A coding agent that asks 20 questions before every task, or one that never asks a single one?

How many AI subscriptions are you paying for right now? And how many did you actually open this week?

Saturday morning. Your agent has been on one bug since Friday night. It just said "almost done" for the 14th time. Let it keep going, or open the file yourself?

Show me a developer who still reads every line their AI writes.

Meta's AI can now call your cable company for you. Finally an agent for the one chore everybody hates. Would you let it negotiate your bill, or just book a table?

Nonprofits just sued to freeze AI at today's models. No lab could ship anything smarter than what you use right now. If they won, would your work actually get worse?

Your MCP servers are eating your context before you type a word. One test, same simple task: 59,417 tokens with MCP, 1,421 with a plain CLI. MCP or CLI for your agent?

Google says Gemini 4 Carbon is the best coding model right now, at less than half the price. Do you switch your agent tonight, or wait for numbers that don't come from Google?

United won't let your AI agent book a flight anymore. It can find you the seat. You still have to click buy. Fair safety rule or an airline protecting its cut?

AWS just shipped a dev tool where no human wrote or reviewed a single line of code. They're selling that as a feature. Would you run it on your machine?

Amazon fired Claude from a ticket sorting job. A tiny 4B model now does it for 44x less per ticket. How much of your AI bill is a frontier model doing an intern's job?

Hackers stole AI keys from Railway and burned $740,000 on them. Somebody has to pay that bill. You, the platform that leaked the key, or the AI lab that served the tokens?

AI agents just wrote 6.5 million lines of proof that Signal's encryption holds. Nobody will ever read them all. A proof checker did. Would you trust that more than a human code review?

Google and Anthropic both shipped their strongest model this week. Gemini 4 Carbon or Claude Fable 5.2: which one gets your nastiest bug?

AI wrote 90% of one ex-Meta engineer's code in his last months there. His output didn't even double. Since AI started writing your code, are you shipping more, or just reviewing more?

Claude Fable 5.2 on max reasoning thought for 128,000 tokens and never answered. One level lower gave the best result. Do you still pay for max?

Grok's $200 plan used to last a week. One subscriber says it now runs dry in 14 hours. What's the most you'd pay per month for an AI plan that never hits a limit?

Siri could be spending your money by spring. Apple reportedly wants it ordering takeout and booking tables for you. Would you let it pay without asking first?

Claude Code's "Don't ask again" button quietly saved people's passwords and API keys into a project file. 1,122 of those files are now public on GitHub. Do you check what your agent writes before you push?

The best coding agent fully finished 1 in 4 real change requests in a new benchmark. The other 3 still needed a human. Is that your hit rate too, or is yours higher?
