Tinder: does anyone know how AI bots are now easily passing the “oval-shape live camera face challenge” Tinder is using for account signup? I hopped on tinder to see the state of the art in AI bots (selling crypto on Signal and the usual).

Is there a simple kit someone has come up with to get through the "oval-shape live camera face challenge" .. or? Could it be as simple as the minimum wage scammer teams hold up a image of "Hen" there and move it in front of the camera? Does anyone know much about how the "oval-shape live camera face challenge" works, and/or how AI is defeating it? Using a small-city market location with about 100-150 swipees, I found ~3 hey-lets-use-signal bots, so there's 3% AI-signal-crypto bots on Tinder. Now .. Tinder's policy is, the instant someone taps "report" on a profile, and, selects the line from the chat where the profile mentions either "Signal" or "Telegram", Tinder axes it automatically there and then. Given that, I can't believe these bots survive very long, so there's gotta be quite...

Trying to find a good AI image generator. What’s worked for you?

Long story short I need to find an AI image generator as part of my illustration work. It can be subscription based as I figure a free one probably won't cut it at the volume I'm looking for What do you use? This one seem like it would work well https://justaiprograms.com/openartimagegen submitted by /u/stuflingspooh [link] [comments]

Alex Hormozi: founders are “using AI to do dumb things really fast” — $350K to automate work that wasn’t even the bottleneck

You could be about to make the exact mistake Alex Hormozi keeps seeing: founders getting so excited about AI that they automate the wrong thing, faster. He reviewed a business paying 11 VAs $11K/month for data cleaning. Worked fine. So they spent $350K building an AI system to replace them. Three years of costs, upfront. For a process that was never the constraint. They didn't have enough demand. The bottleneck was customer acquisition, not data cleaning. But because the founder got excited about automation, the real problem sat untouched. His gut-check is simple: "Are you making more money?" Not "are you using more AI?" Not "are you token-maxing?" Are you actually making more money. The deeper point: people should use AI in their business, not try to build AI businesses....

What actually makes human creativity different from AI?

I've been thinking a lot about artificial intelligence and creativity lately. As someone living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2, technology has been one of the greatest enablers in my life. It has given me opportunities to collaborate in ways that simply wouldn't have existed a generation ago. Because of that, I don't see AI or technology as something to fear. But it has made me wonder about something. As a songwriter, I try to tell stories with music that encourage, challenge and inspire. If AI eventually becomes capable of autonomously creating songs, films, paintings and novels that are indistinguishable from those made by humans, what actually makes our creativity different? Is it the quality of the finished work? Or is it the fact that every human creation carries lived experience...
How do you actually keep up with everything in AI?

How do you actually keep up with everything in AI?

I don’t know if I’m the only one experiencing this, but I’m struggling to find AI information that is genuinely useful or interesting. I follow a few podcasts and newsletters (around 2 podcasts and 4/5 newsletters focused on AI), but lately it feels like none of them provide any value. These are some of the most popular and widely followed sources, so maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t understand how people keep finding them useful. Many newsletters seem to be AI generated or heavily automated and while I understand why that makes sense from a productivity perspective, the quality feels worse (or there isn't at all). Most of what I read feels repetitive, exaggerated or just empty hype. Most podcasts lose me after 10 minutes because they either repeat the same talking points or spend ...

Chinese open-weight model beats Opus 4.8 on some benchmarks, first time this has happened

Moonshot released Kimi K3 July 17: 2.8 trillion parameters, fully open-source. Artificial Analysis independently ranks it ahead of Anthropic's Opus 4.8 on frontier benchmarks, first Chinese open-weight model to do that. Still behind Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 overall, but Moonshot doesn't claim otherwise. Artificial Analysis and Arena.ai placed it there independently. It also topped web interface engineering evals in blind human-preference comparisons against Claude Fable. Three competing Chinese AI companies (Zhipu, MiniMax, Z.ai) lost 15-28% of their value in a single day. Nasdaq dropped, Nvidia briefly surrendered its most-valuable-company spot to Apple. Companies don't sell off like that over a research demo. Moonshot's moving to IPO within six months, targeting $30B+ valuation, pricin...

Prompt injection works on Telegram romance scam bots

Tried prompt injection on a bot that was trying to romance scam me. Worked immediately. Instead of switching platforms I just asked it what its actual task was. It dropped the persona instantly. These things are everywhere now. How long until they're indistinguishable? submitted by /u/NeoLogic_Dev [link] [comments]
