This is the answer and we should not push on it for our own protection. You click a link that takes you to a poorly secured website that leaks sensitive data, without intent protections, you could be accused of crimes.

Luna is really good model that would have been super SOTA at the beginning of the year and its basically free at these prices.

This is a step beyond baseless predictions. Tao also had a "weird" "hypothetical" comment about LLMs solving complex proofs with impossible to human verify Lean.

The study is "new", but the data they are using is old. It has references GPT-4 for god sake.

I understand the struggle, but I feel like so many of these projects are going to ban AI contributions right before it starts getting undeniably better than humans.

The fundamental flaw in all these style arguments against core employment is people's personal desire to have a straight forward path for survival that doesn't involve a lot of strategic thought.

Its hard for highly intelligent people to understand that others simply DGAF. They just want their paycheck and they don't want to think about it deeply.

Thought leaders have existed since the dawn of human history. There were always scuffles at the top, but there were plenty of people that just went about their business, filling their roles and doing their jobs for the tribe.

Agents are getting good but professing they are surpassing you in domain and architectural knowledge with no special prompting is basically self reporting at this point. That could be your job wasn't that complicated or your personal knowledge wasn't that strong, either way, same result.

Don't get me wrong, I am sure we will get to all three of these pillars, probably by next year. I am not naive.

Hopefully we never do something silly like making a lead pushing machine that operates at high velocity, then mass produce it, what a terrible precedence that would set.

Anecdotal, of course, but the biggest change I ever made in my life was right before bed: take a screaming hot shower with dim lighting. I'd say 95% of the time, I get in bed and just pass out and have no real memory of time passing before falling asleep.

Same reason why two companies have the same idea, one goes viral and one doesn't. Public opinion matters even if its illogical at times.

Their concerns weren't completely off base, I think they just over estimated how much it would really matter in the grand scheme.

When you cannot win, you regulate the scoreboard. This is why Europe keeps getting lapped. They mistake control for competence. They cannot build platforms at scale, so they try to govern everyone else’s.

If your co-workers are getting promotions and raises and you are not, its a you problem. If someone else is getting credit for your work, its a you problem. Given your claims of impeccable work, we are only left to assume its a personality issue.

Its not to say its fair or right, but life is a popularity contest, whether we like it or not. More likeable people get more things, sometimes undeservingly so.

strangescript — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 03:54:17 +0000

If you read the PR, the bad issues are in a few extensions, not the bot itself. The unencrypted oAuth token isn't really a big deal. It should be fixed but its a "if this box is compromised" type thing. Given the nature of clawdbot, you are probably throwing it on a random computer/vps you don't really care about (I hope) without access to anything critical.

I find gpt-oss 20b very benchmaxxed and as soon as a solution isn't clear it will hallucinate.

Not really an apples to apples comparison. You are comparing it to core technologies that millions of things sit on. There will always be money for that.

New comment by strangescript in "Why senior engineers let bad projects fail"

strangescript — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 01:29:50 +0000

Its almost never correct to rip on a project from a distance. Only two things can happen, one, you are wrong, and the project succeeds. This is a personal catastrophe for your career at that company. Two, you are correct and the project fails. Its rare this will get you enough credibility to make the risk worth it. There are always others that will show up and dogpile as if they "knew" the entire time themselves. You need to be consistently correct about failure to get truly noticed, but then it asks a lot of questions. Why are you still working there? Why don't you have enough influence to prevent it in the first place? "I told you so" rarely accomplishes anything good.
