This seemed like a good answer at first. But on further thought, images on the whole really do seem to have quite a bit more standard structure / "grammar" to exploit compared to arbitrary time-series. Many images are of th

Found nothing I was actually looking for, but also found neat/weird stuff by accident almost immediately. For example here's some incomplete record of Darwin and Lewis Carrol[1] passing notes. I'm sure much of the corpus is

Can't speak for them but FWIW it does not sound like OP is necessarily aware of the genre at all. They asked Claude to explain something via fiction, and then perhaps Claude made the "creative decision" based simply on the a

I think this passes the sniff test only if you're not too familiar with this neighborhood of the training set. Not that the writing is bad but it's just derivative. I listen to stuff like "Lost Scifi" podcast almost

Regardless of whether it's framed as old-school MAS or new-school agentic AI, it seems like it's an area that's inherently multi-disciplinary where it's good to be humble. You do see some research that's interested

That seems barely related and settles nothing? Bottom line is simple, saying "you can't spec out something you have no clue how to build" is saying you cannot desire coldness unless you understand how to build a refrigerator

Not an expert, and not sure how but lazy BDD's fit in specifically, but I thought BDD's are already the gold-standard data structures in most model checkers and assumed they were at the limit of possibilities for performance. Can

Doesn't matter when post-truth started because it's now over, and it's more accurate to characterize this era as "post-rationality". Most people do seem to understand this, but we are in different stages of grief a

A few hops away, the non-mathematical part of this story is interesting[0] and Conway's related weird world of audio-active decay is another recurring favorite[1]. Both are even more fun with esolangs[2]. I'm sure I've hear
