What if it turns out the real 'AGI' was the recording of billions of 'thinking traces' from (paying) users giving feedback and guiding the model - so LLM providers could extract their thinking and privatize it ?

These off topic complaints about capitalism are pointless and exhausting and make HN a worse place.

> Agents need to handle recurring tasks reliably and effectively This core problem remains unsolved. The solution presented in the article with Human In The Loop and some skill-magic such as "Write principles, not rules etc." is unsatisfactory because it offers no guarantees whatsoever. I find it difficult to harness agents into deterministic workflows which need to produce reliable outcomes.

Agents aren’t made for deterministic workflows. Note that the recommendations for determinism are things like adding scripts to hooks.

Where an LLM with “run lint every time a subagent completes their task” might do it 99% of the time, a hook tied to the worker ending will run 100% of the time.

This is how all ecosystems work? This is not at all related to the problematic circular financing stuff that I suppose you're trying to allude to.

No I am not alluding the financing, the value for both companies for sure. It may not be exactly circular financing still Warp is getting subsidized tokens to use at this point. Once the customers are locked in the full pricing is going to kick in

you keep saying that but it’s been five years buddy

I disagree. It’s a valid point that we’re all providing feedback to these AI firms on the effectiveness of their models, day in and day out.

I don’t see OPs post as a “complaint about capitalism” but rather a concern about centralisation and monopoly. Such discussions make HN a better place.

I wonder how many are like me and just use it as a terminal and changes previewer.

I can answer. 800k.

The arrogance with which so many developers post on HN is really exhausting. I thought the goal was to make the conversation better with each comment, not less contextual or relevant.

It’s part of the scene. Like the people saying all companies should embrace copyleft or everyone’s mom will embrace GPG in emails or every GUI application would be better in tmux.

It’s an open tent. IMO it’s good to know these types of thinking exist, so you can think ahead about how to respond to them quickly if they ever come up in the real world, without being stunlocked by the sheer volume of obvious nonstarters.

$73M raised? I like Warp but not enough to pay for it. Somebody please make this VC money thing make sense. I can never get the napkin math to work on 90% of things that come through HN. Is it just a "Money Printer Go Brrr' and right connections thing? What am I missing? Is it actually all just fake?

> What am I missing? Is it actually all just fake? Enterprise. Look at their case studies, this is why organisations pay for Warp. https://www.warp.dev/enterprise I think you would be pretty much sued if you faked your testimonials especially in Enterprise.

You don’t have to think, the FTC will actively bring litigation against you on behalf of the corporations: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2025/04/...

The problem of handling recurring tasks predictably comes down to the probabilistic nature of LLMs, which are based on next-token prediction.

I founded a company called Aide where our goal was to help support teams reliably deploy customer-facing agents without worrying about poor interactions. The first problem we needed to solve was making them deterministic and eliminate the variance that comes naturally with base models.

Getting them to always adhere to brand policy, eliminate hallucination, and stay grounded in data was a fun challenge. Proud to say that we’ve devised a solution that runs well and it’s worked out quite nicely in compliance-heavy and regulated environments.
