How My Students Think About AI

Nathan Weldegiorgis19d101

“I never knew that building software was so easy” rather than “It’s very impressive AI can do this.”

Because your students are non-technical. They don't have a good reference point understand to how hard building software is (IT IS HARD). It is a valid for them to come to the conclusion "I never knew that building software was so easy".

Patterns and problems in emerging multiagent systems (Anthropic, Frontier Red Team)

Nathan Weldegiorgis20d21

Anthropic's new multiagent post (https://www.anthropic.com/research/multiagent-systems) found something I hadn't expected: "Only Sonnet 5 is able to maintain both a high merge fraction while directly collaborating and sharing code with other agents." Other frontier models (Opus 4.8, Mythos Preview) got a high merge fraction only by avoiding shared files almost entirely. Does anyone have a hypothesis for why Sonnet 5 can do both at once?
