Remember Deep Thought, the greatest computer ever built that spent 7.5 million years computing the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything? The answer was 42, perfectly correct, utterly useless because nobody u

Connecting telegram to an agent with a bunch of skills and access to isolated compute environment is largely a solved problem. I don't want to advertise but here but plenty of solutions to spin this up, including what we have built.

It is, but I thought security wasn't the point. The point was to give it unlimited access to your entire digital life and while I'd never use it that way myself, that's what many users are signing up for, for better or worse.

There are secure alternatives but they are not making millions of dollars.

Yes and no. At the individual level, I think most people will be writing software, whether they realise it or not. Asking Claude to do something for you will often result in a purely generated script built for that one specific task. Some m

Very cool! However, once remote capabilities are added to any software, it is virtually guaranteed that they will eventually be exploited as backdoors. This means enterprise security solutions will need to develop the capability to distingu

Yep. We've canceled some software we could build internally. But biggest win was deploying our own agents to help with the business. So in general, we spend more more money - not less.

Why? This is just regex search and there are plenty of tools that do this perfectly fine.

The main issue is not so much if it needs to run inside a container or not (and to be honest there are even better isolation models, why not firecracker vm). The main issue is what are you going to do with it. It does not really matter. IMH

More issues today. It is never ending. I do realise that most people are not experiencing these issues but as heavy users this is really affecting our operations.

This is no different than receiving PRs from anonymous users on the Internet. Some more successful open source projects are already doing this at scale.

Nothing changes in terms of how to make reliable software. You need the same things like unit tests, integration tests, monitoring tools, etc. Basically AI now makes every product operate as if it has a vibrant open-source community with hu

There is no doubt there is a lot of AI generated content. We do it too - code, tutorials, etc. It is just too convenient and useful to ignore. The question that I have is this. Is it possible the language will converge towards AI mannerism

Look up Amdahl's Law and Universal Scalability Law. The math doesn't care whether the nodes are people, CPUs or language models. If agent A's next action depends on what agent B decided, you've introduced a sequential de

Don't you think AI itself is something that adds coordination overhead? A 1000 strong team with AI agents will feel like 5000-person company where more than 30% are not even at exception level - i.e. they need to be pulled along. This

Focusing on where the agent runs instead of what it can do is basically the wrong strategy. Hosting these agents is hardly the problem and frankly AWS is not the most cost effective or secure path forward. What is more important is making t

The Internet was always full of bots. Not chatbots, but bots like crawlers, scrapers, automated scripts. That was fine. What the OP is talking about is bots that participate in public discourse. That's the actual problem. I think it ca
