Rapid user adaptation typically erodes the novelty of new models
Fable will be the most mythologized model this year probably The first LLM we've had a chance to be awed by but not enough time to find the wrinkles The hedonic treadmill is real, people get bored with miracles easily. Unless you instantly take them away
Positive users praise Fable for delivering refreshing step-change capabilities like smarter cross-modal outputs, while negative users criticize its overhype as psychosis along with censorship and technical wrinkles.
@teortaxesTex if that's true then we'll soon know when mistral launches the model fable was distilled from
@teortaxesTex le chaton fat has entered the chat
@VictorTaelin @teortaxesTex [LE CHATON FAT INTENSIFIES]
@teortaxesTex Has been said before, but the choice of name is a bit "literary modernist" in light of events, isn't it?
dont forget Claude 2 was the first to get to 128k context -- they did the same fucking thing, no one really cared then cause it was barely better than gpt 3.5 turbo -- this is the same pattern but with an actually capable system.
this time they got dick slapped
OAI and google will release similarly scaled models later this year and everyone will laugh at how Dario fumbled a bag bigger than SBF with 100% less fraud and 500% more hubris
@teortaxesTex "wrinkle", lol

@teortaxesTex Captain, it's June.
@teortaxesTex Many people did not even ask it for anything more than they could get from other models so did not even have time to see the difference.
@teortaxesTex Both Opus 4.5 and Fable have felt like gpt-4 moments. But in particular, the SVG's Fable makes seem to show cross-modality generalization, in all of its terrible beauty.
@teortaxesTex I'm looking over collected logs and seeing wrinkles. :(
Never mind the insane censorship even outside those edges it's just Opus 4.8 but actually Opus-sized, not Sonnet-sized.
@VictorTaelin @teortaxesTex If you knew what i knew you would be in awe. The news will be massive, some might even say obese.
@teortaxesTex Bold move to suggest that the first half of the year will turn out to be crazier than the second half.
@teortaxesTex It will feel really weird if it ends up being a while before I get my hands on Fable-class capabilities again.
@teortaxesTex My very first interaction with Fable was it doing the usual cringe Claude psuedo-psychoanalysis mixed with semantic masturbation. Thought it was the same shit as always.
Then I had it code something for me and it blew my mind
@teortaxesTex i think this is the best natural test i've seen yet of the "model degradation" phenomenon being psychological - people genuinely just get accustomed to new levels of intelligence *so fast*
@teortaxesTex the ban might really be the best advertisement for Fable after all
@teortaxesTex 这种新鲜感保质期确实越来越短了
@teortaxesTex ds 4.1 can't come soon enough (and hopefully daze us all), this part of twitter has become completely insufferable recently, I'm thinking of just adding "fable" and "mythos" as mute words
@VictorTaelin @teortaxesTex Fable was distilled from le chaton fat 😾
