WASM Agents: AI agents running in the browser
One of the main barriers to a wider adoption of open-source agents is the dependency on extra tools and frameworks that need to be installed before the agents can be run. In this post, we show how to write agents as HTML files, which can just be opened and run in a browser.

Sycophancy is the first LLM "dark pattern"
People have been making fun of OpenAI models for being overly sycophantic for months now. I even wrote a post advising users to pretend that their work was…

Should LLMs just treat text content as an image?
Several days ago, DeepSeek released a new OCR paper. OCR, or “optical character recognition”, is the process of converting an image of text — say, a scanned…

When a stadium adds AI to everything, it's worse experience for everyone
I just got back from a 24hr trip to Los Angeles to catch my favorite Portland Thorns team, watching them clinch their playoff spot in a match at BMO stadium in downtown Los Angeles. In May of 2024, I did the same trip to catch a match on Mother's

After the AI boom: what might we be left with?
Some argue that even if the current AI boom leads to an overbuild, it might not be a bad thing - just as the dotcom bubble left behind the internet infrastructure that powered later decades of growth. It’s a tempting comparison, but the parallels only go so far. The dotcom era’s overbuild crea

I've been loving Claude Code on the web
It’s very much a “v1” product. You type a prompt to start a new thread, it launches a little container for your agent to work in, and you can keep talking to it. It produces a branch, which you can open a PR for (that’s the only way to see a diff of the changes Claude Code made, for now). Or if you want to keep…
