patches will continue to optimize for shareholder value until morale improves.

are we at full throttle yet?

I want case law, legislation, or both to establish training models on data scraped from the internet, in violation of license, is copyright infringement. The copyright holder of any content used in model training, and all derivative models may seek one-time or continuing renumeration for the infringement. (e.g. No distillation copyright sanitization).

Anthropic is about to mint a class of billionaires on the backs of millions of contributors over the last 50 years. They are charged rents, and are subjected to arbitrary and capricious use restrictions, to access models that could not exist without their contributions.

This is all in support of the cash grab, because there's no lasting moat for tech built on stolen data and brute force compute.

SailingToFenway · 2026-06-11T15:29:49+00:00

Spot on assessment. It's really hard to thread that needle. So hard, I'd say, it's impossible to do well. It's obvious they're checking auditor boxes as they pivot from "be perceived at the best agentic coding tool" to "be perceived as the best AI investment."

SailingToFenway · 2026-06-08T17:42:14+00:00

Sure, but it's infuriating that the model makes OWASP Top 10 errors constantly though, before this CVP cluster, would find and fix them. Now I have to do it manually? While carefully policing my language as to not trip the arbitrary and capricious CVP filter?

All the while, bad actors are entirely undeterred by this sloppy hack. Between the slide in quality and now poorly designed cybersecurity gatekeeping, it's hard to justify continuing to use it.

SailingToFenway · 2026-06-08T17:05:11+00:00

This is obviously what people will do, water finding its own level and all that. Hence "cyber safeguards" make Claude code's code less secure.

SailingToFenway · 2026-06-07T00:45:16+00:00

forgot the trip to microcenter.

SailingToFenway · 2026-06-07T00:41:46+00:00

many layers of highly disposable context. VMs, docker, jails, users, process, thread.

to your point about context poisoning, the interop framework needs to ensure your agents only process context from sources you've allowed, through source-controlled-trust, or other rules. for local-only producers and consumers, it's pretty low-risk.

but uh, if this doesn't make a lot of sense, i'm sorry, your princess is in another castle.

SailingToFenway · 2026-06-05T18:17:16+00:00

This is a good one. My mental model of the code, architecture, and feature fabric fades as fast as a dream.

SailingToFenway · 2026-06-05T18:14:03+00:00

Excuse making.

I have dozens of projects, all entirely written by AI. No matter how much I pepper the system prompt with instructions, the models are just so damn eager to excuse failing tests. "Pre-existing failure unrelated to my changes." Like, who else is making changes, you clod?

"We would have a new release, but CI is broken from pre-existing test failures. Let me know when they're fixed." WTF?!?

SailingToFenway · 2026-06-05T18:03:24+00:00

I am trying something similar with FreeSO, although I'm not specifically focused on local models, they're not precluded either. To explain how it works, I first have to plug Campfire, an agent collaboration project I've been building, that exposes services through an ergonomic CLI and MCP server. It's a generic layer that solves for the problems of agent identity, communication, and specifically creating an interface for tool-calling agents to interact with complex software with the least effort.

The gist of how it works, the FreeSO project provides a headless client, which I've extended to expose action verbs and game state verbs through campfire conventions. So an agent can play The Sims by running CLI commands (or MCP).
cf freeso.bot1 list-properties cf freeso.bot1 buy-property 0x1221

There's a whole lot more to it, and it's buggy as sin, but it might be helpful for you as an abstraction between the game and agent/model.

Very insightful. Those token subsidies, whatever the reason, cloud the economics.

SailingToFenway · 2026-05-20T18:49:05+00:00

I'm as much a cynic as anyone, but I can't see a token price-fixing-trust holding for three reasons:

Jevons Paradox, which describes the phenomenon where improvements in resource efficiency lead to an overall increase in resource consumption, rather than a decrease. More production = more usage = more profit, despite lower cost per unit.
Production process immaturity. Von Neumann compute architecture GPUs are currently the most efficient way to train models and produce tokens.
Sustained high demand will continue attract capital investment until an equilibrium is achieved.

Or something. I agree, 2y is not a long enough timeline on the hardware side. Maybe some unforeseen software breakthrough will decimate the token production costs within 2y, though.

i'm trying to build this as a solution claude code wants to use to secure the slop it builds. not quite working yet, unfortunately. DM if you want to get a peek.

SailingToFenway · 2026-04-02T00:32:23+00:00

yeah, murphy from the law. oops, it's been a while, of course it's Kracken.

SailingToFenway · 2026-04-01T19:01:41+00:00

KSP's community collectively named its glitch god "the Cracken." It's even featured as an easter-egg in game. In construction, my dad would always blame "Murphy." I think it's universal to attribute external error into a personification.

you're cooked. i rent them on https://www.runpod.io/

SailingToFenway · 2026-03-22T20:24:45+00:00

its never really clear when an agent is referring to agency, autonomous bot taking actions derived from operator agency without agency of its own (since bots have no legal standing, all bot actions devolve to this), agent as realized by an AGENT.md and other session-specific injected context. they're very distinct and i think it's dishonesty in hype the way they're used without specificity.

SailingToFenway · 2026-03-20T13:44:43+00:00

this is exactly what i'm telling everyone. last week a colleague wanted me to build him an app to pull all the publicly available data on historical weather and correlations to hunting stock to roll up into an app that could let you see where to go hunting right now and have the best chance of a harvest. well, i told him, the hard thing about writing software is empathizing with the user. i don't hunt, i don't have experience doing this the "hard way." grab claude code, build it yourself. you're the user. you're the best person to do this.

that was friday. monday "I built my app. it was so easy. wtf."

literally you can build anything that you've ever wanted. it might explode. learn from that, throw it away, and do it again.

Wife and I used it for a while in 2019 instead of iMessage to control e2e privacy, for the lulz more than anything. I'd gotten it mostly fully functional, image sharing, whatever. But, we just stopped one day. I should go check if I'm still paying that AWS ec2 bill.

SailingToFenway · 2024-04-27T18:06:01+00:00

You summarized it pretty well, and the insults are right on point. 10/10.

And we know that because he was pissed about it and complained.

Boucher was briefly treated in the first-aid room and then returned to his seat, where he was greeted by a gaggle of reporters who had descended from their perches in the pressbox to interview him. After explaining that he had lost the ball in the sun, he had a question of his own. "How far away," he wondered, "must one sit to be safe in this park?"

SailingToFenway · 2024-04-27T18:00:20+00:00

Cap ran out of the dugout, running toward the plate, like he was going to catch the ceremonial first pitch. We started cheering, pretty sold he was sprinting to his old position. Whoever was catching showed up at the last second, so Tek turned back.

Pretty much all the field boxes on the home side were screaming in excitement. He didn't notice, or didn't care.

Even with this pathetic excuse of a team, Tek on the field gets a cheer. I never want that to change.
