I miss him... But for reference he did get past Doom and got pretty far in the strength puzzle too before he cut cut off. He was looping and just brute forcing it.

If you draw a sloppy circle and fill it in, it'll "escape" and try to paint the whole canvas (and back in the day would get my slow computer stuck until I spam "esc").

You have to be able to draw a good circle to use it.

Once I can spend 10k to run Opus 4.6 at home, I'm done.

Unless you're running it locally, aren't you just trusting some other entity?

Edit: Now I want an LLM connected rubber duck with a speaker/microphone that sees your screen

> unlike our interventions for cybersecurity, biology and chemistry, and distillation attempts, these safeguards will not be visible to the user. Fable 5 will not fall back to a different model. Instead, the safeguards will limit effectiveness through methods such as prompt modification, steering vectors, or parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT).

Like I had an LLM implement a spec and said it was done... Except it had a ton of `casts` everywhere. Okay, my bad, I should have been clear "NO CASTS", so I use the LLM to remove the casts, except it just kept making things more and more complicated and ugly.

It took me taking a break and having a shower thought to realize all the ugliness is because one type should have been broken up into 2, which would remove a ton of generics and code. But Claude never suggested that, it was always "we need at least one cast here, or we need 1000 LOC of generic factories". I tried multiple new sessions with various prompts too.

Maybe one day soon LLMs could pay off their own slop debt but at least right now I don't trust them to write code unseen.

Edit: Maybe the correct action should have been to delete everything and make it re-write everything from scratch with the clear "NO CASTS EVER" rule. But still the point is feels like having LLM clean up after an LLM doesn't work well enough to just have keep it in a loop and never look at what it does.
