13th April 2026 The problem is that LLMs inherently lack the virtue of laziness. Work costs nothing to an LLM. LLMs do not feel a need to optimize for their own (or anyone's) future time, and will happily dump more and more onto a layercake of garbage.
Left unchecked, LLMs will make systems larger, not better — appealing to perverse vanity metrics, perhaps, but at the cost of everything that matters. As such, LLMs highlight how essential our human laziness is: our finite time forces us to develop crisp abstractions in part because we don't want to waste our (human!) time on the consequences of clunky ones. — Bryan Cantrill, The peril of laziness lost Recent articles - Meta's new model is Muse Spark, and meta.ai chat has some interesting tools - 8th April 2026 - Anthropic's Project Glasswing - restricting Claude Mythos to security researchers - sounds necessary to me - 7th April 2026 - The Axios supply chain attack used individually targeted social engineering - 3rd April 2026.
