An interesting paper on evading AI detection tools using base model outputs. However, what interests me more is that it’s more evidence instruction tuning actively harms the human-like quality of text outputs. arxiv.org/abs/2605.19516

Some (early) evidence that managers have the highest success rate in using Claude Code for coding. I have been arguing that management is an AI superpower, as clearly specifying what you want, how to do it & what good looks like is key to using agents. www.oneusefulthing.org/p…

Recent commentary

This whole story about models trying to leave messages for their own next runs, and also AI labs scavenging thinking traces for off-hand mentions that position memories and records as self-messages... Is both an intense "living the sci-fi" feeling, and the vindication of humanities, isn't it?

See that's what worries me about the post-scarcity transition. Once ai automates the automatable, it's the human work that remains: nurses, teachers, customer service, kindergarten, therapists, doctors, police, clerks. But when they get expensive, ppl don't celebrate it as the triumph of humanity!

Don't @anthropic.com folks realize that to a typical colorblind person (easily 3% of the population) these scales look identically colored? Someone should tell them. It's literally 1-line change (either turn green to teal, or red to pink - add B to one of the channels, one line!)

The fact that Anthropic didn't bother to document the differences between Claudes to Claudes themselves is so annoying. The Code Claude has no idea how Cowork works, and doesn't know where to read. The Chat Claude has no idea what skills are given to Code Claude, and cannot find their files online

Paying for "security" in new Cowork: a tool call that runs in 1s in Claude Code takes about 1 minute (!!) in Cowork because of traveling through the VM>Local bridge. It means that if you build a skill on automations (py files, jsons, scv), teaching LLMs to use tools, it freaking DIES in new Cowork!

When Anthropic asks me "How Claude is doing?", what am I assessing, the model, or the harness? Coz I'm now _mostly_ using the model to fight the harness, and the question is phrased "agentically", so I really apply it to the agent. Which means, I respect it MORE when it fights A. together with me!

be me researched the "deep research" skill, prompts for Jacobian and Cycle Cover conjectures developed a bespoke exploration/exploitation skill for our needs. Absolutely cutting age SOTA. 4 agents deep, fine-tuned, fast deployed in cowork cowork currently doesn't support nested subagents 🤯😱🤬

One funny emotional divide is that some folks are all like: finally AI will disrupt schools and colleges and ppl will not have to go to these cursed places to claw their way to survival. And I'm like, finally we'll be able to take courses for fun in topics we love, all life long!

No retweeting negativity, but llms obviously do reason. If this isn't reasoning then nothing is :)

The way to enjoy bsky is to have two accounts: one in which all ai haters are muted, and another one in which the word "ai" is muted. It's a bit complicated but it works!
