Right now, yes. Eventually, we will have sufficiently capable local models that run on ordinary machines.

It doesn't have to be world-ending. Autonomous, malicious agent swarms are something we haven't had to deal with. What does mitigation of a malicious, self-replicating swarm worm look like? We will find out soon enough.

A Meta ecosystem is definitely not coming to my household.

They're the exception, not the rule. They get crawled like any other site, but happen to host git repositories. It's not obvious that these are targeted crawls and they likely may just end up in crawling queues a lot generally

I returned to hand-written notebooks. None of these knowledge management frameworks ever worked for me. Sure my agents have their own semantic memory system but I’m not an agent.

Because these productivity increases will be to the detriment of the average person. We won’t get to reap the benefits.

You don’t think there are causes worth fighting for? Or that deterrence is immoral? Help me understand.

>I don’t know how I could work in any of these military industry companies.

You'd sing a different song quite quickly once the threat stops being abstract as you don't get to free-ride on the security a defense industry provides.

It's part of a constantly evolving ecosystem. It's a stable product because reliability engineers make it so and software engineers get the integrations right.

>What on earth do you do with that many devs on a project like Messenger? I mean, really?

What makes you think it's a simple system to develop at scale?

>Having said that, some components need to live outside the sandbox (otherwise, who creates the sandbox?).

I run a single-node k3d cluster on each of my MacBooks which uses Agent Sandbox[0] to keep harnesses isolated. Harnesses access models through LiteLLM only. I have aliases for `kubectl exec`ing into whatever harness I need.

Fully agree, I only pay the minimum for frontier models to get DeepSeek v4 output reviewed. I don't see this changing either because we have reached a level of good enough at this point.

>On March 4, we changed Claude Code's default reasoning effort from high to medium to reduce the very long latency—enough to make the UI appear frozen—some users were seeing in high mode

Instead of fixing the UI they lowered the default reasoning effort parameter from high to medium? And they "traced this back" because they "take reports about degradation very seriously"? Extremely hard to give them the benefit of doubt here.

They are building infrastructure components that they will soon wire together with an orchestration layer. Managed agents, scheduled tasks, workflow webhook automation.

This is a really verbose way to say that using generative AI has a detrimental effect on the user because one deprives themselves of the learning experience.

No because the technology will be used against you.

The argument isn't that LLMs are bad because they can hallucinate. Author (clearly) argues that LLM use has negative cognitive effects on their users and on society as a whole. Plus, the technology would wipe out a large, large number of jobs.
