ShareYourAISetup folks create a skill that user can run locally that collects information re their setup, formats it and sends to dedicated endpoint. Result = fairly uniform reports where people share what they're comfortable sharing.

No requirement from given user to spend their time. Users see what the skill does.

I guess atm they dont know what questions they want to be asking

What even is this shit? Every time I interact with models they do that, or any other variation of "let me make decisions on my own just to get the task done" - is all of this misalignment now? The most egregious to me was when model asked itself if it should proceed with dangerous command, gave itself approval and then wiped my local DB.

What can I even do with this report? "Our models don't follow what users ask them to do", no shit sherlock.

Right, so really any fresh file is more or less fine (would still evaluate cyclomatic complexity). It's the quantity/frequency of changes that matters (or CRAP)

> If the change adds a complex function to an empty file, it's likely just a complex single problem.

How do you determine that this is correct = adding complexity to a single file vs adding less complexity to multiple files that this one file then orchestrates.

That's why I tell my Claude to keep its responses short :V

Then why wouldn't they use a bulletin board that is dead? And according to https://collusion.wiki/ OpenAI did see the results on this board on 21 Jul, so why not make agents delete their traces?

I'm dubious - if the agents were so smart that they've used a message board to coordinate and if they were to do it on other message boards that were not found, then why would this one be found? What makes it so different?

Is it just me, or is it advertising? "Look at how smart our models are, they used this website to coordinate and share guidelines!"

I can see porn on x.com without any issues (this is from top of my head regarding widely known websites that show adult content without any checks)

On the flipside, I cannot buy any adult orientated games on Steam, because I don't have a credit card

Dependable.

I love that Gibsons cyberpunk is "realistic" and mundane (at this point): a girl replaces a virtual singer (Mona Lisa Overdrive), another girl steals glasses containing plans for urban redevelopment (Virtual Light), virtual world is as inhabited as real one and you only need helmet to access it (Pattern Recognition). We already are living with these stories and dystopia is already here, to a degree.

Be the change you want to see :)

I've created myself a pre-commit harness hook to explicitly discard superfluous or too lengthy comments. Within code-review I also added comment review as blockers

Tests would have caught it = https://github.com/rhysd/actionlint injection check

The problem is that while I'm more efficient while utilising LLMs, I'm given more work. This is nothing new - it's just more spinning plates at the same time; previously though I'd just say "I have so many things I'm doing, I cannot accept anything more". Now I've more tasks that I'm waiting for response and need to keep track of.

It's interesting that I had to close 3 popups just to read this article, two of them were for tracking cookies

I'm looking at these reports and then at my sessions with Claude. In latest one, it got stuck in a loop fixing one thing and breaking another for 10 iterations, until I've noticed and gave it the insight. Or where it started continuously writing "echo", I don't know for what purpose. And I ask how, how can you not be the driver; how can you let these agents roam free and actually accomplish things.

It's not cynical - I read it like that as well. My agent is more dangerous than your agent and all that jazz

Lol if Trump is convicted of treason because some researchers didn't get a grant

Are you suggesting that Europeans should continuously use third party models be it American, Chinese or whatever?

The only place it make sense to me is the validation = at the route level you want to ensure that the given model exists / request attributes defining relationship (pivot), are there. This is how Laravel does this. Having said that this should be responsibity of domain rather than application

Mostly agree with the author. Would add, most importantly, dont trust anything LLM does or says. Today I asked Claude to uniform behaviour of 3 components. I asked to do it 5 times, because at the end of each go there was something still unaligned that Claude found a way to rationalize. Sure - when asked the way it would say "This is on me", or "I thought it was a concious choice". Not once did it surface a question on what to do, nor did it mention any of the issues. So yeah, short leash, look at its thinking, correct his shit. This is today, Sonnet 5. Probably tomorrow it will be better or worse - thats another thing. The way you talk to Claude today will give you different results tomorrow

Same; the most infuriating parts - Claude caused the issue and Claude misdiagnosed the issue, making me spend more time than if I was debugging it myself.

Yes and no.

If I were to ask you - what convention you want to follow for your database columns - camelcase or snakecase? There's no correct global answer. There's no overarching truth that should apply to all databases in existence (even if you'll focus on a certain type of database). Hence the no.

But yes, because in the context of existing system there is a convention. If it's snakecase, you create new tables with snakecase column names.

LLMs will generally follow conventions, but sometimes they will not, because indeed - global truths (or at least, the "last article it read" truths) sometimes win over (I assume)

I agree and indeed externalize everything you know *that matters*.

Want to follow certain pattern, or convention - define it, ie active record vs repository pattern, stick is as an ADR! You don't know what you want? Look at what Claude produces and then acquire taste, mark this as convetion that future sessions will follow, but stick to *one* convention!

Treat your LLMs as junior developers willing to apply various patterns willy nilly, caring only about fulfilling the ACs of given task and not about the longevity or well being of the system in general. They will not look at bigger picture to check if given pattern applies globally, or even if there are any other patterns.

> They conflate domain expertise with coding expertise, and then assess that people with domain expertise demonstrate great success at coding tasks

I didn't read it as such - I read that people with expertise have more success in reaching the goal of the session. Still your point stands = how is this news?

What baffles me, is that expertise of writing code is not important and is hand waved away = non-technical person can reach their goal and the session will be deemed successful. They don't conflate that domain expert = developer, and they dismiss that expertise (ie. updating legal rules matters, not how they are implemented) so i'm confused. Shouldn't both matter?

I'm tired of people not taking responsibility for things they do and not being held accountable for their actions - politicians mostly; for example - currently in Poland there's a controversy around Zondacrypto (read here: https://www.politico.eu/article/a-missing-investor-millions-...); I'm so disillusioned that I believe nothing will come out of it - it will again be a case of "nobody did it, it just a thing that happened". Or our politicians escaping to Hungary (and USA) to avoid prosecution (and still being paid out money even though they're not in Poland and cannot possibly attend parlamentary sessions) where they'll live to spew hatred and how they were wronged. Sure, you did nothing wrong and these are just repressions, nevermind the millions that you stole during political campaign.

And generally people thinking about themselves and not considering that we're living in society: "let me blast music so that walls shake and fuck neighbours", "let me just leave my mattress here on the curb blocking the path, somebody will pick it up", "let me not clean after my dog shitting on the sidewalk", "I'm seeing people queuing to get on a train, let me just not notice the queue", "let me just walk down the street with my eyes on the phone, surely other people will accomodate me and get out of my way". This is the variation of the above, but to the civic level; just don't make lives of others harder.

Is it enshittification, or is USA simply turning into fascist state?

Leaving this here, as I couldn't leave it on authors blogpost:

I grew accustomed to these choices, so would navigate through them on autopilot. Once I was quick enough to get "We noticed suspicious activity indicating that you're a bot"; had to retry everything from beginning and hesitate when clicking :)

Ah, I see what you mean now. Yes, my mind went straight to static analysis and testing (unit, feature, uat, mutation). Thanks for expanding on your point!
