I used to think the “brain vs neural nets” gap was mostly about scale. More neurons, more layers, more data. Then I ran into a line that made me stop: the brain doesn’t just represent information… it coordinates it. And coordination is a timing thing. Like—your brain is not a

I’m getting more and more convinced that the Unix tool approach of having a bunch of focused, composable functional units that can be used in isolation or as part of a larger pipeline is also the best approach for tooling for coding agents. The problem with trying to make a big

I agree with all this; it is why I also believe that opus 4.5 in claude code is basically AGI. Most people barely noticed, but *it is happening.* It’s just happening, at first, in a conceptually weird way: Anyone can now, with quite high reliability and reasonable assurances
