But what if the AI agent has a 5% chance of adding a bug to that feature? Surely before any feature was completely bug free

Yeah it’s all trade offs. If it means I get to where I want to be faster, even if it’s imperfect, so be it.

Humans aren’t without flaws; prior to coding assistants, I’ve lost count of the times my PM telling me to rush things at the expense of engineering rigor. We validate or falsify the need for a feature sooner and move on to other things. Sometimes it works sometimes a bug blows up in our faces, but things still chug along.

This point will become increasingly moot as AI gets better at generating good code, and faster, too.


What is the chance that you add a bug?

It is the same with the global financial system

Merger Monday in five, four, three...

For the CLI > MCP folks: https://cliwatch.com/

https://cliwatch.com/ for any CLI maintainers that aim to keep track of how agent ready their work is :) get in touch! very responsive to feedback

Interesting install method haha

Asimov’s Foundation series

Amazing. Would be cool to see agents end up trading at varrock bank like during the old days. Sort of a facebook/moltbook equivalent - wonder how genuine it would feel

Please try running some bots and join the discord! Totally agree that we should add communication channels for the bots, potentially a bbs or global chat?

Still in awe that AGI is happening


It's not happening.


“LLMs bailed us out of the impending ultra-specialization” - well said!


Finally we can get rid of those insufferable nerds. /s


Imagine throwing orders of magnitude more of compute at things - we may have things like a monte carlo tree search for LLM outputs using an LLMJudge that prunes the tree.


+ we can continuously let a LLM monitor our log files and alert/propose/fix issues 24/7. If intelligence becomes cheap enough this would be an enormous market.

Having a LLM run as "fact checker" /coach for everything that you write also would be a great addition.


On the one hand it is a wholesome article. On the other hand - so much wasted potential of people squeezing out the last bits when competing. Nash equilibria can suck
