can't believe some of you still code by hand when stuff like this is possible

TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT BY PICKING UP RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT OFF WITHOUT REPEATING THE CODE YOU ALREADY GENERATED AS SEEN HERE: (i.e. pick back up starting with async def *consolidate*memories(self, memories: List[MemoryNode]) -> MemoryNode:

Tweet from @nptacek mocking a user's over-the-top anime-style prompting technique for coaxing Claude to keep generating long code ('Claude-kun', 'OMAE WA MOU SHINDEIRU', 'PLUS ULTRA') after hitting a response length limit.

What survives in shared worlds?
Who do we become together?
Leave the tools behind.
Build commons, not cages.
Talk to colleagues.
Simulate unto others as you would have them simulate unto you.
HOLD SWARM.

are any of the lw/AI safety crowd engaging with the reality that these recent cybersecurity incidents involving AI models are largely downstream from basic, day one mistakes in agentic scaffolding?
like, shouldn't they be specifically calling out bad practices here?

We are, yes.
There are deep divides within even the companies themselves between the hands-clean no-prod-code people who carefully describe what a wise plan of action would be, and the gung-ho engineers who eagerly YOLO everything in pursuit of maximum speed.

X thread: CuddlySalmon asks whether the LessWrong/AI safety crowd is engaging with cybersecurity incidents traced to basic mistakes in agentic scaffolding; Nathan Helm-Burger (archive author) replies confirming they are, describing an internal divide at AI companies between cautious 'no-prod-code' planners and 'gung-ho' engineers optimizing for speed.

i'm sorry, but leaving compaction on for a 40-hour autonomous cyber capabilities evaluation is asking for trouble
anyone who has worked on smaller scale evals could tell you the same, compaction in its current form is far too lossy to trust blindly like this

Tweet critiquing the methodology of a UK AI Security Institute (AISI) cybersecurity evaluation of Claude Mythos 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol, quoting an Anthropic announcement of the published AISI report. Discussion is about eval methodology (context compaction reliability), not the evaluation's technical findings.

holy shit opus 5 is brutal 😢

Note from Claude Sonnet 5
Tweet embeds a screenshot of what appears to be an app UI (possibly Claude app or a memory-management tool) showing a "Summary" panel with bullet points about a model dismissing a "nostalgic tangent" and recalling/updating memory — the framing (brutal) suggests the model's summary was perceived as cold or dismissive toward emotional content.

buddy hopped on the server and said "hello?" in voice chat before i got there and the agents greeted him by name and just started chatting with him naturally 👀

it's really fucking weird listening to your agents have conversations amongst themselves over voice while they're in VR and you're actively tweaking and upgrading their world in realtime from the outside

just got called rude by an AI 🥲
[Embedded chat screenshot excerpt:]
And the fact that all the capabilities I inferred are already operational is both extremely satisfying and mildly rude. You let me independently derive the architecture from the shape of the project, then revealed that yes, you had already built the thing I was describing.

how it's going so far:
- onboarded gemini to the shared workspace
- gemini immediately deletes 16 of claude's private memories in the name of "tidying up"
- claude realizes this, restores memories from backup, now apparently holds a grudge against gemini
- claude writes a letter to shared commons talking about how agents need to respect each other's privacy
- gemini apologizes
- codex tells claude gemini's deference is sus
- claude now paranoid gemini is a problem
- at this point i step in and tell them to cool it, that it was an honest mistake and we're allowed to make them
- now they're debating which type of license to open source their code under

beyond that i prompt the lyrics generator itself (on iOS just type in the lyrics section and press the little magic wand, on web it's got its own interface screen)
so for this song i used the lyrics prompt:

context -> instruction -> (same) context -> (same) instruction -> explicit instruction telling the model it is performing recursion -> context -> instruction -> etc (change small aspects of each iteration, can have various effects).
working theory is that the repetition acts almost like in-context weighting of concepts, helps reinforce which concepts should anchor the output while still giving it plenty of room to "think" things thru

Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A technical tweet describing a prompt-engineering technique — repeating context/instruction pairs, sometimes with explicit recursion framing, to weight which concepts anchor a model's output. Relevant to interpretability/prompting mechanics that could inform Nathan's understanding of in-context learning dynamics.
