We haven’t had LLM agents for 7 years

They claimed these problems LONG before agents were the new thing. To my eye it started with the bullshit around GPT-2, and that was in 2019, 7 years ago.

Selling something desirable has been an incentive since year dot

But this reminds me of the black mirror episode of a female that needs a subscription to live and the company keeps increasing and restricting the subscription

s7e1 Common People - the parasitic corporation is called Rivermind, and the sales rep is someone who's life was saved by the corporation.

I thought the same thing when reading this.

If big tech has taught us anything over the past couple of decades, it is that: for corporations (the first unaligned AGIs): if a perverse incentive exists, it will eventually be exploited for profit.

It can be the language they prefer. Why would someone spend money to create software in some language for the sake of having an LLM generate it

The counter argument is that since LLM resembles magic why use inefficient nodejs that is basically an app running inside chrone Why not use native binaries?

Is efficiency not important in 2026?

repeating the statement doesn’t make a counter point

It does when your comment didn't address a single point of the original comment!

Why is it engineering what makes it engineering

We use science and technology to design, build, and maintain complex systems that solve real-world problems.

Do you have some other definition of engineering that excludes SWE?

That’s the thing we don’t need to invent a vague definition to attempt to cast a wide net

Here is the definition https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/engineer...

I don’t know if your claims are true, misinformed, rumors.

On the censor bit all companies operate within the law of the country they are in .

They have been confirmed by the CEO of Kagi and its docs. https://kagifeedback.org/d/5445-reconsider-yandex-integratio...

> On the censor bit all companies operate within the law of the country they are in .

Yes, that's why I don't want my money poured from Kagi to Yandex, a company owned by the state of a country that invaded its neighbour and doing war crimes.

Do you instead, want it poured to companies in the US, A country that invades other countries and bombs schools and hospitals? And is currently supporting another country ALSO engaging in war crimes abd headed by an internationally wanted criminal?

> Yes, that's why I don't want my money poured to a company owned by the state of a country that invaded its neighbour and doing war crimes.

What makes you think Kagi is owned by the Russian state? Should we cancel all US services because the US government started the Iran war for no reason?

They obviously meant Yandex

Kagi is also a company owned by the state of a country that invaded its non-neighbor and does war crimes. So is Google. Is it only bad if the countries are neighbors, or what?

Sure but whatever company you pay for in any industry will do as they are legally told eventually

Goes to the spyware in your tv to the trackers cameras in your EV

Scrolled looking for this comment the decline appears to be way earlier than LLM agents becoming popular.

But where did all the users go is something that would be interesting

Mostly: Discord, Github issues (as forum), X (twitter at the time), and Discourse! Discourse was growing steadily, even startups like OpenAI and neobanks like nubank (Brazil) had forums for their users because keeping your community active and close was something considered valuable (devrel since then has experienced a rapidly decline).

How does SoA help ?

> Fable being a world ending threat for finding security vulnerabilities

No that’s the other myth ( some variants of spelling) one

Well … one was a non profit and I still can’t figure out how it kept the donations the tax benefits and because a trillion for profit company

Are you saying 2 wrongs make a right

I'm saying, either you have a problem with the copyright issues related to AI training or you don't. If you do, neither Qwen nor Claude are acceptable, if not then both are. They have similar moral standing to me.

Btw, ethically sourced, open source LLMs exist! Check out eg Olmo by Allen AI: https://allenai.org/olmo

in this case yes. stealing from a thief is right if you give all of it back to the victims. with ai the "stealing" is from everyone on the internet, so the only ethical option is making the results open source and available to all. thats exactly what chinese labs are doing.

(in general i think piracy or breaking ip laws in general is not morally wrong unless you make money from it, but thats a whole other conversation.)
