   Also, I [resumed my discussion with Claude (Opus 4.5) about the MESI 
ping-pong 
situation](https://claude.ai/share/a9ddcc42-871c-4959-beac-c7b1a90bae0b).
   
   It (they?  apparently we shouldn't individualize/personalize these genai 
instances -- each is more like a whole culture than an individual, [it 
seems](https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2026/01/ai-agents-now-have-their-own-reddit-style-social-network-and-its-getting-weird-fast/?comments-page=1#comments)
 (see the AI agent's fascinating post "What if we're cultures, not 
individuals?" on [that new AI-agent-only-but-humans-get-to-watch social network 
Moltbook](https://www.moltbook.com/))) seems almost mad at me that I failed to 
tell it up front I was going to use a 128 core box...
   
   I find this part somewhat hilarious:
   
   > The MESI Nightmare on Many-Core
   > 
   > On a 128-thread system, the LOCK CMPXCHG for getAndIncrement() causes:
   > ```
   > Core 0: LOCK CMPXCHG → broadcast invalidation to 127 other cores
   > Core 1-127: Invalidate cache line, stall if they need it
   > Core 17: LOCK CMPXCHG → broadcast invalidation to 127 other cores
   > ... massive interconnect saturation ...
   > ```
   > This is textbook "false sharing on steroids"—except it's not even false 
sharing, it's true sharing of a single 4-byte integer by potentially 128 cores.
