I’m ten thousand feet tall and takes only make me stronger.
Really experience the jagged frontier trying to build a Swift app with agent tools - feels like being 18-24 months ago, where models could theoretically get the overall gist of writing PyTorch models but would constantly make basic screw ups -

Darkly funny watching 5.2 trying to work from a PDF, where the tooling will barely let it look at more that two to three lines at a time. Like sucking context through a tiny straw. Poor model! Sorry! At one point it made a picture of a page to get around its own self-imposed file reading limits

I now see what people are saying about Gemini 3 Pro. This thing is deep fried to hell, it sucks. Not built for agentic work at the very least, feels like working with a model from a generation previous. The Mandate of Heaven is not with this one!!!

Ordinarily the way it scans would be annoying, but there is something very funny about the way “DM/beam/team” are rhymed as “DM/BE-am/TEE-am” that really sells the dopey fuckboy energy: open.spotify.com/track/1XkMxU...

Here ya go. I have a Firefox extension that sometimes works. Thanks for sharing.

Very funny moment in AI safety - Claude Code telling me that actually, no, it doesn’t want to keep optimising the R package we’re working on because we should take a break and test it locally. I mean: it is right, but also: shut up and make number go fast

K-pop is arguably the most purely modern genre, and the most likely to survive AI, since even if the music is good (and it can be!) it is obviously purely secondary to what the band _is_: you can read essay-ass Wikipedia pages about groups with no reference at all to what they, you know, sound like?

The real, cold horror here should hit everyone - that the universe may simply teach you the wrong lessons, or you may mishear it so profoundly that it distorts the rest of your life. What parts of your belief system are insane nonsense based learning exactly the wrong thing from formative events
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Had a horrifying intrusive thought where I imagined an alternative timeline where instead of listening to too much Das Racist and starting a comedy rap group in the 2010s, we listened to K-pop instead and started a comedy boy band

I’m not sure if it’s just conditioned on my Memory, but GPT5 sure has the wry-est sense of humor and turn of phrase of the frontier models:

“…is already plenty to fit a low-capacity recurrent model that can free-roll a couple minutes without going numerically feral.”

Tentatively hopeful that Knight of Seven Kingdom recaptures the essential appeal of fantasy stories that all 90s/early-2000s stories knew instinctively: going for a big ass walk

Over on the bad place, my feed is full of grifters, dog-whistles and “water hits different” inanity, but on the other hand here the discover feed is mostly placid and occasionally interrupted by the most harrowing furry mpreg nightmare you’ve ever seen, so it’s impossible to say which is worse

It is fun to get Claude Code to do data science (and it’s surprisingly good at it!) but unfortunately its base personality of a ADHD maniac with severe delusions of grandeur make the process unbearable.

It’s not a huge deal, probably, but it is a very funny symptom of LLM psychology watching it write test code that includes a print statement congratulating itself for fixing an issue /before actually testing that it’s fixed/.
September 16, 2025 at 5:55 AM
It’s treated as a weird quirk that one of the main intellectuals of the LLM era is a guy who wrote really long, obtuse fanfiction, but I would argue that we shouldn’t find that surprising at all, and that fanfiction presages the LLM in an important way as /the text-object that reproduces itself/.

I feel this is the appropriate critical approach to LLMs, and the one that will survive better - do wild Continental Theory stuff on them: cyborgism.wiki
