   A lot more tricks can be learned from just watching AI work. Instead of allowing AI to work autonomously, go back to the old days where you manually approve every command the AI runs. Just recently while doing performance optimization work, I found Opus using the `perf` command in ways I didn’t know possible. Just give AI a real task and carefully read what commands are used by the AI to solve the problem; most likely the AI uses a trick or two that you didn’t know existed.

      Is this just plain old rage baiting? I literally can’t tell any more.

         It’s a figure of speech. I use that phrase for anything older than three months.

         I find it a valid statement.

         IT was always fast, and I explained my students what IDE cable was and they don't even knew about SWAP because they never had memory issues.

            My kids find mechanical disks (let alone things like CDs/DVDs or (gasp) vinyl) to be bizarre concepts. The fact that the disk drives for the IBM mainframe that I worked with in the mid-to-late 80s were the size of a washing machine absolutely blows them away.
