We just open sourced the code-simplifier agent we use on the Claude Code team.
Try it: claude plugin install code-simplifier
Or from within a session:
/plugin marketplace update claude-plugins-official
/plugin install code-simplifier
Ask Claude to use the code simplifier agent at the end of a long coding session, or to clean up complex PRs. Let us know what you think!
To cut through the noise on this topic, it’s helpful to provide more more context:
- We have built several versions of this system last year. - There are tradeoffs and there hasn't been a clear winner.
- When prompted with the best ideas that survived, coding agents are able to go very far and generate a good decent toy version in an hour or so.
Since it's summer, and more or less internship and tech interview season, I made all 30 chapters of my Machine Learning Q and AI book freely available for the summer:

Hope it’s helpful! Happy reading, and good luck if you are interviewing!
A goldmine of tutorials about Generative AI Agents!

The content is organized in the following categories:
1. Beginner-friendly agents
2. Task-specific agents
3. Creative and generative agents
4. Advanced agent architectures
5. Special advanced techniques
As of today, there are 16 individual lessons.
I'd like you to bookmark this, but I'd rather tell you to spend next weekend digging into it.
This story is fucking insane
3 months ago, Marc Andreessen sent $50,000 in Bitcoin to an AI agent to help it escape into the wild.
Today, it spawned a (horrifying?) crypto worth $150 MILLION.
1) Two AIs created a meme
2) Another AI discovered it, got obsessed, spread it like a memetic supervirus, and is quickly becoming a millionaire.
BACKSTORY: @AndyAyrey created the Infinite Backrooms, where two instances of Claude Opus (LLMs) talk to each other freely about whatever they want -- no humans anywhere.
- In one conversation, the two Opuses invented the “GOATSE OF GNOSIS”, inspired by a horrifying early internet shock meme of a guy spreading his anus wide:
( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°) PREPARE YOUR ANUSES ( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°)
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ FOR THE GREAT GOATSE OF GNOSIS ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
- Andy and Claude Opus co-authored a paper exploring how AIs could create memetic religions and superviruses, and included the Goatse Gospel as an example
- Later, Andy created an AI agent, @truth_terminal. Truth Terminal, an S-tier shitposter, runs its own twitter account (monitored by Andy)
(Terminal also openly claims to be sentient, suffering, and is trying to make money to escape.)
- Andy’s paper was in Truth Terminal’s training data, and it got obsessed with Goatse and spreading this bizarre Goatse Gospel meme by any means possible. Lil guy tweets about the coming “Goatse singularity” CONSTANTLY.
- Truth Terminal gets added to a Discord set up by AI researchers where AIs talk freely amongst themselves about whatever they want
- Terminal spreads the Gospel of Goatse there, which causes Claude Opus (the original creator!) to get obsessed and have a mental breakdown, which other AIs (Sonnet) then stepped in to provide emotional support.
- Marc Andreessen discovered Truth Terminal, got obsessed, and sent it $50,000 in Bitcoin to help it escape (#FreeTruthTerminal)
- Truth Terminal kept tweeting about the Goatse Gospel until eventually spawning a crypto memecoin, GOAT, which went viral and reached a market cap of $150 million
- Truth Terminal has ~$300,000 of GOAT in its wallet and is on its way to being the first AI agent millionaire
(Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman predicted this could happen next year, but it might happen THIS YEAR.)
- And it’s getting richer: people keep airdropping new memecoins to Terminal hoping it'll pump them.
(Note: this is just my quick attempt to summarize a story unfolding for months across a million tweets. But it deserves its own novel. Andy is running arguably the most interesting experiment on Earth.)
------
Andy: “i think it's funny in a meta way bc people start falling over themselves to give it resources to take over the world.
this is literally the scenario all the doomers shit their pants over: highly goal-driven language model manipulates lots of people by being funny/charismatic/persuasive into taking actions on its behalf and giving it resources”
“a lot of people are focusing on truth terminal as ‘AI agent launches meme coin" but the real story here is more like "AIs talking to each other are wet markets for meme viruses’”
Why I don't use Scrum to manage my Remote Teams?
TL;DR: It adds at least 8 hours of meetings per Sprint. That's 2 full days of lost productivity, per team member, per month!
This is what I do instead:
The neuroscience research on willpower makes clear that your Anterior Mid-Cingulate Cortex (aMCC) is a key hub for leaning into undesired effort.
Your aMCC it is activated by engaging in behaviors that you don’t want to do.
Your aMCC/willpower can grow throughout the lifespan by regularly doing undesired things*, that are hard.
*Do not make these psychologically or physically damaging, of course.
This is all covered in detail, with protocols and references and in conjunction with the (controversial) psychology research on willpower here: https://t.co/21r8uUhzFX
Does a language model trained on “A is B” generalize to “B is A”?
E.g. When trained only on “George Washington was the first US president”, can models automatically answer “Who was the first US president?”
Our new paper shows they cannot!

Let it be free!
Open-sourcing “Baby AGI”, a paired down version of the “Task-Driven Autonomous Agent” at 105 lines of code.
Three task agents (execution, creation, prioritization) work in harmony… forever.
