Two things stood out to me in this report.

1. AI deception can look a lot like human deception

2. What if the big AI companies actually had a secret knob to tune the model characteristics like sycophancy?

Good that the UN is paying attention.

I gave Claude my CV and asked it the following question:

---
Look at this CV and tell me how close is this person from being replaced by AI.
Be honest.
Think deeply about it and tell me what I can do to improve.
---

The result was illuminating and actionable.

Try it.

PSA.

GitHub will be using Copilot interaction data for model training form 24 Apr onwards.

GitHub Copilot users can turn it off via the privacy settings in your GitHub -> CoPilot settings page.

Strongly encourage to do so if you haven't.

Make working with git worktrees easier using direnv and sops Stop copy-and-pasting env vars or setting static paths to secret files

direnv and sops are great for managing environment variables and secrets across git worktrees.

Would love to hear about how you manage your env vars and secrets in your personal projects!

#Gemini is my go-to model for understanding difficult concepts. But now that #Claude can generate interactive artefacts like this... Maybe I'll give Claude a go.

(In the video below, I asked Claude to explain "topological sort" to me. Not too bad.)

Dario Amodei — "We are near the end of the exponential" "That's why I'm sending this message of urgency"

If you are interested in the broader impact on AI and have 2.5 hours, this interview is well worth listening to.

/think before you /plan I'm really enjoying the thinking partner mode in Claude Code

The latest thoughtsre post has landed.

This time, I talk about how I use a custom /think mode in Claude Code.

🏎️ Made my roboracer run around a rectangle circuit in a simulator using simple wall following.

Nothing fancy. But man, was it satisfying to see it make it all the way round... 🤓

Serious curiosity means you don't stop at "I get the idea." You work through the math, write the code, hit the walls, and come out the other side actually understanding it. That's what I write about at thoughtsre.substack.com.
