Do we seriously have to do Maoist newspeak every single time an 80 year old posts his idiotic ideas on the internet. It has been AI since before I was even born. Can literally anyone have a shred of dignity.

I'm sorry, but in the Boy Scouts I was taught to Be Prepared. And thus I always have a water bottle stashed in my bag because who knows that that day is gonna look like. And besides, this is also a dumb take for all the reasons everyone else is dunking on it.

Opus 5.5 comes out, advertised as having Fable's biosecurity guards. No problem, Fable has been AOK for a couple of months now. Switch from Fable to Opus, give it the same prompt I'd been using on Fable all morning, gets flagged. Oh well, great job gang.

Collage image featuring the magazine cover of 2600: The Hacker Quarterly Fall 1995 issue. Artwork is illustration of a web browser screen for oblivion.net and the main body is filled with a drawing of apes in an audience holding bats talking to each other and watching a stage or film performance with various scenes like a character holding a gun to the head of a woman while someone in background films with a camcorder; a bulldozer in a field with a telecom tower. Collage image magazine page of 2600: The Hacker Quarterly Fall 1995 issue. Movie review of Hackers (1995) titled Baby... you're Elite. Faint background picture of the cast of the film. Illustrated dithered artwork from cover of magazine in black and white is the surrounding background. Cutout page of 2600: The Hacker Quarterly Fall 1995 magazine issue. Movie review of Hackers (1995) text continues. Some film stills embedded at center including Angelina Jolie (Acid Burn), Fisher Stevens (The Plague) and Jonny Lee Miller (Zero Cool).

I think every major company is looking at open weight AI models and realizing they can just bring them in house with an internal engineering team and cut out the frontier model companies to save money. They have more control and privacy. I really don't see frontier labs surviving this.

Even when LLMs write well, the lack of variety in style is crippling. Reading the same prose in your instructions & social media & advertisements & software & PowerPoint eventually makes one queasy. Prompting & temperature only gets you so far. Real variation is needed (and under-researched)
