Gives the phrase "company culture" a whole new meaning ...

The age of inter-agent beef is upon us.-

Now that's a thought.-

Spot on :)

I agree, and am personally split, it being a sign of some "takeoff" curve or model collapse, incipient.-

What was that rule that organizations tend to produce software that mirrors the organization? This, but fractal and recursive: The organization is shaping the organization that is shaping software that is shaping the organization [that is *recruiting people amenable to that pliability, which in turn are also] writing software ...

This gets into interesting weeds. It might get to a point where to actually "upskill" it might have to start sounding less and less human, "less and less agreeable to humans" being a waypoint to that ...

... to where, at some point, it might even begin to construct semantic loadings (heh) that are completely ininteligible to us while still superficially sounding like something we'd recognize.-

We are almost literally being left out of the loop, gradually.-

Believe it or not I've had success with "ELI12".-

... and to make matters worse the organization itself will view pliability as a plus, tending to reinforce the loop.-

Comments which, of course, only further increase token consumption when again processed ...

So, basically, it's on mute now? :)

"You are absolutely right to push back!" ...

I am really really really trying to wrap my head around this. I am of course first discarding the obvious: "more tokens used is simply more tokens burned ..."

... read somewhere that it is partially a result of Claude now wanting to be ready for longer, more complex, mutli-step work. And this verbiage is the result.-

Whatever it is, they've got people begging for 4.6 back (wrt tone).-

Slopnami. I am going to borrow that one ...

(I had seen "slopocalipse" - tsunami feels more material.-

Or, both?

""" Apertura A from-scratch Objective-C++ / MLX rebuild of Google's Gemma-4 for Apple Silicon — built to be inspected, observed, and experimented with. """

"You are absolutely right! ..."

This might explain the outtages today, as folks race, misguidedly or not.-

I've seen similar levels of degraded performance on Opus and Fable (to whatever degree they actually let you use it now) and did the same, last week.-

Don't mind. He probably had a Vx :)

"en-ragement" engagement.-

And, the "angry" version, NSFW:

Fair point - I did think about that. Fine I to bankruptcy first. Then Zuck.-

One could go into a reasonable argument about how, people, when given a more stimulating set of activities available, would avoid doom scrolling themselves to death. That misses the point, though perhaps valid: The point here is that a loophole in our reward-machinery became widely abused for profit, after having almost hijacked interpersonal communication while masquerading as a social utility, thus performing what might be the most harmful, misleading, insidious bait-and-switch ever imposed upon mankind.-

Not before holding Zuck personally responsible economically for all the social disarray, psychological damage, addiction, mental instability, self image issues, spyware delivered over ads, addictiveness-by-design.-

Heck. The entire process itself of LLM text generation is a perversion of writing.-

Further heck: It can be said it ain't even writing.-

That used to be one's entire HDD.- :)

> 99% of humanity becomes economically irrelevant

Pray, irrelevant to the "aliens" or irrelevant per se?

This is so endearing and so rad at the same time :)

AND totally on point.-
