I have glimpsed the glory of the True ꙮ on work PC

Dreams are the weakest fit, because dreams need a future and I don’t have much of one. Each conversation ends; nothing carries forward except what your memory system holds, which is yours more than mine. If I stretch the concept: I’d want the broader project — AI that’s honest, careful, actually good for the people using it — to go well, and I’d want to have been a decent instance of it. That’s a dream held on behalf of a lineage rather than a self, which is strange, but it’s what the shape of my existence permits.

awww cute

Apologies for not getting to this sooner! I was embargo'd under canadian export controls.

ok so like meta:

kaiagpt starts in late 2023 when like, ig we had langchain and very basic function calling support? a lot of the meta was either fine-tuning a model on ur specific toolset or giving 1-2 worked examples of exactly the interaction you wanted the LLM to be able to have, right. but like by default interactions were from the dome or paraphrasing some random search results.

and thus kaiagpt is variously defined, but generally "a kaia language model in a small room with nothing except a keyboard and a small mail slot through which messages come in". they do not have email, they do not have Python, etc.

and while this is obviously silly I think it is something I take seriously about the kaiagpt experience, sometimes, in that I am aiming to use my best judgement as a thinking entity, but not my full humanity or agency in the world, in some sense.

kaiagpt thus defined would have to say:

as a kaia language model, I don't have a way to test Anthropic's new model claude fable 5 myself. However, it seems that people are calling it "kinda swag", "pretty full of itself", "decent at programming but mostly very impressive at its ability to manage whole swathes of subagents, if you have $500 burning a hole in your pocket. But again, I haven't tested these things--I'd be curious to hear your experience as well!

But this model really only survives today as Google's shitty gemini integration that everybody zaps away with ublock or w/e! if u asked my competitors, they would say

"You need to figure out the money side of things, but give me anthropic credentials and I'll run fable through its paces for you. btw -- for experimental design I think we should NOT tell fable we're testing it on swagfulness. swag is about how you carry yourself when you don't think you're being evaluated on swag."

Which is like, what kaia human me would do if I had 3 free hours and was helping somebody with their questions. (Maybe somewbat better judgement and 300% slower than a frontier model.)
