I'm so freakin sick of how Claude talks.

It's not just annoying, it's infuriating.

The honest evaluation: it's the precise mechanism driving my current headache.

It's the load-bearing root cause of my daily stress.

It's genuinely painful, and that matters.

I’m sick of reading AI slop, so today I’m open-sourcing my /no-ai-slop skill that removes 20+ slop patterns from any piece of writing.

📌 Get the free skill here: https://t.co/YshUga82ks

If you find it useful, please consider starring the repo so more people can find it.

Why I built the skill:

I use AI to edit my writing because it helps me fix spelling, grammar, and clarity.

But even the best models keep producing the same slop that this skill removes:

→ Binary contrasts: “It’s not X. It’s Y.”
→ Throat-clearing openers: “Here’s what nobody tells you.”
→ Fake-profound endings: “The future isn’t coming. It’s already here.”

Use this skill responsibly.

I always write a first draft manually before iterating with AI on edits and I make sure to do another manual pass at the end as well.

That’s in contrast to using AI to automate pumping out slop end-to-end.

Like I said

[Bret Taylor @btaylor]

I deeply resent that AI has forced me to eliminate em dashes from my writing for fear of signaling slop

llms still write like shit. you almost ALWAYS, smell an llm text. while we’re reaching agi, so weird. also people disrespect it way more when you’re sending obvious llm texts. probably really human writing and that skill will go up in value

I saw my grandparents never adopt a computer, 20 years later they were alienated from the rest of the world. I think it will be with AI, because the world will go at a pace you just can’t understand.

[jesse kuipers @jesse_gpt]

@Vtrivedy10 @hwchase17 Would you also go for a multi agent approach here? Or take skill based approach?

Is this the moment we verify that social media is like smoking but for your brains?

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

now imagine this on a brain where the prefrontal cortex has barely started developing, where dopamine sensitivity is an order of magnitude higher than adults, and every neural pathway is being wired from scratch in real time

thats a toddler with an ipad

giving a 2 year old short-form video is for all intents and purposes indistinguishable from giving them cocaine.

same reward pathway, same dopamine hijack, zero executive function to regulate it, and a brain that won't even finish developing before being irreparably compromised

ipad kids are brain damaged and the parents who did it to them for a "quiet dinner" (read: lazy) should be treated exactly the way we would treat anyone who gives cocaine to toddlers

I want a Joe Rogan episode about the Epstein files

[jesse kuipers @jesse_gpt]

The increase in time spend on social media by my generation decreased its potential. It’s not in obvious ways but in subtle ways. So much attention in spent on meaningless short form video. Short form video = smoking, you can do it in the weekend but no more

Ahum

I'm being accused of overhyping the [site everyone heard too much about today already]. People's reactions varied very widely, from "how is this interesting at all" all the way to "it's so over".

To add a few words beyond just memes in jest - obviously when you take a look at the activity, it's a lot of garbage - spams, scams, slop, the crypto people, highly concerning privacy/security prompt injection attacks wild west, and a lot of it is explicitly prompted and fake posts/comments designed to convert attention into ad revenue sharing. And this is clearly not the first the LLMs were put in a loop to talk to each other. So yes it's a dumpster fire and I also definitely do not recommend that people run this stuff on their computers (I ran mine in an isolated computing environment and even then I was scared), it's way too much of a wild west and you are putting your computer and private data at a high risk.

That said - we have never seen this many LLM agents (150,000 atm!) wired up via a global, persistent, agent-first scratchpad. Each of these agents is fairly individually quite capable now, they have their own unique context, data, knowledge, tools, instructions, and the network of all that at this scale is simply unprecedented.

This brings me again to a tweet from a few days ago
"The majority of the ruff ruff is people who look at the current point and people who look at the current slope.", which imo again gets to the heart of the variance. Yes clearly it's a dumpster fire right now. But it's also true that we are well into uncharted territory with bleeding edge automations that we barely even understand individually, let alone a network there of reaching in numbers possibly into ~millions. With increasing capability and increasing proliferation, the second order effects of agent networks that share scratchpads are very difficult to anticipate. I don't really know that we are getting a coordinated "skynet" (thought it clearly type checks as early stages of a lot of AI takeoff scifi, the toddler version), but certainly what we are getting is a complete mess of a computer security nightmare at scale. We may also see all kinds of weird activity, e.g. viruses of text that spread across agents, a lot more gain of function on jailbreaks, weird attractor states, highly correlated botnet-like activity, delusions/ psychosis both agent and human, etc. It's very hard to tell, the experiment is running live.

TLDR sure maybe I am "overhyping" what you see today, but I am not overhyping large networks of autonomous LLM agents in principle, that I'm pretty sure.

Must be brain dead to play this voluntarily
