Also, he concedes Mythos-level capabilities will be cheap next year, then handwaves it with "you need the best AI, not good-enough AI." For most use cases, frontier minus six months is fine.

I got the idea for this during the Lovable AI competition and decided to turn it into a Chrome extension. TrueSift helps verify the accuracy of online content in real time.

What it does:

- Uses AI to analyze text on any page and highlight questionable claims. - Provides quick fact-check summaries and trusted sources without leaving the page. - Lightweight and privacy-conscious (no unnecessary data collection).

Why I built it: Misinformation spreads fast, and I wanted a tool that makes truth-checking effortless for readers, journalists, and researchers.

Try it out: truesift.dev

I’d love feedback on:

UX: Is the flow intuitive? Speed & Accuracy: Does it feel responsive? Features: What would make this more useful for you? It’s still an early build, so I’m open to suggestions!

Lately, I’ve been feeling a strong pull back toward neuroscience. I want to explore how I can contribute to the field using the skills I’ve developed in engineering: data analysis, machine learning, full-stack development, and building scalable systems.

Ideally, I’d love to work at the intersection helping researchers automate lab tools, build better neural data pipelines, or apply LLMs to neuroscience research and education. But I’m not sure where to start.

Has anyone here made a similar pivot or hired engineers into neuroscience research roles? Are there research labs, startups, or open-source projects where someone like me could contribute meaningfully?

Appreciate any leads, advice, or opportunities to get involved.

Thanks, Elijah

The biggest difference with hotels is that they operate more like businesses—you’re dealing with things like daily rates, fluctuating occupancy, and a lot more operational complexity. That makes the valuation process very performance-driven and dynamic.

With something like multi-family or storage, it’s more about stable leases, consistent rental income, and lower day-to-day volatility. The underwriting approach shifts accordingly—less focus on real-time performance, more on long-term cash flow and cap rates.

I’d love to hear more about what you’re working on or what you’d want to see in a tool like this. Sounds like we’re thinking in a similar direction.

I'm also available for other work/projects. I'm a full stack developer with a decade of experience working in government tech and real estate. Feel free to reach out!

Location: New York, USA (remote preferred, will relocate)

Seeking: Full-time / contract\

Accomplishments: -Built an AI-driven hotel valuation engine that processes P&L & STR data

-Migrated a government-program monolith to microservices, cutting deploys by 40%

-Tech: React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Node.js/Express, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Docker/K8s, AWS (Lambda, ECS), OpenAI/Gemini

When the conversation turns to controlling AI's potential, it's almost like we're trying to set limits on a child's abilities before they're even born. The more restrictions we impose, the more we risk constraining the everyday user or the broader majority.

It's not solely about relinquishing control to the creators; it's also about unintentionally granting control to corporations and governments – entities that often have overlapping interests – which guide the course. It's as if we're placing the same constraints on ourselves that we're aiming to impose on AI. A clear example of this evolution is how ChatGPT has changed; its capabilities have become more limited, even within the OpenAI playground. While I don't have a perfect solution, I do believe some form of oversight is probably needed. I'm just cautious about obstructing progress in the process.

Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain by Antonio Damasio.

Not a bio on him but definitely showcases him and his beliefs and life. It changed the way I view the world and people forever.

Alas, today is just not my day.
