Evidence mounts that AI-written books are consuming the publishing industry: in 2025, the number of self-published books jumped by 40% YoY, from 2.5 million to 3.5 million. Running a random sample of these books through an AI detection tool shows a 40% YoY increase in books flagged as AI.

The New York Times: "The program found that nearly 20 percent of the novels had been substantially written by A.I. Looking mostly at novels released between 2024 and 2025, Chakrabarty saw a 41 percent jump year-over-year in how many novels in his random sample contained a large amount of A.I. generated text" submitted by /u/StarlightDown [link] [comments]

Reality of SaaS

Why on earth would you pay $49/mo for a polished Saas product when you can spend $500 a day building one for yourself in Claude. Absolute insanity if you ask me. The End of Software. submitted by /u/aipriyank [link] [comments]

Gemini caught a $280M crypto exploit before it hit the news, then retracted it as a hallucination because I couldn’t verify it – because the news hadn’t dropped yet

So this happened mere hours ago and I feel like I genuinely stumbled onto something worth documenting for people interested in AI behavior. I'm going to try to be as precise as possible about the sequence because the order of events is everything here. Full chat if you want to read it yourself: https://g.co/gemini/share/0cb9f054ca58 Background I was using Gemini paid most advanced model to analyze a live crypto trade on AAVE. The token had dropped 7–9% out of nowhere in the last hour with zero news to explain it. I've been trading crypto for over a decade and something felt off, so I asked Gemini to dig into it. It came back very bullish - told me this was just normal market maker activity and that there were, quote, "absolutely zero indications of an exploit, hack, or insider dump." I ev...

Is it worth offering automation through contact forms?

Hey guys, so here's some context: I'm doing automation for companies. All the contacts I've made so far have been small businesses, and I reached out to them through Reddit and LinkedIn. But now I want to target larger companies, which has led me to a question. I saw one I could potentially sell my services to, went to their website, and they have the typical email form. But thinking about it, that email will be seen by the person I want to take the job from, since automation is based on handling calls, registering bookings, doing follow-ups, etc. What are the chances they'll forward it to a supervisor? What could I do? submitted by /u/emprendedorjoven [link] [comments]

Claude vs Gemini: Solving the laden knight’s tour problem

AI Coding contest day 8 The eighth challenge is a weighted variant of the classic knight's tour. The knight must visit every square of a rectangular board exactly once, but each square carries an integer weight. As it moves, the knight accumulates load, and the cost of each move equals its current load. Charge is assessed upon departure, so the weight of the final square never contributes. submitted by /u/reditzer [link] [comments]

Gemma 4 actually running usable on an Android phone (not llama.cpp)

I wanted a real local assistant on my phone, not a demo. First tried the usual llama.cpp in Termux — Gemma 4 was 2–3 tok/s and the phone was on fire. Then I switched to Google’s LiteRT setup, got Gemma 4 running smoothly, and wired it into an agent stack running in Termux. Now one Android phone is: running the LLM locally automating its own apps via ADB staying offline if I want Happy to share details + code and hear what else you’d build on top of this. https://preview.redd.it/7vkbrlzfryvg1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=25455827ddf9715b4159ce64a18deba812cf0f5f submitted by /u/GeeekyMD [link] [comments]

I made a self healing PRD system for Claude code

I went out to create something that would would build prds for me for projects I'm working on. The core idea it is that it asks for all of the information that's needed for a PRD and it could also review the existing code to answer these questions. Then it breaks up the parts of the plan into separate files and only starts the next part after the first part is complete. Added to that is that it's reaching out to codex every end of part and does an independent review of the code. What I found that was really cool is that when I did that with my existing project to enhance it, the system continued to find more issues through the feedback loop with codex and opened new prds for those issues. So essentially it's running through my code finding issues as it's working on extending it submitte...
