We've got to shame this shit until it stops. LLMs are great; don't use them to write for you. Especially not in the first fucking person.

Maybe, but in any case far fewer than will rely on a fixed page. I think very clearly it'd be a net-pain lowering move for example.com to randomize the results a bit, if they felt like it.

It was fine until a few releases ago, then they rewrote it, and it sucks now. Had to give it that SwiftUI magic.

Yeah that's fair, though my understanding (perhaps wrong!) is Tesla unlike Waymo doesn't need super-detailed maps; it could in theory go across the state right now (but it doesn't have legal authorization).

(In Austin it covers what looks to me like the whole city but not the surrounding smaller towns.)

Yeah that's a good point -- I'm not sure, but it definitely felt like there was no remote control going on, just based on smoothness and speed. But for sure the ability exists, so good pts re true autonmy and scaling.

Isn't Tesla already there?

I took a fully-autonomyous Cybercab to a coffee shop yesterday; it doesn't even have a steering wheel. It was just a short drive, but it handled various complications (a garbage truck, double-parked cars, construction, unpainted speed bumps) with aplomb. The driving felt extremely smooth and human-like (better, in my experience, than Waymo, which can still be a bit jerky).

GLM 4.7 is gone (at least for us), with no suitable replacement from Cerebras. I think all they care about now is hardware and OpenAI hosting.

This is neat! Would love the ability to make "true noon" be at the top of the clock, instead of 12.

Years and years ago I saw this story on k5 when it came out and never read it -- but from commentary I always thought was some sort of hard sci-fi exploration of what happens when we get AGI/ASI.

So all these years later AI is real, I see the story again, and I figure, hey, why not read it. And how very surprised I was to find out it's basically a horny kink story with a little bit of AI/SF window dressing!

It's exactly because everyone's tone is different that I'm confident it's AI.

Granted, a bit of AI-influencing phrasing in human writing is common, but the idea that someone sat down, worked hard, and came back with an entire page of a pitch-perfect AI slop is simply incredible.

You're too kind. It's obviously AI copy, and a huge negative signal (to me, anyway).

Don't worry, we'll get there soon enough.

Have you tried iterating on style feedback in AGENTS.md? I've been reasonably successful using this to get it to output code in a terse, non-defensive style that matches my hand-written code.

Reload should fix (did for me).
