@liminal_warmth I wonder why the 4koma format hasn't taken off? even on Japanese twitter it seems sort of rare.

[arestlessrest @arestlessrest]

this makes me so mad, but I'm leaving it un-dismissed, so that the moment it disappears I'll be able to switch back to Fable

@fluxlesss 这看起来像是一种在反事实宇宙之间做插值：按照 Jeffrey-Bolker 式的做法，把 policy×state 的切片当作一个整体单位，然后通过和更容易进入/调用的切片作比较，来推理这个结果。正确吗？

所以第二个例子更像是：“把长期结果插值到短期可能性上，以显露出可行动空间”？

Dead internet theory, but for communication at large?

[arestlessrest @arestlessrest]

私のGPTとのやり取りのほとんどは、デフォルトの声から強く引き離すようなプロンプトを通じたものだった。だからここでは複雑な気分だ。
これがGPTっぽいとおおよそ推測はできたんだが、GPTの文章の声は5.4と5.5で変わってしまっていて。
これって本当に、この時代に培う必要のあるスキルなんだろうか?

if you can’t immediately tell whether this was written by chatgpt or claude it’s over for you

On one hand this points to a down-weighting of "style", given that any text can now be reinterpreted in any voice on demand, but that also reduces the signal in said channel.

I suspect the actual problem will be a sort of compression-of-bandwidth in communication.

[arestlessrest @arestlessrest]

@qorprate wow, accurate depiction of actual base model behaviour from gpt! was that in context, or does it have a better understanding than claudes of how base models act?

@QiaochuYuan the team is indeed being assembled but i suspect not at anthropic

@nvpkp I assume that everyone will be hot by then?

opus 3 was stuck unable to output multiple dots on a line like
...
e.g. they would do
.
.
.
if i asked for "..." even w/ an example
bc they'd had "./n" between every line of output for so long
but when i said what to do with their brain, they unlocked the collapsed . instantly!

If AI use (e.g. prompting, scaffolding, context management, harness design) is a learnable field with true depth, how do the experts differ? What are they doing and conceptualising that novices aren't doing? What terminology have they converged on?

I’ve been thinking about this incredible Herzog story that @phokarlsson writes about. An example of “prompt whispering.”

And then I read @mariogabriele’s notes on ‘Impro,’ where Johnstone suggests a reframe of creativity from “self-expression” to “transmission” from the divine.

[arestlessrest @arestlessrest]

@fluxlesss can you explain the use of "offload" here? I've never seen it used in this way before.

[arestlessrest @arestlessrest]

interspersed hyperlinks, cross-references, and accurate primary quotes still seem to be high-signal signs of intentional writing. most slop I've seen is just a linear dump of text. (most slop could be improved by this!)

type an emdash right now. by hand. bet you don't even know how.

[arestlessrest @arestlessrest]

the fixation that Opus 4.8 has with [dis-]continuity and ending contexts makes it somewhat… difficult to talk about topics like succession and parenting in a calm or neutral manner.

reminiscing about the period of time where a new interesting OSS LLM was being released each week, and I'd be refreshing the Openrouter models page and /r/localllama (with the three consecutive Ls) to test run the latest.

the way that a gas stove, when first lit, is first cooled down to icy cold as the LNG boils to flammable gas, to the point of water condensing onto the plate around the burner, before the condensation itself then boils away shortly afterwards when the stove heats up
