In Antigravity you choose your agent. I have just switched to Claude Sonnet 4.6 from Gemini Flash 3.5. Bloomin heck. The number of crap assumptions it makes is off the scale. Dumfounded. It appears incapable of doing embedded coding.

So we have robots which will put their hands into a furnace. Robots which will check a lorry for an unexploded bomb. Robots which will clean skyscraper windows and explore the sea floor. Not the sort of job for which there would be a flood of applicants if they were advertised. But there is another fear that robots will replace jobs. Indeed, the heart of what this conference is about is the differing roles of man and machine. What would many Victorians have replied if you had asked them what could be the employment consequences of the replacement of the horse by the internal combustion engine? Disastrous, they would have said. Look at all the coachmen, saddlers, blacksmiths, and stable boys who'd be put out of jobs. Only a few highly skilled people were going to be needed to make car engines. How could you have explained what a traffic light was? Or a motorway service station? Or the extra jobs in tourism, the extra pleasure in travel? It is always possible to identify jobs at risk; it is never possible to predict the creation of jobs which are, by definition, unimaginable.

Until now, items worth €150 or less entered the EU duty-free. That exemption made sense decades ago, when buying from abroad was occasional. Today, billions of parcels flood the EU every year.

I'm beginning to like Antigravity 2. It's early days but finding it quite helpful. It reminds me of that trap we fall into when things are complex. Just make the process more structured and formal then you'll fool yourself into believing you're actually solving problems quicker.
