I keep telling people that we are living in the golden age of AI - like the first year or two of google. It is all down hill as these companies push for profit and lock-in.

Exactly why everyone needs to be hyper-focused on ensuring that the open-source ecosystem is healthy and that we don't let them shut that down.

I built this for my own company. Armature is on to something. You start by analyzing the choices agents would make for various use cases and then glean what, if anything, you might do to start tilting the agents in the direction of your own product and away from the competitor.

Selling to agents is similar to selling to humans. You dump money into marketing to make sure agents find your solution around every corner for every use case you’re well suited to.

Doesn’t this ignore that the future of ads will probably just be some type of affiliate revenue going back to the agent for any product they help recommend.

Maybe but that future isn’t now and there’s real money to be made today with the above strategy.

Well that's a horrifying thought. Thanks, I hate it.

For some reason Claude Code keeps using awk, sed, and even Python to do basic file editing. Anyone know why that changed with the 5 series?

Actually, yes. Probably this https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/88041#issue...

They love adding flags to fix issues that users have without telling their users about the flags. It very much feels like: As long as our staff can have a good user experience, we're happy. We don't care about anyone else.

I've noticed that too. Maybe the normal Write tool has to output the entire file and this is an attempt to reduce token usage?

The Edit tool has been notoriously tricky to get right - it seems they have maybe branched out but I think morphllm started specifically with the pitch that they trained a small model to be good at editing files - most of their testimonials are about that

But I think it’s mostly a solved problem in frontier models and the bash tool usage is more likely an attempt to be more token efficient - I’ve noticed it used for making mechanical bulk edits that would be numerous “edit” tool uses otherwise

What does this question have to do with the linked article?

I only get web search from Claude Code when I ask, only one of my last 8 sessions accessed the web at all. But they were the case of Opus here. Curious what Fable 5.1 model does instead of Opus.

Really liked that "Go Full Screen" as a modal flow, surprisingly intuitive.

I remember when the SEO nightmare started, it looked like an innocent intelectual investigation exercise like this.

Azure database??? In house bot protection??? In house search???

Some of these are absolutely wild. Surprised Strands didn't even get mentioned for agent frameworks.

In the future: "I went ahead and built the database you requested using today's tool sponsor: Firebase"

The framework recommendations are always funny, but the worst is database layout. I made the mistake of assuming it has some reasonable sense.

Ugh...this is totally going to happen.

Not going to name names but it's already happening with the frontier labs as a revenue source.

I feel like you legitimately cannot say it for legal reasons, but I wish we would just name these freaking things.

Didn’t OpenAI claim they’re going to make a billion dollars off ads in a year or something?

Yeah sounds kind of like the equivalent of SEA for AI agents (AEA?) except that it’s sneakier since agents can act without you noticing.. anyway this is in the hands of the labs

Is SEA Search Engine Advertising? So AEA is Agent Engine Advertising?
