I think that it is just up to taking responsibility of your output which can be the key factor into what I call authenticity, because what I am seeing is people not take responsibility of AI generated output and sometimes even push it to production.

Tangentially, hackernews itself is sometimes filled with 100% AI slop articles/posts which is a bit sad... :-(

The latest term for this in the AI-hype-sphere seems to be "intent" but I like to call it authenticity behind who the person is behind any output perhaps IMO.

An article that I had written sometime ago: https://smileplease.mataroa.blog/blog/i-dont-want-brand-age-...

Simon's article about taking responsibility also is an interesting read and I still like his mostly nuanced opinions rather than complete AI hype which is a bit rare. I respect both simon and mitchell and their opinions for the most part regarding things in this space and its always good to have a discussion with them.

Edit: I have edited my post to explain better as to what I was saying.

I do think that I have the privilege for doing exactly that as I am going to college and many people within the workforce don't exactly have that choice but I believe that long term, the consequences of completely using AI for anything and everything is going to bite, so I am comfortable for the next 4 years to come.

It's not that I dislike AI the tech, but I hate AI, everything surrounding it. We have the abilities to ask it customized questions to learn so much which we previously couldn't have, (Yes AI is still sycophantic and one can say that its a better search engine) but instead, we are using it to completely automate ourselves or creating a set of expectations and ineffectiveness around the competent management around it.

My purpose: I don't think that there's one. We all just exist and I don't wish to die. So I have constructed my purpose around staying alive as an absolute baseline. Everything is built on top of it.

I think that my purpose is to feel alive probably which requires passion,dedication,failure/struggle, acceptance and perhaps friendship and love. I recently heard a line which struck with me is that: "Life has so much to offer, why are we stuck at only one emotion of happiness, why not just be alive"

I want to do better and be more competitive for the sake of it because I like doing the thing and improving at it.

Thus, I wish to code for myself, nothing else, except eating french fries of course :)

Do you have anything for pi in general as well? I have currently tried out oh-my-pi and (well previously opencode) and I know about https://zot.sh for something completely in golang and also https://maki.sh/ both of which are created by another HN user.

I have found projects created by frequent HN users (in terms of how much they interact with the site) to be genuinely useful/interesting within this space as compared to complete hype. I might bet there to be a very significant overlap and thus, it might be a good filter for these AI projects.

Now aside from this one of the things that I want is I have found opencode + obra/superpowers to be a bit token intensive but its much more hands driven development and the AI doesn't completely go amok. I basically just want to replicate something like this either in pi or rust/golang alternative of it as well and then to use it completely with mobile phone as a means of interaction using say matrix protocol. (Optionally: I have glm 5.2 previous coding subscription where the rate limits is actually 5 hour rolling window rather than weekly so I would like to make it re-run/continue automatically after the 5 hour window on a project just continously to build on the side to use those tokens and just building something in an AFK fashion.)

This might be my ideal workflow, Given that Pi is extensible, I think that Opencrow/your fork of it can be useful in one of the pieces of this ideal workflow. I'd be genuinely curious as it wasn't until quite recently that I went from my minimalist model of defaults to customizations/skills.md and I am just dabbling on different levels of complexity to find out what makes the right sense of having complexity towards on.

My naive interpretation would be to build tools which other companies want to use but its a bit of chicken and egg problem and maybe these directories help in fixing the issue in the first place of this problem.

Also, with LLM's, I imagine that there are some websites which use AI for writing texts but the thing is that I'd much prefer my things to not be mentioned by them even if it increases the SEO because I'd prefer not my product if I build one when searched to be filled with slop results, and also, everyone is within the rush for gold mines and so we are forgetting writing for the sake of it but there are few people who write blogs for the sake of writing.

Perhaps I recommend looking at some blogging websites and asking them to test your website but this isn't company blog. I think that is a high bar to achieve but I wish you look in doing so and hope someone who's more experienced in SEO can answer it for ya.

The behaviour by NousResearch is a bit bad (if I am understanding it correctly, I can be wrong, I usually am) but given its an open source project. I don't think that accredition makes a project bad and I simply don't understand the rationale behind a lot of it and streissand effect is starting to kick in the more they might be trying to hide it.

Why not just accredit EvoMap's Evolver or come up with an official statement or have a proper discussion between the two teams

I am not sure but I recommend looking at the size of deepseek flash as well to see if it can work for you, perhaps GLM 5 Air model is also around this size.

and if you want something at the larger models scale, then you have glm 5.2, kimi k2.7,mimo v2.5 pro and deepseek v4

I presume that Theranos had some talented people as well and some strong figures back at its time as well. It isn't the strongest of indicators.

It's been a really long time since I heard the name of Midjourney again. their name got a bit unheard of after LLM models like Chatgpt and nano banana started supported image generation, so I am unsure if this is being done to get known again or to pivot from image generation itself.

There are tons of factors which make me a bit skeptic about the whole ordeal.

At the end perhaps I will sound un-knowledgable and technically I am because there is just so much to learn in world! but my opinion on AI has started to faze into an: "I don't know man"

so... that doesn't meaningfully add to people's life anything. What they want is validation, that either they are right about using AI and they can print millions with it or that they are right about AI and its all a fad and how they are right for not using it and falling into the trap.

So both these views get algorithm'd to people in their own feeds, especially completely pro AI psychosis. They interact with the polarizing think-piece and they achieve their goal of monetization or what-not.

This is my opinion on social media, you can find nuanced opinions but its like finding needle in hay-stack.

I want to be honest here and say this, there is a difference in using AI as well. For example, I really like to use AI to automate other people's work if I see someone doing some work. I really just think of (any) technology which can help automate or do anything which can help them or just out of curiosity, and I also build things for fun and for my own use cases.

but at the same time, I am against the fact of using AI in software industry as I have found enough evidence that aside from prototyping, it can still fall short in numerous things. I have found anecdotal evidence where tech engineers are expected to get 10x and then burn out and personally called out if they are honest ie. honesty isn't favoured yet other employees are working till late night just to do the things that they have promised.

What the fuck is this. Management doesn't even probably know or if they know, they might as well leave it knowingly unknown because this allows them to get work easier... I wish to use stronger words like exploitation as well because that is what is happening to engineers or designers or many other people just about in general.

Basically, although the intelligence metric has skyrocketed and intelligence might've become commoditized. I am unsure what is left behind or the lateral expectations left behind if we are all expected to be less honest and be more 10x engineers while that is simply not possible if you are actually good after a point. There's so much nuance that gets lost in these discussions imo but I have tried to give some nuance that I have seen personally visible talking to people online and offline.

my interpretation is similar to mitchell's that there are influential people within tech (jobs,influencers and just about anything) who are genuinely and utterly convinced with AI psychosis.

If you create a non-deterministic tech that is so powerful to psychosis people (who well should know better) then, it creates for problems down the line and you are just a side-effect of that. Especially, lately it seems that most AI is directed towards investors and not consumers (There is HN post trending about it essentially)

So well, you are just side-product of a larger psychosis. I believe that the tech is cool and it has genuine use-cases and many things but there has to be nuanced opinions about it but we as humans are similar to computers in this one thing that we want either 1 and 0 and can't capture this particular nuance perhaps.

Fable model being removed from Anthropic because of security concerns by the US government (or well, also partially because of the personal vendetta between US govt and Anthropic)

Interesting thing actually. Seems similar to the trend in South Korea recently where you can online shop to get the thrill of shopping but you aren't actually paying with money.

But I am unsure of the overlap between manifold and polymarket/kalshi. I imagine that some might win in manifold and try to bet on polymarket to win "real" money which ends up being a bit gambling-esque.

But good for manifold for atleast not playing with real money but rather points like this. I would argue that Manifold might be better than polygon/kalshi in terms of net positive outcome of its existence for the world perhaps.

just wow, people seem to be having too much money it seems for them to bet over when RFC's are gonna get released.

This isn't even one of the worst offenders on prediction market or even comparable to it but I am just amazed (in a negative manner, surprised? its just strange) by the depth on what people actually bet on these markets.

To all people on Hackernews, I am curious as to what agent harness are you using it with.

Previously I was using opencode and then I switched to using Opencode + obra/superpowers and creating custom skill.md themselves for it. I found things to take more time and intervene more but the result of it has been that I have found it to work better.

Now I have also started using oh-my-pi as well and I found it to be faster compared to Opencode.

I am unsure how much of there is a difference to it and how much of things are placebo but what is your opinion regarding the best Agent harness for GLM 5.2?
