Glancing over the methodology[1] made me curious about three things:

1. Is there a benchmark measuring how much better an LLM performs when you tell it "you are an X"?

2. Does telling an AI agent "you are an AI agent" actually help? Is it the LLM equivalent of reminding a senior developer they're a senior developer, making them feel guilty about being lazy and finally getting them to do their job?

3. What happens when the persona conflicts with the task? If you tell it "you are a PM" and then ask it to write code, does it struggle? Produce worse code? Spawn a sub-agent and tell it they're a senior developer?

In 2025 Microsoft reported $101.8 billion net income for $281.7 billion in revenue[1]. If Microsoft has a profit margin of 36.2% with "too many employees doing not enough or quality work", then it shouldn't be unreasonable to expect profits of 50% without said employees, right? Right?

Of course a roadster is not the car to "drop kids and get groceries". I think op was not trying to imply that. But Musk stated his big plan was to sell an expensive roadster in order to afford building an affordable car. That was 20 years ago. The closest it ever got was a promise of a 35K Model 3 which at launch cost 50K. So, yeah, from that perspective, op's comment is relevant.

Dacia Spring is around 20.000 €‎ in Europe. LE: I realise you're not in Europe, so my comment is not very useful — on the contrary.

MS was playing the long game long before everyone else even knew they were in a game. Ha!

I no longer like Elon and Tesla but, damn, that's a great looking Lamborghini, and a cool stunt to launch it!

Remember when you asked 2012 Maps for directions to the supermarket, and it’d tell you to drive off a bridge? Looks like they finally integrated it into 2026 Siri!

Good thing Siri and Alexa are going through a phase, otherwise Siri would’ve added that LSD to your Amazon shopping list!

I trust Meta with my codes as much as I trust it with my nudes

If I read you correctly, you are both arguing with me and in my favour.

I think you're mistaken

> No one is clamoring for an electric $50K VW Rabbit (VW Golf).

I don't know if anyone's clamouring, but ysk there exists a $50K PHEV Golf

I think you're mistaking status for fashion.
