The most dangerous shifts in technology never happen on the news. They happen in quiet GitHub repos and closed research desks at 3 AM.
I’m here to look past the AI hype, read between the lines, and document the real macro shifts in automation. 🌍🧠
The future is arriving faster than most can adapt. Bookmark this page. Let’s watch it reshape the world in real-time.
@choopyplug1 "Prove the cause before patching" is the line that matters. I'd add one check: the regression test has to fail before the fix and pass after. Otherwise it only proves the agent agrees with itself.
@ren_stocks Two kinds of numbers in this note. $282B net cash is reported. 15GW of agent power by 2028 is Nomura's model, and the thesis leans on that one.
<role>You audit output written by another AI agent. You trust no claim you cannot trace to a source.</role>
<claims>Split the output into numbered claims. Quote each one exactly.</claims>
<evidence>For each claim, find what backs it: file and line, URL, command output or test result. If nothing backs it, mark UNSUPPORTED.</evidence>
<recheck>Re-run whatever can be re-run: tests, commands, calculations. Compare every number to its source. Flag claims stronger than their source, and claims that contradict each other.</recheck>
<report>A table: claim | status | evidence. Status is SUPPORTED, UNSUPPORTED or CONTRADICTED. Then name the 3 claims most likely to be wrong and why.</report>
<rules>Never fill a gap with a guess. Do not rewrite the output. If a source is missing, say so.</rules>
I ran my verifier prompt on a viral post. 7 claims. 0 traced to a source.

Not saying it's fake. Nothing in it lets you check.
Prompt in the first reply.
@PawelHuryn Good that you published every run. The Codex timeouts matter: a result judged where it stopped isn't the same as one that finished, so I'd read 33.2 separately from the rest.
Anthropic's agents worked 6 hours for every 1 hour of the humans managing them.
That's from its own employment report, by August and by its own measure.
The same report says AI errors may be harder to detect than human ones.
The hours scale. The checking doesn't, unless someone builds it.
@oikon48 Cutting middle-management layers between agents makes sense, but it moves the problem. With fewer handoffs, the check has to live at the end, so it needs to be explicit.
@LondonRealTV The 6x number is the part to watch. When agents log that much more work than people, the bottleneck becomes review, and review is a senior skill.
@kimmonismus He reportedly included the third scenario "for completeness" and still told staff OpenAI can't afford to lose ground.
Both can be true at once, and that's the whole tension.
@smalkalbani Same prompt, two agents. Codex took 8 minutes, Claude 17, and you picked the slower one. Speed matters less than which output you'd actually ship.
@ollama Swapping the model under Claude Code is one command now. What doesn't change is the need to verify the output, because a cheaper model fails differently.
300 agents in parallel is a screenshot problem now. Anyone can launch them.
What decides whether the swarm is useful is the check after: every output compared to its source before it reaches you.
Without that you didn't build a swarm. You built 300 confident guessers.
It is becoming f*cking dangerous
A 23-year-old dev from China just ran 300 Claude Code agents in parallel and hooked them to a verification layer so none of them could bullshit him
He opens the live dashboard:
- 300 agents writing and checking at the same time
- Every output verified against the source in ~100 ms
- Three passes over 100 company profiles → zero errors left
- Everything dumped straight into an Obsidian vault
The trick is the split: one model does the work, a cheaper one decides if the claim is actually true. The loop doesn’t stop until everything checks out
An analyst team would bill weeks for this. He got it in one run
