<p>> an annoying personality<p>I was with you until there. Qwen and the OpenAI models are great, aggressive agents, but they’re not as good as the anthropic models for human interaction. They just don’t have the subtlety, understanding, or attention to detail.</p>

<p>IMO, if you "put a quick note in AGENTS.md" then you should expect a cache miss.<p>I think that is reasonable and intuitive.<p>That was the first complaint I came across in the article and it made me question the level of indignation of the whole thing.</p>

<p>Um, the 'codex world' is the OpenAI world and there is a ton of drama and product confusion there!<p>Anthropic has certainly had some drama inflicted on them by the US administration, but otherwise they have just had heads down and executed with great focus. That is why they have succeeded.</p>

<p>This looks great, but let's see if I have this right ...<p>The "Agent Apps" (or whatever we are calling them) from the big vendors are organized around projects/folders, and we attach apps (via plugins) to the projects.<p>This appears to mae the apps (work surfaces) the primary artifact?</p>

<p>I don’t know the specifics of this case, but in Canada, calls like this (all wrapped up in the flag), usually come from Canadian companies hoping for some sort of sole sourced contract that they have no business getting.<p>So so perhaps we should be excluding American companies at this time, but in the name of competition and openness, we should allow bids from our real allies, such as the Europeans or the Asians.</p>

<p>> Anthropic and OpenAI could fight it in court.<p>They did exactly that with supply chain risk designation, and look what it got them: the administration simply found another more effective way to punish them.</p>

<p>> This amount of courting the current administration is pretty scary imo.<p>That’s ironic – I interpreted that paragraph with the opposite slant: positively. If that’s what the government mandates then these companies, in the end, have little choice, so was at least relieved to see them publicly pushing back.</p>

<p>> We don’t believe this kind of government access process should become the long-term default.<p>Really glad to see some reasonably prominent pushback against this government overreach.<p>The information has been reporting that the government wants to individually approve which companies get access and when.<p>Imagine the wonderful opportunities for corruption and influence peddling, not to mention, excluding any companies that don’t support Trump</p>

<p>You are running a binary that you got from the developer. If it presented you with Deno permissions, I think that would be misleading because there’s no guarantee of their integrity.</p>

<p>I think you’re referring to the short term impacts of AI and he’s thinking more long-term.<p>Also, AI, even short term, is going to make some people and some countries extremely wealthy, so maybe this isn’t such a bad time to be thinking about those who are still extremely poor and who won’t benefit.</p>
