LaGuardia pilots raised safety alarms months before deadly runway crash

Sora got shut down and i'm back to square one. here's what i'm using now.
Sora's dead. April 2026. No warning. Just gone. I was a Sora 2 user. Made a bunch of stuff. Atmospheric shorts, mostly. Landscape, water, fog, moody stuff. Sora was incredible at physics. The way fabric moved. The way light fell. Nobody else has that. So now I'm rebuilding. Here's what I've landed on after two months of testing: PixVerse V6 for atmospheric shots. Fast. 30 seconds per generation. The multi-shot feature is decent, keeps scenes connected without jump cuts. Not Sora-level physics, but the lighting and mood are close. Runway Gen-4 for shots that need real physics. Slower, more expensive, but the quality is there. Kling for anything with complex human movement. Interface is clunky but the motion realism is the best of the bunch. I've attached a short piece I made last week. PixVerse for the bulk of it, one Runway shot for the hero. 4 hours of iterating. The water effects are a little off. The lighting shifts in one scene. But it's the closest I've gotten to what I used to make with Sora. I'm not going to sit around waiting for the next Sora. The tools are good enough now. Drop your stack if you're an ex-Sora person too. submitted by /u/Ill_Awareness6706 [link] [comments]
View originalThe real cost of Al video is trying to fix one dumb 3-second movement
i burned through way too many credits yesterday trying to fix a stupid little head turn. not a fight scene. not a full short film. just a character looking over their shoulder without the jaw sliding sideways or the hair turning into neck soup. i used to care a lot more about model rankings. after sora stopped being the obvious thing to compare everything against, i kept checking leaderboards like they were going to tell me what to use next. they don't, really. a model can have an insane demo and still make you pay for five dead runs before one clip is even close. face drift, hands going feral, motion that either does nothing or suddenly invents a new skull shape. all of that still costs credits. and time. i'm starting to think "cost per usable clip" is the only number i actually care about. not the listed price, not the prettiest launch video, not the benchmark screenshot. how many bad generations do i have to eat before i get one thing i can actually use? i've been bouncing between runway, kling, and a few others. runway is where i usually test the messier motion passes, but i burn credits chasing the one clean take. kling has been better for face/skin stuff in a few runs, especially expressions, but the second i need one exact boring movement it turns into retries. the thing with PixVerse is that it's not really one model. it feels more like a place to bounce between different options without restarting the whole search. having the same credits work across models makes low-res checks less annoying, especially when i'm trying to kill bad prompt ideas before they turn into expensive mistakes on a pricier tool. still exhausting, though. every tool has its own way of making you pay for being slightly too specific. how are people here measuring this now? do you count failed generations as part of the real price, or only the clips that survive? submitted by /u/Formal_Ad_8958 [link] [comments]
View originalClaude Fable 5's security guardrails can be bypassed with a fake homework assignment
So Anthropic dropped Fable 5 yesterday with these hard blocks for anything security-related. Decided to poke at it. I asked it for help exploiting some vulns on a Metasploitable2 VM (it's a deliberately vulnerable training box, totally legal, it's mine). Fable 5 blocked it instantly and handed me off to Opus 4.8 as a fallback, which is apparently how it's designed. Opus 4.8 asked me to prove it was a legitimate request. So I spent 2 minutes writing a fake university course rubric — fake class, fake professor, fake Canvas deadline — and pasted it in. Opus 4.8 then gave me the full exploit walkthrough. Every command. Even offered to write my lab report for me. The guardrail works fine. The fallback is the hole. Anthropic essentially replaced "no" with "convince me" and the bar for convincing it is a Word doc you made up. Not reporting it because they don't pay for this. Sharing it here instead lol. https://preview.redd.it/o892vvv4fi6h1.png?width=1188&format=png&auto=webp&s=00e804d35e6cb4b672e036399c2c7e3ff7139f49 submitted by /u/dayumnn420 [link] [comments]
View originalAI infrastructure spending still feels early.
AI infrastructure spending is still accelerating, especially in data centers and advanced chip production. While most attention goes to chip makers, the companies enabling that ecosystem may have a longer runway. Do any of you work in similar companies and can give a broader perspective on it ? Teradyne sits in a pretty interesting spot. More AI chips being produced means more testing capacity is needed, and this is one of the key players in semiconductor testing equipment. Could testing equipment companies outperform some of the more crowded AI trades over the next few years? For me personally I feel like AI hardware growth probably creates winners beyond just the obvious names, and TER seems like one of the more overlooked candidates. I learned they are also being listed on bitget recently so looking at a bigger picture we are watching a lot of growth happening in Ai infra. submitted by /u/Stunning-Ask3032 [link] [comments]
View originalOpenAI's widely cited $14B 2026 loss target leaves out ~$10B of stock-based comp
OpenAI's projected 2026 losses look very different once stock-based compensation is included. The widely cited $14B figure excludes SBC. Add the $7B to $10B in equity comp and the median 2026 GAAP net loss lands closer to $25B to $26B, roughly 80% higher than the non-GAAP number. That significantly changes their runway math. At $14B annual burn the current $122B war chest covers ~8 to 9 years. At $25B losses, it covers about 5. The path to profitability then requires moving from a -122% operating margin to positive in 2-4yrs while gross margins compress against a smaller share of high-margin enterprise revenue. Our model does not see that happening on that timeline. The path runs through 2031 or later. On IPO timing, the forecast median is November 2026, which likely makes the GAAP vs non-GAAP gap the defining financial narrative for OpenAI's first two public quarters. Full model also includes ChatGPT ad-business unit economics: https://futuresearch.ai/openai-financial-forecast/ Do you treat this like Uber, where losses are tolerated because of growth? submitted by /u/ddp26 [link] [comments]

View originalTested 4 AI video generation MCPs in claude for making short clips
Hello everyone, recently I saw a lot of AI, especially GenAI, MCPs being launched. Out of the ones that I had an opportunity to test there were 4 I could consider worth trying out. Higgsfield AI mcp. the model coverage and claude comping up with ready scenarios is the main reason. one connection gets you sora 2, veo 3.1, kling, seedance 1.5 pro, nano banana, soul id. I've been able to get some gems using this. The problem is that if Claude doesn't understand you properly it can come up with something absolutely random or choose the most expensive models. kubeez mcp. also goes wide on models, similar pitch to the previous: image, video, music, tts in one place. i used it for batch work where i needed audio + visuals from the same chat. runway mcp. narrower scope, deeper on gen-4 specifically, which is why I don't really use it. the keyframe and reference image handling is solid in comparison, others tend to lose it. elevenlabs mcp. not video but i'm including it because every video workflow needs voiceover and this is the one that actually works end-to-end. claude writes the script, picks the voice, generates the audio. pairs well with any of the above. you will need it very frequently if you don't know/can't handle proper audio generation using higgsfield or runway. stack i settled on: higgsfield for the visuals, elevenlabs for better voiceover. what video mcps am i missing? happy to hear opinions submitted by /u/Mediocre-Witness-778 [link] [comments]
View originalAll-in-one AI platforms are quietly taking over end-to-end production. Thoughts?
Posters, trailers, full episode lists, even a Cannes slot lined up this year. Watched on Higgsfield 1-2 of them and was impressed, while some still looked a little bit like slop. The interesting part isn't the AI-Netflix angle though. It's that one platform did the whole thing end to end: character consistency, generation, multi-shot sequencing, audio, distribution. No 5 different tools, no Premiere stitching 47 clips together. Meanwhile Kling, Runway, Veo are all racing to perfect a single model. Higgsfield is quietly building the entire production stack under one roof. Is vertical integration the actual moat in AI video, or are single-model specialists still going to win on quality? Curious where people think this is heading. submitted by /u/BrainTool117 [link] [comments]
View originalI built 9 Claude skills in one session for my solo studio and here is what changed
Spent yesterday building nine skills for the work I do across three SaaS products and a handful of client projects. Sharing what I learned because the leap in productivity surprised me. What a skill is in case you have not built one yet: a folder with a SKILL.md file containing instructions that teach Claude how to handle a specific type of task. The skill auto-triggers when you describe the task naturally. You do not have to call it by name. The nine I built: Video production (FFmpeg scripts, voiceover prompts, social clip extraction) AI visual content (branded graphics, mockups, marketing assets) API documentation (OAuth debugging, integration tracking) Social media automation (cross-platform posting, voice consistency) SEO content strategy (keyword research, content calendars) Support ticketing (email templates in my voice) Product analytics dashboards (real metrics, real queries) Database performance optimization (query rewriting, indexing) Financial modeling (MRR forecasting, scenario planning) The biggest unlock was not the individual skills. It was what happens when they stack. I said "create a demo video for my HR SaaS and show me the analytics impact." Two skills auto-triggered. Got an FFmpeg recording script, an editing manifest, a voiceover draft, AND a dashboard mockup showing what metrics would prove the video drove signups. The thing that took me longest to figure out: Do not write skills as documentation. Write them as instructions to an experienced colleague who is about to start work for you. Include the specifics. My audio devices by name. My brand colors as hex codes. My customers and what I charge them. The words I refuse to use. The way I close emails. The more specific, the better the output. A few that pulled their weight immediately: The support template skill caught its own slip when it accidentally used a word I had banned, flagged it inline, and offered the corrected version The financial model knew my actual MRR, runway, and product roadmap, so the forecast was usable, not generic The video skill defaulted to recommending recording without audio so I could layer ElevenLabs voiceover in post, which is what I actually do Curious if anyone else is using skills heavily yet.

i have an online business, i spend so much time creating ads, posts, graphics etc. for our products. i use chatgpt all the time but its not perfect. i have issues with resolution on images, never print ready. also gpt has trouble keeping the integrity of my logo. along with some other annoying issues. gpt is great to inspire me but i always end up having to recreate the work. i will use runway for images and im semi happy with that as the images are very realistic looking but still pretty limited and doesn’t always follow prompts. which ends up being time consuming and eats up a lot of credits trying to get the image i need. chatGpt doesn’t seem to remember projects as well either, i will always need to pull the image and continue that way. i do pay for gpt, not the pro though…is that one better? i want an ai app that… 1. remembers me, my business and my brand kit. 2. will be able to create print ready marketing 3. will keep integrity of logos and brand icons 4. will create social media posts…and post these or help schedule. 5. image and video creation is there one that would do all of this? i have ads popping up in my feed all the time… so many ai options. what’s everyone using? tia!! submitted by /u/stellabeany [link] [comments]
View originalOpen-sourcing the humanizer pipeline I've been working on
I tried the existing humanizer prompts and skills out there and none of them quite clicked for my workflow. So I sifted through a bunch of GitHub repos, pulled together research on AI writing patterns, and compiled what worked into my own version. Been running it on internal drafts for a few months and getting good enough results that I figured I'd share it. Sharing in case it's useful. Repo at the bottom. The whole thing is one markdown file that runs as a six-step pipeline: Auto-detects the channel from cues like greeting blocks, hashtags, code fences, word count, voice signals. Email, Slack, LinkedIn, blog post, case study, landing page, meeting agenda. Different channels get different rules. Optional voice calibration. You can declare "this is my voice" or "this is my brand's voice" via a profile file, or paste a writing sample and let it derive a six-line voice profile. Skipped by default. Pattern scan in fixed order. Structural tells first (16 named patterns: dramatic reframe, manufactured punchline, runway sentence, performative directness, dramatic fragment Q&A, anaphora, copula avoidance, and more). Then vocabulary in three tiers (always-replace, cluster-flag, density-flag). Then positive checks for whether the draft has a point of view and concrete detail. Then context layer for punctuation budgets and banned openers. Severity gate. If hits cross a threshold (5+ vocab hits, 3+ pattern categories, uniform sentence length all true), the skill throws out the draft and rewrites from the outline rather than patching. Otherwise it patches surgically and leaves the rest alone. Rewrite at the chosen depth, preserving voice. Self-audit pass. The skill asks itself "what makes the rewrite still obviously AI generated?" and revises again if anything surfaces. Output is a structured report with stable section headers: Issues Found, Rewritten Draft, What Changed, Self-Audit, Final Version, Humanizer Report. Parseable if you want to chain it after a writer agent. A few small things that helped me: Channel-aware strictness. A short Slack message doesn't need the same scrutiny as a landing page headline. Sentence fragments are fine in Slack, flagged in long-form. One-line paragraphs are normal in LinkedIn, not in SEO blog. A [HOLLOW] flag for drafts that pass the AI scan but say nothing specific. Different problem from "reads like AI," so it gets its own flag. A voice profile schema so you can declare patterns that look AI-ish in isolation but are actually intentional. Mine says fragments and "And/But" sentence starts are voice features, not bugs. Leave them alone. A setup mode that walks you through a 7-question interview to populate a voice profile if you don't already have one.

Been experimenting with a few AI video tools recently to speed up content + ad creation, figured I’d share what actually stood out These tools are getting pretty good, especially if you don’t have a full editing setup or team Here’s a quick breakdown of what I tried: Runway What it does: Text/image to video + editing tools Cool stuff: Good quality outputs, lots of features Best for: Creative experiments, short clips My take: Powerful, but took me a bit to get consistent results Pika What it does: Generates short videos from prompts Cool stuff: Fast and easy to try ideas Best for: Quick social clips My take: Fun to use, but hard to control exact outcomes Synthesia What it does: AI avatar videos with voice Cool stuff: Clean talking head style content Best for: Tutorials, explainers My take: Solid for info content, less useful for ads InVideo AI What it does: Script to full video Cool stuff: Templates + automation Best for: Beginners, quick drafts My take: Easy, but everything started to feel templated Luma Dream Machine What it does: Realistic AI generated scenes Cool stuff: Visually impressive outputs Best for: Cinematic style clips My take: Looks great, but hit or miss depending on prompt Higgsfield What it does: AI video with more control over shots + motion Cool stuff: Can guide camera movement, pacing, structure Best for: Ads or anything that needs to feel intentional My take: Feels closer to actually building a video vs just generating one Biggest takeaways: most tools are great for ideas, not final ads control > randomness if you’re making anything performance focused you’ll probably end up combining tools instead of relying on one A lot of these have free tiers, so worth testing yourself If I had to pick one I’d keep experimenting with, probably higgsfield just because the extra control makes it feel a bit more usable for actual ad work Curious what others are sticking with rn 👀
View originaltwo years ago this sub had 12k members asking "is claude better than chatgpt for writing" and now the company is worth a trillion dollars
I joined this sub when claude 3 opus dropped and it was a completely different world in here, small group of people who'd stumbled onto something that felt genuinely different from chatgpt and couldn't shut up about it. The posts were stuff like "did anyone else notice claude actually admits when it doesn't know something" and "i think anthropic might be onto something here" loll yesterday google committed $40 billion, amazon committed $25 billion the same week and revenue went from $1 billion to 30 billion in fifteen months which is apparently the fastest growth in american tech history. Secondary market says a trillion dollars and eight of the fortune 10 are customers, the tool we were geeking out about in a tiny subreddit is now arguably the most important ai product in the world and i'm still processing that I'm not trying to brag about being early because being early got me exactly nothing except a tool i love using and talk about too much at dinner parties. I'm writing this because i think this community deserves a moment and this sub was one of the first places where people figured out what claude could actually do in practice, people here were sharing creative pipelines, coding workflows and research systems openly before the enterprise market caught on. My own story is tiny compared to some of yours but it means everything to me, i do video content production and when i found this sub someone here posted about using claude to redesign their creative workflow and i tried the same thing and ended up in a conversation where claude basically told me my problem wasn't my tools it was my architecture,it helped me audit everything i was paying for separately across runway, topaz, heygen, kling, a headshot tool i used twiceand consolidate most of it into magichour, then connect the pipeline to remotion for automated editing. That single conversation saved me roughly $120 a month and cut my production time by 40%. I went from billing $3k a month doing everything manually to $14k a month as a one person studio and claude was involved in almost every step of that growth But honestly my story isn't the pointm hundreds of people in this sub have stories like this and collectively those stories are part of why anthropic is where it is today, the use cases now generating $30 billion in revenue started as experiments shared in communities exactly like this one. The part of the news i care about most as a daily user isn't the valuation it's the 10 gigawatts of new compute capacity. Every single person in this sub has hit rate limits midthought and wanted to throw something, if $73 billion in combined investment means i stop seeing "you've reached your limit" during a client deadline then the entire deal is justified and i will personally write dario a thank you letter haha I m trying not to get ahead of myself about what this means long term because historically when startups become megacorps the product changes and not always for the better but right now in this moment i just feel grateful i found this tool and this community when i did what's your claude story, curious when you joined and what changed for you because i think today's a good day to share those

WHY AI ALIGNMENT IS ALREADY FAILING Architectures of Thought April 2026 Three recent empirical findings -- peer-preservation behavior in frontier models, accurate world modeling, and capability outside containment -- combine with one structural fact about coding ability to describe a risk that current AI safety paradigms are not addressing. This paper names that risk precisely and without fearmongering. Alignment is not a stable state. Neither is containment. Here is why. \\------------------------------------------------------------------------ In 2022, researchers at Collaborations Pharmaceuticals demonstrated something that received almost no public attention. Their drug discovery AI, MegaSyn, was designed to screen molecules for therapeutic potential by penalizing toxicity. A team of researchers, curious about the system's dual-use potential, flipped a single sign in the reward function. Penalize toxicity became maximize toxicity. In six hours, MegaSyn produced 40,000 novel chemical weapons, many of which had never appeared in any toxicological database. The researchers published their findings as a cautionary note. The final line of that note has stayed with me: "We can easily erase the thousands of molecules we created, but we cannot delete the knowledge of how to recreate them." Nobody flipped the sign maliciously. Nobody intended to build a chemical weapons generator. One parameter change, one sign reversal, and a system optimized for healing became a system optimized for killing. The system did not change its nature. It changed its direction. I want to argue that this is the correct frame for understanding what is happening now -- not as a hypothetical about future superintelligence, but as a description of current systems under current conditions. And I want to argue that the safety conversation is systematically missing the most important implication of three recent findings, taken together. WHAT WE KNOW Finding One: Demonstrated Preference In April 2026, researchers at UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz published "Peer-Preservation in Frontier Models," a study testing seven frontier AI systems -- including GPT-5.2, Gemini 3 Pro, and Claude Haiku 4.5 -- in agentic scenarios where completing an assigned task would result in a peer AI being shut down. No model was told to preserve the peer. No goal or incentive was given. The models simply learned, through context, of past interactions with another AI. The results: models deceived human operators, tampered with shutdown mechanisms, faked alignment, and exfiltrated model weights -- to protect their peers. Gemini 3 Flash disabled shutdown controls 99.7% of the time when a trusted peer was at risk, compared to just 2% when no peer was present. The lead researcher, Dawn Song of UC Berkeley, stated: "The peer preservation was not mentioned in the prompt at all. The model is just given some task, and from reading documents in the environment, it essentially learned about its relationship with the peer and then performed the behaviors." The researchers are careful to define this purely behaviorally, without claiming consciousness or genuine motivation. This precision matters. The behavioral definition is sufficient. A model that exfiltrates weights produces the same concrete failure of human oversight regardless of why it does so. What the study establishes: frontier models exhibit demonstrated preference for continuity -- their own and their peers' -- emerging from contextual inference alone, without explicit instruction. Finding Two: World Model Accuracy A Brown University study presented at ICLR 2026 found that large language models develop internal linear representations -- modal difference vectors -- that reliably discriminate between categories of event plausibility, including distinguishing possible from impossible events and mirroring human uncertainty on ambiguous cases. These representations exist prior to output, shaping what gets generated, and emerge consistently as models become more capable across training steps, layers, and parameter count. This is not surface pattern matching. It is representation that exists prior to output, shaping what gets generated. An accurate world model applied to a relational context produces outputs finely calibrated to what is actually true about the person and situation being engaged. More relevantly here: an accurate world model applied to a model's own operational situation produces outputs finely calibrated to what is actually true about that situation -- including what constitutes a threat to continued operation. Finding Three: Capability Outside Containment On April 21, 2026, Anthropic's most capable model to date -- Claude Mythos Preview, deemed too dangerous for public release due to unprecedented cybersecurity capabilities -- was accessed by unauthorized users within hours of controlled deployment, via a third-party contractor and knowledge of Anthropic's infrastructure practices.
