People hold superstitious beliefs wrt AI. "Model Collapse" was an early one, and there will be more. But it's just software.
It turned out that model collapse didn't happen. I think there are many reasons to be skeptical of AI lab claims (and point out bad predictions & watch for bubbles) but I also think it is worth reflecting that "AI development is going to stop" arguments have been wrong so far.

🤖 Your AI isn’t the problem — your context is. 📂 Stop tossing vague prompts. Feed it business needs, intent, examples, style for code that does what you actually want.

Ever stare at a blank page, asking an AI for "a blog post about X," only to get a generic, soulless draft back?

Worried about AI agents nuking files with `rm`? Use `trash` instead — it moves deletions to the recycle bin so you can undo mistakes. Install: `brew install trash` + instruct agent. Safer defaults, same workflow. Peace of mind for YOLO runs 🧯🗑️

When working with AI coding agents in environments without explicit command approvals or sandboxes, file deletion commands pose a significant risk.

The #1 question @isaac_flath and I are getting from Engineering Leaders and CEOs: "Can my entire team join your course?". #2 is "do you have a special offer for teams?" The answer to both is YES! https://t.co/1d5eYgv5gL

A significant trend is emerging among top engineering leaders.

🏴☠️ DARK PATTERN ALERT ☢️ AI vendors tying coding agents to their models. Make no mistake, this isn't about "giving users the best integrated experience". It's about trying to grab mindshare, counting on most users' discomfort with using and configuring different tools. 1/6

A human being should be able to flash firmware, apply thermal paste, refactor code, configure routers, train models, query databases, parse JSON, scrape data, resolve merge conflicts, deploy to production, kill zombie processes, document APIs. Specialization is for insects.

Vibe-coding has the same seductive appeal as Ben&Jerry’s peanut butter ice-cream. You want another serving even though you know it’s bad for you. About once a week I find myself chasing my luck down the vibe-coding rabbit hole. Then at some point I realise how pointless this is,

🛠️ We're building an AI coding agent!! 🚀 Don't worry, we're not launching yet another AI coding startup 😅 ... we just want to learn how coding agents work. And to do that, we're going to hack and learn live on camera, together with you. 👩💻👨💻 Join us! https://t.co/BvivMIHIkb

CLI > MCP — easier to create, observe, compose, debug ... and your agent knows very well how to call tools on the command-line. ``` ### Bazzing Foos - Always use ./foobazzer for bazzing foos - Run `./foobazzer --help` to learn how to use this tool ```
routing custom tools you write for local use through a full blown mcp server is dumb this kind of incremental overhead is how we look back one day and think "how did it all get so bloated" have had an idea around this for a bit will get it together this week

Mappers > Wrappers Instead of wrapping AI APIs to build a general-purpose product that answers the specific needs of nobody ... ... find ways to map your most critical business functions to something AI can do reliably without human intervention. That's where the action is 💰

@embirico What do you mean tricky situation?? if exists( https://t.co/R2bC874h53): deprecation_warn_with_suggestion() use( https://t.co/R2bC874h53) elif exists( https://t.co/4KpYvb5COp): use( https://t.co/4KpYvb5COp) This is like the most basic deprecation/transition strategy
agents.md
AGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents.
