Baldur Bjarnason argues chat-based LLMs work like a psychic’s cold reading: vague prompts, confirmation bias, and the user’s own meaning-making create the illusion of understanding.

Why Do We Need Human Mathematicians Anymore?
This is a guest post by Po-Shen Loh, crossposted from his blog, where an illustrated version appears. This blog post was initially written in a different file format and converted using AI. — T. Similar logic applies to every industry and every job. And it comes to the conclusion that we won’t have enough people for all the jobs that need to be done. 100% of this post’s prose was written by Po-Shen Loh in a vim terminal, with no AI generation.

An Agent’s Breath. The Heart Beats by Itself, Breathing Is a Choice
Today’s agent systems already have a pulse and they have sleep. They do not have breath, and breath is the one place in the body where the will can be watched at work rather than inferred from a result. This is not an argument that machines should be more human.

Humans are the only real agents
“Good Enough” Was Good Enough Most of the world runs on software today. Distribution systems that get slippers and earbuds from halfway around the world to a shelf at your local Target, or sophisticated defense systems that protect infrastructure and military assets. Much of that software is actually quite old.

I'm tired of the AI tone. Not AI writing itself. AI is incredibly useful. I've probably used ChatGPT more this week than I'd like to admit. I'm talking about the weird, increasingly recognizable way everything on the internet now sounds like it was written by the same extremely articulate 27-year-old who has never had a bad day. You know the tone. Everything is a wedge. Every idea is not just X, but Y.

If AI coding is lowering your code quality, you’re not managing quality right
One common take on the coding agents that I see goes something like this: “Sure, AI helps you output more code, but won’t the quality suffer?” It certainly will if you just blindly merge the PRs and send them off to prod. But if you take a thoughtful, layered approach to managing quality, I find that it’s possible to not just keep the number of bugs stable but actually reduce it—while still increasing the output by 2-2x.
