Harness is the key. I built my own to "talk" our institutional knowledge and it's working great

Same for me, with Claude Opus/Sonnet. All the models are almost equivalent if well steered

I am still on Opus 4.8, with a custom built harness and it works very well even on multi-repos, across stack, deep changes. I also have a very solid test suite which is helping the coding agent a lot

I guess your bubble is limited. Maybe you know that already?

But the AI would not be able to perform live on a stage, producing emotions. I can't imagine staying 3 hours in a crowded room looking at a robot or a computer screen, even if it produces great music. Or if we get to that point, what gives the right and permission for humans to exist anymore?

What if the original idea/concept was from a human, who used an LLM to extend and write the book?

Florida could then be sued because a doctor didn't stop a pregnancy that killed the mother

We should also be cautious to not characterize an article we don't like as slop

As a human, I relate to a few of the article's points. You might not have felt it yet. It will come sooner than you might think

I would venture that you are able to live this life because others are not. What if everyone was growing their own food, and fixing plumbing: who would be a doctor, a snowboard maker, making phones/internet that we rely on to plan/communicate/learn. Its almost impossible to do everything by yourself, unless we go back to the life of our hunting ancestors

It follows Europe's energy policies (declaring nuclear climate-friendly). France is ahead of the US when it comes to civil nuclear plants strategy.

GOP capitalism at its worst: take public money and give it to private interests, without any thoughts of what makes sense.
