I am unable to access Bluesky from the office network for an extremely funny reason. I host my own PDS at the domain in my username. That domain hosts the file you'd expect it to host. My domain is blocked for hosting malware.

we've finally confirmed it: AIs have problems with group projects, too
when forced to perform a 4-round deliberation process, teams composed of different LLM models perform worse than their strongest member alone
Research shows multi-agent AI teams struggle to leverage expertise, consistently underperforming relative to their best members—even when identifying experts. This challenges views on AI collaboration, highlighting a gap in harnessing collective intelligence. https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.01011

ahaha, I'm regenerating the map labels to reflect the fact that they are landmarks on a landscape rather than classifications of individuals, but I might need to do another pass (Sonnet may be less diplomatic than Haiku)

hard to say. they all get really rather into their roles; the weaker models (4o etc) are quite gullible, and the frontier models take advantage of this. Grok is not very good at task completion, but *is* good at killing (make of this what you will). they all seem generally quite good at scheming

there is an API for it, but it costs $$$ and comes with limitations: developers.google.com/maps/documen...
a few years ago, the protocol was reverse-engineered: github.com/retroplasma/...
I vibe-ported that into reusable, somewhat-more-production-ready libraries, then built a client around it

okay i sort of stole the cluster files from theo to make this little fork with more atproto features, obviously he did 90% of the work but now you can do fun things like
- find accounts in a line between you and another person
- find accounts in the center of a triangle between you and others +
