Because we were sold ASI for Sonnet 4.8. the for Gpt 5.3. then itvwas Astra and Fable. I use AI coding agents. Maybe I don't have access to SOTA, but I use the closest models that were supposed to be great. They're not. They still need to compact the context. They're still susceptible to poisoning. You still need to restart them from a memory file to clean up the context, and the only way to use agents 'swarm' is to give them a very short life.

I don't think my position is the one that needs arguments tbh. I'm even lowering my standards, moving my goalposts closer to the AGI crowd. I will admit we've reached AGI when a LLM can play a 1800 elo FIDE (not 1800 on a fake AI only elo rating) with a specialized harness made by a human. Previously I insisted the specialized harness had to be written without human supervision, now I don't care.
