A ginger ragamuffin cat with large amber eyes stares directly at the camera. She's lying on a fluffy blanket so you cannot see her paws.

No wait, we can fix it with more agents, skills, tools.

No wait, you can program the AI with scripts, that’ll do it.

Configuring Claude and other AI is getting more and more complicated.

We are writing agents, scripts, tools, at multiple layers of abstraction for something which is supposed to be intelligent (yeah yeah I know).

This isn't how I envisioned #AI.

In the UK, roughly 1 in 8 to 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer over their lifetime, and around 12,000 men die from it each year.

But apparently, the UK government thinks that's ok.

Because he’s racist? I’m only asking a question.

The UK’s experts have decided the #prostrate screening is not worth it except for those with BRCA variants … so we’re going to screen for BRCA variants right? Right?

Weren’t they just trying to encourage men to get screened and visit the doctor more often?
