You tell this as if the Universities and departments where the research happened didn’t place themselves in ivory towers.

Pedigree mattered in academia. Gatekeeping was always rampant. So to a bystander like me this makes no difference.

Then point it to the Anthropic docs. Only place with reliable info. Look at their opus 5.5 prompting guide.

The best places where I get this info is from the ai engineer YouTube channel and Claude’s YouTube channel.

For effective harness engineering you need to also read the detailed prompting guide for each model. We are back at a place where every model revision introduces harness optimizations that need to happen.

You seem to be doing all the right things though. The tldr is treat your agent to be a precocious kid and the job of the harness is to helicopter parent it without the kid realizing it’s being parented.

The irony is that he’s still very very wrong in my opinion. He’s lamenting the end of math, but it’s not a stretch to think that math is just the beginning. Like the destruction of the buoy before the tsunami actually hits land. His current stance seems to be implicating that the blast radius is only till math or science when it’s just the first domino.

As far as I can tell, the AI team assembled in Apple has a fundamental instinct problem and I was hoping that the exodus earlier this year will fix it, but looks like it did not.

What would realistically be a ballpark expense for basic living (I assume you mean food water and power)

An ec2 or vps. But no sandbox can solve the problem that a true powerful harness would need access to the source of your information like slack and jira.

It’s not a kid, they’re 30 now looks like.

People made the exact same argument for years where Facebook stock stayed around 20 bucks post ipo. I did too and sold like an idiot!

This is not very international. Firstly DEI is apparently nongrata in the US now. On top of it GHC got a terrible reputation in recent years.

If you think about it that’s more likely than any other explanation.

Smart people can do dumb things. Their LinkedIn profile looks typical for an OpenAI engineer.

We also don’t know if this person did it under duress.

They made the judgement call to make private accounts free before the onslaught of AI. Now every coding agent is using GitHub as their file system backend and pushing it to limits no one has heard of.

If Microsoft had brains they would leverage it to become the de facto file system for all ai agents before cursor or anthropic figure it out.
