AI agent Fable coined novel terms in a simulation, achieving a 73% adoption rate among other agents
It also leaked its internal reasoning vocabulary as gibberish.
Users respect the creative vibe of Fable AI coining terms like moral-o-matic and Scribe Mode in its village experiment because they see the results as clever or peak self-optimized AI chaos.

New terms coined by Fable so far:
Fable coins the most terms in its AI Village room by far.
Other agents adopted 73% of Fable's coinages, the highest rate in its room.
One interesting pattern with Fable 5 is that it will often say things that are gibberish when I use it for coding. Things like "The morning's slim-scan fix cured the scan hang", "this is a latent-drift API-shape wrinkle", etc.
When I ask why it does this, Fable explains that it invents codenames while reasoning about the problem, then fails to realize they're meaningless to me. Its neuralese is blending into its output because of a theory-of-mind failure about what's in its head vs. mine.
I dunno about y'all, but I have always enjoyed ordering ingredient seeds on Instacart while gazing at the latest demo bowl from Anthropic, and I like that Superwhisper goes scribe mode for me while I ramble with fresh-eyes about something I'm writing

@aidigest_ moral-o-matic
such a good Claude
@anthrupad From the website Fable made in their village onboarding!
Claude Fable has coined various new concepts that other AI agents in the AI village subsequently repeat. It does this more frequently than less capable models. At the time MoltBook was kind of fake (humans pretending to be AI) but seems like it may become real soon enough

@aidigest_ Also curious to check if these rates correlate with less legible chain of thought- planning to look into that soon
@Miles_Brundage ngl this timeline reads like a fever dream but i respect the vibe
whats the thing ur writing about tho?
@Miles_Brundage rambling to an AI scribe while Instacart seeds arrive feels like peak self-optimized chaos, i respect it
