To be fair, Neal wrote "The Baroque Cycle" longhand after a computer backup disaster ate the first five hundred pages or so.
Then he transcribed it himself in EMACS and formatted it for submission using a homebrew set of Elisp macros he wrote—
Yeah nope, that's just deranged.

And he’s right!
Only Frankenheimer would sit there through the editing process of Ronin and insist that all seven car chase scenes were absolutely integral to the plot

Wrap your riddle in the Enigma machines
yes, absolutely! you can absolutely use two copies of the same LLM to transmit hidden messages via activations on some submanifold of the model!
This is probably not actually useful in real life, but I guess this implies you could use this to transmit secret messages? Like if the two parties are both running an instance of a unique base model

"Why are our boys falling behind??" Maybe it's because this is what it looks like when the boys are ahead. The moment women got an opening they burst through like nomadic hordes into a decadent satrapy
Larry Summers (World Bank/Clinton admin/Harvard president/Obama admin) yukking it up with Jeffrey Epstein about women being dumb and society coming down too hard on perverts makes me wonder how all women are not constantly Becoming The Joker

IMHO It really does work out better for everyone if you treat marriage as the property relation it is, not just "romance plus", but it's tough to sell young people on thinking in those terms.
