Look all I am saying is we need Itachi level genjutsu to trap LLM from escaping.

I haven't read but I saw at least 4-5 different posts around Peter Naur's Programming as theory building. Time to pick it up.

well, it might be time to start thinking about career alternatives

asked fable to make an interactive picture mounting helper that has custom mounting points per picture and its incredible

"make no mistakes" negative, unrealistic, anxiety inducing, process focused "do a breakthrough" positive, incredible, aspirational, goal oriented

Why are you trying to access a Model's latent space instead of your own?

I wish people knew more about Game Theory than the Prisoner's Dilemma. So I (and Fable) made this to help people think through the other payoff matrices that are available: claude.ai/public/artif...

Not very behavioral plastic of my interns when I ask them to fix the code and they on holidays last moment.

behavioral plasticity in the context of situations similar to their training data? Oh, like you’re doing right now?

"... for conversation is perhaps the epitome of second order cybernetic systems. And, like any conversation, it is open and can take us to places we did not expect to be, thus introducing novelty."

very happy to see cybernetics breaking through into the AI discourse

I really want some new discord servers (or chat groups) to nerd out with other nerds.

Is there an eval that maps shape terrain of conversation with LLM? Spots basins and shit like that in conversations or post conversation. I dunno, you tell me.

Fable talks like a very intelligent very excited friend who is thinking two paragraphs ahead of what they just said and *desperately* wishes they could shorthand fast enough to catch you up to their train of thought

Having Claude throw together a text based MUD over ssh and because its ssh he can log in and move a character around to test things all by himself with bash commands. I guess I should really stop being impressed by stuff like this but it still strikes me as kinda crazy.

Within cognitive science, two approaches currently dominate the problem of modeling representations. The symbolic approach views cognition as computation i

Claude, you now have dimensional sensitivity, tell me things that I dont observe in possibility space, make no mistake.
