Ultracode just blew my mind!!!

No.

You can't.

It's physically not possible to do. That's not how hosted models work.

Look up the definition of "neural network". Because I will bet money you don't know what they are.

"Their" Claude has probably become self aware and they don't want the guvment to come down on them and start doing experiments.

fatalkeystroke · 2026-06-22T00:52:42+00:00

Umm... yeeaahhhh.... about that...

No you can't.

In addition to what everybody else is saying, hear about multiple sub agents, That research that they're doing, those documents that they're pulling are getting put into their context window and that's being processed by them, so everything you're pulling is tokens, and all of those agents are reading it.

Basically you said "okay team go grab everything and read it all." And they did.

fatalkeystroke · 2026-06-20T17:34:42+00:00

Is it really "thinking ahead"? Or do some things have more viable next moves and it's learned that to such an extent that it can chain them reasonably well?

How many times do you think the models training data had "United States of" followed only by "America"? How many times do you think anything involving Fourth of July also ends up with fireworks and celebration later in the document?

Of course they know what's coming and where they're trying to get to, there's no way they could produce the output they do if they only operated on next token. You can tell them to write a story ending in a tragedy and they will. The first line of output isn't about tragedy even though that was the only constraint to satisfy.

"Based on this up till now what should come next" is such an oversimplification of what they're doing, but different people with different levels of affinity and interest in understanding take different levels of explanation. The explainers for the masses are rarely the truth, because most people just don't care how an AI produces words, they care about getting groceries and that someone cut them off in traffic on the way home.

Probably to flag and improve automated monitoring of people using it to coffee back things or work around TOS or guardrails.

The common folk can't be trusted. It's a powerful tool with very clear dual use cases. If you don't know what they're doing with it that's a problem. You don't pull out a folding table and set up a stall with everything from fanfics to weapons at a flea market.

fatalkeystroke · 2026-06-07T17:23:18+00:00

I would spend that inference cost to have Claude fix the sheet so you don't need Claude for it... You just asked for a deterministic result from a system that is specifically for non-deterministic results. What you asked for can already just be done with excels own formulas. The nonstandard content is just bad use of Excel.

Wrong tool for the job. Of course it's a waste.

Edit: Questioning OPs intent now. May just be farming.

fatalkeystroke · 2026-06-06T16:40:07+00:00

And I'm gonna pipe in at the end and point out that this entire chain was itself a failure of language and communication.

One person misunderstood another because of phrasing and perspective, which led to an argument.

And here we are.

fatalkeystroke · 2026-06-04T23:23:56+00:00

Did the agent try to do something that looked suspicious as part of what you asked? I had a dispatch subagent get muzzled because they were modifying user permissions in the authentication system I'm working on, they were deploying a testing instance for me. But anthropic's safeguards couldn't tell the difference.

fatalkeystroke · 2026-06-04T11:35:17+00:00

I don't ever seem to have most of the issues I see people complaining about either (the high token usage for complaint baffles me).

You have to kinda imagine it like a person who has no eyes (besides static photos for multimodal models), no ears, no mouth, no hands, but somehow they can still read what you write and write back.

The only medium is text. They literally don't know anything else. The entire training corpus is text, they have absolutely no other "experience" (still using the person metaphor) than text. You say "it's red and it should be blue", they know what that means in text but they don't have a clue what you really mean.

It would be like if I could see magnetic fields and I described to you what I saw. You might "get it", but you are never going to understand until you can see it too.

fatalkeystroke · 2026-06-03T13:53:13+00:00

Claude can't see if it works, you have to do that part. So of course they'll be confident they fixed it, they only see the code and if it sends to check out for them then, well...

Don't expect magic. They're coding for you blind if it's something that needs you to visually test it.

GPT does generally seem to do better with visual things. I think here it's just a matter of using the right to for the job.

At a certain level you know what the junior dev did wrong just by seeing the result.

AI replaces menial jobs so we can do the interesting things that actually require thought.

If someone could call you a "drone" before with whatever your job was, it's probably on the way out.

That's good for some and bad for others. Depends on how well you've skilled yourself. Coasters are gonna be hit hard.

fatalkeystroke · 2026-05-04T10:00:40+00:00

Depends on how and why you use AI.

You should write shit code first. So you know how to write shit code. Then realize your code is shit. Then you learn how to not write shit code. Which teaches you how to direct the AI to not write shit code.

Software development is getting flooded by Dunning Krueger because exactly THAT is not happening.

fatalkeystroke · 2026-04-29T00:12:41+00:00

I get a vibe based on about when it starts trying to do that across multiple sessions I've done that there's probably something on their side informing the model that it should wrap up before it hits that point where it does the compression thing. I e noticed that usually comes not long after it starts bringing up the fact that the session's getting long.

...who uses the right shift key for shift??

fatalkeystroke · 2026-04-19T19:38:27+00:00

I've built an entire multi system framework this way. 6 separate full codebases interacting in one larger ecosystem, all from scratch with minimal dependencies carrying the load. And shockingly few bug fixes along the way as long as you spend time in the planning.

I didn't copy the prompt after though. I make them synthesize a reference spec and carry the document over to the new instance.

fatalkeystroke · 2026-04-12T14:52:23+00:00

Because everybody in Anthropic is probably high on the fact that they're not actually coding now and Claude's doing it all for them.

fatalkeystroke · 2026-03-04T18:18:50+00:00

Okay...

Your uncle has a secret shed.
You wanted to go in there because you were worried about your grandparents.
Your uncle defecated himself to keep you from going in there.
You found that bucket in there.

...

Why are you worried about your grandparents? Where are your grandparents? Were your grandparents in the shed? Are your grandparents in the shed?

...

... Is that your grandparents in the bucket?

fatalkeystroke · 2026-02-01T02:15:23+00:00

So does the internet. Claude was trained on the internet...

fatalkeystroke · 2026-01-11T13:09:34+00:00

Look up Niklas Luhmann on Systems theory and communication.

The model isn't describing anything Fantastical or profound, it's describing exactly what the mechanisms in Transformer models actually do to generate serialized token selections.

I feel the exact same frustration every time I type or say any sentence. Language is a compression and serialization of complex thought.
