I don’t think this is going to be particularly controversial, but I think Anthropic abandoning some of their commitments to safety is a Bad Thing™.

I came across this paper where the authors evaluate coding agents ability to complete tasks with and without AGENTS.md files.

It has always seemed a little crazy to me that LLMs are expected to re-learn how to do things that can be done trivially on a CPU.

I’ve worked at a few places where there is a “standard” language.
