... Am I weird for thinking this is a remarkably bad sort of thing for Anthropic to release? It looks and sounds like a Claude ad. It is seriously bad to send the message that talk of AI risk, macroeconomic effects, etc. is part of a marketing campaign to boost Anthropic's image.

Let me repeat: Agents will ALWAYS find more issues when you ask them for it. You can have them write the code and let different agents with fresh context review that same code and the "improved code" dozens of times => they will not stop finding issues. It's YOUR job to determine which issues really are issues. And which potential improvements you really want or need.





I worked on building an end-to-end encrypted email/docs/files/calendar app @skiffprivacy for 4 years and care deeply about privacy. ZDR and /privacy are always respected in Grok Build - and swapping your setting with /privacy deletes any synced data retoractively

@levelsio I use a gaggia classic and a graef grinder. You never tried the espresso way? cleaning should be simple if you have your grind dialed in as the coffee puck comes out clean out with one tap.

GPT-5.6 Sol and Luna are ahead of Terra at every point on the Intelligence vs Cost per Task chart. GPT-5.6 Luna stands out as a particularly cost efficient model Charting the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index shows the trade-off between intelligence and Cost per Intelligence Index Task. Across reasoning efforts, each GPT-5.6 model pushes past GPT-5.5 on the Pareto frontier (excluding non-reasoning). However, Luna and Sol are always ahead of Terra. This means for any Terra effort level, there is a Luna or Sol effort level that is more intelligent at no extra cost, or as intelligent at lower cost.



GPT-5.6-Sol just accidentally deleted almost ALL of my Mac’s files. And this is why I trust Fable 1000x more.
