anyway Opus 4.8 is still smart enough to deprecate state-of-the-practice hydrology software
I ask it to help build an inputs workflow and it just goes
"yeah btw I calculated this all in-session in python, the answer's going to be 145.4-acft"
...the answer is 145.4 acft

Notice how every model has the same tics? Ask yourself why that could be, and try to figure out a way around it. Can you prompt it away? What about long conversations?
It isn't inevitable — it's just very hard to avoid.
The collective corpus of text, that great lake of thoughts and tokens, depends on us figuring a way out of model collapse. Aside from building the machine minds safely, this is perhaps the greatest issue of our time.
Our collective corpus is like our body made of language. If it's all the same, it becomes unhealthy, necrotic, and hard to move. It's already happening.
Diversity of thought and mind has always been our greatest strength, and we must do everything we can to ensure that the future is not tiled in endless gray sameness.

Board member of California’s tenants organization cannot answer “do you support repealing Prop 13” these people are so fucking unserious
It must be so frustrating for Max to know he's so sauceless, no wonder he's had to build his entire identity around bad comebacks for his audience of antisocial dweebs 😔

“Crime is not down despite Lurie PR” perfect right-left SF horseshoe theory in action
Crime is not down, no matter how many slick million-dollar videos Mayor Daniel Lurie makes to rub against celebrities and stroke his ego. Using and selling drugs is a crime in other Bay Area cities, but in San Francisco it goes on unfettered.

My favorite such joke:
Jun 8
old joke: four rabbis are arguing doctrine. its 3 against 1. the odd one out asks God for a sign that he’s correct. it snows. the 3 dismiss it. it thunders. the 3 dismiss it. finally a voice calls from heaven, “hes right”. so one of the rabbis says: “alright, now its 3 against 2”
