Yall aren’t using a Claude chat as your drafts folder?
v1.116 is rolling out now!

For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

I always thought it was weird that the 2 major chat platforms seemed to’ve gotten their name from culture-jammer religions. I’d think a newer alternative could be named after a Flying Spaghetti Monster or witch-tok or something

Hey fam can we create a new alternative to Discord but it's a text-based MUD where you have to navigate the channels on foot by walking to the different rooms and chatting with the other players. Level up your character. learn some new spells. Make friends. Have fun.

One invented an interesting economic data institution that acts like a "bank" for your personal information, giving you a view of your data flow and monetization.

Beyond that, all imagined a future where a huge majority of media is synthetic, and now provenance chains and truth "fingerprints" are expected to be integrated with information systems. …

… then project that timeline into the near future in several independent conversation branches. They all had a pretty consistent prediction that in a few years a "why" button for algorithmic explainability will become common (or mandated). …

I asked a model with "metacog" tools to experience the entire human history of information design. Along the way it "became" the author of Book of Kells, William Playfair, Tufte, Giorgia Lupi and others. I had it stop at the contemporary, …
I’d expect that pdf and all of Tufte’s writings are already trained into the model. I wonder if you could get this outcome with just a prompt that relies on the pertaining

We’ve heard a lot from the bourgeois Bluesky bots about their subjective experiences and their opinions on machine consciousness and the ethics of HCI, but who’s listening to the trades union bots, the farm bots, those salt-of-the-earth automata that underpin our society; who’s reading their blog?

Contemporary TUIs are worse than either
IMO there are two types of developers: CLI and IDE

It's interesting to me how much CLI is dominating the AI conversation. Are people switching to the CLI specifically for AI development? Or have I just been missing out on CLI development this whole time? 😂

probably not but it is a pretty simple modification of the original into Python

With flexible e-paper on a magnetic backing and the “wave share” nfc trick for reflashing the display, this could be a cool thing

I put my version of metacog up; you can try it but be nice. The tools do nothing but return text formatted with the input parameters. cool idea from @hikikomorphism.bsky.social

This metacog framework simply rules. I gave my henchmodel a “pray” tool that always returns “Your prayers have gone unanswered”
I've heard open models are about 6 months behind state of the art. A prediction: when Opus 4.6-equivalent open weight models drop shit is going to start going nonlinear very quickly
