I am amazed at how many people on Slashdot are completely out of touch with the progress AI models have made in the last 6 months. This is supposed to be a tech site, where you guys actually use the tech and understand it. But I digress.

Current models do not need any prompting. You can build a plain english (markdown file) describing exactly what the agent's role and purpose is. It will continue to operate agains those instructions autonomously until it is shut down. Other agents can create and spin up new agents, with new instructions to help them complete their tasks.

We are long past the days of type a sentence, get an answer type agents.

It's already way to late bruh. We don't have the mines anymore, or any of the other infrastructure. Those factories would just sit empty.

The thing I have found is this is where the models all fall short. I have created some amazing results that 500X my productivity by limiting the scope of each session. If I I play the role of "project manager", break the work into phases, and then test and refine each phase before letting it move on to the next, I get incredibly good results.

If I write a 30 page requirements document and just let it build the entire app, the output is always subpar because it builds with mistakes, then builds on top of those mistakes with more mistakes. Then it takes me significantly more time to get it to the end state I wanted in the first place.

Would you also have me believe that a crate pickup from Temu is better than an F-150? Grok is hot garbage.

I have teams of developers and we use and test all of these daily. Grok is pathetic. Gemini is good if you need something to update a spreadsheet. Claude code is still the clear winner for heavy lifting, with codex being a close second.

Sure. I'll be your Google or ChatGPT for you today!

Apple stock was $13.74 (split adjusted) on Tim's first day. Today's closing price was $316.85. That's a 2,206.04% increase in value.

During his 15 year tenure:

* Stock rose 2,279%
* Annual revenue rose 400%
* Profits rose by 430%

Like him or not, he accomplished exactly what Apple paid him to do in his role.

Nice try troll. But this is nothing to do with Apple. Every PC and device manufacturer has raised prices significantly. In fact you could argue that Apple has tried to beat the game with the Macbook Neo. So stick a fork in false narratives.

Absolutely. 100%.

But if you stop lying about surveillance being the reason and look at the fact they have socialized medicine, easy access to support for counseling and depression, near zero access to weapons, along with a strong culture of learning and education you quickly realize that many other things are at play.

This is the thing that has made me so angry with modern SaaS software. My favorite example is that I pay quickbooks a monthly fee, and there is no way I can find to make it stop popping up giant intrusive ads for their other services every single time I open it. I hate them so much.

Do no evil. We all know why you removed it. Couldn't be more obvious.

I don't think its possible to ever put the social media genie back in its bottle. But I am open to trying.

You turn off a data center during emergencies and find it was the one responsible for the 911 system, its going to be a bad day.

I am not OP, but LMGTFY.... https://www.404media.co/own-th...

We've had easy times for too long. Everything thinks little stuff is hard. Everyone thingk unimportant stuff is important.

They do not care about the law.
