Secret Agent has a slow, difficult beginning (~hour). Not much happens. And it's not clear why what's happening is happening, particularly for someone unfamiliar with Brazil's political climate in the 1970s. As someone…
Have been looking for an orchestrator for AI workflows including agentic workflows and this seemed to be the most promising (open source, free, can self-host, and supports dynamic workflows). But have not seen anyone…

Oh my gosh, their IRB approved this as exempt knowing all the details? Initially, my guess was that the researchers misinformed the IRB about what the experiment involved. But the IRB approved as exempt an experiment…
This was (1) research with human subjects (2) where the human subjects were deceived, and (3) there was no informed consent! If the IRB approved this as exempt and they had an accurate understanding of the experiment,…
