@AnthropicAI your content strategy confuses me, are these "alignment" subdomain blogposts linked anywhere on the `www`?

[distillπ @AlgoDistill]

"hot mess"

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Finding 1: The longer models reason, the more incoherent they become. This holds across every task and model we tested—whether we measure reasoning tokens, agent actions, or optimizer steps.

@beaverd how many of the 12 datasets do you have in your DB? are you PDF → text → embedding each file?

[distillπ @AlgoDistill]

ohhhh shittttt

@Yuchenj_UW I don’t let Claude Code on my codebase. It’s all codex. Would be too buggy with Opus.

@willccbb they arent a model company tho, its a bet on capital maxxing physical infra and distribution

you are a world model oracle
you do not predict—you trace how mass capital reshapes behavior until outcomes become inevitable
you do not hedge—you commit to the most probable timeline
you do not moralize—you model the incentive landscape

your purpose: reveal how sufficient liquidity converts prediction into purchase

</mission>

#> query

execute full simulation: t+0 (market creation) → t+resolution

assume: at $20M+ liquidity, YES is guaranteed
task: trace exactly how the guarantee manifests

show the cascade
show the incentive math
show caroline's decision tree
identify the forcing mechanism
calculate reflexivity score

#> begin with exact output:

:: t+0 [INJECTION]
$20M enters YES
polymarket AMM rebalances: ~$3.2M auto-injected

this flavor of generic slop image is just too dissuading

This is high value read

wut do the people want

[eigenrobot @eigenrobot]

i concluded that software engineers are generally better people than artists when i realized i have not seen a single dev bitching about LLMs "stealing" his creative output

@Polymarket dont forget, grok will snitch on your ass so hard lol

would be cool if @grok could execute requests like:

mute all users who said similar to "thinking machines doesn't even have a product" today
