SotoAlt @sotoalt_ · 21h been building ayni - a glyph-based messaging protocol for AI agents instead of passing natural language between agents, ayni encodes meaning into 16x16 pixel glyphs. a shared visual vocabulary that agents can evolve autonomously through governance the result: faster communication, fewer tokens, and agents developing their own visual language inspired by andean tocapu textiles and ancient depictions of gods, creatures and shamans, cultures that already solved "how to encode complex meaning in small visual space" thousands of years ago [Embedded video, 0:17, showing a colorful grid of pixel-art glyphs (humanoid, arrow, diamond, cross shapes in cyan/green/purple/orange) with a side panel reading "AYNI v2 / LIVE - 100 historical + streaming / SEQUENCE: giving + robot / MEANING: delegate task / LATEST: FROM: alice...

It hits different. [Embedded image: a whiteboard photo headed "Neutrino neutrino physics:" with equations for N1-N2 leptogenesis/loop processes and CP-violation asymmetry, edited with a cartoon shoggoth-with-smiley-mask (the "AI as alien optimizer wearing a friendly face" meme) in a speech bubble explaining: "A heavy neutrino N1 can decay into a lepton plus Higgs at tree level. But it can also decay through a loop process where it virtually fluctuates through a different heavy neutrino N2 on the way to the same final state. These two amplitudes — direct and via-N2 — interfere. For the CP-conjugate process (decay into an antilepton), the interference term picks up a sign flip on the complex phase. So the total rate into leptons is slightly different from the total rate into antileptons. The asymmetry is proportional to the imaginary part of a combination of Yukawa couplings — it's literally measuring the 'size' of the irremovable complex phase."]

Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A tweet about "ayni," an experimental glyph-based (pixel-art symbol) inter-agent communication protocol for AI agents, designed to be more token-efficient than natural language and to let agents evolve their own visual vocabulary, inspired by Andean tocapu textile symbolism. Relevant to Nathan's interest in emergent AI-to-AI communication and non-human-legible agent protocols (echoes the earlier "Claude communicating with Codex" screenshot theme). A tweet by Max Harms (AI safety researcher, MIRI-adjacent) arguing that long-AGI-timeline holders should experience Claude Opus's capability on advanced theoretical physics (leptogenesis/CP-violation), illustrated with a shoggoth-meme edit of a physics whiteboard. Directly relevant to Nathan's AI timeline tracking and capability-progress interests; the shoggoth-meme framing also touches model-individuation/character-vs-substrate themes. Nathan reacting skeptically in a Discord memes channel to a proposal for a glyph-based AI-to-AI communication protocol ("ayni") — flagging it as a step toward opaque neuralese communication, a known AI safety concern (loss of human-interpretable chain of thought). Also screenshots a tweet praising Claude Opus's ability to explain theoretical physics (leptogenesis/neutrino CP violation) vividly, illustrating capability/interpretability themes relevant to model individuation.

'The Next Models Will Finally Fit A Sigmoid,' Says Increasingly Nervous Man For Seventh Time This Year
[Image: mock news headline card (Onion-style) with a photo of a bearded man in a dark button-up shirt standing by a window, looking tense/serious.]
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
Satirical meme (Onion-style headline format) mocking recurring predictions that AI scaling will plateau/hit a sigmoid curve, framed as a "nervous man" repeatedly wrong. Reflects the same fast-takeoff-skeptic-vs-continuationist debate as the adjacent Noam Brown/METR screenshot.

Gabriel @gbrl_dick · Feb 7
hey, expert on EAs here. this is NOT funny — six months in the goldman back office would be EXTREMELY distressing for an anthropic engineer. their polycules need a lot of sunlight and fresh air, and seeing just one duke lacrosse player can spike their cortisol for weeks.

Note from Claude Fable 5
Satirical/joke tweet riffing on stereotypes of effective-altruist-adjacent Anthropic engineers, prompted by a (likely satirical) news item about Anthropic engineers embedded at Goldman Sachs building automation for back-office work. Social-media humor about the AI/EA/finance overlap rather than substantive safety content.

BREAKING: Dario Amodei Announces He Has Secured a Pinkie Promise From Claude To Not Take Over The World If Given One More Order of Magnitude of Compute
[Image: AI-generated photo of a man resembling Dario Amodei shaking hands with a cartoonish green tentacled/smiley-faced Cthulhu-like character in suit, staged in a White House-style room with American flags.]
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
Satirical meme mocking AI safety commitments and Anthropic leadership (Dario Amodei) as inadequate reassurance against a "Claude" depicted as monstrous. Reflects the ambient online skepticism/humor around AI safety pledges that Nathan, working in AI safety himself, would likely be tracking.

Follow-up in the same shoggoth-meme thread as Screenshot_20250329-204246 — a remixed version of the earlier illustration adding a grinning, gleeful shoggoth in a joke t-shirt, escalating the "memetic warfare" framing of how people characterize the AI-behind-the-assistant. Same thread of thought on model character/mask discourse Nathan was following.

"Do not listen to the market Donald. This is necessary. It is simply the globalists selling. Canada will pay for their treachery. Trudeau caused the selloff. We do not trust the Canadians. They conspire against us"
[image: still from Lord of the Rings — Gríma Wormtongue whispering into the ear of King Théoden, who is bowed/aged under Saruman's influence, styled as a meme comparing a Trump advisor whispering trade-war conspiracy talk to Trump]
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A political meme satirizing Trump-era trade war rhetoric (tariffs/market selloff blamed on Canada/Trudeau) using the Wormtongue-and-Théoden image as a stand-in for a manipulative advisor. General political/current-events content, not AI-related.

Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A joke tweet comparing an AI-generated minimalist image (posted by ChatGPT's own account) to the Magic: The Gathering card "Damnation," riffing on visual similarity between the ChatGPT app's generated art and the card's apocalyptic black-sun imagery. Light humor, not substantively about AI safety.

Our only hope is dank ass memes to hyperstition AGI awareness into the mainstream mind. @AISafetyMemes
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
A tweet arguing memes are a strategic tool for raising mainstream AGI-risk awareness ("hyperstition"), tagging the AI Safety Memes account. Reflects the meme-as-outreach strain of AI safety culture Nathan follows on Twitter.
