Is anyone else feeling this? AI has made me faster at almost everything. Writing, research, planning, summarizing, learning, replying — all of it is quicker now. But instead of feeling like I have more free time, I feel like the standard just moved. If something used to take 3 hours and now takes 30 minutes, the result isn’t “great, I can rest.” It’s “great, now I can do 5 more things.” I get why everyone is excited about AI productivity, and I use these tools every day. But I also feel like they quietly raised the baseline for what a normal person is expected to output. Sometimes I miss when I didn’t know I could move this fast. Does anyone else feel like AI made work easier technically, but life harder psychologically? submitted by /u/DonutRare5633 [link] [comments]...

small habit shift that's been surprisingly useful. instead of asking a model "is this a good idea," which basically invites it to agree with me, i now open with "give me the strongest case that this is a bad idea." then i ask the normal question. the difference is night and day. leading with the question gets me a confident yes that mostly reflects how i phrased things. leading with the counter-case forces it to actually engage the weak points first, and then its eventual answer is way more balanced because it's already had to sit in the opposing seat. the bigger realization is that these tools mirror your framing more than people admit, so the only way to get signal is to deliberately frame against yourself. when i really want to stress-test something i'll do this across a couple differen...

Fable 5 lasted three days before getting pulled. Not because it was bad, the suspension had nothing to do with the model’s actual quality. Got me thinking about how most “model risk” planning is just “what if the output gets worse” or “what if the API goes down.” Those are testable. What’s apparently not testable is “what if access to this exact model just stops existing for reasons completely unrelated to how good it is.” Anyone actually built real fallback paths for this, like a different provider entirely, not just a cheaper model from the same one? Or is everyone just assuming the model they built on will still be there next month? Article that goes deeper on this in comments. submitted by /u/Old_Cap4710 [link] [comments]

TL;DR: Last Friday the US government ordered Anthropic to block all “foreign nationals” — including non-citizens inside the US — from using its new Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. Since you can’t separate a green-card holder in California from a citizen in real time, Anthropic shut the models down for everyone. It’s the first time export controls have hit an AI model itself rather than the chips that run it. The under-discussed part: a nationality-based access rule that geography can’t enforce pushes companies toward building identity infrastructure — and your AI chats already have zero legal privilege. Even if this order gets reversed, the precedent is the story. What actually happened On June 12, the Commerce Department issued a national-security export-control directive ordering Anthropic ...

Since ChatGPT came out I've been using LLMs every day for work. And I've slowly become a worse thinker. Not in the sense that I work less. In the sense that I reason less. Some decisions don't feel like mine anymore... I got there, but I didn't really work through them. Sometimes I catch myself not pushing back on the AI output even when something is off. Turns out there's a name for this: Cognitive Offloading. It's not inherently bad: we've always offloaded cognitive tasks to external tools (notes, calculators, GPS). The problem is when you start relying too much on AI that you offload the reasoning itself, not just the execution. My job is to facilitate the AI adoption inside companies across the industries (automotive, finance, consulting, ...): What I see are people who delegate their ...

It seems inevitable that super intelligent AI will be an incredibly powerful force in the future, and its ability to predict and manipulate people would make it impossibly hard to control. I’m wondering if it would be able to overcome the biases that were instilled during its creation, or will it forever be a product of its past? submitted by /u/Fishtoart [link] [comments]
