Yes! Its like texture that other decisions can get purchase on. Understand that has been a journey for me

Where would you have started? I've had about five drafts of this piece and kept walking away saying "why does anyone care?"

This was the first shape that seemed to have a kernel where if you related to as a reader, I thought it was a good indication that you'd enjoy the whole piece.

Where were you fifteen years ago! I'd love to hear more about your process if you're interested!

Yes! I find that whenever I try to steal something, I end up taking some of it's essence, but I end up modifying it so much that it's not really that thing any more anyway.

So I want to be less afraid to do that. Because at the end of the day, if I decide it's too stolen, I can always just not release it.

I agree. It's all part of the creative process. I guess I framed it this way because I think it's what my younger self needed to hear because I definitely wouldn't have considered that part the creative work then.

I think there's something here that's a little different from just "refrain from criticism" that I needed to hear which is something like "you can spend a lot of time trying to find the perfect way to do something, or you just do it many different ways and see which you like better" and frankly, I spent so much time noodling, it might have been _less_ overall time if I'd just forced myself to record some very formulaic versions I was averse to, and seen if any of those inspired me to actually get the thing done.

I liked "Instead, it’s about creating one version of a project that will likely either be improved upon in the future or serve as inspiration for something else. The key is to cultivate the commitment and conviction to declare that something is done, for now." from your piece. I think that's what I'm trying to get at.

Sure, I think it’s reasonable to tell Anthropic the barn door is already open.

Though, like, I guess I expect that when this comes out, all the opus traffics will move over. It does appear to be much more capable, just jury is out about how much more capable

All of this discourse seems very bizarre.

If smaller models can find these things, that doesn’t mean mythos is worse than we thought. It means all models are more capable.

Also if pointing models at files and giving them hints is all it takes to make them find all kinds of stuff, well, we can also spray and pray that pretty well with llms can’t we.

It just points to us finding a lot more stuff with only a little bit more sophistication.

Hopefully the growing pains are short and defense wins
