@gdb Once you realize, do you fix it so codex can do the task for you next time?

[Alex Carmichael @ai_carmichael]

@danshipper @every Curious how the Style Engine handles voice drift when the corpus of examples spans years — does it weight recency or let the user tune that?

@SahilBloom AQ = Adaptability Quotient

[Alex Carmichael @ai_carmichael]

@thejustinwelsh Sounds pretty counterintuitive but you're probably right

[james hawkins @james406]

parents: "move out"

girlfriend: “quit being such a loser”

boss: "work harder"

claude: "uber for dogs (the dogs are the drivers) is a great idea, you should absolutely pursue it"

[Alex Carmichael @ai_carmichael]

@AnthropicAI Pretty impressive stuff, keep it coming

[Alex Carmichael @ai_carmichael]

@thejustinwelsh I enjoy long walks on the beach and compounding interest.

[Alex Carmichael @ai_carmichael]

@SahilBloom Ease is powerful

@jxnlco but don't take life too seriously

[Alex Carmichael @ai_carmichael]

@simonw Seems easy to solve with a harness that auto-logs your chats?

[Alex Carmichael @ai_carmichael]

@danshipper So true, it's the curse of AI. Chasing freedom is so addicting that it becomes the schackles

[Alex Carmichael @ai_carmichael]

@hwchase17 Curious how the evaluator handles partial credit on multi-step trajectories? Binary pass/fail at the end loses too much signal on where long-horizon agents actually diverge.

[Alex Carmichael @ai_carmichael]

@SahilBloom Interesting, I can't remember the last time someone told me I was doing it wrong. Is this limited to social media or are you experiencing this irl?

[Alex Carmichael @ai_carmichael]

@dair_ai Does "harness quality" shift the eval strategy — are you measuring harness components independently or only end-to-end task success?

[Alex Carmichael @ai_carmichael]

@thejustinwelsh Safe to say it's a "privilege" to be able to leave money on the table?

[Alex Carmichael @ai_carmichael]

@trq212 Curious whether you're persisting any of that generated scaffolding across sessions or treating each run as throwaway — the reuse question seems like where this workflow either compounds or stays a one-off trick.

[Alex Carmichael @ai_carmichael]

@thejustinwelsh The trick is to figure out the right time to go from yes to no. It's a razors edge

[Alex Carmichael @ai_carmichael]

@thejustinwelsh Seems like having an unclear calendar would go a long way to accomplishing #2 and #3, no?

[Alex Carmichael @ai_carmichael]

@amasad @Replit Wow, congratulations!
