It's a great analogy. In short: explore versus exploit. Both are necessary, both are valuable. I largely agree with the OP, because I can only see an explosion in both camps. The explore side might be automated by compute, and that bre

I too noticed this and liked it.. This feels more like an "e-bike for the mind" and less of a chauffeur.

You might be misreading him. He doesn't make a claim that implies "don't train" might not matter in the way you might think. They cannot rule out that the data was trained because they have no per-user provenance trackin

It gets an incredible amount of mileage. And I believe it is the interface that allows the model to learn and eventually bake that intelligence into the model. Look at how Astra scored 100% on Arc-AGI-3. It was largely because of the harnes

I don't believe, but this feels a bit like: "Hey... we need to improve our porn detection AI... but we want to avoid paying for all that porn... is anyone open to taking on some personal liability for a nice bonus this year"

There is not. You'll have to explain yourself. Perhaps you're realizing why this makes no sense?

Sell to who? The company is loss-making. Investors WANT the founder to have shares so that the founder is invested in being the force behind making the company NOT loss-making.

I mean.. human judgment still applies. But as an automated first pass the clamp works in 90% of cases. I scan for correctness and make small edits here and there.

well... _of course_ the skill does more than write 3-5 sentences. We have a lot more that it automates into the description that makes it worth using.

My team solved this by creating a PR draft skill that clamps the length of the description to 3-5 sentences max. Those 3-5 sentences must only say WHAT is changing and WHY. I find it to be far more useful than when humans wrote PR descripti

Hooks.. CI runs. Local Git hooks. Cursor also has hooks built into their agent. Other agent APIs probably have something similar.

I don't follow, the words make perfect sense together in most software engineering contexts. "Seam" is an industry standard term coined by Michael Feathers in Working Effectively with Legacy Code. To call a seam load bearing

This article is about silicon. But the other shortage that matters is meat-compute. AI is trained on human intelligence. The hyper-scalers are squeezing every last drop of automatically verified reward, and that may get us very far. A compi

Wouldn't "2-3 weeks on a workday" be a default hypothesis for this kind of thing?

All I want to say is that I absolutely love this essay. Thank you.

Well, we take from the artist a motivation for a buyer to purchase their work.

I mean.. this claim is just untrue. "Owning" something is a social construct defined by law. Our entire society exists because we own things we cannot hold, that is, intellectual property. What this post is actually pointing out i

Should it also be their decision that they can gamble? Smoke cigarettes? Get a job? Have sex? We draw the line somewhere because these things that "are the parents' decision" have consequences on broader society. They have co

I put a little too much weight on "the".. sorry.. Reality is that was A bottleneck. Code review has historically been faster than writing the code. That is no longer true for me. I can complete two to three PRs per day in a span o

Writing. Code. Is. No. Longer. The. Bottleneck. Deciding what to build. Reviewing Code. And testing code. Are the new bottleneck. So of course we don't see massive productivity gains. Because these parts of the SCLC were always bottlen

Fable responded to that for me. Im nearly certain that blocking this class of prompt is a mistake of a classifier. No one at Anthropic thinks this kind of prompt should be gated. The classifier is still classifying. The model was released

I get the sense that he is misidentifying the potential locus of consciousness.. In the same way that the sound waves and facial expressions I produce are not conscious, the output json of an LLM is obviously not conscious either. The locus

Lots of humans. Lots of companies. Random chance. Of course, its not that simple. Some companies probably are great at scouting. Yegge mentioned a few ways in the post. Good internship programs, acquihiring, etc.

No, this is a totally fair response. That was probably the core error in my argument. Some people, perhaps most, will enjoy AI art. Artists are at risk of displacement too. But a subset of art appreciators hold firm that the creator is an e
