this paper should scare every agent framework out there
researchers took apart 11 coding agents straight from the source code
claude code codex gemini cli openhands aider and more
roughly 4 million lines
not one of them imports a langchain style framework
not one of them searches code with embeddings
9 out of 11 already ship skill.md
then a second paper went further and let a loop write the harness
the model stays frozen
a debugger agent reads every failed run
an evolve agent edits the harness files
the next round keeps the edit or rolls it back
10 rounds later a one tool seed went from 69.7% to 77.0% on terminal bench 2
the codex harness people built by hand sits at 71.9%
craziest part
editing only the system prompt made it worse
all the gains came from memory, tools and middleware
agent = model + harness
the model takes the bow the harness does the work
drop claude fable 5.2 in that frozen seat and the loop rewrites everything around it
both papers in the reply

My life is over at 21.
Yesterday I lost another $150,000 gambling, leaving me over $500,000 in debt to casinos and loan sharks.
A year ago I was in college studying to become an engineer. Today I'm half a million dollars in debt because of online gambling.
I've spent so long chasing losses, thinking one big win would fix everything. Instead, I've permanently destroyed my financial life.
My brain is fried. I genuinely don't know how to get out of this anymore.

X AI ALGORITHM UPDATE (BIG ONE) 🚨
X updated their open source algorithm yesterday and the biggest number in it is gone: copy link went from 20 to 0 points. Small accounts should focus on: posts people like, reply to and stay on (so stop counting on link copies)
tl;dr:
- on Nov 13 X's open source code set the score for copying a post's link to 0
- copy link: 20 → 0
- it was the top score in the whole system, 4x a reply
- the code also names a "copy link bait" spam check
- likes (0.708), replies (5) and DM shares (5) didn't move
full details:
- The number that's gone
Since I started reading X's open source code in August, one number sat at the top: 20, for someone tapping share and copying your post's link. Nothing else came close.
As of the Nov 13 release, it's 0.
X still guesses who'll copy your link. It just multiplies that guess by 0 now.
X didn't explain it. It's just what the code says.
(I check the open source algo daily with Claude and share updates with you)
- Cross it off your list
My own checklist called copy link the biggest number. Last week's post said it too.
It was true then. It isn't now. If you saved that list, cross that line out.
- The "copy link bait" check
X's code now mentions a spam check called "copy link bait". In the code it adds a spam label to the post, and that label already keeps a post out of strangers' feeds.
It only shows up in a test, so I can't see if it's running or how strict it is.
My read: X saw people baiting link copies, so it turned the score off and built something to catch the bait. That's a read, the code doesn't say why.
- Why that matters if you're small
If your plan was posts people copy the link to, that plan now earns 0 in X's ranking.
A copied link can still bring people in from outside X. It just doesn't push your post up anymore.
What still pays: likes at 0.708 (the highest ever), people staying on your post, replies at 5 and back and forth with mutuals at 20.
- Also new: photo and video tags
If a post has a spam label, people you tag in its photo or video who don't follow you won't get notified. Same idea as last week's rule for replies.
- What didn't change
Every other score. Your new posts still get their extra push in the first 2 hours and first 200 views, and early likes still pick which one gets it.
Here's a recap of what you should be doing:
- aim for likes, replies and time spent, the copy link score is gone
- a DM share still earns 5, same as a reply or a quote
- likes sit at 0.708, never higher
- time on your post keeps counting at its best rate yet
- 10+ seconds after someone taps in adds 0.385
- write your replies yourself, under big accounts most of all
- give people a reason to hang around your profile
- in videos the opening seconds carry it, an open alone scores 0
- posts read to the end help X find you strangers
- smaller accounts (below 50K) get a shot at a spot near 16 for a fresh original
- early likes decide which new post gets that spot
- post when your followers are awake, the push lasts 2 hours and 200 views
- mutuals going back and forth earn 20, so follow back the regulars
- only your originals ever get shown to strangers
- like 1 and like 32 each unlock another way to reach strangers
- one strong post per feed, your second only counts 62%
- clips longer than 10 seconds for the video lists
- a post likely to win you a follow gets +4
- give your pinned post a look, it can affect the whole account
What you should NOT be doing:
- counting on copy link shares, they score 0 now
- baiting link copies, the code names a spam check for exactly that
- a spam label also stops your photo tags reaching non-followers
- AI-written replies under big accounts, "llm slop" is a flag X uses
- copy-paste replies, labeled ones skip non-followers' notifications
- chasing taps, 0.274 and dropping
- drifting off your topic, each probable "not interested" takes 53.07 away
- videos people open and leave, the open itself earns 0
- posting at 3am, it wastes the 2 hour push
- expecting replies and reposts to reach strangers
- an insult label, it hides that post from non-followers
- earning a misinfo or low quality label, which adds a warning and locks strangers out of liking or sharing
- 3 adult photos or videos among your latest 5 posts, that puts a label on you
- forgetting videos get rechecked at 64 and 512 likes
- one account label and strangers stop seeing you
- pinning a link to a site X rates badly, that can mean a label for a week
- posting your own old words again risks the copypasta flag
- a low quality link plus tagged strangers reads as spam
- bait for engagement, big or small it gets a label
- several posts back to back, they split the same feed
- hashtag piles, they do nothing
- bookmarks for reach, they score 0
- hoping a 3 day old post still lands in For You, it stops at 2 days

🚨 Will Smith reportedly crashed out on Instagram Live after his son Jaden was spotted with fashion figure, Michèle Lamy:
“I raised Jaden as a Christian, and I did everything I could to make sure he grew up with the right values. Now I’m seeing him associating with someone whose lifestyle I consider completely against everything I believe in all because of money? I cannot have that kind of influence around my family anymore. At this point, I’m cutting him off and disowning him, I cannot keep pretending I’m okay with this.”

In 2014, Elon Musk stood in front of an audience at MIT and told the whole world exactly where AI was going.
Everyone missed it. Because he used one word, and that's the only thing the internet remembered: "demon."
The headlines called him scared of killer robots. Tech blogs called it hyperbole. People moved on.
I went back and watched that moment. It's barely 2 minutes long. You'll never hear the word "AI" the same way again.
Here's what I took away.
1. He called it before almost anyone.
Someone in the audience asks about AI. His face goes serious.
"If I were to guess like what our biggest existential threat is, it's probably that. So we need to be very careful with the artificial intelligence."
This was 2014. No ChatGPT. Most people had never heard the word "chatbot."
2. He asked for rules 12 years ago.
"I'm increasingly inclined to think that there should be some regulatory oversight, maybe at the national and international level, just to make sure that we don't do something very foolish."
National AND international. In 2014.
Governments are still arguing about it today.
3. The demon line wasn't a joke.
"With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon."
And then the part almost nobody quotes:
"In all those stories where there's the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, it's like, yeah, he's sure he can control the demon. Doesn't work out."
Read that again.
His warning wasn't about the demon. It was about the guy who thinks he can control it.
4. Now here's what got me.
In 2014 he said: summoning the demon.
In 2018 he told Joe Rogan: "Nobody listened."
In 2023 he signed a letter asking AI labs to pause.
In 2026 he told The Economist he can't see any way to stop it anymore. His new philosophy? "Let's enjoy the ride." And: "If you can't beat them, join them."
Today he's building one of the most powerful AIs on Earth.
12 years later, the man who warned us about the guy with the pentagram is holding one.
My takeaway:
He wasn't wrong in 2014. He just realized nobody was going to stop it. So he decided to build it himself.
Whether that's genius or the exact ending of his own story, I honestly don't know.
So now I'm asking you:
Was Musk right in 2014?
Or did he become the guy in his own warning?
Tell me below. I genuinely want to know where people land on this.
