I agree with you completely, but the way I see it Anthropic are x100 worse when it comes to amplifying this doomer bs for marketing. It’s their whole shtick.

He’s a grown ass man tweeting in all lowercase, that’s all I needed to know. I could more or less infer the rest from that.

But doesn’t this defeat the purpose? I would actually imagine this would be useful for observably in the sense that you can fork and then kill the loop in the fork, hop into an interactive session to figure out what it’s doing, while the lo

Very nice, congrats! One thing: >Freestyle is the only sandbox provider with built-in multi-tenant git hosting — create thousands of repos via API and pair them directly with sandboxes for seamless code management. Maybe I’m just stupid,

I really like the “functional core, imperative shell” approach, I try to use it whenever I can. I wish more non-FP languages had a way to mark a function as pure (and have this statically enforced).

>LLMs don't care about files. Oh but they do. These CLI agents are trained and specifically tuned to work with the filesystem. It’s not about the content or how it’s actually stored, it’s about the familiar access patterns. I can’t

I get what you’re saying, and you’re right, however I can also see where they’re coming from: Empirically, agents (especially the coding CLIs) seem to be doing so much better with files, even if the tooling around them is less than ideal. W

I hate how agreeable these things are. When I need it to review something I wrote I have to explicitly pretend that I’m the reviewer and not the author. Results change dramatically.

Wegovy/Ozempic didn’t do anything for me for months. Then my doc put me on Tirzepatide+Phentermine combo and I forgot what being hungry even feels like.

I actually don’t think golfing is such a bad thing, granted it will first handle the low hanging fruits like variable names etc, but if you push it hard enough it will be forced to think of a simpler approach. Then you can take a step back

I think these are 2 independent axis: 1. Destructive by accident 2. Destructive because it was prompt-injected And 1. Fucks up filesystem 2. Fucks up external systems via credentials

So you give it approval to the secret once, how can you be sure it wasn’t sent someplace else / persisted somehow for future sessions? Say you gave it access to Gmail for the sole purpose of emailing your mom. Are you sure the email it

I had it coding autonomously for about an hour (including lots of tool wait time) on a difficult task, and it actually produced good results. What’s most surprising is that I had it follow a strict loop/workflow and it did that perfect

Every time this is brought up I have to go read up on it again, assuming I just didn’t get it last time. And every time I reach the same conclusion: it's a WhatsApp/Telegram/etc wrapper for LLMs. Until next time!

Whenever I see instances like this I can’t help but think a human is just trolling (I think that’s the case for like 90% of “interesting” posts on Moltbook). Are we simply supposed to accept this as fact because some random account said so?
