Not convinced here.

Mind, they are not written by LLMs. I would consider that spam, outside of very limited circumstances (maybe a non-english speaker using an LLM for translation).

I really wonder if AI coding is just going to lock us into 2024-ish era languages and libraries forever.

(Although I'm not completely sure this maps onto Anthropic, which was never primarily targeting consumers.)

I wonder if you could use this to make the harness recognize AGENTS.md.

I mean, if Claude actually cures cancer, I do think he'll be right.

The only problem is that you need to actually cure cancer.

The actual problem is that copyright lasts too long. Imagine if copyright was only 13 years. There's obviously no need to destroy anything that's out of copyright. Anything newer than 13 years should either still be in print, or the original author consciously decided to take it out of print, as is their prerogative.

If you haven't already seen it, you might appreciate https://www.anthropic.com/research/global-workspace. That's what this made me think of anyway.

...I'm just asking questions here... how sure are we of this?

If you'd asked me six years ago whether we could compress all of human knowledge into a 1 TB file, I would have said no, and yet here we are.

If you can do 1 TB, why not 30 GB? It's, like, within one order of magnitude.

But Claude is running on someone else's computer, not yours, so it's not Photoshop so much as AWS. Or a rented server farm, if AWS is too new school for you. Of course there's an ongoing cost! And if you configure the server to use more electricity, you get billed more.

If you want to do agentic tooling locally, you can do that—the models aren't quite as good, but they're not bad either. But be warned, for the large models you're going to have to acquire some serious hardware, to the point where you may wish you'd chosen to just rent it instead!

1. The first significant agentic harness was made by Anthropic.

2. One of the most senior developers of client-side software at Anthropic is Felix Rieseberg, one of the original creators of Electron. [1]

3. After Claude Code blew up, everyone else copied Anthropic.
