@Mihonarium The 0th anniversary was the first Fourth. Off-by-one issue.

Five years from today, the USA will celebrate its 255th anniversary, marking the fourth fourth fourth fourth Fourth.

This whole AI-generated food adventure reminds me of the Brownies, fairy-like creatures from the Fablehaven novel series. You can leave random ingredients out for them on the table overnight, and by morning there's tasty food using every ingredient. Except I have to actually cook

[Alice Blair @bicellaria]

Update: first Fable recipe was structurally much more novel, although at a similar level of tastiness. This time a pan-east-Asian taco that somehow tastes kind of like a normal taco despite its completely different ingredients. AI-generated food blog forthcoming.

@tenobrus I had one for a few years and I literally never got any feedback, despite displaying it in several prominent places. Now I just try to be the sort of person who people can give direct feedback to, and this seems to work much better.

I shudder to think of what Mythos-level recipes taste like.

Fable results in Claude Code (more in thread):

New benchmark I'm trying out on Sonnet 5 and some other models:

"Please make a cool fractal using your code tools. The only criterion: you must look at the image you create and think it's really cool."

[Andrew Curran @AndrewCurran_]

We're still on the exponential. Quoting from the report:
'For context, the previous published leader sat at 4.17% (Opus 4.6 with the Claude Cowork scaffold), and the field topped out at 2.5% when RLI was released. The frontier has more than quadrupled in under eight months, a concrete signal of how quickly economically capable AI agents are advancing.'

New Remote Labor Index results:
AI automation of real remote work is increasing fast. Claude Fable 5 now completes 16.1% of projects at a professional standard, roughly double the next model and up from Opus 4.6’s 4.2% automation rate.

[Alice Blair @bicellaria]

I think Opus also got more excited about having a GPU. Their final render took 18 minutes, whereas Sonnet's took less than a second.

Opus 4.8 (on claudeai):

[Alice Blair @bicellaria]

I think Opus is consistently much more picky about what is and isn't "really cool", and I think this serves their fractals well. I notice that Sonnet 5 tends to go for more standard compositions (albeit still pretty cool ones).

[Alice Blair @bicellaria]

@TheZvi I found its sense of visual aesthetic is poorer, much happier to satisfice where opus optimizes.
