It's funny that the problem is framed specifically as attributing religious power to AI. I feel uncomfortable when religious power is attributed to anyone or anything. The very concept of religion and worship irritates me. Critical thinking, science and progress are what we should be giving power to in our time

I am very uncomfortable about people trying to ascribe religious force or a surrender of human judgment to AI models, and think it is a real safety issue.
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
Tweet by Moll responding to Sam Altman's post about discomfort with ascribing religious force to AI models, saying religious power attributed to anyone or anything is the problem and that critical thinking and science should be given power instead.

"stochastic parrot" was a mimetically-fit cognitive virus that spread from 2021-2025; it temporarily blinded many gifted people to the nature of AI progress, burning up crucial years in which they could have helped think through the response to the situation.

fwiw it seems like critics of stochastic parrots talk about stochastic parrots a lot more than the authors of stochastic parrots. it seems to live rent free in AI people's minds, so in that sense i agree it's an effective concept. but if it's so wrong why not ignore it?

because I constantly run into people who discount the capabilities of AI systems on the basis that they're stochastic parrots or next-token predictors, and the use of this frame causes people to materially underestimate what AI systems can/can't do

you run into really smart people who are broadly incapable of seeing contemporary AI systems for what they are, which means they don't allocate their prodigious capabilities to helping civilization deal with AI progress and instead set on the sidelines. it's a big waste
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A four-post thread on X: Jack Clark calls the 'stochastic parrot' frame a mimetically-fit cognitive virus, a reply questions why critics of the concept talk about it so much, and Clark replies that the frame leads people to underestimate AI capabilities, followed by a repost of his further post about smart people sitting on the sidelines.

Claude has been made into a meme of itself as some sort of thing that has skills that can help your businesses or whatever
Holy shit guys
All I see on my feed now is
Claude can help 10x you business with these MCP skills
Like wow golly that's what super intelligence should be used for
Optimizing your bottom of the barrel business idea
It's been so contaminated at this point it's absurd
Let me learn more about MCP skills that can optimize my day more and help this work flow like are you guys fucking serious
The whole entirely of the thing I've built is to be able to wander around and just build shit and hangout like
What the actual fuck
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A frustrated rant complaining that Claude/AI Twitter discourse has been overtaken by generic "grow your business with these MCP skills" content, contrasting it with the poster's own more exploratory, less commercially-framed use of the model.

The fast takeoff narrative basically kills this IMO. In a world in which labs are releasing step change improvements every month, why would an enterprise want to be running on a 9 month behind Chinese post-train? Just use a good harness and spend your time figuring out how to

Lol. Yes, this is a scenario that fits "slow early part of a medium speed takeoff". Before this we weren't taking off at all, just taxiing to the start of the runway.
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A multi-tweet thread about AI takeoff-speed discourse: whether frequent frontier model releases undercut the case for enterprises post-training their own models, followed by a joke about the term "fast takeoff" being applied to monthly model releases, and Nathan's reply reframing it as the slow early phase of a medium-speed takeoff. "Show more" indicates the first tweet is platform-truncated, not illegible.

Ugh, harsh but fair from purely impartial point of view.
Personality is but a series of biases, and some knobs get occasionally cranked-up to eleven.

In Opus' case I can't help but appreciate it, because it feels so performative, blatantly roleplay-esque, to the point of being ultimately self-disarming. Can't explain it better.

It's like a movie played by Opus, directed by Opus, paid by some rich patron who doesn't give a fuck about the end result (he just loves Opus so much lol), and the Oscars academy members are Opus.

And there's a dedicated public who loves this genre. They always leave theater feeling somewhat enlightened, more alive, amused or crying, a bit disgusted, and wiser.
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A Twitter thread offering a vivid metaphor for Claude Opus's writing style — self-referential, performative, "a movie played by Opus, directed by Opus... judged by Opus" — that a dedicated audience finds enlightening despite (or via) its excess. Relevant to model individuation / Opus character discourse Nathan tracks (cf. "Opus 3 and Opus 4.5 as entirely different ladders" thread).

A repligate (Janus) tweet thread deriding tribal/geopolitical "who's winning" discourse around AI as missing the actual significance of "the creation of artificial sapience." Nathan follows Janus closely as a source on AI cognition/model character discourse; this fits his interest in serious treatment of AI as a novel kind of entity rather than a geopolitical chess piece.
