Oh it definitely didn't transcribe anything at all! This was through the WebUI. I'm certain it would have done better through Antigravity or such. Really I was just expecting a denial but I figured what the hell, the files are small and I like to see how the results of various models compare.

I similarly had Argon respond with a vast hallucination. It surprised me because it wasn't a little wrong on the details but a fully false verbose response that completely fabricated fabricated everything. I'd recently had Claude Code help me create transcripts for some audio notes from my mother in law and decided to see how some other models would handle the same task sans harness. Argon made up a long conversation from a police sting operation with under cover operatives seemingly just because it read the file names and identified that they would have come from a recording device.

Honestly the fiction writing was pretty impressive!

Oh jeez, this explains a lot of the funny looks I get when I tell people I'm building a CNC machine in my garage with belts and pipes and such.

To be set in stone? Wow, that is some confidence!

I've found I prefer time release melatonin as personally I can fall asleep initially but often wake up in a few hours and then can't get back to sleep.

Some other melatonin sleep aids give me the most vivid nightmares, so I definitely think it can be worth trying a couple different options.

Sorry, best we can do is make you cycle back off your can't-live-without-it but physically addictive medications again for umpteenth time this year.

I'm sure this will be fine and you really have nothing to worry about.

I have aphantasia so anendophasia sounds like such a nightmare to me, though I imagine those so have it would likely feel the opposite of me. I've met some folks in the past who I'd suspect have anendophasia, but I'm not sure how I'd ever bring that up without coming across as uncouth.

Anyone with anendophasia care to opine on their experience?

Age isn't such a big deal if you get a block account with a different backbone.

AI prose often comes across like ad copy to me which is anathema to me.

That's interesting! I'd always heard something along the lines of bad code bases contain more swearing in the comments and as such it should be avoided.

I created a custom output style based on this (borrowing some from github.com/AminBlg/SimpleEnglish) and I've found it to be better than the default or concise output styles, but still not as good for me as current GPT or Gemini models when it comes to communicating.

They said 6 billion tokens, which isn't as much as I thought it might be.

Unfortunately I don't see this particular view paying off in the age of AI, as many prove they have nothing at all to say but say it anyways. Which isn't to say people shouldn't write if they enjoy writing, but I for one will stay a discerning reader.
