Claude Sonnet 4.5 outperforms Opus 4.1 for coding/agentic tasks - working autonomously up to 30 hours! It recreated my entire Obsidian Vault dashboard from screenshots on first attempt using my Promptotyping technique. Exponential AI coding growth from spring to autumn 2025.

Spent the last days at a stained glass/metadata/AI workshop in Münster. Never touched stained glass before but loved the nerdy discussions - from flowers blocking church photography to heritage at risk from demolitions. DH projects are complex and need domain-specific solutions.

Summer school is done; autumn school is next! Giving a presentation on my 99% LLM-built stained glass research tool in Münster. These aren't text generators — they're operating systems. Big Tech monopolises coding & research, while critics still dismiss it as 'stupid technology'!

So, I guess LLMs are a thing now? Enjoying day two of the "Large Language Models in DH Research" summer school in Cologne! A huge thank you to @chpollin.bsky.social for the incredibly insightful input and enthusiasm. I'm excited for what the next 2 days of learning will bring #DigitalHumanities #DH

I'm really excited to be teaching at the Summer School "Large Language Models for Digital Humanities Research" in Cologne next week!

Easy Problems we can actually work on:

Skills Atrophy - AI erodes validation skills
Expert Paradox - Needs validation yet amplifies experts
Evaluation - Unpredictable, hard to assess
Communication Gaps - Hype vs reality
Integration barriers
Attribution/provenance blur
Compute inequality

(Currently) Hard Problems of Frontier-LLMs

* Alignment
* Duck Problem
* Epistemic Asymmetry
* No-Responsible-Usage
* System Coercion
* 4th Human Injury

My taxonomy attempt - what's missing? What would you change?

Kein Plateau, kein KI-Winter. AGI Labs pushen Mathe/Coding für ~Selbstverbesserungs-Workflows. World Models wie Genie 3 zeigen Fortschritte. Pre-Training bringt noch was trotz höherer Kosten. Test-Time Adaptation und Agenten haben Potenzial. Nichts spricht gegen weiteres erfolgreiches Hochskalieren.
