It's so creepy in a 2001 Space Odyssey when HAL says " I'm sorry can't do that Dave" I get that often now from @AnthropicAI

Last night I ran the Night Shift on a pretty important sweep: checking my test suite for problems. It found 96 issues in 158 tests. Pretty good work, to be honest. The problems I had it look for: - Reaching into internals to “cheat” - Shortcuts that reduce confidence - Overly-specific / brittle assertions - Tautologies (asserts values it just wrote) - Weak assertions … can’t really fail - Wrong layer (unit testing when the question is integration) - Stubs/mocks that don’t really test real conditions, or fixtures that don’t align with real code (I lean toward using e2e tests wherever possible) - Dead code - “Simulating” multiplayer instead of actually setting up multiple instances and testing for real - Doing redundant setup when one test scaffold would work for multiple related assertions (for test suite speed) I had it first build a catalog of tests, and then work through that with subagents, scoring / providing analysis. And then one by one, with a commit per improvement, it went through and improved each one, running the tests as it went. Well worth the token spend!

I was thinking the other day that AI doesn’t just make you faster at your job. It also makes mistakes faster, confidence cheaper, “looks good to me” wayyy too easy. So what's the real question? It’s whether your team has a system for surviving it.

We are investigating unauthorized access to GitHub’s internal repositories. While we currently have no evidence of impact to customer information stored outside of GitHub’s internal repositories (such as our customers’ enterprises, organizations, and repositories), we are closely monitoring our infrastructure for follow-on activity.

I am now on attempt #15 trying to get @google Flash 3.5 to make the entire @threejs frame render on screen. Not going well so far. It has access to google devtools, it's even taken screenshots that "look" like it's working fine. But it isn't. Fail

I disagree harshly, “No Taxation on my Tokenization!!!”. As we continue to bring the cost of inference down we’ll be saddled with a tax the government now counts on forever and will never want to release that back to us. It will grow massively as a percentage.
We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level. Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens. It will accomplish 4 things (at least ) 1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization Which will 2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption Which will 3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x Which will 4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally. Thoughts ?

Based on responses @jamonholmgren is either the “worst developer on earth” or “fine” 🤣
Yeah good luck searching for "c" in your codebase a month from now

$62B. That's what trial lawyers make every year in the US. ~$31B comes from car crashes. Halve the crash rate and you erase $15B of trial lawyer income overnight. Self-driving cars are going to unclog the courts as well as save lives.

Replying to @AnushDSouzaa
I still don’t understand why people want their tools to have “personality”. I want “robot that writes correct code as quickly and efficiently as possible”.
