litellm in the news again
i think role-play and utilizing the full power of language, stories, character, and narrative will unlock very sophisticated use-cases and in general a new dimension to agentic systems much in the way you're describing.

probably what will work best in the future is specific training or fine-tuning against curated datasets of narrative fiction and/or texts in general? not really sure.

wtf is wrong with openai?

just curious, how much do these actually discover useful practices or pitfalls, on top of just being for fun?

maybe instead of worrying that people on the internet will be good at coding, we could start writing memory safe apis. almost all cves are fixed by using rust

I don't get this post. It says software is getting worse, and then... gives a handful of anecdotal evidence. That could have been done at any point in the life of the software industry, including in the pre-agentic era. So the assertion behind the post doesn't really have any weight to it. Is there any actual, respectable evidence that software is actually getting worse? Also, what would worse even mean really? More buggy? Less reliable? Less creative, flexible?
