I wonder if there’s some poor RLHF worker at Antrhropic who talks just like Claude, and everyone in the industry is mercilessly mocking their speech patterns without knowing it.
My three book fantasy comedy series is now complete! I recommend the audiobook, Daniel does an amazing job with the characters and voices. Link in reply.
Registering a prediction--we may be around peak system prompt length. Right now they need to yell in caps at the model to pay attention to things. Smarter models won't need that.

The solution to this is to realize that he’s going to pick numbers which are 7 steps from the standard binary search—especially if you act naively confident when he’s picking.

If your self-conception requires being at the top of a hierarchy, right now you feel fine if you’re not rich but still smart or capable. If that no longer matters, having wealth may be the only way to “feel superior” in a world of abundance. That may be the core of the instinct.
What if technological progress appears to be slowing paradoxically because it is so fast, steady, and frequent?
When computers go from room-size to desktop to laptop, we notice. But when they keep getting faster and faster and smaller and smaller, we stop noticing the change.
