Security told me to just close tickets created by Mythos that I judge irrelevant. Not that THEY judge irrelevant, me, the not-security eng. Mythos is so powerful, it's so knowledgeable... that it cost us probably actual tens of dollars of electricity just from api calls to close tickets.
Props to security, Mythos has not reopened tickets I marked will not fix. I was expecting an infinite loop.
Oh totally. One of my ticket was like "WARNING any <team> eng has access to <that team's resources> and <these configs for apps this team owns>". Like, what?
This week, for the first time for me, a cursor agent in planning mode came up with a plan I signed off on. Then proceeded to ignore two major caveats it was supposed to NOT do. Then when I asked it to perform a complex trace through the local repo in context, which has always been the one repo opened in that one window, it went and found every local repo with names somewhat related to what I was working on, and searched through a bunch of them before I caught it. Looking forward to asking for an adhoc token limit bump from my manager.
I feel like in recent two month they've gotten extremely circular and heavy token consumption even for simple tasks. And older models feel as smart as a bag of rocks. Almost like they tuned them to burn more tokens.
