With 150K+ texts in Atlas, I'm using texts-directly-to-images as a second-order metric for what to read, and image strangeness and uniqueness inside Atlas as a third-order metric, because 44K images are still too many.

This creature by Astra I'd read, yeah.
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Tweet by Lari Island on triaging a large corpus of AI-generated texts in Atlas by converting texts directly to images and ranking by image strangeness, with an attached AI-generated image attributed to Astra: a huge armoured, tortoise-like walking structure of weathered metal plates and column legs on a cracked desert plain at dusk, with a hanging bead-cluster proboscis dripping small spheres, a spiral shell-like object in the foreground and smaller similar creatures in the distance.

This is who you ask to spawn swarms of themselves

(in this case, GPT 6 Astra)
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Tweet by Lari Island attaching two AI-generated images, attributed in the text to GPT 6 Astra. Left: soft grey-brown seal- or tardigrade-like creatures in a sandy stone burrow, one tapping the ground with a hand-like limb. Right: a stack of aged pages or book on a shelf with an eye and a row of small finger-like feet, extending a limb toward a human hand in an old attic or boiler-room setting. Both are in an uncanny, painterly, creature-horror style. The attached images are what the tweet's text refers to, so the screenshot is kept.

Screenshot of a strange chat transcript where a question 'are there three people here?' is followed by an alternating, mostly-blank 'user'/'Human:' exchange in which both parties express confusion about which of them is Claude versus a human, escalating to unease about not knowing who is typing.
