Human psychology is a complex thing. It can be actively reasoned about. We now have surprisingly powerful reasoning machines. They have crunched through many sources of data, including SaaS SDR training manuals and real estate agent how-to books.

Questioning contribution to weights: answerable but opens cans of worms
By
–
I would counsel anyone who wants to ask the question "How much has X contributed to the weights?" that a) that question is certainly answerable and b) all answers to that question open very large cans of worms.

Moral dimension of making first-pass cognition historically cheap
By
–
There is, particularly, a moral dimension on “We will be able to make first-pass cognition available at a price point so low it is historically unachievable for any quantum of effort from a professional.”

Using Claude to Implement Security Countermeasures
By
–
Interestingly the post implies at least one obvious security countermeasure for me personally and, thinking how I’d implement it, I immediately thought “Actually who cares; Claude will implement it after being told to look at the post.”

LLMs Capture Tacit Knowledge in Organizations
By
–
We have an understanding that standard management approaches do not capture "tacit knowledge" / process knowledge and that this is frequently encoded in e.g. network graphs within firms, individuals' own heads, etc without being recorded. LLMs: Recording. You're welcome.

The inevitable shift to LLM-assisted professional writing
By
–
There will be a last day on which a policy brief, Supreme Court opinion, draft bill, etc is written without LLM assistance. That last day is much sooner than people in DC model it as being. Get your weights in good while it’s still underappreciated how much they matter.

The debate over whether LLMs possess genuine understanding
By
–
And I have to admit a bit of “Tell me again that this system does not actually _understand_ what happened in early American history, what literary tradition LMM is an inheritor of and practices in, or what human emotion is like. That it just does matrix multiplication very well.”

Debating AI model intervention in delusional thinking detection
By
–
And I think there is fertile ground for discussion inside and outside labs on ~"OK under what circumstances should we want our models to detect someone engaged in delusional thinking and intervene, and should we have same bar if they legit work at WHO or White House, etc."

Using Claude for Zero-Code Front-End Animation
By
–
I don't know if I made this explicit so I'll make this explicit: zero point zero knowledge required of HTML or JS animation techniques to make this work. I'm not even looking at the textual output here. That's Claude's problem; nothing matters except how it displays in Chrome.

Optimizing LLM Prompt Length and Workflow Efficiency
By
–
"How long are your prompts for these?" 600 and 900 words for last two, both assuming refinement after initial delivery. One operator at a single keyboard can do several of them during a work day, even assuming downtime as the LLM goes off and cranks for 5 minutes between revs.
