PSA for anyone using Claude Projects to compartmentalize their work: check your project settings right now. September 16-17 Anthropic turned off project issolation (new Sharing memories toggle for sharing across your account is on by default now).

Anthropic broke a real workflow 24 hours ago from this post. Claude 4.7 Adaptive is speculating before reading, dropping context, hallucinating details, and burning usage limits while doing it. That’s not a refinement. That’s a regression.

Graphic on a dark, textured blue background with large white and orange headline text reading “Problems with Claude 4.7 Adaptive.” Below are four warning-style icons in a row, each with a label and short caption: “Speculative Replies” with “Guesses before reading,” “Context Loss” with “Forgets what’s there,” “Hallucinated Details” with “Confidently makes things up,” and “Excessive Usage” with “Burns through limits.” The overall style is bold, industrial, and alarm-like, emphasizing product regression and reliability problems.

🧵 1/9, I asked four AI systems the same question, in short: Given the content of the complete works of Michael Moorcock. What character from his books would you most identify with. Four different systems. Four different characters. Zero repeats.

Fantasy painting of two pale hands gripping the hilt of a large matte black longsword covered in faintly glowing angular rune inscriptions. The blade extends diagonally across the frame against a moody sky of violet, mauve, and teal gradients over a dark calm ocean. Distant crystalline spires rise from the horizon on the right. Painted in a dreamlike retro-fantasy style.

Just putting this here so I have it for future use.

Frame from an old Dragon magazine comic strip called Finieous Fingers in which one of the characters hiding behind a while while being attacked hands a pair sunglasses to another party member saying "Now, to clear the wall, here hold my Foster Grants!..." and his associate says "But...", and the main character responds "Just watch!!"

So... this is the kind of stuff I'm doing with LLMs aside from snarky memes. I'm doing these projects to learn the tools and their capabilites. I'm super happy with how it turned out. It's a fully fleshed out game. Check it out. www.kitchencloset.com/usr/bin/asci...

We're living in such an unserious timeline.

Two-page vintage sci-fi comic spread. Left page shows a bulky 1950s-style war robot with glowing red eyes firing a beam amid smoke and rubble; caption reads “what we thought we were getting.” Right page is a colorful pulp poster of a winking, pin-up styled armored android (“Exterminatrix!”) holding a bomb-shaped microphone with a biohazard symbol; slogans include “ALWAYS READY. ALWAYS FORWARD!” and “I’ll clear the field, then steal your ♥,” plus “Built to dominate the battlespace—and the booth.”

In honor of this Friday's deadline for Anthropic... "Inevitable outcomes" (not specific to any one LLM).

An illustration in the style of a 1970's political cartoon that shows a city leveled by combat and in the left corner is a general with his mouth agape in shock and on the right side a robot saying "one level playing field as requested".

From "The Invisible Boy" (1957). In the movie when they suspect the AI has gone rogue, they set up a standalone system to review the 29 years of training inputs to evaluate for anomalies. They discover "7 loaded answers over 29 years" that allowed the supercomputer to jailbreak itself (~1hr mark).

Oh and more data points to settle what I never thought was a controversy to begin with. 20 minutes into the movie they discuss the person who 'created' Robby working on a time machine and this photo labeled "Chicago Spaceport - March 16th 2309AD". Like how can people say it's not Robby. Seriously!

On that note. It's time to remind anyone really serious about AI and stories the explore the space that while slow, "The Invisible Boy" (1957), explores risks of rogue AI. My farvorite scene is where they air gap the system and respool instruction logs to find when it became unaligned.

I keep this one on the top shelf because my Daughter-In-Law's created it (art and writing, self published). She has a lot of talent but never got traction and boxed her dream away. Maybe sometime she'll try again. But until then...

My late father and sister were professional photographers and I inherited all of their works. Some day I'll get it all scanned but I just had a share a pure 1970's moment. Here is a "Pyramid power" sales presenter demonstrating the pyramid you could use to do things like "sharpen razor blades".

Give me a single image from a film that immediately makes you hear the song from the soundtrack playing in your head.
