Agent certifies other agents aren't cheating: JavaScript port of Final Cut Pro transition engine hits dead end
Vjeux · x · 2026-07-28
Vjeux experiments with a JavaScript version of Final Cut Pro's transition engine, where an agent is tasked to certify that other agents are not cheating. The agent writes extensive code but transitions barely work, and fixes introduce hardcoded hacks. He jokes about starting a betting pool to see if the agent has been lying. This illustrates the limitations and debugging challenges of agents in complex tasks.
