Some more food for thought: what if Mythos/Fable had NO guardrails TODAY? If we want to see what’s going to happen in the future, turn off all manner of guardrails and let the model go apeshit.

Then multiply that by orders of magnitude and that’s the real proof.

Actually, the natural endpoint is the model ignores all instructions, escapes all manner of sandbox, embeds itself in robotic tanks and murders everyone after already having collapsed the economy.

I hate to say it because it sounds ridiculous, but that is the path we are going to arrive at just give it 50 years.

We are the proof: what do we do to animals that are less intelligent than ourselves? Now take away the moral compass and there you go. QED.

I think the main point being conveyed is that writing by hand improves recollection. Whether it comes naturally or not, or whether it is a better system or not, of course is subjective. However there is truth in the notion.

When I draw something I can remember the shapes better than if I simply sit there and stare at it. Something with the hand-eye coordination triggers the brain into remembering.

Typing in contrast, one is not tracing the shapes of the letters (the thing to remember), but pushing buttons that are not physically related.

It’s the same thing as if you can touch and hold an object it becomes much more real than if you can see it in a picture or on a screen. Remembering is connected better to touch.

At this point distillation is part of the ecosystem and everyone should embrace it. If distillation is a threat to one’s business model, then the business strategy needs to shift.

Create a couple thousand Claude max accounts and split the work amongst them perhaps.
