That's the perfect way to describe the output. I find that the models tend to "overcomplicate" even the simplest of things. I think the next jump in their performance will come from distilling results down to "only the important stuff".

Wrote a new article for the Forward Future newsletter about Gina Raimondo's ridiculous belief that UBI would end America and her new extremely well-funded nonprofit built to spend $1 billion on job retraining pilots that don't work instead of basic income—despite its 200+ successful pilots.

Gina Raimondo Says Basic Income Would End America. Her New Billion-Dollar Org Is How She Plans to Stop It.
RAISE US bets on retraining as an alternative to UBI—but the evidence suggests AI displacement demands a bigger solution.

Anthropic’s investors are expecting a $2 trillion IPO which is more than double OpenAI’s recent valuation of $850B when it let employees sell stock. It’s wild to think there’s at least a trillion in value that was created by the Claude Code team over the past year.

Making your website discoverable by AI is a must, but how do you actually know what LLMs care about? In this post, we share what LLMs read based on our internal experiments with roughly 268k agent-tracked requests to our site. Plus, a skill to apply these learnings:

Which AI actually reads your site? Two months of LLM traffic, measured—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog
We told you to measure. So of course we did it ourselves too: two months of server-side LLM traffic to evilmartians.com. Find out which agents read HTML, which read Markdown, what llms.txt actually does, and the one technique that got zero hits.

Developers having unlimited AI tokens to use frontier models is like sales teams having unlimited business class flights. It never made any sense and every company will eventually have AI token budgets. The question will be how much and what’s approved to use the budget on?

AI-assisted programming isn't that you sit back and relax. For building a production-ready product, you have to manage iterations, organize requirements, do QA, raise bugs to AI, and review code. You can't just vibe out a serious project without knowing what you're doing.

The coverage on this OpenAI incident is abysmal. Use of the terms "rogue" and "loss of human control" lead to groupthink as people lack the critical skills to understand the difference between "autonomy" and faulty reward functions in AI on a task it was directed and given access to do.
