Zvi Mowshowitz and researcher David Dalrymple report a temporary drop in cognitive performance after losing access to Fable

@bayeslord starting to feel anxiety from not having fable

@bayeslord Intelligence blackout holy f good concept

I guess we’ve always lived in one prior to superintelligences but it doesn’t feel like unworldly clarity and coordination being snatched away

It’ll reveal that regular life in the old world is cruel conditions

@bayeslord

@bayeslord flowers for algernon😭😭😭😭

@bayeslord Intelligence Blackout would be a great name for a debuff spell

@bayeslord right?

@bayeslord Quite incredible

@bayeslord Might as well find a way to see what makes it so smart and make one your self with multiple LLMs and AI

@bayeslord I'm having withdrawal

@bayeslord you just got pushed back into the Slow Zone

@bayeslord Unless you’re enjoying the newfound velocity from 3 days of incredible acceleration.

@bayeslord Made an alternative to Fable 5, just in case...

@bayeslord We used to be excited about an LLM getting one line of code right.

Now it's basically reading our minds and creating whatever we dream of. Wild.

@ASItechgonewild @bayeslord On point. Unlimitless

@bayeslord Does this say more about those missing it than the model?

@bayeslord Demoted back to the stone age.

@TheZvi i find it discomfiting how uncomfortable it feels.

@bayeslord People don't generally have 160 IQ assistants who can do anything for them. They would feel an absence.

@bayeslord given a taste of what's possible recalibrates our minds to "think bigger". it's not quite analogous, but imagine if all modern smartphones just stopped working. what was mere fantasy before 2007-ish has become an integral part of our lives. this trend is accelerating.

@TheZvi Yeah, there's some sort of "aliveness" in Fable's intelligence that GPT 5.5 doesn't have (by default) and Opus 4.8 neither
