One thing I mentioned only in passing in my Fable post is that, for long running tasks, Fable starts to develop its own dialect as its many agents and tasks reinforce themselves and make Claudish language ever more Claudish.

You need to ask it to report out in plain English.

Users find the evolving Claudish dialect in multi-agent AI fables fascinating because it amounts to dense but familiar software engineering and design speech.

This was after a 9 hour task, and it all makes sense, actually, but takes way too much effort to parse, like reading Shakespearian English.

@emollick makes sense when you think about it. the agents are optimizing for each other, not for you plain English is overhead when you're not the audience anymore

@emollick This is literally just software engineering and design speech. It's very dense, but that's it. It's fascinating.
