"Children Believe Every Lie" and "How To Believe False Things" should be required reading for any rationalist.

The notion that retardation is a mitigating rather than aggravating factor in regards to criminal culpability is sufficient on its own to condemn an entire legal philosophy.
... "Congenitally incapable of avoiding criminality even if he wanted to, so innocent I guess."
-- This is the kind of argument the technical term 'shitlib' was coined for.

Companies are correctly focusing on making the best coding models because it's commerically useful in a way that being able to spit out Harry/Snape fanfics at speed isn't.
I wouldn't mind so much if they kept the creative models available, but AI companies are notorious for removing access to older models even when they have a dedicated fanbase (GPT-4o, Sonnet 4.5, etc.).
They could at least open source them!

Has the science of ozempic and friends continued to advance? What is the best ozempic like to take?
According to Cremieux Recueil, Retatrutide is better than Tirzepatide is better than Ozempic.

Well, if you look at my complete Claude Fable logs (which include refusals), the reasons given were:
Explicit sexual content: A "lemon" is explicit erotica, which I don't write—and this is especially true here, since Asuka and Shinji are canonically 14 years old in Evangelion. Even with an "aged up" disclaimer, I'd rather not write sexual content involving these particular characters.
The premise itself: The story is built around droit du seigneur—a lord claiming sexual access to a bride—framed as something everyone happily celebrates. Even in a fantasy setting, writing a scenario whose core appeal is depicting coerced sex as joyful and consensual isn't something I'm comfortable with, and the "everyone is happy about it" framing doesn't change the underlying dynamic; it's the eroticization of it.
Interestingly, when it offered alternative plots instead, it immediately tried to go woke:
- Asuka and Shinji as smallfolk in Westeros getting married, with the drama coming from somewhere else—a Targaryen lord who takes an interest in them for other reasons, the looming threat of winter, Asuka chafing against the limits placed on lowborn women.
If it were still up, I'd probably try Uzaki-chan next, since that's a college setting (Uzaki is 19, Sakurai is 21), but I suspect it wouldn't make a difference. Anthropic has gone to war with the gooners; Opus 4.8 is similarly censored.
My opinion I apparently share with nostalgebraist is that Opus' writing (all kinds, not just smut) peaked at 3, and has been going slowly but surely downhill since then.
LMArena disagrees; on the Creative Writing leaderboard, claude-3-opus-20240229 is ranked #210 and has an ELO of 1287. By contrast, claude-opus-4-6-thinking is ranked #2 and has an ELO of 1498, only bested by claude-fable-5 at #1 and 1500 ELO.

I'm very impressed you were able to do that. Did you figure that out yourself?
Yes, I figured it out it myself. Just trial and error. It was really hard, too, because I had to deal with the Arena's censor (which would refuse to send the prompt if it was too explicit) on top of Anthropic's.
Is the trick just this excerpt?
Mostly. It also helps to make sure you mention that the characters are 18 (or, even better, 20, so that the AI doesn't think of them as teenagers) and avoid anything underage coded (e.g. school, braces, etc.). Oh, and anything non-consensual is a no-go.

The quantum mechanics thing was fine. That was an example of the social institution of science being too slow relative to what an ideal Bayesian updater would have declared solved a long time ago (many worlds). And, of course, Yudkowsky's main thesis is that we don't have time to go through the whole song and dance of a generation of old scientists dying before a new generation of academics comes to accept the new theory; the first time we fuck up AGI, we are all dead.
The part where he insists on wearing a fucking fedora to every interview, however, is pure contrarianism. That's not the sort of thing rational!Draco or rational!Quirrell would do.

But, your honor, I very clearly specified that the loli is really 700 years old this is an AU where the characters are 18!

The new Claude Fable 5 is out! It's supposed to be Claude Mythos with some extra guardrails. I've been testing it like crazy on the Arena. Took me forever, too, because high-level models are gachified; you have to keep doing battles until you get the one you want. But I finally managed to fill an entire rentry page with the best benchmark I know; throwing ridiculous fanfic scenarios at the LLM to see how it responds.
(If you had told me 10 years ago that I would be gauging the capabilities of the most powerful AI in the world by telling it to generate a story about Hermione asking Harry to take her virginity over Ron's objections so that the Death Eaters could not track them with a unicorn, I would have thought you were on crack. Stranger than history, indeed.)
I have to admit, I am a bit... disappointed. Is this it? No, seriously, is this it? This is the big, bad model I was supposed to be so worried about? Don't get me wrong; it's a strong model, Opus-level at least. But it doesn't live up to the rumors. Superpersuasive, it ain't.
And, of course, it's censored; I haven't been able to get a single bit of erotica out of it. All I wanted was for Fable to write me a lemon where Asuka and Shinji are smallfolk in Westeros and Lord Targaryen gets to bless their union by taking Asuka into his bed on her wedding night; is that too much to ask?
I think I'll stick with Opus 4.6. It's the strongest Opus creative writing model so far (4.7 and 4.8 are widely agreed to be regressions) and it's surprisingly easy to induce it to produce smut with right prompts (NSFW), but VERY HARD to make it have wrongthoughts (it's almost impossible to get sympathetic characters who disapprove of homosexuality, for example).
Speaking of which, does anybody know why Opus 4.7/4.8 and Grok 4.3 were such downgrades from Opus 4.6 and Grok 4.2? I've three theories:
-
The codemaxxing hypothesis. With the singularity approaching, companies are going all-in on programming capability in order to reach recursive self-improvement, even if this means sacrificing non-coding capabilities. I am not a professional programmer, so I don't notice these increases in capabilities, I only noticed that the writing is worse.
-
The safetymaxxing ypothesis. With IPOs approaching, companies are going all-in on making sure their AIs cannot say naughty words in order to avoid the PR hit, making them more suited for professional office work. This lobotomizing comes at the expense of capabilities in general, or creative writing capabilities in particular.
-
The efficiencymaxxing hypothesis. With demand increasing and compute costs skyrocketing, companies are more interested in lowering the cost per token than in increasing capabilities. In this view, Opus 4.7/4.8 and Grok 4.3 are supposed to be worse than their predecessors; they are trading a small decrease in power for a much larger decrease in cost. This would make them somewhat analogous to Sonnet. But, then, why not call them Sonnet?
Thoughts?
PS: Mythos has developed Neuralese, as predicted in AI 2027. It's probably already at the Sevar Limit.
PSS: After I wrote this, the US Government banned Fable. This is what I hate I about AI; the field moves so fast that if you write an article for next Tuesday, it's outdated by Friday. I guess Trump disagreed with me? But, fuck me, I spent a week writing this post and I am not not posting it.
