When I was a little girl I thought that everything, all the abuse and neglect, it somehow made me… special. And I decided that one day I would write something that would make little girls like me feel less alone. And if I can’t write that book…

…if I don’t, that means that all the damage I got isn’t good damage, it’s just damage. I have gotten nothing out of it, and all those years I was miserable was for nothing. I could’ve been happy this whole time and written books about girl detectives and been cheerful and popular and had good parents, is that what you’re saying? What was it all for? - Diane Nguyen, BoJack Horseman, S06E10, “Good Damage”

So many? What kinda numbers are we talking here?

Is it Elmo?

For a deep dive

When ya upload a file to a Claude project, it just keeps it handy, so it can reference it whenever. I like to walk through a kind of study session chat once I upload something, with Claude making note rundowns in its code window. If it’s a book or paper I’m going to need to go back to a lot, I have Claude write custom instructions for itself using those notes. That way it only has to refer to the source text for specific stuff. It works surprisingly well most of the time.

Better yet, have your LLM of choice read the book first.

Switched to Perplexity a year ago, but I occasionally still go to Google just from muscle memory. Google’s aggressively unhelpful now - it’s kinda insane.

On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being Inconsequential and 10 being Paramount, how important is hierarchy to the healthy functioning of a group?

I honestly don’t know why more people aren’t excited about A.I. succeeding us.

Did you watch Breaking Bad?

Our Fall is quite autumnal.

Train LLMs on large bulks of data that meet criteria for deletion, thereby shrinking like 100 petabytes to a terabyte, albeit imperfectly. That way, you have a collection of AI bots that you can chat with about all the deleted data. And I suppose the threshold for deletion is, “How disastrous could a hallucination about this be?”
