    Anthropic claims that Mythos has low low low hallucination rate of just 40% in its System Card.

    LLMs outputting code solving this exact task is a compound function of luck, with non determined a priori chance of success and unknown a priori cost.

    This is my main disappointment with agentic coding. Prompting is fine, quality assurance is there from the start. Greenfield, couldn’t care less. Established enterprise code? This is a minefield.

    If the tokens were 10 to 100 times cheaper, then it would be a maybe.

    I also hate how it makes half of my senior engineers dumber.

      I hate AI too but that doesn’t change how impressive the results can be. Once they figure out analog computing with memristors cost isn’t going to be nearly the issue it is today.
