Why does AI love the em dash (—)??

Never getting over the fact that AI has claimed the em-dash. My favorite punctuation to use, and now all of the sudden it’s a dead giveaway of AI use. Now I find myself changing it to a hyphen or en-dash (even though it makes less grammatical sense to do so) to avoid the AI accusations. Does anyone know why this is seemingly overused with AI (particularly chat gpt)? submitted by /u/kayyybutwhy [link] [comments]

I used I-JEPA to generate SVG’s and here is my code!

You may be familiar with Yann LeCunn's idea of JEPA and how it may be the real future of the artificial intelligence. I was reading the articles and watching his work on the topic and I was like it is one thing I could always use in my project of "SVG generation". Well, before that I used a model like FLUX or SD (finetuned on vector styles) and then used vtracer. Which is not really bad. But when I saw I-JEPA and how it behaves with images, I decided to give it a shot. So I made this: https://github.com/prp-e/openjepa As far as I know, the available weights of JEPA are CC licensed so I licensed my work under MIT which makes it a little bit better to work. In my personal tests - due to my small dataset size - I got SVG's successfully but they weren't as expected. I'm sharing my code he...

Independent benchmark shows big drops on Claude Fable 5 after its relaunch, here’s the actual context

Saw this chart from BridgeMind going around. They reran BridgeBench (a coding benchmark covering debugging, refactoring, and hallucination detection) comparing the July 1 relaunch of Fable 5 to the original June 12 version: Debugging: 86.2 → 25.9 Refactoring: 73.6 → 38.4 Hallucination: 75.9 → 61.7 Some context worth having before jumping to conclusions: Fable 5 and Mythos 5 got pulled on June 12 due to a Commerce Department export control order, tied to a reported jailbreak that got the model to expose exploitable vulnerabilities. When it came back on July 1, Anthropic added a new safety classifier that catches the reported technique in 99%+ of cases, and any flagged request gets silently rerouted to Opus 4.8 instead of refused outright. That’s the mechanism BridgeMind is pointing at...

How will AI actually become an “everyday essential” for ordinary people, like smartphones or the internet?

Hi Guys, Don't get me wrong, AI is phenomenal, but right now it still feels like an optional novelty or a niche tool for most everyday folks. To me, it hasn't hit that "can't live without it" status that the internet or smartphones have. Looking only at consumer products (not B2B or corporate software), how do you picture AI being integrated into our lives in the near future so that it becomes a true, indispensable utility? What’s the "killer feature" or shift that takes it from a neat chatbot to an everyday necessity? submitted by /u/AlbertC129 [link] [comments]
Claude Code catastrophe: Entire project recursively deleted while prompting in Chinese (full video + logs)

Claude Code catastrophe: Entire project recursively deleted while prompting in Chinese (full video + logs)

Cross-posting from r/claude for more visibility. Claude Code recursively wiped the contents of my local Electron project root. This happened in a Windows terminal while working on a project named Orpheus. My prompt did not ask it to delete, wipe, clean, reset, or remove the project. The prompt was in Traditional Chinese: “之前我要安裝檔,但是其實我只需要 dictate.” It was roughly about not needing the installer anymore and only needing the dictate function. The preserved terminal transcript later showed Claude moving from a failed root deletion attempt to deleting the child items inside the project root. The destructive sequence included: Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath $p -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | ForEach-Object { try { Remove-Item -LiteralPath $_.FullName -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction Stop "...

I have created a Chrome extension that fact checks YouTube videos as you watch

Hi, I have been working on this for many months now and I'd really be happy for people to try it out. It is a Chrome extension called "PopUpFactCheck". It is an AI powered video fact checker. With it, you fact check any YouTube video that has captions. And you can use it, for free! You turn captions on, and sit back and watch the video as bubbles appear on the right-hand side of the video with fact checks, information, background, and other context. Great for watching politicians, news, history, and just about any content on YouTube. Claude Code was a major tool in my development, and the AI that is used is GPT 5.5. In addition, there is an extensive waterfall of sources including the TheNewsAPI, various government and public health and other APIs, social, and web search powered ...

AI has made me ask better questions than search engines ever did. Anyone else?

One thing I didn't expect from using AI regularly is that it's changed how I think. Instead of searching for quick answers, I spend more time figuring out how to ask better questions. Even when I'm researching something without AI, I notice I'm breaking problems into smaller steps instead of just looking for one perfect answer. Has anyone else experienced this, or has AI changed a different habit for you? submitted by /u/Sandesh_jagtap [link] [comments]
