    Good point. So basically, they likely spent 1+ million USD letting Mythos run for hours upon hours, and in this one case, a query with sizable compute used, apparently US$100k at t…

    Interesting. So you're using Sonnet 5 on low effort as the workhorse for most parts of your plan, unless perhaps there is a part of the plan you deem too complex for it? Then, mayb…

    Skills have use. They're just prepackaged prompts with a trigger condition. I was talking more like prompts that list 50 steps to follow while using GPT-4 or Opus 4.6 to program. T…

    With smarter models, Anthropic recommends laying off on giving it too much precise hand-holding, too. Early r/promptengineering had a bunch of the craziest prompts that usually did…

    I answered your question. AI-assited programmers will be paid less since more can do the same job through the use of AI assistance. In some cases, they will even can some developer…

    If I were to steelman your position, for now , people need to be a good dev to make the most out of the LLM ecosystem, and the skill of prompt engineering varies person to person a…

    What would you consider the "extreme of tracking?" Anyway, I feel like we're dealing with Sorites paradox here, which is something my brother always freaks out over whenever there …

    I genuinely would rather see ads for products I might like yet do not know exist instead of purely random ads. I don't understand why a person wouldn't.

    I understand being for privacy, but on the flip side, information about you can result in a better experience. E.g. in the case of tracking where a person comes from, that can help…
