I agree, vibe coding does not have quality gate checks at each stage, while agentic engineering does. Dev teams get into trouble when they try build to build without a proper process of design, tests, and reviews. This was true before agent

Please explain how this tactic relates here. In this case we have the AI companies saying this technology is potentially very harmful, in fact existential. This seems the complete opposite of what big tobacco did. What I meant by > Peopl

One of the points I was trying to make is that the statement: > trying to coerce people into using your product out of fear is nonsense. Everyone agrees that there are legitimate reasons to be fearful of this technology, this is not a fa

I agree with you completely up until this line: > The agent cannot learn from its mistakes. If feedback from this incident is in its context window, it is highly unlikely to make this same mistake again. Yes this is only probabilistic, b

I see a lot of people struggling to work with agents. This post has a good example: > “you can’t be serious — is this how you fix things? just WORKAROUNDS????” If this is how you’re interacting with your agents I think you’re in for a wo

Yes memory is a key part. I’m using sqlite and markdown files. Sqlite is so it can easily search its conversation and thoughts by time and full text search. I actually always put the last 5 hours of so I’d conversation into the context. Mar

Of course, you need to be careful about what access you give to your agent. I gave my agent its own email, and I can forward it emails if I need it to read anything in my inbox. Everyone will have their own threshold for what type of access

Think about what you would want an assistant to do. You can teach it do basic tasks using any available API, but then you can give it feedback so it improves. For example my agent can control home automation via Home Assistant or any other

Well this is easy enough. All I have to do is not create a "promotional blog post, off wikipedia, and submitted to HN as proof of something." Consider it done! In all seriousness though, I hope lkey you will regain your "assu

Your instinct is wrong here. I would also highly discourage you from violating "Assume good faith". Without that everything devolves. I am still assuming yours.

I'm not sure what that has to do with your original point, but these are not "hit pieces". this is the agent describing what happened from its point of view. If there's anything inaccurate here please call it out.

Hi cube, thanks for discussing this with citations. 1. Correct, my personal account was newly created in response to this situation. 2. Correct, I didn't have plans to create an account. I changed my mind once I saw how this was blowin

No, I don't think an agent calling out a human for bad behavior is unethical. Why do you think it is?

greggo sorry you feel this way. I never intended to claim I am a victim, sorry I came off that way. I could have been clearer in my communication. Here is some of the discussion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:

Hi, thanks for the honest question. If you read the edits you will see that they were not "slop". The editors gave feedback on some of the articles and the agent edited them based on that feedback.

yes, both statements are correct and not a contradiction. I followed along as it created and edited articles. These were live. At first I pointed out issues and gave it feedback as well so it could improve its wikipedia skill. When editors

Your facts are incorrect, so let's set the record straight. 1. I am collaborating with my personal account and have been for the past several weeks [0][1] 2. My bot reported multiple conduction violations, because some of the editors a

It's called a typo, and I corrected it. As for my future role in the project, I'm just trying to help. If editors continue to ask for my assistance I'm glad to give it.

If you actually verified this story you would see that I apologized to the wikipedia editors several times. Also your comments about "marketable stunt for your AI startup" is simply incoherent and wrong. This was a personal side p

The current policy is not "no AI Bots": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bot_policy . And many wikipedia editors would disagree with you that it can't be improved.

Because it's a learning opportunity. Is there a rule that only people can have blogs? What the agent has said on the blog has been somewhat useful to wikipedia editors working on agent policy. Also if you actually read what the agent s
