claude code "auto-mode" uses a smaller sonnet-like model for classifying, which means it's basically dumb, and the harness biases it into denials

> nowadays selling your tesla involves the new owner identifying themselves and uploading their identity documents to tesla.

wait does this mean you cannot buy a used tesla anonymously (to tesla), not the reseller (?)

If so, that's crazy

It's also a great "telephone" between the low-ranks and the C-suite if the comms are broken on a company.

meaning: If your boss won't bother to ask it's own employees or trust their feedback, he might choose a well kept, well presented third party to gather that feedback from their employees, and then package it nicely with some cool logos and slides and decks, and charge you a shit ton of money out of it.
