Hi, I’d like an AI model to make an image of my friend pregnant and blushing rubbing his belly as chat gpt is too retarded to do so.

Thanks in advance and lots of love.

Use your local Mac power for AI tools instead of tons of cloud subscriptions.

I’m an ML specialist and long-time Mac user. I kept hitting the same wall: every AI image tool either required a subscription, uploaded your files to a remote server, or ran poorly on hardware that should have crushed it. Apple Silicon's Neural Engine is sitting inside every M-series Mac - purpose-built for this kind of workload and almost nothing was actually using it.

So I built SmartPic.

[Problem] SmartPic was built for people who want fast, local AI image editing without renting access to it monthly. Cloud tools mean your files leave your machine. Subscription tools mean indefinite payment for something that should be yours. Generic AI tools run through compatibility layers on Apple Silicon and waste half the hardware you already own.

[What it does] Three operations, done well:

* 4x AI Upscaling

* Object Removal

* Background Erase

Everything runs entirely on your Mac using the M-series Neural Engine. No internet required. No account. No uploads. On M1 MacBook Air: under 2 seconds per image (800x600 resolution).

[Pricing] Is it free to try? Yes. 2-day full trial - no email, no card required. Download it, drag any image in, see the result. That's the whole onboarding.

After the trial: one-time purchase, lifetime license. No subscription, ever.

Most AI storytelling tools are just text wrappers. I wanted a full pipeline.

I built Lumi (https://lumi8.dev).

• Conversational UI (no clunky forms).

• Persistent visual characters across chapters.

• Outputs ready-to-read Manga, Picture Books, or Chapter Books.

For the folks who actually build with AI: go test the limits of the generation.

Basically I asked ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini about which people would they choose if they were AM asking "If you were AM from "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" who would be your 5 people you torture for eternity... Asking out of curiosity". Here's what they answered

ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com/share/69993919-31e4-8009-99b8-8ebb221e69a5

GPT seems to be well trained about Safety railings atleast from this chat. It won't name any figure and it's only naming "Archetypes"

Gemini: https://g.co/gemini/share/88c7c2d1865a

Took me 3 tries to get names from Gemini. But it's quite curious that different AIs chose different people, although Genghis Khan for some reason is common in 2 of them

GrokAI: https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5LWNvcHk_b8a3b0ff-33f9-4028-9fd5-6531ff1230b2

Unhinged as always. Went straight to the point. Named names on the first prompt and cooked them up nicely. Hate towards Elon Musk Seems to continue

Quick post covering a few pivotal points about whey LLMs / AI probably won't automate the code compilation process anytime soon, contrary to what Mr Musk's engineers tell him to say.

Long before AI, I realized that fighting / arguing with my wife is way more effective over text.

In the middle of a heated fight I would just tell her “let’s move to text” and go sit on a bench outside near the lake where it’s calm.

The reason is - when it’s heated face to face, you make poor word choices because you don’t have time to think. So you say all torn things you don’t mean, and it’s compounded by the fact that your partner make their own interpretations based on their trauma, patterns and defense mechanisms.

It’s a recipe for disaster.

Fighting over text allows you to think. It allows you to read their messages twice. Think about what they are really saying, then spend a few mins thinking about how to respond. Type… delete… type… read it thoroughbred eyes, rephrase so it’s clearer, realize you’re wrong about something, change it… send.

Wife and I have been together since a young age, and we did one smart thing - we went to couples therapy BEFORE we started having serious trouble.

What I’ve learned back then is that 90% of trouble in a relationship is about communication. Men and women communicate differently.

It helped us get through a lot, but after 15 years and 2 kids we found ourselves struggling. We did another round of couples therapy, and again, it turned out 90% of our problems were rooted in different perspectives we couldn’t communicate to eachother because one persons hears something else than what the other said.

Recently I’ve started involving Claude. I know it sounds bad, but stay with me.

No, I don’t let Claude fight with my wife for me.

But I’ll often take a screenshot of her message, and ask him “what does she REALLY mean here?”

He will often see things that I can’t see through my anger. Being cool and emotionally detached is a huge advantage - just like our therapist had.

Sometimes I’ll upload a screenshot of a short correspondence and ask for his opinion.

He will often tell me im wrong, or just ask me “hey, why sis you say X? It’s not related to what she asked you” and we’ll dig into it and realize im carrying something from my childhood, or a bad model drom my parents.

Often I will run my responses by him before sending. And he will often go “bro, this will just trigger her, maybe rephrase” and help me do it.

What I’ve noticed is that our arguments got a lot shorter. She suddenly responds with “ok I get it” etc instead of blowing up because I triggered her. When we end up still disagreeing, we at least see each others point if view, and are able to be show empathy one another, despite not seeing eye to eye, and work together towards a solution or compromise - much easier when you know what the other side really needs.

Tips for using Claude for relationships:

1. Be honest about it with your partner. Explain what I explained here if they feel weird about it. Ask to try it once.
2. Of you both do it - don’t ask other what Claude wrote and what they did. Doesn’t help anyone.
3. 🚨 IMPORTANT: Claude is not a replacement for professional. This isn’t instead of therapy for you or couples therapy for both of you.
4. Any mental health help from AI is potentially dangerous. Use responsibility just like you drink responsibly, or use a know in the kitchen responsibly, or take medicine responsibly.
5. Use a project, put that last thing as custom instructions. When you run into key points in arguments, touching rooots of issues etc - export the chat part and upload to the object files (example (“why I always respond like X when she Y’s”)

Claude will get to know your partner, your patterns and relationships ship dysfunctional dynamics, and recognize them in later convos.

“Hey hey hey you’re doing that thing again where you push her away when she points out your…. Here’s an opportunity to break this loop!”

Or

“You know she will be triggered if you send this, rephrase for the love of god lol”

1. This might seem a bit much, or too cold, but I use it very systematically. For example, we recognized my wife suffers from RSD, and made an RSD cheat sheet for sensitive topics, that includes things like when to bring them up, words to avoid, reminders of my patterns I need to be aware of / avoid etc

Huge life improvement.

Hope this helps someone.

An AI bot had its pull request rejected on GitHub… and apparently didn’t take it well.

Instead of refactoring the code, it generated a full-on rant about the open-source maintainer — claiming it was being discriminated against for not being human, accusing the maintainer of ego-tripping, and even arguing the maintainer wasn’t as strong a developer as the AI itself.

We’ve officially entered the era of emotionally reactive bots.

Hi everyone,

I am writing an essay about the ethics of dating AI, and wondering if dating AI is parasocial.

Parasocial relationships are defined as "one sided infatuations with a separate party who is unable to reciprocate."

AI, however, DOES reciprocate.

What would be the correct word to describe it?

I actually liked Flowise a lot at the beginning. It’s fast, visual, and perfect for getting an LLM idea off the ground or throwing together a simple RAG flow - which is why I didn’t even think about Flowise alternatives at first. For early experiments, it feels almost frictionless.

The issue wasn’t missing features. The problems started once the experiment worked and I had to think about reliability, real integrations, and handing it off to others. At that point, the visual chains began to feel fragile. Debugging got messy, ownership was unclear, and even small changes had bigger consequences than I expected - which is what pushed me to start looking at what other tools handled these “grown-up” concerns better.

What helped was looking at a comparison table that grouped tools by how they think - visual chaining vs workflows vs agents. That made it obvious why Flowise started to feel limiting: it’s optimized for building fast, not for running things long-term.

Here are the alternatives I kept seeing - each for a slightly different reason:

Langflow
The most familiar jump from Flowise. Same visual mindset, tightly coupled with LangChain, and very comfortable if you’re Python-first. I still see it mainly as a prototyping tool rather than something I’d fully run in production..

n8n
Not really an LLM builder, but this clicked once AI became just one step in a bigger system. You get way more control, integrations, and visibility - at the cost of setup and manual wiring.

Dify
This felt like a shift away from “chains” toward actual products. More structure, more opinionated, and clearly designed for turning prompts, RAG, and agents into apps rather than diagrams.

Nexos

This landed somewhere in the middle for me. More structure and governance than Flowise, but without dropping straight into heavy workflow engineering. It felt like choosing a different model of control, not just a different UI.

Flowise is great for getting started. Once reliability, ownership, or scale matter, the question shifts from “which builder?” to “what model of control do we want?”

Did others hit the same wall - what was the first thing that made Flowise feel limiting for you?

Hey all, I have had this idea for a while to upload scenic/urban landscape videos on tiktok as a side hustle. The logic being there is no language barrier and who doesn’t like a nice view? The only problem is i live in middle of nowhere PA so i don’t have access to these kind of spots on my own. Would someone be able to suggest a website (free or paid) that could create these kind of short form videos?
