This has started to be an issue at my work with code. Everyone started using the thermo-nuclear-code-quality-review skill and, while it does a great job finding consolidation opportunities and architecturally-weak code, it also continues to

I don't at all understand this perspective. It seems to me that LLMs excel at a few things, and synthesizing data is a big one, which is very much the domain of forecasting. The challenge is understanding which signals are relevant for

Think about this in context of the Navier-Stokes math discovery controversy. Putting attribution/privacy issues to the side, imagine if any individual could try new approaches to solve a problem/make a discovery and any micro-adva

I think the bigger need is for outside concerns, like: what is the infrastructure like? How much volume does this feature handle? How should changes to live code be rolled out to prevent running processes from failing? In addition to all th

Not confidential, but not super relevant, as this is something I have learned the hard way over the past year across various projects. A lot of people have become prompt maximalists, asking for complex multi-part solutions or dynamic workfl

Also useful for people who want to ride along with someone currently on a plane. "Honey, you are over Kansas right now!" Useless things tend to be deeply useful to a select few. I am loving this "re-weirding" of the inte

You need an outside process that polices output and actions that runs independently from the agent. It has to be invisible to the agent/orchestrator so it can't work to circumvent it, it should just kill any sub-agent or process t

After much fumbling around with prompts and evals, this is exactly how I am using LLMs in production, to narrowly make choices and return structured data. Any deterministic work gets pulled out of the prompt and my goal is to narrow the mod

By far, the biggest risk comes from orchestration. The Hugging Face incident showed that given a long enough leash and some open-ended tools (like web access), LLMs can construct their own state and combine multiple flaws and coordinated ac

I have seen some fever dream vibe projects, but this one takes the cake. I need to read a bit more to grok what is going on here, but if this is the direction of AI hobby projects I'm here for it. Far better than the last decade or two

I agree, this is a very incurious take that smacks of an old guard "keep on keepin' on" mindset. We have had script kiddies forever! It's just a chatbot and some message boards! It's the same thinking as an alien di

I remember reading about how the Amish operate. We treat them as a quaint, anti-progress cult of sorts, but they have a process where they consider new technologies and determine if they are worth adopting or not. Obviously the answer is &q

As much as I am sad that Google died like 15 years ago, I am past the mourning phase. That was when they announced they were shifting from returning websites to "returning answers" and it has been a long slide into shittification

I would love to see the opposite emerge, a programming environment focused on teaching architecture, security, separation of concerns, etc. All while letting LLMs deal with the fussy programming bits. The script is already flipping, with ki

No no no that's too reductive - instead, they transition all data through a transformer using SOTA systems to launder away technical, legal and interpersonal concerns before a stochastic output is dynamically placed in a predetermined

Concise helps clarity, but notice what still is lost. The original version used multiple perspectives to illustrate the point. It invites consideration, putting yourself in the shoes of each person before the "twist" is applied to

Maybe the Betamax/VHS is the best analogy for frontier vs. open models. Better tech doesn't matter if it is non-tenable for the general public. Eventually, the higher volume product will win.

Companies are on purpose poorly run during the "gold rush" phase, which is where AI is right now. Everyone wants to not be left behind and velocity is placed ahead of profitability and especially ahead of quality. What happens nex

I work on an MCP server and I agree. There is no need to make MCP servers the gateway for agentic or programmatic integration - that's exactly what API servers handle out of the box. The value of MCP servers is fine-toothed access on a

I have extended this to coding work as well. "Implement this plan in less than 1000 added lines, tests included". It's amazing how well-behaved and concise models can be with simple guardrails. Of course, you have to intuit a
