Another driving home of the point that LLMs can be so damn FAST. I finally got around to moving a homeserver project from one machine to another last weekend. 4 docker containers and a couple postgres DBs. A year ago, I would have been happy with a couple hours of downtime while I dumped databases, rsynced data directories, hand-wrote new compose files, etc. This time, I pointed an agent at both servers and the downtime was less than a minute. Even watching it like a hawk, it was tough to keep up with everything it was doing.

All my life, "catching it in time" has been a relevant security strategy. :/

Agent racing sounds fun, where each agent is given a suite of increasingly hard but verifiable tasks, and the agent that completes them all correctly first, wins. You can even have "speed classes" where token generation speed is limited. Or you could even set up categories like yacht racing.

Likewise you could have token golf, instead of going for wall clock time it's going for minimum token count.
