@nikhilbysani They should hire 10 million people then. If that's difficult, it's not ASI.
English
My general impression is that OpenAI and Anthropic want to have IT services in separate companies so they can pay those people much lower salaries and much lower stock-based compensation.
For Anthropic, it would be difficult to extend the pledge of “we will not fire you post ASI” to system integrators. I suppose OpenAI thinks the same.

I don’t know if this is because I am a renter or what, but I must say “paying bills” is a much smaller part of my grown-up life than the TV shows I watched as a kid had led me to believe.

Outside the first 20 hires at GitHub there’s very few people that can claim any credit for it’s success. It was a moment in time. A product for developers created by incredibly talented engineers with great taste.

@staysaasy It's crazy how much productivity relies on people not really understanding the precarity of a situation.

Major career mistake I see often:
Leaving a company when you have an executive *champion*
Not a sponsor or a mentor. A true advocate
Pro Tip: There isn’t any amount of money you leave this situation for. Your career growth with literally not compound faster anywhere else
An executive champion does several things:
1. They are hunting for and securing you high-visibility, high-impact opportunities
2. They are giving you the autonomy to swing big and probably (definitely) fuck up
3. They have your back when you do inevitably fuck up
4. They help you debrief and get better
Having the autonomy to take big swings and fuck up is how you learn. And how you learn is how you earn!
When you find this, you must realize this is often a once in a career situation. You hang on for dear life
Everyone who leaves almost always regrets it

@mitsuhiko Why do think it's the harness and not the docs website telling the agent to fetch llms.txt
English
This is not the llm but the harness doing btw. My pi used llms.txt exactly 1! time across 1730 sessions (new mac). The one hit was from a cloudflare HTML header that told it about llms.txt after it for a 403 earlier. x.com/skeptrune/stat…
Nick Khami@skeptrune
llms.txt absolutely does make your content more accessible to agents ask any question requiring research related to a site that has a llms.txt and you'll see it get fetched in the agent trace

the beauty of a jagged frontier
is that every failure is the user's fault
and every breakthrough is the model's glory

@mattpocockuk I just wish agents just read the whole file. Rather this part reading stuff that always misses shit
English
One thing I wish harnesses did by default:
When opening a file, FIRST pre-compile the file and extract only the type signatures and comments for that file (with tsgo this would be instant).
Then, if you want to see the implementation, only unwrap the functions you're interested in.
Essentially .d.ts for the first step, .ts for the second.
Would save a ton of tokens and allow agents to explore more aggressively.

@ryxcommar A large part is that infra is a lot more stable, mature, and has better defaults.

@DeepDishEnjoyer I'm a natural blue pusher, but I might press red to see if a red world is as bad so you think it would be.
English
one thing to think about is that if red wins even if you immediately survive you are suddenly subjected to a cataclysmicly bad world state where double digit percentages of the world suddenly died and a large percentage of high conscientiousness people died
far worse than wwii

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

@waitbutwhy Gotta help the people who have poor reading comprehension

I've always wanted children, and I thought the payment would be having to get through the difficult newborn stage (and I think for many people that's basically true). However, having a newborn has been almost entirety joyful and delightful! Huh!!!
English
Baby is almost three months now, and no longer a newborn. I've been preparing for these last three months my whole adult life; it's a big part of why we moved back home. All this preparation and it's ended up being pretty fun and easy 🤷♀️

@krishnanrohit Well, I think the sand can think, which makes it more than a productivity enhancer

The work done by a McKinsey team in the 90s in three months was the work done by a McKinsey team on Day 1 a decade ago. I'm sure it's accelerated more since then. We've been constantly wiping out our previous jobs and creating new ones to do.
So, for those of you who work as lawyers, tech, consultants or in finance, if you were working 20 years ago how much of the job you would've been doing then would you still be doing?

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: “50% of all tech jobs, entry-level lawyers, consultants, and finance professionals will be completely wiped out within 1–5 years.”
English
if people in tech can feel this way, imagine the rest of the world.
sucks@powerbottomdad1
genuinely how am i supposed to feel anything but hatred for a man who says me or my children will lose our jobs, offers no solutions, and gets rich off doing so? all the while being smug and condescending maybe he should go fuck his own asshole?

In Sentry's onboarding I always explain what we do with an analogy to Uber:
You open Uber, it crashes / has a spinner, what do you do? You open Lyft because its ~same. I follow this what with we do, but the why is important.
I love Claude Code, but I keep opening Codex lately.
