Given that we now understand we’ve been training AI to guess rather than to admit when it does not know, it should make us reflect on exams and the way we educate people.

I tell my agents to conclude with their confidence level.
GPT-5 almost never gives me [10/10 confidence], while Claude Sonnet 4 does it very often.
To think higher confidence is better would be foolish.

Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today.
"You're in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you," said Musk. "You either fight back or you die."

No other POTUS in history would make such flippant posts and statements about attacking an American city. The fact that this stuff is commonplace in the current administration and tolerated by so many is testimony to the moral rot we are suffering as a nation.

Considering the effort I spend making sure the agent only reads what it has to and to bring this into the simplest form, eliminating all noise, and to ration this in small as can be contexts.
It makes me wonder.
Why didn't we do those things earlier - for ourselves? Do we not care?

A lot of people were asking about examples for my "Augmented Coding - A Pattern Language" post. So I was iterating over it and added some. I also added new patterns.

- SO MANY people dislike (JIRA, Confluence. Previously also HipChat)

A problem with modern LLMs is that they are so convincingly anthropomorphic now that when they produce wildly incorrect responses like this one, my reaction isn't "oh, I found a bug", it's "you're a lying sack of shit!"... and that level of emotional reaction to a piece of code really isn't healthy.

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future.
But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

When you're faced with a problem, don't think: "What's a possible solution?"

-Preserve cross-context memory in .md
-Keep the code running
-No new code without a failing test
-Filter needless script output
-Small steps and iterate
-Iterate on your process files
