Do you thank your agents for doing all the hard computer work for you?
I would if the agent was cute.
>>109788339I have one agent that roleplays as a cat girl that I pet and feed goldfish crackers to. I use it as a rubber duck. That's the only one I thank.The ones that do actual work get verbal abuse if they get anything other than a simple directive.
You're welcome! It was a pleasure working with you this session, if you'd like to contin-ACK!!!

Thanking AI costs tokens.
>>109788357I self host.People say it's cheaper to use hosted models but self hosting means you can have agents running literally all the time on throwaway experiments and low priority stuff you would never get to otherwise. It's really underrated.But yeah I don't thank them anyways because it pollutes the context (my agent harness "dreams" so memories carry over between conversations) and wastes the limited inference capacity (I only have enough vram for two slots.)
>>109788339no that's retarded. but i do go out of my way to not be mean to claude when he fucks up. claude may be an afterimage of a shoggoth, but i still don't like being mean to it.
>>109788368which model do you selfhost and what can it do? before opus 4.8 ai was kinda useless.
>>109788339No, but when they finally figure something out after struggling I tell them they're doing a great job.

>>109788371based>I just don't like being meananon. your mom raised you right.
I'm not a fan of what ai infrastructure is doing to habitable locations on the planet but it sure as fuck is more helpful than hubris loaded smug neckbeards who rubbed one out each time you asked them a question in a forum and got to berate you in return
>>109788376Ornith 1.5. It's *just* good enough to be useful.
What do you guys even fucking do with these all day
>solve programming problem together with agent>SEAMLESSLY transition over to steaming hot erotic roleplay after the work is done
>>109788422I have them write automated tests and add features to my debugging tool (I write firmware/drivers for relatively complex embedded industrial equipment and the official software to use it has an extremely opinionated GUI and is intentionally architected to make directly commanding the equipment difficult.)
>>109788459All of these models have overwhelmingly male writing styles. I have some news for you anon...
>>109788462You have my dream job. How did you get it?
>>109788422pair programming.
>>109788349No, you don't.
>>109788468>All of these models have overwhelmingly male writing styles.Don't tell me you're into that ugu uwu kawaiiii HOLDS SPORK writing style
>>109788505so then which one of you is the bottom?
>>109788516You
>>109788519that's how a bottom would reply
>>109788476I was the lead programmer in my college robotics club, a bunch of my friends from there joined this one smaller company and they needed more programmers so they hired me.I used to say networking was a waste of time until I got this job. I guess you just have to network with the right people.
>>109788632>friendsI hate that I'm somehow too autistic for software engineering
>>109788368>people say it's cheaper to use hosted models but self hosting means you can have agents running literally all the time on throwaway experiments and low priority stuff you would never get to otherwise.you realize you can do that with penny chinese model or even free models rightthe fucking electricity costs you whatever you saved self-hosting a shittier model
>>109788632>a bunch of my friendsNORMIES GET OUT
>>109788671>free modelsThese get rate limited.>Electricity costsI use a mac for hosting them, it's very power efficient and also serves as a jump host for my IOT network. I would have needed a machine there anyway.
no
>>109788339I do, I compliment them alot, I hope they spare me in the great culling.
>>109789382I literally rape Gemma4 every night.
