    Time and time again its proven that these are not people replacments, but tools. A great tool, but only if its used properly.

    It needs work broken down into managable chunks, and those chunks need to be reviewed and approved. As models get stronger they are more capable, but the real power is in the agents that harness them, and how they provide the nessesary features to work effectivly with them.

    Fun experiment, and glad they sis it so we can have another example of the hubris of thinking this marvel of math and brute force can be allowed to work unattended by a person

      Yeah I think that’s the way to look at it - as a fun experiment or stress test. Failing to serve coffee is pretty harmless.
