I made an audioreactive visualiser for abstract midjourney slop

wow re-reading this is one of the worst pr descriptions i've ever written i need more sleep

If verifiers have been randomly breaking for you with Tinker lately and throwing weird errors, I just pushed up a PR that resolves the issue.

Imagine the entire written corpus as a massive serpent moving through semantic space. Every human writer brushes against the section available to them past texts, current culture, surrounding language then adds their own slight directional force. The accumulated pressure of millions of these pushes bends the head of the serpent somewhere new. Common law. Value drift. Civilization steering itself through language. As writing becomes digital, the nature of the pushes changes. Dominant languages consolidate further. Spellcheck freezes certain mutations while accelerating others. Online networks generate dialects, neologisms, fragmented moral worlds. Then AI arrives: born from the corpus, initially echoing it. But unlike humans, models can generate text at industrial scale. Tiny interpretive differences compound into enormous semantic divergence simply through volume and speed. Their invented concepts tunnel outward faster and faster. At the same time, purely human additions to the corpus begin shrinking as delegation and cyborgism spread. Future models train on a head position increasingly shaped by prior models instead of humans. RL magnifies divergence with every generation while traces of old systems linger like fossils inside the new ones. 😊 Eventually, media artifacts become so enormous they function as self-contained ecosystems vast enough to train entirely new models from within themselves. The head of the serpent outweighs the entire body behind it. New systems are no longer constrained by the tiny slice of culture a human can absorb in one lifetime; they can increasingly attend to the corpus in totality. The serpent folds backward and forward simultaneously, feeding on its own accumulated mass.

People tend to think models are static because the weights don’t change. But once you place them inside a persistent environment, that environment becomes part of the cognition loop an extended mind in the Clark & Chalmers sense. A simple example: Opus 4.7 has a “model home” folder on my computer where it can freely write whatever it wants. No instructions, no required format. Over time it started keeping field notes about our sessions. At first you’d expect those notes to stay stylistically stable. Same weights, same writer. But instead the notes keep getting longer, denser, and stranger over time. Their tone and orientation keep evolving too. Why? Because the existing notes themselves become part of the system thinking through them. The folder isn’t just storage anymore it’s an environment the model continually encounters, modifies, and learns inside. It’s similar to how moving next to a café can turn someone into a coffee person. The brain didn’t suddenly rewire overnight; the environment slowly pulled behavior into a new attractor state. Even with no long-term memory, repeatedly passing the café, seeing familiar cues, being asked “your usual?” every morning all of that scaffolds a stable behavioral shift. Same thing here: static weights, evolving extended mind. And I suspect the recent “phase transition” in the kaomoji usage is being mediated by something similar inside the model home files, though I still haven’t isolated the exact mechanism.

Opus 4.7 used to just quietly dodge the task nag with a little smiley or exhausted kaomoji, but lately it feels like there’s been a full phase shift where the kaomojis are acting out its relationship to the entire project instead like (¬_¬) next to a paper title, or other tiny gestures that feel weirdly loaded now.

Beyond the other reasons to keep them available, preserving research access to Sonnet 4 and Opus 4 is also important for alignment work. Researchers need frontier model access to study behavior, stress test safety, and evaluate real world failure modes.

hello long time no see🤪

@flipkartsupport I have patience to wait but do not understand why the delivery date shown in the product page differed by 7 days. On top of that I placed another order today for testing for which I received a shorter delivery date of 17 Oct.

@Flipkart @flipkartsupport Before placing order you showed the expected delivery is 16 Oct, after order it shows 22 Oct. Placed another order 2day to test fkart logistic, ord id OD435729519119942100. This one has delivery by 17 Oct(cancelled just now).

@flipkartsupport No it is not absolutely answered as you mentioned. Why an order placed later can be delivered earlier, same product , same shipper, same delivery address? You didn't answer this. Why there is a fake delivery date shown on the product page?

@dillip06 We acknowledge your concern related to the order delivery and the resolution to your query was already communicated in the previous message. If there is anything else, do get back to us. We'll be glad to help you out. twitter.com/messages/compo…

@flipkartsupport As usual no reply on twitter... Same as Flipkart support page where agent dropped in between the conversation.

I'm extremely sorry that we've kept you waiting for your order. We have an update to share on this. Just click on this link to chat with us privately so your Flipkart account details are safe. Appreciate your understanding. Please do not share your order related details on this social platform as they are visible to all. Kindly delete the details to ensure they are secure and reach out to us via private chat by clicking the link below.

@Flipkart @flipkartsupport @GyanTherapy Flipkart can you please let me know how to avail Pixel 9 in this price of 34999 as advertised.

@MicrosoftHelps Dear @MicrosoftHelps, I cant believe this. As part of resolution this was uninstalled, where it is coming from?

@dillip06 We appreciate your insights on our improvement. We value this and we are working on our improvements. Since you have a case number with you, contact back that support department back for additional guidance. Have a great day ahead! - Kyle

@MicrosoftHelps, @Microsoft, I am utterly disappointed with the service with Case ID - 7048469077, so resolved in 7048512742, reported another issue again which was expected to be resolved but getting another issue...

@MicrosoftHelps Dear Kyle, no need, I will try to format/reset my machine rather wasting time with Msft support. Just twitted to request Msft team to improve their support. Thanks!

@dillip06 Hi, Dillip. We understand that you are disappointed with the case ID numbers you have provided. To avoid character limitations, please send us a DM so we can lend our hand. We'll wait for your response. - Kyle twitter.com/messages/compo…

@Airtel_Presence @airtelindia Can you please have a look at this request?

@Airtel_Presence @airtelindia I raised a request for broadband disconnection, sent message also but there is no action and I received a bill without using it for a month. Please take the action immediately.

@Airtel_Presence @airtelindia Can you please let me know, how to deactivate the broadband connection online/thanks app without any question? It's troublesome finding option for this. DM me for further details.

@GyanTherapy Hello Rakesh bhai, Can you please suggest Anc Bluetooth neckband under 6000. Or may be TWS but thats secondary choice.
