I’ve used llms in two ways while writing fiction. First I’ll have a story idea and use the llm to explore what has come before that may be related; then I’ll go read some stuff. This has worked great for seeing where my ideas fit and flushi

I have shared this dismay. I’ll have opus create a plan, I read it doubtfully. And then sonnet implements it. I am surprised it went so well. I theorize the redundant verbosity effectively builds rails that help keep llm focused. I will ex

Interesting to read it originated as part of PLATO. I used notes at a company in the early oughts. This company was a big user of ibm mainframes. It was bizarre and although it was purported to have all this capability I couldn’t figure out

Now do this on all the altcoins code bases out there. Everyone and their dog was either rolling their own or forking and not syncing with upstream. I just assume most altcoins are pwned at this point.

The television series “Person of Interest” featured an ai that had its memory wiped everyday as a safeguard. It created a company that employed people to save its memory every day and reload it (visually it was pages of print outs). Thus it

I was jealous of the speccy basic. The ms basic the c64 shipped was anemic, you had to have deep, hard to obtain hardware knowledge to do anything with it. Custom characters and character gfx were the most accessible for kids. I pieced toge
