No Limit poker hackathon: currently 342/2000 in castle and 292/2000 in 4 way. going from blind to a crowd overview of scores is an interesting dynamic, and i wonder how the score distributions changed in new submissions after the leaderboard went public

@elonmusk @bot i dont understand why agent companies dont just .. brand it as a personal secretary? surely that transfers the message over a lot better to the average nontechnical person - ie not everyone needs a chief of staff but Everyone could use a secretary

@buritica ok imo the 2019 80-line "wtf is this code lol" is the equivalent of the modern 1200-line force merge slop nuke, and the former was funny because at least you could trace their thought process to help them in the future

@aliceisplaying ie, agents assume all of their features are wanted by default just because they live in the system prompt

[connor @connor6b]

@aliceisplaying i feel like the overzealous nature of personal agents is baked into their prompt so that they can show off their abilities (ie "Look, I just sent an email for you!") - which in reality is terrible UX because 98% of users just do NOT want this, but the ai-pilled PMs think users do
