Fable built me the ultimate "Second Brain" why did I wait this long?

this does not compute...

GPT 5.6 Sol solved another Erdosh... how can this be? I was informed that it's just a... -fancy auto-complete -stochastic parrot -matrix multiplication

@sama @KatieMiller 😂

@KatieMiller no, i pay $84/year

@cahitmars it talked about the "collective fiction" we create as societies, so I take that to mean religion, ideologies, power structures... all of it (btw, I'm using religion here like "organized religion" not "belief/faith")

@WesRoth Did it list religion?

I asked Fable 5 "What's the biggest scam humanity has collectively accepted?" it listed stuff that's interesting, but familiar; working your life away, chasing immortality through legacy, the idea that legitimacy flows downward from institutions rather than upward from people... (100% agree on that one, btw) how Claude ended this really got me "maybe none of these are scams at all, just the unavoidable overhead of coordinating eight billion primates." 😅

@staticjedi Forth frame is us looking for someone to blame

@WesRoth So ...

@MaxZiebell Accurate

@WesRoth Claude watching us primates trying to understand the world...

this is too accurate...

@ScottFree369 I've had to reset a few times. with Fable 5 I felt like I had to work to hit the weekly limit (granted I didn't have that much time to devote to using it) with GPT 5.6, I've hit various limits repeatedly, but that might have been because I was testing 'ultra' mode etc

@WesRoth This is very interesting! How are you finding the rate limits?? I'm considering switching from Anthropic max as my sub is up in the next couple days 🤔

ok GPT 5.6 Sol just cleanly solved something that Fable 5 was struggling with it created multiple approaches, tested each (with a "Full benchmark report" at the end) and then gave me final project that uses the best approach time: 39 minutes 32 seconds.

am wrong or is it saying "there's no one to blame but yourselves, you stupid monkeys"?

did it in one shot, better than ANY model I've ever tested before it's working on part 2 now. if it nails that I'm officially a Sunworshipper!

@TheZvi not yet

Do we currently exist, today, in a 'global surveillance state'?

thanks for keeping the casualty rate so low Mike, it's a good podcast!

when @fchollet starts vague posting, you know we're approaching the end game...

@javilopen Claude spins up an army of agents and prepares an all out assault, the plan is ready... usage resets to 0% me: shut it DOWN! CLAUDE OMG, shut it down!

Experiment: reply to this post with your last reply to any other post on X

same here...

@theo same

I still prefer Fable btw

@Slazerslaze absolutely, I need to ask it to create a list of stuff it can do just to usefully burn thru tokens

@WesRoth absolutely ;-). I let it do anything, just to use those damn tokens.

there's nothing as frustrating as realizing you have Fable 5 usage left 3 minutes before it resets... "Claude!! Claude wake up!! Do something useful NOOOOW!!!"
