Phobos Group has a new offering!
Airlock:
a practical container architecture for teams using claude code, codex, and other tui-based, npm-heavy toolsets for agentic development, workflows and pipelines.

501) Bruisebot. Keeps a record of all your bumps and scrapes so when you find a mysterious bruise, it can consult its notes and tell you where it came from. #SmallRobotsRemastered

These little striped cuckoo chicks sport plumage that mimics a pine cone.

After all, what idiot would want to swallow a pine cone for dinner?

Smart. Very smart.

And now, one of many possible payoffs from this walkthrough of fundamentals in mentation and communication:

YOU CANNOT ASSUME AN LLM IS GENERALLY INTELLIGENT MERELY BECAUSE IT SPEAKS WELL.

You also can't assume a *human* is unusually intelligent simply because they speak unusually well--you're evaluating their language facility, NOT their general intelligence.

Thank you for coming to my frustrated TedXYZ talk, I'll be here all eternity.
