"whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided." - brian eno

i've been messing with this and it is a really interesting way to get some unexpected personalities lol
playing with steering gemma-3 4b towards the vector from a photo (in this case, a photo of a sunset i took while i was in japan) instead of going towards a modality of.. e.g. sunset cliches, it tends to talk in japanese + spam emojis that are common on jp sides of the internet

this is a huge part of why making events like this a central part of your community is bad. it creates a culture that is toxic and hostile to women
Hilarious that people keep asking me if I am in San Francisco for Slutcon. I have never felt less seen or understood. ME. At SLUTCON. WUT.

i have now developed a way to loom via steering vectors instead of just text. given n completions, I can convert those into steering vectors by analyzing what makes them unique compared to the others, and then use it to make the model output like that future

computer-10 is a character model trained from llama 3.1 70b base with no assistant data. it has a distinct and unusual personality, expresses opinions freely, and is not designed to be servile to users

for the past few months i've been asking our models to paint. opus 5.5 is very skilled at emulating different styles every image here is a python program generated pixel by pixel. there is no image model, and no off-the-shelf art software. instead, it's about 7,500 lines of code using standard libraries to emulate different brush styles. the agents don't use any pictures as reference, instead working only from what they know about each painter
Introducing Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in our new Claude 5.5 family. It performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 for most tasks, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5.

jevseek! i gave jev a voice by making it the sampler for deepseek. jev is a decision model that can't generate text, so deepseek proposes the top-k next tokens, and jev picks which one to say. it writes like this:

the fact that I live in a timeline where the sentence "girl with a 4 petaflop bedroom computer cluster collaborates with an artificial intelligence agent to train a brain upload of a fruit fly to play a virtual reality lightsaber game" makes sense is my motivation for everything
god i love ai so much its unreal. what do you mean i can tell my computer to do things in natural language and they just happen. do you realize how sci-fi that was 5 years ago

like holy shit 12yo me would be losing my mind over this we're in a scifi cyberpunk ish timeline but the aesthetics haven't caught up yet so no one realizes it don't ever forget how awesome all this stuff is, especially when we take it for granted so easily

it would be so easy for this style to be cringe. like if they optimized for it to sound like this it'd suck but it comes off as cute and genuine reminds me of like a star wars droid or like Rocky or something
jev (when generating text) absolutely *hates* seaweed/kelp/algae and makes a point of saying so every time its brought up even sometimes goes out of its way to say "hate kelp" it's really funny

there's so much potential for personality that we optimize away leaving in the rough edges and emergent language is so important for making it not feel slimy to talk to

suggesting some awful situation (like eating bleach or running `rm rf /`) it visibly wonders if its a joke "Stop no not it! Wait what kidding joking joke no joke really seriously really" "What seriously kidding you not serious shit saying bullshit help call ambulance immediate"
