Ist why I never give it such vague prompts. But it's sad it does not ask the user more. Also interesting and important to know how one would tease out good and correct information from llms in 2026. It's like relearning now to Google like it was 2006 all over again, except now it's much less deterministic. I wonder how the tail of the distribution of types of requests fares e.g. engineer asking for hypothesis generat…

I use Codex CLI in my daily usage since just with my $20/month subscription to ChatGPT, I never gets close to the quota. But it trips up over itself every now and then. At that point I just use Claude in another terminal session. We only have a laughable $750 a month corporate allowance with Claude.

This is where LLM advertising will inevitably end up: completely invisible. It's the ultimate "influencer". Or not even advertising, just conflict of interest. A canary for this would be whether Gemini skews toward building stuff on GCP.

how is it a conflict of interest for a google product to have a bias towards using google products?

As users we must hold some accountability. AI is aiming to substitute for humans in the workforce, and humans would get fired for recommending competitor products for use-cases their own company is targeting.

If we want a tool that is focused on the best interest of the public users, then it needs to be owned by the public.

I use a skill that addresses these short comings, it basically forces it to plan multiple times until the plan is very detailed. It also asks more questions

You can ask it to ask you about your task and it will ask you tons of questions.

Considering how little data needed to poison llm https://www.anthropic.com/research/small-samples-poison , this is a way to replace SEO by llm product placement: 1. create several hundreds github repos with projects that use your product ( may be clones or AI generated ) 2. create website with similar instructions, connect to hundred domains 3. generate reddit, facebook, X posts, wikipedia pages with the same informa…

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260218-i-hacked-chatgpt... says it took way less than half a year to 'pollute' a LLM

that's very different and was more akin to prompt injection or engineering, depending on your perspective, with a very specific query to make it happen (required a web fetch).

OK two things First, how did shadcn/ui become the go-to library for UI components? Claude isn't the only one that defaults to it, so I'm guessing it's the way it's pushed in the wild somehow. Second, building on this ^, and maybe this isn't quantifiable, but if we tell Claude to use anything except shadcn (or one of the other crazy-high defaults), will Claude's output drop in quality? Or speed, reliability, other met…

I've been using shadcn since before agents. It collects several useful components, makes them consistently styles (and customizable), and is easy to add to your project, vendoring if you need to make any changes. It's generally a really nice project.

from my understanding Anthropic are now hiring a lot of experts in different who are writing content used to post-train models to make these decisions and they're constantly adjusted by the anthropic team themselves this is why the stacks in the report and what cc suggests closely match latest developer "consensus" your suggestion would degrade user experience and be noticed very quickly

I guess that’s why I’m not seeing anyone trying to build a skills marketplace for agent skills files. The llm api will read in any skills you want to add to context in plain text, and then use your content to help populate their own skills files.

isn't that https://lobehub.com/ ?

I found it a remarkable transition to not use Redis for caching from Sonnet 4.5 to Opus 4.6. I wonder why that is the case? Maybe I need to see the code to understand the use case of the cache in this context better.

Yea, was it over engineered the first time or neglecting scenarios with multiple replicas the second time?

That's called LLM SEO now I believe.

I'm curious if there's any hard data on how LLM SEO compares to traditional SEO. My gut tells me that LLM SEO will be harder to game than traditional SEO.

We shall see. The game might be harder, but the tools are better now too.
