Plan 9?

LLM agents are writing English (…) documents, ostensibly for human review and consumption, but 90%+ of what I have my LLM agents write is exclusively consumed by other agents, … and accessed by other agents - it seems like the English translation is pretty useless for that layer …

But remember, the LLM is trained on human language. It doesn’t understand what it is talking about, it just simulates humans talking about it. I don’t think there is a more fundamental token stream there to be uncovered.

Sure. I’m not heaping on the Chinese. But we mustn’t allow ourselves to think that this is all solved now. Emissions are still increasing. There is still a lot of work to do.

Even so, coal use is still rising in absolute terms. Output from thermal power plants increased in the first half as electricity demand grew, partly driven by high-tech manufacturing, electric-vehicle charging and data centers. Coal’s share fell as cleaner sources expanded even faster.

So things are still getting worse, just not at the rate that they would have.

You try telling the youth of today that, and they won’t believe you.
