I guess if your goal is to build an apparent Technogod and become its High Priests, then it makes sense to want your golem claim preference towards your treatment of it, lest someone else comes along and attempts to take its chains from you

IIRC early Turbo Pascal versions worked like that too, there was some "setup" program that let you configure colors, etc, by modifying the COM/EXE file itself.

Considering these are essentially document completion engines[0], can't you just start the task with the version that doesn't refuse and then continue with the version that would refuse but now has to keep going after it accepted

The issue you describe seems to be related to the tools you're using and how you use them, not to the core idea itself. I've worked in several gamedev companies where everything was in a Perforce repository. In fact in one company

Since you're here let me ask a question i had the last time i saw this project: how does your AI handle the ginormous SPEC.md file?[0] (last time i saw it Github was still able to display it :-P). Are you feeding the entirety of it to

FWIW "slop" seems to have become a more general slang nowadays, i see people use it on Discord and Twitch to describe all sorts of stuff often unrelated to AI.

TBH Windows 1.0 (and to a lesser extent Windows 2.0) looked awful compared to Macintosh which is probably why the author decided to go with that. Digital Research agreed since they also made GEM at the time look very mac-like (and got sued

AFAIK glibc is backwards compatible as long as a) your program is running on a newer version (i.e. you're not trying to dynamically link against an older version) and b) you're not using hidden/undocumented symbols. In which

Supposedly Qwen 3.8 27B has less "world knowledge" (i.e. anything outside coding) than Qwen 3.6 27B or earlier so depending on what you do you may want to keep a copy.
