I'm really not a fan of Skills in agentic AI systems.
They add unnecessary complexity and open up a whole new set of problems, especially once Skills can be downloaded and suddenly need versioning, trust, compatibility, and package management.
I understand why they are useful right now. But the more general these AI systems become, the less they should need this extra layer.
THE DINOSAURS, a new documentary series narrated by Morgan Freeman, is now playing.
From executive producer Steven Spielberg, Amblin Entertainment, and the award-winning team behind Life on Our Planet.
We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax.
These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.
Damnn...this is sad
Although there were quite a few positives in the Summit, it was mostly bureaucrat favoured.
And organising this in Delhi is also a clear political move.
Imagine if this was Bengaluru or Hyderabad. That is where you get enthusiastic audience
Meh...
I think the AI bubble isn't about the amount of money going into AI companies but rather how good the AI models are that anyone can build a new model using these models and sell them. And relying on subscription revenue is the worst part as Chinese models are 10x cheaper.
Introducing Claude Opus 4.6. Our smartest model got an upgrade.
Opus 4.6 plans more carefully, sustains agentic tasks for longer, operates reliably in massive codebases, and catches its own mistakes.
It’s also our first Opus-class model with 1M token context in beta.
I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.
Cursor is killing your ability to think for yourself.
Before you can architect a solution, AI throws slop on the screen as you blindly hit tab.
You spend the next 30 minutes debugging why the code doesn’t work or compile. In the end, you learned nothing.
Two engineers on our team are learning Rails rn. After leaving Cursor, their velocity and craft improved dramatically.
