Software engineering is phoenixing.
Companies are downsizing.
Agent swarms are promising to replace entire engineering teams.
And yet, the best engineers are busier than ever.
Random thought: Enumerating things an agent should not do is potentially dangerous, especially when nearing the decoherence limit of attention.
An ironic rebound effect for agents.
Don't think about `rm -rf /`!

Here is an example of an elliptic curve that has the maximum number of solutions in F_p <= 101 besides F_2
```sage
E = EllipticCurve([110997327521709493305623994548879411633, 86405391492058168448083591898668285015])
print([E.ap(p) for p in primes(102)])
```

Have you ever encountered agents using jargon or phrases that you'd never use before, but you find yourself starting to use just because they use it so much?
One that I had never encountered before that agents I interact with love to use is "belt-and-suspenders".

The bitter lesson in 26 words:
Don’t be distracted by human knowledge, as AI has been historically.
Instead focus on methods for creating knowledge that scale with computation, like search and learning.
The old org chart is dead.
Now it's about coordinating humans and rigs the same way we used to coordinate engineering teams.
The companies that figure this out first will eat everyone else's lunch.
They will build massive systems.
The time is now.
Learn the skills to use the orchestration rigs of tomorrow.
Learn to build your own rig, or get left behind.
Start here: hirehuman.ai/learners?utm_so…
What's the best tool in your rig right now?
In AI alignment, what matters more: shaping the AI's utility function (its core objectives and values), or curating its training data (what it learns from the world)? This reframes the entire alignment problem as nature vs. nurture for machines.

Prompt/System prompt learning has the potential to break Jevons' paradox for any repeatable tasks delegated to an LLM.

People often end emails with "Best, [name]". Wonder how often people mistype and instead write: "Beast, [name]"

Pretty sure the correct pronounciation isn't "Gif" or "Jif", but rather "Jife" with a long "I" sound.
