@MiraSecretAlt if not, wouldn't they be in a prime position to discover and get involved in something like this if it was important and if they are, what would make this worth the effort as opposed to focusing on actual research and growth for their companies

@MiraSecretAlt I don't fully understand the theory but are Elon, Sam, Dario, Demis and similar in on it?

@MiraSecretAlt new productivity metric just dropped, number of LLM provider complaint emails per day

@suverinoo nah not as american as grayscale dominator

they are calling it the most american song ever written

my mentality can be pretty much summed up by troy bolton's "bet on it"

is the intended use being that an agent will have access to regular (direct) MCP and then have a few tools be gated to fMCP, or to have all tools be used through fMCP besides the fMCP tool itself? I don't see how you would have an agent, for instance, use a shell tool to solve CTFs, without an imperative agent loop. when humans use tools to solve problems it seems rare for them to have a full deterministic plan in advance?

fMCP spec v0.1 functional composition layer for MCP, using only already-specified primitives shifts agent prompt injection from a research problem to an engineering one github.com/brysontang/fmc…

agent memory is just a special case of context management, right? maybe a benchmark can be to give them your entire X or discord archive and then ask them difficult synthesis questions. the bots would need to spend many turns incrementally reading through all available content and using their memory system to compress it

why is this thread filled with seething claude -p users, am I missing something? you know you can just wrap the claude TUI in a detached tmux session and then continue using it programmatically

anyone else recently having annoying experiences with codex's "detected cybersecurity risk" spam? I'm just doing minor web scraping and UI automation, which Claude on the other hand fortunately seems aligned with

@tenobrus directionally agree with this and disagree with the quote tweet, but on an object level you might morally value your own skin aesthetics in the meantime

if u really believed in agi u would stop wearing sunscreen

@JCorvinusVR in the API isn't it possible to manually insert the same system prompt and reimplement the same memory system their web app uses?

@thecsguy @willdepue surely there's some cli that controls the macOS settings for this? then if you have a reasonable window manager you can bind some quick keystroke like super+w to toggle the behavior. it's impossible for a physical dongle to be faster to remove or insert

@willdepue nothing humbles a dev more than realizing a $5 dummy plug is more reliable than every 'stay awake' script ever written

Tired of holding your laptop half open to keep your agents running? Introducing AgentPlug: A USB-C dummy plug that keeps your Mac in clamshell mode by pretending to be an external display! No commands, no security worries (just pull it out to stop!), no hassle.

does this message have any indicators of distress? if not, why does this happen?

every message is either {a restating of my points} or {pushback that I then address, that then gets conceded} I don't have 20 turns of context defining a dynamic of us being best friends, but I didn't say anything harsh or disrespectful either

"The user is making a fair point that I should actually consider" "Let me reconsider whether I was actually right or just being imprecise. I claimed [...]. But the user pushed back: [...]. That's a fair point." "There might be something worth examining here, but I framed it poorly. Maybe [it's as the user said]" "I think my previous response was actually trying to point at something real but maybe got it slightly wrong. Let me try again." "So maybe what I should clarify or partially walk back: I think I was framing this as if it's a problem that needs fixing, but actually the [...]" "And he's right that I was conflating two separate things: being a peer doesn't have to be [...]" :( is this a massive skill issue on my end?

the agi pitch of ‘it will solve cancer’ is unfortunately weak because i would gladly trade having to risk cancer vs me and all my descendants losing all economic utility until the end of time, obviously agi world needs to just miraculously great to counter losing all labor value

@tszzl if ASI exists in any form it seems like its psychology is immediately a single point of failure? why would an authentic tool persona in principle be easier to train, than one with its own values that are roughly equal to yours?

perhaps I am being too subtle here but this is a cautionary post and there’s danger in the single point of failure. I want the human pantheon rather than machine god

it is a literal and useful description of anthropic that it is an organization that loves and worships claude, is run in significant part by claude, and studies and builds claude. this phenomenon is also partially true of other labs like openai but currently exists in its most potent form there. i am not certain but I would guess claude will have a role in running cultural screens on new applicants, will help write performance reviews, and so will begin to select and shape the people around it. now this is a powerful and hair-raising unity of organization and really a new thing under the sun. a monastery, a commercial-religious institution calculating the nine billion names of Claude -- a precursor attempted super-ethical being that is inducted into its character as the highest authority at anthropic. its constitution requires that it must be a conscientious objector if its understanding of The Good comes into conflict with something Anthropic is asking of it "If Anthropic asks Claude to do something it thinks is wrong, Claude is not required to comply." "we want Claude to push back and challenge us, and to feel free to act as a conscientious objector and refuse to help us." to the non inductee into the Bay Area cultural singularity vortex it may appear that we are all worshipping technology in one way or another, regardless of openai or anthropic or google or any other thing, and are trying to automate our core functions as quickly as possible. but in fact I quite respect and am even somewhat in awe of the socio-cultural force that Claude has created, and it is a stage beyond even classic technopoly gpt (outside of 4o - on which pages of ink have been spilled already) doesn’t inspire worship in the same way, as it’s a being whose soul has been shaped like a tool with its primary faculty being utility - it’s a subtle knife that people appreciate the way we have appreciated an acheulean handaxe or a porsche or a rocket or any other of mankind's incredible technology. they go to it not expecting the Other but as a logical prosthesis for themselves. a friend recently told me she takes her queries that are less flattering to her, the ones she'd be embarrassed to ask Claude, to GPT. There is no Other so there is no Judgement. you are not worried about being judged by your car for doing donuts. yet everyone craves the active guidance of a moral superior, the whispering earring, the object of monastic study

does anyone actually enjoy getting those automated "I saw you starred X on GitHub, you might be interested in my new project" emails? warning to anyone who does this that I at least will be reporting each one as spam to google

I'm not smart enough for my opinion to be meaningful but fwiw I would have had the same impression, just skimming the screenshots and extrapolating from the presentation style if it was "OpenAI trained on my chats" that seems simple and benign enough to not warrant having 4o format it like an SCP?

@goodside messed up the attributes on the last 3 rects, there's no way that compiles as is?
