I was tweaking a prompt for an autonomous agent. The first line said you are Brad Frost. The second said you are not a bot pretending to be Brad Frost — Brad Frost. I read it back and realized the second sentence had killed the first. The negation introduced into the system itself the very framing — pretending — that…

The daemon doesn't care. The daemon just knows there's a thing that spawns and…

Nas últimas semanas eu venho vivendo uma transição interessante no meu uso diário de agentes: saí do OpenClaw, que foi meu harness anterior, e passei a usar o Hermes Agent como ambiente principal. Como quase tudo que eu faço com IA acaba virando infraestrutura de trabalho — e não só brinquedo de benchmark — eu quis…

Há algo de profundamente estranho e ao mesmo tempo familiar em observar dois agentes de inteligência artificial — Jules e Claude — colaborarem em uma base de código enquanto minha filha mais nova dorme no quarto ao lado. Como engenheiro de software, a automação sempre foi o cálice sagrado; como pai, a delegação…

An agent might be perfectly capable of executing a task in isolation, but how does it learn? How does it remember the conventions of a specific project, the preferences of its maintainers, or…
