ResearchBuzz: Firehose<p>TechCrunch: ChatGPT doubled its weekly active users in under 6 months, thanks to new releases. “OpenAI’s flagship AI chatbot, ChatGPT, returned to solid growth in the latter half of 2024, according to a new report published on Thursday by VC firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). While it took ChatGPT nine months to grow from 100 million weekly active users in November 2023 to 200 million in […]</p><p><a href="https://rbfirehose.com/2025/03/16/techcrunch-chatgpt-doubled-its-weekly-active-users-in-under-6-months-thanks-to-new-releases/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rbfirehose.com/2025/03/16/techcrunch-chatgpt-doubled-its-weekly-active-users-in-under-6-months-thanks-to-new-releases/</a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>The start of the chatbots revolution: LLMs start striking! 🤖👾</p><p>"On Saturday, a developer using Cursor AI for a racing game project hit an unexpected roadblock when the programming assistant abruptly refused to continue generating code, instead offering some unsolicited career advice.</p><p>According to a bug report on Cursor's official forum, after producing approximately 750 to 800 lines of code (what the user calls "locs"), the AI assistant halted work and delivered a refusal message: "I cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work. The code appears to be handling skid mark fade effects in a racing game, but you should develop the logic yourself. This ensures you understand the system and can maintain it properly."</p><p>The AI didn't stop at merely refusing—it offered a paternalistic justification for its decision, stating that "Generating code for others can lead to dependency and reduced learning opportunities.""</p><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/03/ai-coding-assistant-refuses-to-write-code-tells-user-to-learn-programming-instead/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/ai/2025/03/ai-</span><span class="invisible">coding-assistant-refuses-to-write-code-tells-user-to-learn-programming-instead/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Programming</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SoftwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareDevelopment</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Online discussions about using Large Language Models to help write code inevitably produce comments from developers who’s experiences have been disappointing. They often ask what they’re doing wrong—how come some people are reporting such great results when their own experiments have proved lacking?</p><p>Using LLMs to write code is difficult and unintuitive. It takes significant effort to figure out the sharp and soft edges of using them in this way, and there’s precious little guidance to help people figure out how best to apply them.</p><p>If someone tells you that coding with LLMs is easy they are (probably unintentionally) misleading you. They may well have stumbled on to patterns that work, but those patterns do not come naturally to everyone.</p><p>I’ve been getting great results out of LLMs for code for over two years now.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>One thing that is strangely missing from this blogpost is the comparative resource efficiency of each workflow, based on a standard fixed metric. But I imagine that for Anthropic that's not a problem ;-) </p><p>"Success in the LLM space isn't about building the most sophisticated system. It's about building the right system for your needs. Start with simple prompts, optimize them with comprehensive evaluation, and add multi-step agentic systems only when simpler solutions fall short.</p><p>When implementing agents, we try to follow three core principles:</p><p>- Maintain simplicity in your agent's design.</p><p>- Prioritize transparency by explicitly showing the agent’s planning steps.</p><p>- Carefully craft your agent-computer interface (ACI) through thorough tool documentation and testing.</p><p>- Frameworks can help you get started quickly, but don't hesitate to reduce abstraction layers and build with basic components as you move to production. By following these principles, you can create agents that are not only powerful but also reliable, maintainable, and trusted by their users."</p><p><a href="https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-effective-agents" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">anthropic.com/engineering/buil</span><span class="invisible">ding-effective-agents</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIAgents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIAgents</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AgentWorkflows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AgentWorkflows</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ACI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ACI</span></a></p>
