It’s time to take your ideas seriously.

You can now build apps directly in Fuser:

↳ a design tool for your favorite effects
↳ a game that gets the group chat to meet IRL
↳ a photo diary of textures to use later

Make it for you and your people.
Go live in minutes.

I really like this sort of thing, think it's the most meaningful work we can do with AI

New Anthropic Fellows research: the Assistant Axis.

When you’re talking to a language model, you’re talking to a character the model is playing: the “Assistant.” Who exactly is this Assistant? And what happens when this persona wears off?

[꒰ა clu ໒꒱ @t1ngyu3]

this started with a striking PC1 falling out of persona space

my main insights from the past few months:
⊹ “distance from the Assistant” is the main axis of persona variation across these models e.g. the most relevant thing seems to be “how Assistant-like is this persona”
⊹ this axis already exists in base models and steering with it makes them speak from the POV of helpful archetypes like therapists, coaches, and consultants
⊹ not all personas far from the Assistant are bad! the risk comes from departing the more predictable territory of post-trained behaviour

still have a lot of questions about what to anthropomorphize, what to treat as fundamentally alien…
