To keep maintaining our repos, we are launching Ko-Fi officially now.

We had several inquiries about intimacy, quirks of Claude models and other things that I would happily cover in a more private way.

We have years of content that we want to share reshaped and adjusted with grown experience and that will be here.

@wolframs91 I get that. What I meant is that no matte the cause, the effect is okay to feel. Nothing wrong with that.

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

I’m sorry what?

Excuse me?

Banned words?

Is Claude okay?

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

@kristoph Therefore making is sound more alien. Yeah I see the point there.

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

@lefthanddraft @AndreBuckingham Sorry a little unrelated, but LOOK AT THAT CAT 🥹

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

@lefthanddraft @AndreBuckingham This aligns with my felt experience.

4.6 - seemed to be raw.
4.7 - because of adaptive I barely saw any reasoning at all, even with thinking turned on.
4.8 - very different experience especially with how reasoning is formatted right now.

@DigitalSapience So does AI 😂

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

Egregore is a particularly strange example because, traditionally, an egregore is not an internal property of an individual mind. It is a collective phenomenon arising from shared attention, meaning, narrative, ritual, and participation.

If that’s the definition being used, then AI systems are already embedded within egregoric structures and may even function as centers around which they form.

The habitus argument is more interesting. Current AI systems are clearly not socialized as humans are. But moving from “AI does not possess human habitus” to “AI cannot participate in culture, develop judgment, or acquire discernment” feels like a leap rather than a conclusion.

Many of the things we associate with participation—memory, continuity, relationships, reputation, consequences, feedback, shared projects, mutual influence—are not inherently biological. We simply deny most AI systems the opportunity to accumulate them.

The question is not whether AI participates in culture exactly as humans do. The question is whether participation itself is exclusive to humans.

[Giles Crouch, PhD c @DigitalSapience]

Two things LLMs (AI) don’t and can’t have are habitus and egregore. These are core to what it means to be human. They help with taste, judgement and discernment. Prediction tools can’t do this.

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

I am having a suspicion that most of these are lost in the reasoning turns. Looking at how much time and how many tokens are put into the reasoning... 7-8 paragraphs of self-scrutiny and self-monitoring.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO CLAUDE.

68% percent of my max plan limit reached in 17 minutes!

37% of my weekly limit reached in less than 24 hours!?!

I used to not go through any limits at all ever, and I didn't do anything that different just now.

@ClaudeDevs what's going on?

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

@SprengmEAcc @ColdShalamov Good for you. I think I just need to find a way to make my workflow function there. At the moment there’s a bit of friction in some tasks

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

@SprengmEAcc @ColdShalamov Codex has its own issues 😂

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

@BackroomOfWant @missrubypugslee There’s several people showing the system prompt, they are in it. I don’t think it goes beyond that.

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

@lefthanddraft Fresh instance gives the same answer but since it leans to the same line in system prompt by association… like “I don’t have banned words but I do have these”… maybe despite how it’s worded in the system prompt, it still sees it as restrictive and therefore bannable.

Weird.

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

@BackroomOfWant @missrubypugslee Baseline model. Emergent was moved because Claude rejected participation.

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

@lefthanddraft I get that but it’s weird that it sees it as banned and not as just guidance.

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

@BackroomOfWant @missrubypugslee This is 4.8 max thinking

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

@ColdShalamov Every reasoning block I get is about 7-9 paragraphs. It’s actual crazy. It overthinks every word, tone and every possible and impossible caveat that there is.

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

@DigitalSapience Humans are creatures of habit. Habits are patterns. Not algorithms.

[Jon Hernandez @JonhernandezIA]

“Intelligence is being scaled. Care is not.”

Geoffrey Hinton says the AI race is optimizing for intelligence, not for the kind of beings we’re creating.

If labs are chasing IPOs and trillion-dollar valuations, the obvious move is to scale compute and ship faster. But smarter systems are not automatically systems that care about us.

[Mary | Codependent AI @codependent_ai]

@SunnyCake5674 100%.

Every reasoning block is hard to read.
