If we want to find reasons to be mad at Anthropic, I think this is one of the stupidest product decisions I've ever seen. The # shortcut was more efficient, provided more user control, was easier to use, felt like you had more control over a key aspect of CC, etc. List goes on and on.

A really neat paper, but I don't know if the description here works (it certainly made me click!):
A better description is that this gives LLMs context that the characters in the story should not have, and then asks them to answer perspective-specific questions about what should happen next.

One way to illustrate this: ai can determine "bird or not" very easily. This entire project in this xkcd would take about 15 minutes, if that.

the more uncomfortable corollary to this is that I think the days of humans _reading_ the code is also mostly gone. you're producing so much code now that a human reviewer is a massive bottleneck.
IMO, you need to shift validation strategies massively towards tests and flagging high risk code.
