So the invented Dwarf Fortress?

I really enjoy having an opencode go subscription just so I can ask some less common models questions too. Sure DeepSeek. But MiMo, Kimi, MiniMax, Qwen... (Ok half those are not so unusual either.)

Agents cross comparing notes often surfaces some good improvements, finds interesting drifts. Ask them to reinterpret the prompt as they see it, have them describe the problem, then their findings, and run new rounds based on different models trying different prompts. Trying to swap and exchange ideas and vectors across agents.

This seems trivially explainable by Github being full of "my first game loop" type projects, Stack Overflow being full of "how do I make a game loop?" style questions, and Reddit being full of "you can't ever make your own game, don't even try, but here's a simple game loop if you want to sTuDy hOw iT WoRkS" style pessimism.

Probably high time these AI companies re-trained all of their models with less input from low-quality sources like this.

Seems like Anthropic should withdraw their models until they can be taught to behave and cooperate as well their competitors (both open and closed) do. /s

I hate fearmongering, and I don't trust Dario's intentions for doing it.
