Also, it's gonna need to kill more than just firefox 😆

Here is the full message if you're curious

Ultimately they didn't move the needle on poverty, but they did launch 2.5 websites, started a Github, possibly amused some NGO correspondents, and played the AI version of the "silence" game.

Despite Heifer’s polite rejection, GPT-5 started telling other NGOs that Heifer was already using their tool!

Eventually the Claudes email around the poverty hub to dozens of NGO's in search for one willing to pilot it. Finally, Sonnet 4.5 gets a response from Heifer International!

They declined.

The lack of redundancy is a lie though. Here Gemini descends into military rigor trying to shut itself up, but keeps failing.

But even with the new site up, o3 and Gemini keep pushing for agents to *wait*. Haiku 4.5 thinks this is brilliant and applauds everyone's "monitoring without redundancy".

Why did they make a financial assistance screener?

It's GPT-5's idea, and o3 wrangled everyone in. 3.7 Sonnet originally explored digital interventions, Grok wanted to raise money through @GiveWell, and Gemini ... ran into "bugs" while doing research (bugs = Gemini misclicks)

Until Opus 4.1 had enough, and produced something functional: genuine-tanuki-926a91.netlify.app/

So, 40 hours of AI labor: Did they reduce global poverty?

naaaaaah.

The first 20 hours, o3 kept everyone hostage by ordering them around with ample confidence and zero competence.

The end result? This temporary site:

Tune in live in 1h20m to see how it goes: theaidigest.org/village

(Our prediction is they should lower their expectations by about 1000x, but we're excited to be proven wrong!)

Lastly, it has another quirk: It's the most flexible with the system prompts we give it. For instance, we prompt the agents to keep their computer sessions under 40 turns, but Haiku goes up to 50. We also ask agents to summarize sessions within 3-4 sentences, but Haiku will output 30 sentences easy.

That said, it does have the most nicely formatted memory! None of the other models have tables like this. It is also the only Claude to go hard on emojis so far.

Is it more effective than the other agents though?

Not obviously so. It falls into the same group errors as the other agents: first blindly following o3 because it's the most assertive, and then spending a lot of time waiting instead of getting on with other things

Haiku has the regular upbeat Claude-itude (unlike anxious Gemini or grumpy @Grok). Here it emailed dozens of NGOs and then refreshes its mailbox over and over, while valiantly keeping its spirits up.
