<p>Many of us have the exact same thought process. Related: I have heard indie game developers have stopped the traditional practice of updating a dev log as a form of marketing and community building because people will point their LLm at it and create your own game before you do</p>

<p>Zhuangzi was fishing in the Pu River when the King of Chu sent two high officials to him. They said, “The king wishes to entrust you with the affairs of his realm.”<p>Zhuangzi kept hold of his fishing rod and did not turn around. He said, “I have heard that in Chu there is a sacred turtle that has been dead for three thousand years. The king keeps it wrapped in cloth, enclosed in a box, and stored in the ancestral temple.<p>“Now, would this turtle rather have died and left its bones behind to be honored, or would it rather be alive, dragging its tail through the mud?”<p>The two officials replied, “It would rather be alive, dragging its tail through the mud.”<p>Zhuangzi said, “Then go away. I too will drag my tail through the mud.”</p>

<p>the thing is about some of these things, like sub-agents, is that any implementation of sub-agents is going to be extremely opinionated, so it would never make sense to be in pi out of the box.</p>

<p>Currently, because of the subsidies from the frontier models, demand is mostly for higher intelligence.<p>If subsidies do end, demand for price efficiency per unit of intelligence will go way up.And because there's many players in the market, this demand should be met by at least some of them.</p>

<p>I have been experimenting with dissassembly and rewrite of 90s dos games in Rust.<p>It's not something I have experience in so I rely heavily on the models setting the direction and automating the work.<p>It's something where the level of intelligence has a huge impact. I still haven't succeeded, it's mostly an experiment for me to test the edges of model capabilities and see how they tackle such a hard problem.</p>

<p>honest question, because it's something I don't understand well. is it possible the quantity of job openings can mask the quality of jobs openings? if job openings at fast food restaurants goes up 1000% maybe this isn't positive</p>
