Big Chemical is the new tobacco and always has been.

What has Meta or Google done in comparison to Dow, Bayer, and DuPont?

Agents are more like employees, compilers are more like calculators.

In some ways yes, in some ways no.

To me at least, somehow KOTOR and KOTOR 2 made me care more about the characters and story than BG3.

BG3 has better systems and combat and gear and such, but for many the worldbuilding, story, quests and such of KOTOR have yet to be beaten. Bastia Shan, Carth Onasi, Visas Marr, HK47.

The story of Revan and its twists.

Perhaps its just nostalgia and many KOTOR fans having been at an earlier age when they played those Bioware games compared to DOS 2 and BG3 though. Maybe people who were teenagers playing Larian games feel as attached to the characters and story as those of us who were teens in KOTOR's heyday did.

> regulations around flammable clothes, bedding and mattresses

Yes, regulation that increased the proliferation of known carcinogens and endocrine disruptors in our households and pressed up against our spouses and children's skin and orifices.

Maybe I'll take the wrought iron fire escape.

Often much more uncomfortable since they are much thicker, no?

A lot of other people are not just asking for features, they are asking for products or new programming languages or new web browsers or a robot that can wash the dishes and so on. They tell the agent to help write the plan and figure out the questions they aren't even thinking to ask, the tasks they aren't even thinking to plan, and so on.

Their input is just working on the "plan" itself, the spec or the request, iteratively, and so on, while the AI works fulltime on automating the delivery of that thing, improving the systems that are delivering that thing, asking questions about what exactly is being built and how it should work, and so on.

A lot of the difference in how people experience AI is ambition and scope and how much you just tell the AI to 'automate your factory factory' in Factorio terms vs 'hand mine the coal and hand-craft the science packs' in Factorio terms.

EG, if you don't know how you'd speed up the process of building a web browser from scratch (compared to the current way you've been working with agents), you would ask your agent to help you figure it out and design that process itself, rather than just try to do what you're currently doing on a larger scale. You'd literally prompt "how can we make it realistic to build a whole browser when I've been just sitting here planning small changes with you" and then let it act on its response.

you don't store durable information or state in your context windows, it gets written to files or a database. agent swarms have a harness or role that helps them retrieve the necessary context from those durable information systems when and how they are needed.

I'm sorry but if you can finish spec'ing via 10 minutes of interview style questions, you're building to-do apps or a bloons TD clone not the next thing that replaces search engines.

> The problem is that if they do that, the DSA will continue to sit out elections. And no matter who they nominate, they'll be presented as an extremist socialist. You lose nothing by nominating an actual socialist.

And if they do so, they will allow another Trump to take power, who does more to move the country and world in the opposite direction of their cause than any center left dem ever would.

It seems to me like both Gala and Lisette are fairly safe to invest in for small projects that you'd otherwise write Go in assuming you have the token budget and patience to be able to as ask an agent to make the generated Go more idiomatic afterwards / do a native Go rewrite if needed.

I'm still not sure if I would rather test out Gala or Lisette or both, I appreciate hearing you've had a positive experience with Lisette!

What are you talking about? What do you call a side panel in a GUI that lets you switch between interacting with different agent sessions while mutliple of them are actively working?
