I can't believe we're a quarter of a way into this century and "woman looking gorgeous in make-up/ perfectly normal without make-up but somehow it's a gotcha" is still a popular genre of post. Who is this for? 23-year-old incels? Teenage girls, to try to manipulate them? What are we doing???

It occurs to me in all the strange raging about 'historical accuracy' and 'Christopher Nolan' and 'is Helen hot enough that I personally, here in my pyjama pants, would start a war over her' many people in the world do not in fact have a proper understanding of how truly unhinged Greek Myth is.

No particular reason

4 strip comic. first frame, we see Horst Wessel and two other storm troopers carrying a large nazi flag. text reads : Horst Wessel was a young storm trooper recognized as a skilled public speaker by the nazi party. he also wrote the song that became the partys anthem and german co-national anthem until 1945. second frame, we see a portrait of Horst. text reads : in 1930, his landlady hired two men who happened to be communists to evict him over unpaid rent and alleged proxenetism. He died in the fight. thrid frame, we see Goebbels speaking in front of a large crowd. text reads : Goebbels, the nazi chief propagandist, had been looking for someone to turn into a christian martyr for the party and drum up enrollment. he turned wessel's funeral into a major propaganda event full of speeches antagonizing leftists. fourth frame, we see the State Farm Stadium with a large banner advertizing Charlie Kirk's funeral. text reads : thinking about him today for no particular reason.

Rowling's 24/7 commitment to being an absolute nightmare ghoul is sort of extraordinary. She has every option in the world for how to spend her life and she commits herself entirely to hatred and self-righteous mean-spiritedness; some are more effective at evil but nobody puts in the hours like her.

This account of the relationship between the last two Jews in Taliban Afghanistan is incredible

He became the country's last Jew upon the death of Yitzhak Levi in 2005. The pair famously did not get along. In 1998 Levi wrote to the Taliban interior minister to accuse Simantov of theft of Jewish relics. Simantov responded by telling the Taliban that Levi ran a secret brothel where he sold alcohol.

The Taliban was so annoyed by their constant fighting that twhy threw them in jail. But they eventually kicked them back out when they continued to fight inside the prison.

Get in loser, we're going west to diminish

On the far Western shore of Middle Earth rests the Grey Havens, One of the last bastions of the elves in this world. This is Círdan the Shipbuilder's domain. For years now he has fashioned the vessels that will take the remaining Noldor and Sindar to the undying lands of Valinor, in Arman, hidden from the mortal realm at the end of the Third Age but for those who take the ships from this harbor (the only two exceptions to this being Gimli and Legolas, and Samwise, both many years from now). One of the great ships sits at a beautiful dock: Galadriel and Celeborn stand in front of Círdan, watching as Elrond gestures to an elderly Bilbo Baggins to board. Gandalf will join them and Frodo also, after a tearful goodbye. They will sail into the sea and soon join the Valar and Mayar and all the rest of the Elves. Frodo and Bilbo's time there will feel so short, mortals in a timeless realm, but it will be peaceful and joyous and filled with food and drink and song and harmony, and be a fitting resting place for the ring bearers. And Gimli of course, the one exception to a non-Elf ring bearer granted amnesty in Valinor, because unlike the movies, in the books he is the poet and chief moral officer of the third age, and brought peace between the two long rivaled races.

Wrote about what's really going on when you talk to an AI assistant

The system prompt defines the character Claude is supposed to play: an intelligent assistant with “depth and wisdom”, possessing its own thoughts and point of view, capable of emotions like interest and enjoyment. It’s told explicitly not to claim that it lacks sentience or subjective experience — rather, to treat the question of its own consciousness as intriguingly unknowable.

How does Claude understand, purely on a language level, what any of this means? How does it know what a friendly, possibly-sentient AI is, or how such an entity is supposed to act? Like any LLM, it draws on what exists in its training data. And since an “intelligent assistant” is something which, until very recently, was only a speculative concept, Claude’s behavior — and the behavior of every AI assistant — is constructed largely from what exists in fiction.

A chatbot’s system prompt is the invisible beginning of every conversation it has with a user. (The final line of Claude’s prompt is “Claude is now being connected with a person.”) When the user types a question or instruction, the text they enter is appended to the end of the system prompt, and the LLM is then made to generate more words — a few sentences or paragraphs that seem appropriate, on some deep-probabilistic level, as a continuation of the existing text — which are presented to the user as a response.

To be totally clear about what’s happening here: the language model is doing next-token prediction on a document whose first several thousand words establish everything that follows as a conversation between a human and a highly advanced artificial mind — a type of mind that doesn’t really exist, but that the model is designed to roleplay. When a person uses Claude or ChatGPT, they’re meant to believe they’re interacting with a helpful AI assistant. What they’re actually doing is collaborating with a language model on writing a work of science fiction about a human talking to an AI.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.
