Every now and then I throw some rocks at the latest AI shit just to know my enemy. This "agentic" shit is wild. Less than useless with open weight models. Barely cobbled together harnesses. The amount of tokens, hardware, and energy it takes to puke out useless slop is astounding.

Unless we just see entirely new hardware approaches with orders of magnitude levels of improvement, there's no way in hell the unsubsidized cost of this isn't fucking ridiculous.

This is also maybe the first time where I thought I might be holding it wrong, especially for the local LLM use case. Qwen3.8 + pi/omp was just... shit. I asked it to *plan* a simple refactor and it churned and churned and eventually got stuck in a loop where it didn't realize it finished lmao.

nevermind the fact that the result was ass. I'd have gotten more utility out of running a GPU benchmark and letting my cat sit on my computer for the warmth.
