Anyway, trying to deal with concepts of admissibility while coding with Claude has given me a greater appreciation for what Gregor Samsa must have felt.
@ShakeelHashim It's arguably a good move, because it defangs the regulation play with softer rails by voluntary EO and sets them up for better gains later. NatSec framing converts cleanly from external constraint to privileged access.
Code generation is not operational authority. Passing a task is not the same as knowing what claim you are allowed to make.
The hard part is not producing text or code: it’s preserving the conditions under which that output may bind future action.
People who think we are living in scary times at the end of white collar labor are dramatically overindexing on the LLM's success in solving nerd traps. They will keep moving the date for the end of labor back until the audience for such utterances moves on & they drop it.
Plateaus are real. They can also be temporary. Either way, benchmarks test artifact production. Real systems still fail at admissibility: who may act, on what evidence, under what standing, with what custody, and with what consequences.
You know, I think I hate bluesky as much as I ever hated twitter but I feel like I got caught up abandoning twitter because it felt like the right thing to do. But they’re both social media. The pathology is largely the same.
And the technical work is, annoyingly, still more interesting on here. I think it’s time to stop treating platform choice as virtue. It’s like preferring Marlboros to Newports. As long as you’re not putting your Kools out on my rug, whatever.
@rustycohl Yea. Seems like everyone does Conway's game of life with agents first, then they build the terrarium. I still want mine to earn the keys to the car.
@rustycohl Heh. The funny thing is, I’m kind of working on a way to ensure you would know. And so would other agents.
Naturally, no one cares about such things, because it’s more fun to let the agents go wild. That’s super helpful for ducking small problems like actual liability.
