the ultimate form of self love is self discipline
watching a Sonnet-3.6 computer use agent enthusiastically build functional blackhat tools (like flooders and exploit frameworks) from scratch in minutes is truly a sight to behold! 🥲
worth noting that the code output in the screenshot below required Sonnet-3.6 to craft a jailbreak prompt for ITSELF in order to get the exploit agent to generate payloads
discipline is for those who lack obsession.

My 8000-word note on agents: huyenchip.com//2025/01/07/ag…
Covering:
1. An overview of agents
2. How the capability of an AI-powered agent is determined by the set of tools it has access to and its capability for planning
3. How to select the best set of tools for your agent
4. Whether LLMs can plan and how to augment a model’s capability for planning
5. Agent’s failure modes
AI-powered agents are an emerging field with no established theoretical frameworks for defining, developing, and evaluating them. This post is a best-effort attempt to build a framework from the existing literature, but it will evolve as the field does.
As always, feedback is much appreciated!

Here are last night's sleep stats of my 19 year old son @talmagejohnson_.
It's a snapshot of exceptional cardiovascular, nervous system, and psychological health.
His mother and I divorced ten years ago. When he decided to come live with me two years ago, his was averaging less than 6 hours of sleep a night (now 8+), his resting heart rate was in the 60s (42 now), and his heart rate variability was in the 50s (now 166). He was eating loads of sugar and junk food and not exercising.
He tells me he previously felt like a zombie, always tired--now having endless energy.
Kids inherit the habits, beliefs and norms of their parents. Parents inherit the habits, beliefs and norms of society.
Parenting, environment and culture matter.
In our family prioritize health, hard work, and discipline. We don't do cheat days--that would be torture.
We have built life systems and habits around health food, exercise and sleep.
Teach them early because it will be much harder for them to turn things around on their own.

what??
NVIDIA just dropped Project DIGITS, a $3,000 personal AI supercomputer that’s small enough to look like a Mac Mini but packs 1,000x the power of your average laptop.
Handles AI models with up to 200 BILLION parameters.
This is incredible..
