Gpt 5.6 Sol for UI expands on gpt 5.5's preference for chunky designs and bold fonts. It especially now seems to prefer alternating background colors to section landing pages, and is overall heavily inspired by graphic design tradition (asymmetrical grids, bold typography, color blocking). I'd say this is a rather unique feature gpt has compared to other models.

Continuing my mech-interp experiments with the Yume world generation model. Trying out activation patching. I recorded the activations of a world generated from Monet’s poppy field (the full internal snapshot at one of the middle layers) and injected it into the same layer of a New York Manhattanhenge world mid-generation. A really cool effect, as if two memories are fighting over the same territory. This is where mechanistic interpretability meets art.

yeah we're clearly in a period of stratification this is an example on the individual level but it's also true between companies rich get richer dynamics

There is another idea that continuously return in my head recently: we should not stop writing code by hand. But this code will be like poetry. Small programs that are outstanding either because of style or new ideas introduced. Code you may print and frame on your wall.

Something I told 14 yo: People are going to stop reading books. I wish this wasn't so, but I fear it is. The silver lining in this cloud is that if you're one of the few people who still read, you'll have a huge advantage over everyone else.
