My worry is that ASR will end up like OCR. If the multi modal large AI system is good enough (latency wise), the advantage of domain understanding eats the other technlogies alive.

In OCR, even when the characters are poorly scanned, the deep domain understanding these large multi modal AIs have allows it to understand what the document actually meant - this is going to be order id because in the million invoices I have seen before order id is normally below order date - etc. The same issue is going to be there in ASR also is my worry.

I guess so - but for people working on billing section of a project or even if they include things like - add billing capability etc in Claude MD - it might be an issue, I think

This turned out to be a bug. https://x.com/om_patel5/status/2038754906715066444?s=20

One reddit user reverse engineered the binary and found that it was a cache invalidation issue.

They are doing some hidden string replacement if the claude code conversation talks about billing or tokens. Looks like that invalidates the cache at that point.

If that string appears anywhere in the conversation history, I think the starting text is replaced, your entire cache rebuilds from scratch.

So, nothing devious, just a bug.

Default setting latest should be caught in every static code scanner. How many times has this issue been raised.

The best part was the Doom running over AT Protocol. Jetstream is a bit patchy, but running Doom - I would never have thought it possible

It actually points out the completely opposite and I liked that quite a bit That AI allows us to get back the open web in in a way.

This has been my issue from long. AI CANNOT ever act as Emotional Crutch. This is something companies develop for engagement, and I believe that this is actively harmful in the long run.
