That would be a lot easier to believe if this law in question actually, you know, helped society. Or did anything to affect how it runs, let alone “effectively.” As it stands, it reads more like “I’ve used my free will to decide to suspen

Your comment doesn’t make as strong of a point as you think it does; it might make the opposite point. Because, yes, first, it was a model issue, and then more advanced models started appearing and prompting them correctly became more i

I’m pretty sure whoever made this didn’t read the website they asked their LLM to generate for them.

The point is that if the harness’ workflow gives contradictory and confusing instructions to the model, it’s a harness issue, not necessarily a model issue.

Stop advertising pi, people. It _somehow_ continued to fly somewhat under the radar after that whole OpenClaw nonsense. Don’t make Anthropic’s sic their bloodhounds on them like they did on OpenCode.

I feel like this misses the point of pi somewhat. The allure of pi is that it allows you to start from scratch and make it entirely your own; that it’s lightweight and uses only what you need. I go through the list of features in this and I

The people who they’re going to piss off the most with this are the exact people who are the least susceptible to their walled garden play. If you’re using OpenCode, you’re not going to stop using it because Anthropic tells you to; you’re

Sometimes it feels like the advent of LLMs is hyperboosting the undoing of decades of slow societal technical literacy that wasn't even close to truly taking foot yet. Though LLMs aren't the reason ; they're just the latest
