AI driven web design has the same smell, it’s quite fascinating to see the different tells in different media. Then it’s also quite fascinating to see those same tells change and evolve over time.

Interesting. I’ve been playing with something similar, at the coding agent harness message sequence level (memory, I guess). I’m looking at human driven UX for compaction and resolving/pruning dead ends

Quite. We’re far more similar to construction workers than we are civil engineers, despite the lofty title we like to bestow upon ourselves.

On the other hand man was it easy to make money at the time. I guess that’s probably true now for those in the AI space too

Purely as an exercise to see how they operate, and understand them better. Then additionally because I was curious how much better one could make something like qwen3.5-plus with its 1 mil context window despite its weaker base behaviour, i

It's not as capable as Sonnet 4.6 in my usage over the past couple days, through a few different coding harnesses (including my own for-play one[0], that's been quite fun). [0] https://github.com/girvo/girvent

Considering the full fat Qwen3.5-plus is good, but barely Sonnet 4 good in my testing (but incredibly cheap!) I doubt the quantised versions are somehow as good if not better in practice.

And yet models get things wrong all the time, too.

That has always been true (not that I’m saying you don’t know that, I’m using your comment as a jumping off point) in this industry. I am a good developer, but I’m a very good teacher and leader, and soft skills are why I’ve had the career

Sometimes I’m scared. Sometimes I realise that this particular task has been slower than if I’d done it myself when I take in to account full wall clock time. I can’t tell what type of task is going to work ahead of time yet.

Glad it's not just me then, it's been driving me slightly batty.

In my experience, sometimes. Not that often, depends on the task. The benefit is I can keep some things ticking over while I’m in meetings, to be honest.

I kind of miss SOAP. Ahead of its time? Probably not, but I built some cool things on top of it

Flawed? Possibly, but I think it's more that any kind of benchmark then becomes a target, and is inherently going to be a "lossy" signal as to the models actual ability in practice. Quantisation doesn't help, but even ru

I hope this leads to them pushing for Jolla and similar to not be locked out of banking apps (and EU IDs…)

Sadly true, while scammers run rampant regardless. It’s depressing to watch everything get worse.

Eh. They really weren't. "I'm firin' mah lazer" wasn't funny and yet for a while it was ubiquitous. I'd wager in fact that most memes weren't inherently funny: their purpose is in-group signalling for
