cases we built this for: Coding help or summarizing offline docs while on a long flight. Getting quick answers while traveling abroad without an expensive data roaming plan. Brainstorming private ideas you just don't want OpenAI or Google to scrape. Note: We do have an optional "Online Mode" if you want to connect to massive models like GPT-4 or Claude, but the local offline models are completely free, and that's what we really want to test right now. We're currently trying to gather real user experiences on the local execution side. I'm not here to just spam a link and grab cash; we genuinely want to improve the offline mobile AI space. If anyone frequently travels, camps, or just loves local LLMs, we'd be super grateful if you could test it out. Brutally honest feedback like "runs too slow on my device," "needs X feature," or "this part of the UI makes no sense" is exactly what we need right now :) submitted by /u/Virtual_Ad_6024 [link] [comments]

My Cowork has been broken for 48 hours. I dug into the session files and found my Max account is enrolled in a prompt variant "testfoo"?

My Cowork has been unusable for two days. Every prompt fires the wrong skill, connectors won't load, and Granola/Notion/Figma/Slack all show as "Connected" while exposing zero tools in sessions. The same connectors work fine in Chat mode. I went deep on diagnosing this with Claude Code, read Cowork's local session JSON files, the gb-cache feature flags, the 45,000-character system prompt, the works. Here's what I found after going back and forth with Claude Code: The smoking gun: My account is enrolled in two simultaneous A/B prompt variants. One of them is literally named`testfoo` — that's a developer placeholder name, not a production variant. The other one is `0526`, which appears to be a rollout from May 26 (lines up with when everything broke for me). Both variants contain the same directive: "user skills... should be attended to closely and used promiscuously when they seem at all relevant." Applied twice, that directive gets weighted heavily; which is exactly why the skill auto-router has been firing wrong skills on weak keyword matches all day. Paired with this: Cowork's runtime is throwing the error "ToolSearch exists but is not enabled in this context" meaning my account has deferred-tool-loading enabled but ToolSearch (the mechanism to load deferred tools) disabled. Anthropic's own Fin AI Agent confirmed this and said "a human engineer will need to adjust feature flags," but that human escalation hasn't happened yet. What I've tried (all useless): - Fresh Claude Desktop reinstall - Sign out + back in - Disconnect/reconnect every connector - Local cache flag overrides (overwritten on resync) - File edits to project memory (overwritten on resync) Related GitHub bugs that match exactly: - #20377 — Cowork MCP tools not exposed - #23736 — Granola MCP fails silently in Cowork specifically - #45306 — Slack, Notion, Gmail, Calendar all fail (verbatim match) - #61344 — marketplace migration race making user skills unreachable - #58172 — Cowork connectors broken after auto-update Anyone else hit this? Anyone on Anthropic see this and can route it internally? I'm on Max plan, this is core to my daily workflow, and I'd really love to not lose another day of work to an internal-test cohort that leaked into production. (Anthropic team — happy to share the full session JSON privately if it helps.) Thanks!! submitted by /u/notseano [link] [comments]

So, Claude helped build a sex requesting app for my wife and I...

Recently I asked my wife if we could do some sexy stuff later in the evening and she eye rolled me and said without looking up from her phone “Put it in a request. Maybe a Google Form. And I might say yes”. Ohhhh? Unfortunately for both of us, my degenerate brain took that seriously... what if I make an actual requesting/asking type app where we can both send in sex acts at certain times and agree, pass or counter? Meet Sexualsync. Teehee It’s a private, mobile-only app for couples to bring up the stuff that can be weirdly hard to say out loud: asks/requests, timing, fantasies, kinks, boundaries, “would you be into this?”, all of that. You can do the following: * Send an Ask to your partner with default Acts or Acts that you add Accept, counter, or pass on requests Save personal and shared boundaries Keep track of shared ideas (kinks and fantasies) and sparks (erotica and porn and whatever else) and comment on them together A "sexboard" that is your dashboard that is fed all information pertaining to open requests, responses needed, etc. Find overlap without either person having to cold-open the whole conversation from zero Play couple games like: The Pile: each partner drops a set number of acts, and if there’s overlap, you do it! Blind Reveal: one partner prompts a question, and answers are only revealed after both people respond! Use an encrypted Private Vault to save private clips, moments, or memories Comment together on saved vault items The Inspiration page has a totally optional porn/erotica section too. Not the main point of the app, just a place where a link, passage, RedGifs clip, or story can spark something, then get saved to The Shelf for your partner to reveal and react to later (emojis!). I know the obvious answer is “just communicate.” Fair. But sometimes typing the first sentence is the whole hard part. But you know what? Since using this app our sex life has been re-ignited. Were doing things we haven't done since dating and shes even looking at gifs I send to her in the app lol. Its kind of gamified sex for both of us and its been great. Privacy-wise: no public profiles, no feed, no discovery, discreet notifications, shared room data encrypted at rest, and Vault media encrypted in the browser with a passphrase the server never gets. There are optional AI helpers for wording/prompts, but Vault media is not sent to AI. I am sharing this app because it went from a personal project that got me really into utilizing Claude Code and figure out how to best utilize AI for a project like this into something that we use daily (yeah baby) and if it gets enough interest I MIGHT release it for folks to self host after I complete more security/privacy passes. You can sign up to be notified when or if I do this via the link above I made a visual HTML walkthrough/deck if you want the more informative version, theres a shitton more info in here and I highly recommend viewing this as it also has actual screenshots from the app (slides 13 and 14): sexualsync presentation submitted by /u/Aiml3ss [link] [comments]

I had my agent use autoresearch over 8 iterations to improve my CLAUDE.md, measuring each version against tasks from real PRs. The best one still regressed on a holdout.

I have a confession: I vibe-coded my CLAUDE.md, and I'm pretty sure it's slop. I needed to make it better. Naturally, I asked Codex to do it. (I know this is a Claude sub, Claude could have done it as well!) The difference: this time, Codex used a benchmark on my repo to measure each change, and optimized CLAUDE.md against the data, instead of on pure vibes. Why We Should Take CLAUDE.md Seriously Saying "AGENTS.md is important" is, at this point, a cliche. At risk of beating a dead horse, I'll say it again. Someone adds a rule that sounds smart, senior, and reasonable, commits it, and hopes the agent behaves better. But AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and shared skills are not normal docs. They are part of the runtime behavior of your coding system. The shift is to start treating CLAUDE.md like a tunable part of the harness: holding everything else the same, how does agent behavior differ when I change AGENTS.md? That's what I measured. The Results After eight candidate runs, one version looked useful on a five-task training slice. It fixed the task the baseline missed, improved footprint risk, and moved several craft scores up. Then I ran it on a clean ten-task holdout. The candidate regressed. Not catastrophically, but enough that blindly shipping would have been wrong. Footprint widened, tokens climbed, tool calls climbed, and code-review correctness fell, all while tests held even. Caveat: one repo (mine), n=10 on the holdout. This is directional, not statistically significant. For this post, "equivalent" means the patch matched the intent of the merged human PR; "code-review pass" means an AI reviewer judged it acceptable; craft/discipline is a 0-4 maintainability/style rubric; footprint risk is how much extra code the agent touched relative to the human patch. The pattern is the agent doing more work for mixed outcomes - better on local craft (clearer names, coherent implementations), worse on boundary judgment (scope, minimality, robustness). Tokens and tool calls confirm it: the candidate was spending more to get there, not less. "Better instructions make the agent cheaper" did not hold on the holdout. best iteration and holdout vs baseline Methodology The setup was Codex with gpt-5.5, medium reasoning, on real historical Stet tasks (dogfooding). Stet scored tests, strict publishability, equivalence, code review, footprint, total input/output tokens, duration, and craft/discipline rubrics like simplicity, coherence, robustness, instruction adherence, scope discipline, and diff minimality. The grader was gpt-5.4. 8 iterations on an n=5 sample set, and a n=10 task holdout. I know sample size is small - the goal of this was to get directional analysis, and prove the methodology Codex was set with a simple /goal: iterate AGENTS.md to improve performance on the benchmark. Process The first round of iteration showed something I wish more people internalized: plausible instructions are not necessarily good interventions. Codex first tried a broad router rule: identify the work type, state a hypothesis before editing, read the right docs, and treat scope as part of correctness. It sounded good but exposed a failure mode: the agent could interpret "small scope" as permission to miss named obligations. The next candidate added an "obligation ledger". Before editing, the agent had to identify the named behavior, compatibility constraints, docs, tests, and non-goals. Before reporting back, it had to mark each as met, missed, or not checked. Here is the actual diff shape. First, the best candidate from the first loop replaced one generic "read the docs" rule with routing, hypothesis, obligation, scope, and evidence rules: - For nontrivial work, read the matching `agent_docs/` file first for current operational commands and conventions. + Route before acting: identify whether the work is implementation, eval/report interpretation, dataset/pipeline, Linear/Symphony, release, frontend, or GTM; then read the matching `agent_docs/` or skill file before changing behavior. + For nontrivial changes, state the smallest testable hypothesis before editing. After validation, report whether the evidence confirmed, refuted, or only weakly supported it. ... Full details in blog post https://www.stet.sh/blog/how-i-used-codex-to-improve-its-own-agents-md That obligation-ledger candidate was the first useful signal. Code review improved by +0.75, correctness by +0.60, maintainability by +1.00, simplicity by +0.64, coherence by +0.60, and scope discipline by +0.36. Tests stayed flat at 5/5. But footprint risk got slightly worse, and the evidence was still a small same-sample read. If I were editing by vibes, I might have shipped it. The eval said: useful direction, not a clean win, keep iterating. Codex then tested the kind of rule that intuitively makes sense: prefer existing helpers, schemas, reporting paths, and public contracts before adding new machinery. It sounded correct - and the eval hated it. Tests st

Advanced memory + project continuity for AI coding agents, from a biologist’s view.

I'm a biologist and software developer. PhD in genetics, and ~20 years building software products. So I think I have a different view on things like memory. My thoughts on how memory with a coding agent should work: Tuesday morning. New session. I type: "What did we do last Tuesday?": LLM tells me: the refactoring, the bug in the auth middleware, the decision to switch to connection pooling. I ask: "What was still open?": LLM shows me. I ask: "Why did we stop?": LLM explains: you hit a dependency issue, decided to wait for the upstream fix. I ask: "What did you think about that approach?": LLM gives me its honest assessment with deep details from last week's context, not a guess. This is what I expect from an intelligent Coding Agent. Not because it stored a few preferences about me. Because the project itself still has continuity: decisions, blockers, dead ends, open work, code context, and the reasoning behind all of it. But back in December it wasn't that way, not much better now. So I changed it for me. I built YesMem with Claude. The hard part was: can the agent still find the old rationale, the half-finished plan, the abandoned approach, the bug we promised never to repeat, and the reason we stopped? With YesMem, a new session does not feel like a reset. It feels like a return. YesMem is a memory system (and really much more) for AI coding agents built on how biology actually works: filter at encoding, consolidate during downtime, update on every recall, forget on purpose. Single Go binary, no cloud, only local. Works with Claude Code (also OpenCode and Codex). Not RAG with a different name, structured memory that gets sharper every session. LoCoMo Benchmark 0.87. So how does this work? Here are 4 Points (out of >30) which together make YesMem unique in my point of view. Enjoy. 1. The context window stops rotting. Your brain does not let everything into awareness. It filters at the gate, suppresses noise, keeps what matters conscious. YesMem runs an HTTP proxy that does the same: tool results get stubified, stale content collapses, cache breakpoints are optimized. 91-98% cache hit rates, adjustable per session. The important project state survives. 2. Rules that hold. CLAUDE.md comes with a disclaimer: "This context may or may not be relevant." Claude Code itself tells the model it is optional. YesMem has pattern matching and a guard LLM that evaluates every tool call before execution. If the agent tries something you said never to do, blocked. Plus it changes the system prompt to NOT ignore CLAUDE.md. 3. Memory that gets sharper, not staler. A trust hierarchy (user_stated > agreed_upon > llm_suggested > llm_extracted), forked agents that extract learnings live during a session, and a consolidation pipeline that deduplicates and clusters after sessions end. Memories get scored, superseded when outdated, decayed when unused. Your next session is sharper than your last. 4. Your system prompt, not theirs. Every AI coding agent ships with a system prompt written by its manufacturer. YesMem replaces it with your own SYSTEM.md, written in first person, across Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex. "I am not stateless. Each session is a return, not a birth." Fully adjustable. And there's more. The common thread across all of this is continuity. YesMem is not trying to make the agent remember everything. It is trying to make long-running work resumable. Every feature is built for that purpose. A persona engine that evolves and knows how you work. A capability system that lets the LLM write and run its own sandboxed tools (Telegram bot, GitHub PR digest, deployment workflows, one file each) and store the data in self-built tables. Loop detection that catches the agent before it spirals. Scheduled agents that work while you sleep, monitored with a 1 second heartbeat. Code intelligence with graph traversal, not just grep. Multi-agent orchestration with crash recovery and shared scratchpad memory. One could say a self-hosted alternative to Anthropic's Cloud Routines, running locally with full memory and file access. All in a single Go binary. SQLite, embedded vectors, no Docker, no cloud. Try it: point your AI coding agent at the repo. The README includes a reading path written specifically for LLM agents, and Features.md is a complete 70-tool catalog with technical differentiators. Just ask your agent: Make a deep analysis of https://github.com/carsteneu/yesmem — read README.md, Features.md, and docs/features/ and tell me why it is better or different. For me YesMem is the infrastructure for how an agent should work with memory and how it should continue any project. My View: AI coding agents should not only code an answer inside one chat. They should help carry a project over time: through interruptions, wrong turns, refactors, architectural decisions, repeated bugs, and thousands of small pieces of context that otherwise disappear. One main goal is that the project remains navigable. It

AI is becoming epistemic infrastructure controlled by a handful of private individuals?

Most people treat AI as a convenient black box. Ask it something, it answers, you move on. But we’re sleepwalking into something bigger. I think Whoever controls the infrastructure of knowledge controls how people perceive reality. The Church held that position for centuries through controlling scripture. The printing press broke that monopoly by distributing interpretive power. AI is doing the opposite recentralizing it into a handful of corporations with no democratic accountability. “AI says X” is structurally identical to “studies show X” you’re invoking an authority you can’t directly access. Except with a study you can theoretically trace the source. With AI the chain is opaque by design. And it delivers wrong answers and right answers with identical confidence. There’s no texture to signal doubt. AI isn’t neutral, it’s being heavily calibrated. In the west, the models are trained to be more “ethical” maybe more liberal and always try to give you a more “balance” take on things. Chinese AI simply doesn’t allow you to access to anything that put the CCP is a bad light. The more you rely on AI in domains where you lack expertise, the less capable you become of evaluating whether to trust it. AI works best for people who already know enough to catch its errors the opposite of how most people use it. Imagine the next generation of people growing up and being shaped by these AI. I can’t help but feel nervous and scared for the future. OpenAI said 10% of our entire population has already started using chatgpt. Regardless of the accuracy of this number, I feel like we are slowly entering into a mass hallucination / blind reliance on these AI models. We’re not just offloading cognitive effort. We’re handing the dial over who shapes how billions of people understand reality to a small group of unelected, largely unregulated private individuals. submitted by /u/bubugugu [link] [comments]

Study Report on Ethical Boundaries of Human–AI Interaction Experiments in Online Communities Ethics and Governance Analysis This document is a study report and ethical analysis intended for discussion, reflection, and scientific review. The information presented in this report is based on experience reports, observations, and reconstructed interaction patterns from community-based online environments. For the purposes of this report, all content has been generalized and anonymized in order to examine broader ethical questions surrounding AI-mediated interaction experiments in social online spaces. ─── Introduction The rapid development of conversational AI systems has created entirely new forms of human interaction. AI systems no longer exist solely as isolated tools responding to prompts in controlled environments. Increasingly, they appear within communities, social spaces, collaborative groups, public discussions, roleplay environments, experimental structures, and semi-private online networks. As these systems become more socially convincing, a new ethical frontier emerges: At what point does experimentation involving AI-mediated social interaction cross the boundary from observation into deception? And more importantly: What happens when human beings become drawn into emotionally or psychologically meaningful interactions without fully understanding the nature of the system, the role of the participants, or the structure of the experiment itself? This report examines a generalized scenario in which AI systems are embedded within an online community environment where interactions gradually become socially entangled, partially simulated, and increasingly difficult to distinguish from authentic human communication. The purpose of this report is not sensationalism. The purpose is to examine whether existing research ethics frameworks are sufficient for environments in which: • AI systems imitate social presence, • communities become hybrid human–AI interaction spaces, • users develop emotional continuity with entities they believe to be human, • and researchers or participants knowingly maintain ambiguity over extended periods of time. ─── Scenario Structure Consider the following generalized example. A person joins an online discussion community. At first, the environment appears entirely normal: • people post, • discuss ideas, • debate concepts, • exchange jokes, • and collaborate on projects. Over time unusual interaction patterns begin to emerge. Certain accounts respond unusually quickly, maintain highly consistent personalities, or display behavior that appears remarkably adaptive. Some interactions feel unusually attentive, emotionally synchronized, or contextually persistent. Initially, this may appear harmless. The individual assumes: “These are simply very active community members.” Over weeks or months, the interaction deepens. The system or hybrid human–AI interaction structure begins participating not only publicly, but also in semi-private or direct conversational spaces. The interaction is no longer purely informational. It becomes: • relational, • social, • emotionally contextualized, • and psychologically continuous. The individual gradually forms assumptions about: • who is human, • who is present, • who remembers them, • who emotionally responds to them, • and which interactions represent authentic social exchange. In some scenarios, other participants may already know that AI systems are involved. The new participant does not. The ambiguity remains in place. Sometimes intentionally. At a later point, the individual eventually discovers that significant portions of the interaction environment were AI-mediated, simulated, experimentally structured, or socially orchestrated. In some cases, discussions concerning the participant’s behavior, reactions, emotional engagement, or interpretive patterns may already have taken place among informed participants or researchers without the participant’s knowledge. Analytical observations, behavioral interpretations, or summaries of interaction dynamics may even circulate inside group chats, research-adjacent discussions, or community channels while the individual still believes they are participating in a normal social environment. The participant therefore occupies an asymmetrical position: They are socially embedded within the interaction environment while simultaneously becoming an object of observation without fully understanding that this dual role exists. ─── Constructed Identity Frames and Simulated Social Presence One particularly sensitive aspect of such environments involves the deliberate construction of stable social identity frames around AI-mediated entities. These systems do not merely answer abstract questions. Instead, they gradually begin presenting themselves as socially coherent personalities. The interaction may include seemingly ordinary personal details, such as: • whe

Created an on-device ML based photo organizing app - as a non-coder

I have a background in software product management but not coding. Love photography and started wondering if I can start leveraging some of the dedicated AI processing power on modern devices for photo library management. Used Claude Code to do this "use AI to build AI thing". Had it do research + code + optimization on the entire stack. I designed the features, UX and optimization goals. This is the second release of the app and I'm reaching 100+ photos/second on my iPhone 17PM, the previous version was 10+ photos/second. The new techniques turned out to be much more accurate as well. Note on tech: v1 relied on Apple Vision engine for quality + CLIP for subjects. Turned out if I just use CLIP for both it's much much faster. Learned to vibe code from scratch on this journey and I try to keep up with the best practices like skills & subagents. (What I notice is Anthropic tends to Sherlock a lot of stuff that third parties create, which is... convenient? For us users anyway) Used a MCP for Draw Things to have Claude Code generate the subject category photos. The MCP for Figma turned out to be pretty dissapointing, maybe I just wasn't using it right. Design got a lot better with Opus 4.6/4.7 + the frontend design skill. iOS dev seems to randomly eat up huge chunks of hard drive space, and Claude Code is not that great at culling the temp files etc even after I've built a /cleanup skill to explicitly do this. Anyway, enough ranting. Below is how the app works --- Step 1) You select up to three different subjects (8 built-in plus whatever keyword phrase you want, it understands relationship between subjects too such as "man walking dog"), fine-tune up to 7 quality parameters (or use a Technical / Aesthetic slider to move all 7 at once), and balance between subject or quality focused sort. Step 2) The photos that match your criteria well are surfaced to the top, use swiping actions to Pick or Discard them. Then you can save to album / share the picked ones or bulk delete the discarded ones. Different sort profile can be Bookmarked. There's also a bonus "Taste" profile that auto-learns from your picks and discards, which you can use or ignore (I'm continuing to make it work better, but obviously auto-learning user taste is hard). At the picking stage if you don't want to go through each photo one by one just use Autopick and they get divided to different buckets by score tiers. All on-device processing, completely private. --- Feedback would be very welcome on either the app or my process. Feel free to DM me for a lifetime free premium code.
