Sorry to be that guy but: >Quiet is not proof that nobody is recording, and a detection is not proof that anyone is Is such claudespeak it’s not even annoying it’s just funny at this point

One thing that sort of worked for me is to write the skeleton myself, i.e. the general ideas and how they fit together, the overall “flow” of what I want to say, then have an LLM fill in the blanks (I either point it at some context.md or h

One thing that you should absolutely never do: have an LLM review and “improve” the text repeatedly in some closed loop. This might work well for some tasks (coding), but for writing it will absolutely take reasonable text and turn it into

Can anyone please explain this Jev thing to me? We’ve always had output schemas for LLMs, and we’ve had small language classifiers for decades, so what’s new? Is it just some sweet spot in between in terms of quality vs speed?

Interesting thought. In a way this is already the case, to some extent. But wouldn’t it be way more economical to have some sort of AI-insurance service? i.e. protection against AI fucking things up?

What exactly enforces that an AI follows these rules?

Also: Google has like a 20% stake in Anthropic, and a very fat cloud partnership

Right, but this leads to my main question: is this still necessary? By analogy with code, do we still need code to be maintainable/readable if machines write it all? (Obviously for now the answer is yes, but I’m not sure this will be t

I know it's incredibly presumptuous for me, a nobody, to say this to 25 Fields Medalists, but: Perhaps you are misaligned. Who decided the goal of math must be human insight? First off, some mathematical truths might simply be far be

There’s one thing I constantly see agents tripping over, I’m not sure what the right word for it would be, but it basically boils down to “making changes in the right places”. They seem to have very poor grasp of where things are supposed t

I’m not a fan of OAI to say the least, but having worked at similar companies, my guess is that it’s just too difficult to prove/disprove beyond a doubt, and they have other priorities

I think the line between regular LLM "endpoints" and agents/harnesses is going to become more and more blurry until it's a meaningless distinction. When you're using ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini etc. you're

How do you manage your frustration in these interactions? I often find myself getting pissed off

I believe the older models are being gradually phased out, newer ones have no availability issues

Just like Claude Code and others it has the same —-dangerously-skip-permissions flag, auto approves everything

Antigravity has been also rapidly improving lately, and your can also use any of the open coding harnesses. But I mostly meant “harness” as in your workflow/loop setup.

People have been sleeping on Gemini lately but these last few Flash releases (which were very rapid) are damn good. These sort of fast and cheap models are great for tasks that are verifiable and can be retried infinitely (like coding), you

Best case scenario, this ends up being abused in order to feed LLMs crap responses (or worse).

This is incredible, I wish I could have this in my city. Can’t help but wondering, how will this look like if we had AI try to “augment” these maps in real time (maybe using street view images?). I wonder if it would be playable in reasonab

Nowadays most “LLM” endpoints include some sort of server side harness as well, and I’d bet more than one model involved, so it’s really just agents all the way down

I’m entirely confident that this technically pointless, especially when you consider open models exist. I believe they know damn well that this will lead nowhere, and are only doing this to mitigate criticism.
