Off topic I know but, the BBC has adopted this clickbaity title pattern of “what we know so far about x” for the last year or so and it really jars me. Especially when x is very serious and involves people dying. It’s like an amateur tictoc’er is in charge of headlines at the moment.

> "Adding agents to a project with unclear requirements gets you the wrong answer faster."

The thing is it gets you the wrong answer so fast it’s now the best way to figure out the right requirements.

Dangle the shiney thing to get everyone’s attention and sell the hell out of the very normal thing. This is basic startup marketing and say what you want about Elon, but he owns this skill, it’s why he’s the worlds richest person.

In the uk it was Craig Charles of red dwarf fame, renowned funk and soul DJ and robot wars host. It was brilliant.

I’m not sure I agree that the frontier just know the apis right now, in my experience trying this there’s still a lot of faffing around trying to figure out the right parameters happily burning tokens and bloating context. Also the cost effective models to use in production for real agentic enterprise work absolutely still need the extra help and will do for at least the next 6 months.

If independent coffee shops serve decent coffee in a good environment with friendly service, they 100% do not need to be on Instagram.

> They took actions that would be considered as crimes if a human took them

So like, the people behind the LLMs didn’t commit a crime? Wow! “It was the llm your honour, not me!”

Also still haven’t moved on from the iPhone 12 - it’s a beast. I’ve dropped it thousands of times. Refuses to die or break. I think we’re due another mini run. They seem to come every 5-6 years.

Yeh it’s the hypocrisy of the people that follow religion but also religion in general requiring you to deeply believe a version of a story, whilst rejecting other religions version of that story. I know “rejecting” is in the realm of fundamentalists, but even moderate believers will trust their version over others when in reality all these stories can be traced back to the exact same source story. I knew this was true for mono-theistic religions, but I’m amazed it can apply even outside of those bounds.

I find it incredible how many people have died in the name of minor variations in their monotheistic beliefs that are all based on the same foundational stories and yet here is a one of those foundational stories that has totally non-theistic source. I struggle with the hypocrisy of religion sometimes.

“Other platforms” - social media sites? If so this != “everything on the internet”
