Article closes with: >The usefulness of AI agents is dominated by how few mistakes they make, not by their raw speed. Buying 6x the speed at the cost of 20% more mistakes is a bad bargain, because most of the user’s time is spent handlin

You should probably email the authors if you think that's true. I highly doubt they didn't do a literature search first though...

The harness matters far more than most people think. This post about the CORE benchmark where Opus’ score almost doubled when they switched to Claude Code from their own harness. https://x.com/sayashk/status/199633

Cool, so clearly articulate the goal posts. What do LLMs have to do to convince you that they are intelligent? If the answer is there is no amount of evidence that can change your mind, then you're not arguing in good faith.

I read the rest of it. It was intellectually lazy.

>As a quick aside, I am not going to entertain the notion that LLMs are intelligent, for any value of “intelligent.” They are robots. Programs. Fancy robots and big complicated programs, to be sure — but computer programs, nonetheless. T

Sorry, but that's an exceptionally unimpressive article. The crux of his thesis is: >The main flaw is that this idea treats intelligence as purely abstract and not grounded in physical reality. To improve any system, you need resour

It might be impressive on benchmarks, but there's just no way for them to break through the noise from the frontier models. At these prices they're just hemorrhaging money. I can't see a path forward for the smaller companies

Did you miss the chart from FT that shows the number of iOS apps and GH commits taking off late last year? It’s happening.

The best part about this whole debate is that we don't have to wait years and years for one side to be proven definitively right. We will know beyond a shadow of a doubt which side is right by this time next year. If agentic coding has

This person is not using Claude Code or Cursor. They refuse to use the tools and have convinced themselves that they are right. Sadly, they won't recognize how wrong they were until they are unemployable.

I haven’t seen any info on charging speed. Can you recharge these as quickly as LFP?

You only feel that way about power tools because the transition for carpentry happened long ago. Carpenters viewed power tools much as we do LLMs today. Furniture factories, equivalent of dark agentic code factories, caused much despair to

Most companies haven't recognized that LLM cheating is extremely effective and widespread yet. Hiring practices have not kept up.

Every engineer in the next two years needs to prepare themselves for this conversation to play out (from Office Space): > Bob Slydell: What you do at Initech is you take the specifications from the customer and bring them down to the sof

This is no different then carpentry. Yes, all furniture can now be built by machines. Some people still choose to build it by hand. Does that make them less productive? Yes. Will they ever carve furniture by hand for a business? Probably no

So much this. No one ever really cared about “good code” except some engineers who took an irrational amount of pride in their code.

You have your head in the sand. Anyone making this claim in 2026 hasn’t legitimately tried these tools.

I use coding agents almost exclusively now and I’m going to say yes and no on this one. Yes, I think there’s the potential to replace some frameworks that abstract away too many details and make things way too complicated for basic apps. A

People said the same thing about the transition to higher levels of abstraction in the past. “How will they write good code if they don’t know assembly? How can they write efficient code if they don’t understand how a microprocessor works?”

The naysayers said we’d never even get to this point. It’s far more plausible to me that AI will advance enough to de-slopify our code than it is to me that there will be some karmic reckoning in which the graybeards emerge on top again.

Don’t do this. Enjoy the time that you have together. Work with your doctors.

We went from barely able to ask these things to write a function to writes a compiler that actually kind of works in under a year. But sure, keep moving the goal posts!

Can we talk about how the performance of Opus 4.5 nosedived this morning during the rollout? It was shocking how bad it was, and after the rollout was done it immediately reverted to it's previous behavior. I get that Anthropic proba

Why? Of those, the only one that still might need a UI is signing contracts.

This just sounds ridiculously expensive. Burning hundreds of dollars a day to generate code of questionable utility.

My working hypothesis is that people are dumping Bitcoin for AI adjacent stocks because the hype around agents is growing. There’s no way to prove this, but I’m seeing unexpected behaviors on the secondary markets for privately held AI comp

This is just babyAGI again. People will realize in another few months that it doesn't really work well and that it costs a LOT of tokens.
