I would say the problem is that it NOW is just a job... it used to be the fourth estate

Ok but like... Kojima vibes. 10/10 best trippppllleee AAYYyyyyy game to come out this year lol

Robots.txt became 0% effective eventually. But this? With the way LLMs work? You never know.

Claude seems to follow robots.txt by default. Actually at my organization our theory is that this is why no one is finding our public results any more.

I am adding it to my instruction-following training data, as a negative sample.

And Mai-Code-1.1-Flash seems like a really good cooperative player to GPT 5.6 Sol. You get Sol to help you make a detailed plan, and Mai codes it up and you can get pretty decent code out the other end without too many tokens if you are careful.

Why wouldn’t you use Luna for that? It’s super cheap.

MAI also offers a ultra cheap version that's competitive with Luna.

So much so that the models look like they were designed by a product manager explicitly to eat away OpenAI's market share.

Vscode even pushed them quite hard onto users with the latest release, going to the extent of putting up a modal to convince users to try them out.

Taste I suppose?

How detailed of a plan? Are you including code snippets or just behavior and letting the lesser model decide how to implement?

And thus procone spoketh the truth.

In accordance with the prophecy.

Old web vibes!

You can get pretty dang far asking the AI to explain things and show you where it got that info, especially with IT/DEV stuff. Thing that has been very useful to me is specifically asking AI for that vocabulary. AI is suprisingly useful for giving a vague description of something you want and asking for possible words that match. But you have to KNOW to try that. A tinkerer might have started that convo with the chatbot by asking "What are web pages built from" "Can we use those building blocks to make our own simple app" and gotten there from a place of low expertise in web development but juicing out the knowlege from a place of low expertise is itself a skill.

I know you are not arguing from bad faith, but you are making an assumption along cultural lines, which is a mistake of missing the forest through the trees.

The vast majority of people (blanket statement, I know..) do not come from a culture where embracing curiosity, asking questions, or trying to break things down is the norm. Developers, tinkerers, etc., sure... you can reasonably make that assumption. But not everyone. A cultural practice of critical thinking and problem solving is HOW you KNOW to ask WHAT questions need to be answered FIRST, in order to solve a problem or progress toward a solution (if more information is needed).

You might even make the argument that everyone should have these skills, and I would agree with you. But the missing link here is a culture or cultural practice that provides those things (the WHY), and an AI/LLM will not provide those things in absentia, without "prompting", or build up that infrastructure in meatspace for a given set of users. Ignore this at your own risk.

oh yeah, this is nice
