Figure out which model was running in Auto Mode. Here's what we know so far: it thought for 4 mins, did something wholly unremarkable, that did work

This guys sells good soap Even if he missed the SOAP pun
*gets up on soap box* With the announcement of this new "code mode" from Anthropic and Cloudflare, I've gotta rant about LLMs, MCP, and tool-calling for a second Let's all remember where this started LLMs were bad at writing JSON So OpenAI asked us to write good JSON schemas

Agents are turning every engineer into an engineering manager of book-smart midcurvers who care more about LOC than quality. Career goals 😢. A mere of nights. Super powerful, but much to build before this feels **good** again.

6x in a row got the @VerizonSupport AI to agree to connect me to a representative. It then read the disclosures. And right when it was about to connect hung up on me. Wtf If you pay me $2M, 4 cracked friends and I will fix it and ship to all your customers within 40 days

Intent is so much more valuable than attention (and a lot more prosocial too) Google monetizes our 2-10 mins a day and happily sends us off platform. Attention is diffuse and low-signal so Meta and other social apps need to addict us and get hrs on platform.
