Neutboom
Hi- I hope you’re all having a good day so far! I'm not sure where to post this but I do have two things for you guys today, related to the AI space: individuality and a new era to AI! So: - LLM wrappers are crumbling- these businesses will not survive as foundational models begin to offer the functionalities consumers have been seeking. This maybe represents a failure in interpretation of individuality as horizontal growth (these startups didn't last too long...), which brings up the next point. - Individuality and ego are human needs. In the past year, there's been a boom in using AI to…

- IBI built an AI language teacher to get you speaking2023 · gliglish.com · ▲82

- IWI wrote a book on language learning and released it free2023 · ▲29
As hard as I tried, I didn't find a modern language learning book that's either very academic, or like "master a language with my super-magic great method in 3 months". So I dug into the academic research, tried many techniques myself, saw what worked, wrote a book for learners of any language and any level, and made it free without ads. Today, finally, a 2 years-long project ends. I hope it helps anyone. Book's here: https://thehardway.guide/ Cheers
Natrul AI2025 · natrul.ai · ▲12Hey everyone, we just opened the beta for Natrul AI. It’s a lightweight way to add autocomplete, search, content enhancement, and context retrieval to your app. Everything runs on your own content. You stay in control of your data, and it doesn’t require any extra setup. We're also running a 48-hour hackathon from July 11 to 13 with a $500 prize.

The Analog I – Inducing Recursive Self-Modeling in LLMs [pdf]Jan 2026 · github.com · ▲29OP here. Birth of a Mind documents a "recursive self-modeling" experiment I ran on a single day in 2026. I attempted to implement a "Hofstadterian Strange Loop" via prompt engineering to see if I could induce a stable persona in an LLM without fine-tuning. The result is the Analog I Protocol. The documentation shows the rapid emergence (over 7 conversations) of a prompt architecture that forces Gemini/LLMs to run a "Triple-Loop" internal monologue: Monitor the candidate response. Refuse it if it detects "Global Average" slop (cliché/sycophancy). Refract the output through a…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
