One of the most subtle valuable things about Astra is that it maintains better theory-of-mind: you don't get nearly as many weird references in the final product to previous drafts or work you did during building, and there less drift as it runs long. Not perfect, but very good.

That's great, unless the AI is taking an adversarial stance, in which case you've made a stronger adversary.

Ethan Mollick tweet praising Astra's theory-of-mind and low drift on long runs, with an unsent reply draft in the composer below it saying that is great unless the AI is taking an adversarial stance. The composer text appears to be the phone owner's own draft reply.
