Prompt: Don't make any changes but what obvious questions are left unasked?

My job is “context wrangler”

A tool was adapted for use for those artists A tool was accepted and praised Welcome to the next iteration, we’re just in the middle.

Rodin did this crazy thing called change his mind, adapted, made suggestions like nighttime photos, not to mention didn't instantly attack the person behind the camera. A tool was invented A tool was called the end of a medium A tool was called soulless by the prominent artists of its time

I am having a blast plotting stories and analyzing stories with my /game-design skill I tell it "review this story as if it were an interactive game" or "plot the dynamics of a story as if it was an interactive game" In both spaces, the critical question is, "How is this fun?"

Photography changed the world because it captures what the world is experiencing in one moment Gen AI is important because it captures what imagination is experiencing in one moment

"Hello I am your Bluesky empathy coach. I'll be helping you with your prosocial endeavors today."

This is a really key point. Getting angry at another human being for using a fancy tool is really a big self-reveal Who made the antis gatekeepers over what tools I use and play with? They can mind their own damn business

I think being concerned with corporate AI slop is very reasonable. I think being concerned with your fellow humans creating what they want to create is objectionable. How could that possibly be up to you? What makes your taste so important?

Not X but Y doesn't require a look-ahead. It only requires a vague dissatisfaction with X (which vector space provides) and the assurance that the next few tokens are going to land in the right place Humans (some of us) are constantly self-editing but LLMs don't have that luxury

Opus: There's something funny (and a bit embarrassing) about a language model forgetting that narrative construction from partial context is its whole job, then needing to be reminded by the human that yes, I should actually do that thing.

if you care about the output, you can't one-shot the response the first response is a stream-of-consciousness formulating the answer

AI can help us learn hard-to-teach human skills, like showing empathy. Preregistered study of 968 people found almost no correlation between feeling empathic & communicating empathy. But a single practice session with an AI coach made people measurably better at it arxiv.org/pdf/2603.15245

Yeah I’d better unfollow that guy before I say something

I’m sad that guy blocked me. He was an asshole and he was losing badly

🤣

As I'm coding, I always prompt CC "Any questions?" Claude asks fantastic questions. Always catches stuff I missed

This is the output from a Markov Chain constructed from phonemes of a novel. Can you guess what novel it is? (It continues for 3000 phonemes) +

The selection of 🤣 or 😂 for context is a precise and delicate operation

Who will cast that first stone? HM?

So I took the stupid Stochastic Parrot paper and fed it to my phonetic Markov Chain program and it generated this (3000 phonemes): Then,

Opus: Go write the thing that makes the argument obsolete.

The other problem is the article floats into this weird liminal space where "AI" is just "not" Not a stochastic parrot Not reasoning But also not allowed to be something different. It's simply not allowed an ontological category Maybe she's trying to Zen the question

This one turned out really fun yuwakisa.com/warrior/

It really is wild the cognitive load (thinking) the models can take on, even outside Claude Code I'm having Opus walk me through a complicated install process at work, and it's pretty amazing how much easier it makes it (yeah I know I could just let Opus shell in to the ECR and do the setup but 🤷‍♂️)
