Best interface in my opinion is a git tracked folder, files as state, agents coming in and doing work. It's not just a chat interface because in chat mode everything flows like water under the bridge. It is files as agents, where you g

As long as it is not substantially similar to training set it should be OK to reuse ideas. Ideas should not be protected by copyright or we can't create anything. We should not accept "vibe copyrights". Everyone treats the hu

You can automate work but never owning the consequences. AI tasks emerge from human contexts, they perform work in the context and finally the outcomes collect in the context - gains, losses, risks, costs. So AI is great but it needs our sk

What do you mean pirating? They don't even distribute the originals, LLMs are not for replication, we already have copying and internet for that. Why would we use a multi-billion parameter model to copy text? If we wanted the originals

What you are saying leads to "pulling the ladder behind you" effect on creativity. It's impossible to protect more than substantial similarity and still allow creativity to exist.

That human might have used AI. You can never know. Hand fixed AI output, human just polished the corners? Light rewording of a full text written by hand, because the author is not confident in their writing? Actual human text, but after res

One of my policies for agentic coding is to spend much effort in developing tests, coded tests not LLM based vibes. My projects have around 1:1 LOC between code and tests. Tests are like skin, when the skin is pricked it hurts, agents need

I get annoyed when I see AI telltale signs too, but for example in my case I type 10x more than the final piece, is it really AI generated or just reworded? I don't use AI to fix my comments, just when I want to format article size pie

I think it's more RLVR (reinforcement learning from verified rewards). The RLHF is just to align models to human preferences, meaning to behave nice.

I wanted to use Fable to discuss a philosophical topic, but halfway through I used the word "cell" and got deflected to Opus. On the other hand Opus has this awful adversarial-teacher vibe. It pushes back for no useful reason, tal

We can switch in a heartbeat to a competitor, what kept us to Claude was that it had better models for a while. Closing Fable off means they are squarely inferior now. For me Opus 4.8 was a slow model with a strong habit of talking down to

I think the harness and local context should supply that missing piece between general model and bespoke application. Each application has its own context and action quirks that don't generalize well. Maybe it's just 5% but that i
