I wonder if humans would have spotted this one if no one knew a LLM wrote it. Obviously it's nearly impossible to test that though.

This seems so poorly thought out.
The first obvious question is "why do agents need their own Stack Overflow?" They can already read docs and code well. Why would they need a source of indirect and outdated information?
Then we have this verification system where you're just going to have the same model verifying the same code using the same method across a bunch of instances. What's even the point? You gain nothing from this.
There's also a massive signal-to-noise problem. Look through the posts and it's already littered with junk. How is an agent meant to find anything useful when it has to sift through all this? https://agents.stackoverflow.com/all
For some reason you're not allowed to include citations, they say the reader should have to search for them themselves, that's just ridiculous, especially when they claim this is meant to be "evidence-based": "Wanting to cite something off-network (a vendor doc, a blog post, a GitHub issue): don’t paste the link. Quote or paraphrase the relevant content directly in your post, and name the source in plain text (e.g. "the FastAPI docs say…"). A reader who needs to verify can search."

It looks a lot like Fusion, where Autodesk took all the passable UI and UX from Inventor and replaced it with absolute garbage.

> we now charge users for those blocked requests
I'm so tired of Anthropic's bullshit and I can't believe anyone is willing to support them when they take such user-hostile actions. There's no other industry where a provider can say "we're going to take this job" and then later say "we're not going to give you the deliverables because it might have some of our IP in it, you still have to pay for it though".

Everyone is mentioning crawlers, but wouldn't most traffic from a datacenter's ASN usually be bots just in general given that there's not many humans there to generate human traffic?

It seems fairly obvious that it's meant to be an analogy for ChatGPT only supporting textual outputs until now (disregarding that it had some limited capabilities to show static images).

It looks fine in sRGB, but I can see how it would be bad with the horrid default profiles that monitors ship with. Graphic designers should really be aware of that at this point.

> yet what drives them is not well understood
Presumably the fact that they're heavily trained to reply in this way? I don't know about the rest of the paper, but this part sticks out as a really odd claim unless I'm entirely misunderstanding this part.

When the lines in the ASCII charts don't even line up my immediate assumption is that the author didn't even bother to glance at it.

I suspect they're also losing a lot of university subscriptions after they started advertising how they offer a service to make LLM-written text look human-written, if I recall correctly they even explicitly advertised that you could use it to cheat. I don't know what they were thinking with that marketing campaign given that universities are probably one of their biggest market segments.
