It's so crazy. As a user, you need to triple authenticate with all sorts of gates to withdraw money but here's a dev guy who can just magically, without any secondary authorizations (as far as I can tell), transfer billions. No devops/sys admin should have access to live wallets with real funds

These are not my words but someone mentioned these (probably hard) use cases that I think make sense for these agents but they're not there yet:

- Regularly get insurance (car/home) quotes

- Negotiate medical bills / help understand bills in general

- Analyze credit card spending / sort of like mint.com experience

- Advice on financial products (e.g. use money market for X sum vs having all your money in 0% checking) - sort of like a financial advisor

- Taxes and rebates, deal with IRS

- Reach out to Utility or whatever companies and file complains (saw this on Reddit where some guy's personal bot reached out to Verizon to complain about loose pole wires)

So it's practical time saving use cases...not a restaurant reservation or remind me about X or help me clean my mailbox BS cases. That stuff if for techies like us is useless but you have to start somewhere

Looks very interesting. Can you explain for noobs why using Google's OKF format and not plain MD files?

So the only "buy" option one has now is to torrent the movie? At least no one is going to delete the mp4 file.

I tried all sorts of automation in the past and always get banned at the end. Not worth it. Use AI or whatever to generate your social media content but always post it manually for best engagement and not getting banned

Have you tried WebLLM? Or this wrapper: CodexLocal.com Basically, you would have a rather simple but capable LLM right in your browser using WebLLM and GPU

Right. What about to K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid)? If I need a bunch of agents and various levels of orchestration to simply close a bunch of Jira tasks then we have a problem. Also, what happens in a few years when this start failing and human operators are no longer able to troubleshoot the issue, forget fixing it.

I don't think it's about ideas or even the code. It's about execution, marketing, talking to your customers and doing sales. This is something AI can't do...yet

This. I'm also using an LLM very similarly and treat it like a knowledgeable co-worker I can ask for an advice or check something. I want to be the one applying changes to my codebase and then running the tests. Ok, agents may improve the efficiency but it's a slippery slope. I don't want to sit here all day watching the agents modify and re-modify my codebase, I want to do this myself because it's still fun though not as much fun as it was pre-AI

This is awesome. So your job as a tech lead or agent manager is to make sure the "team" plays nice and stays productive. I wonder if an agent can feel resentment towards another agent, just like a human would. Is there an HR agent that can mitigate the conflict :)

"AI Company with Soul" - yeah right until competitors show up / revenue drops / bad quarter results then anything goes. Sadly, this is another large enterprise that puts profits before ethics and everyone's wellbeing

So true that's why I love the Google? interview question: how does a modern browser work (basically one needs to understand the entire journey from a file on the server, through DNS, and browser rendering engine). Sadly, this is becoming lost to many folks.

Pre-AI, I worked with Devs that didn't even know what an HTTP request is (difference between GET/POST/etc) - we were building an enterprise software where higher level libraries abstracted that away..With AI, it's becoming even worse now - just ask Claude

And get hacked via prompt injection

Is it possible to get insurance as an expat living in a foreign country, yet spend time in the states? Would that be a good coverage for retirees that want to split time between US and other countries?

New agent framework / platform every week now. It's crazy how fast things move...just when you get comfortable with an AI flow something new comes out...
