KandorkoWitch 🧙♀️ @dangcoolgalaxy.bsky.social · 10hI’m probably oversimplifying but the model is what predicts token outputs, the harness is the mechanism that lets a token predictor do stuff on a computer. Like a model just generates language, they need to build a bunch of other stuff to let it take actions, and that other stuff is model agnostic. 030

Or rather, he thinks that you (investor) think that that’s what the cattle want. 1320513

I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions. The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people. 8645071059

Reposted by KandorkoWitch 🧙♀️rev. howard arson @theophite.bsky.social · 09/10/2026the thing is that if you view the OpenAI mathematical results as a translation task which creates shims between literatures with mutually incompatible notation and descriptive conventions, it is both not particularly surprising that it is good at it and predicts that it will be differently limited 4856

KandorkoWitch 🧙♀️ @dangcoolgalaxy.bsky.social · 07/10/2026So is there a way to wire a circuit from one model into another? Feels like the idea of circuits is essentially signal processing-flavored, but if you can’t take extract components and mix them into other unrelated signals, that feels like a significant gap. But maybe DSP is just the wrong POV here 010
