Maybe it's my ML bias, but I don't trust that your methods are prima facie reasonable!! Show me what you did before the results!23 Mar 2026 17:24 +0000at://did:plc:rfkbaph36it2i66g6a7uzcht/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhqlb6q4xc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/siree.sh/post/3mfrcueg2ms2tThis is a great thread, and makes me think about how the affordances of LLMs (largely text-only chat) preclude the kind of epistemic vigilance we were able to develop around tech like search. I think we can build LLM-based tech that's good here, but chat ain't it [contains quote post or other embedded content]26 Feb 2026 13:36 +0000at://did:plc:rfkbaph36it2i66g6a7uzcht/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfrcueg2ms2thttps://bsky.app/profile/siree.sh/post/3mepbtlkix22eThis does feel like situation where open models are held back by the state of benchmarks. For an open model, there isn't as much of a theory of use outside of benchmarks. For closed models, the companies putting them out can build for business cases and their associated internal benchmarks [contains quote post or other embedded content]13 Feb 2026 00:47 +0000at://did:plc:rfkbaph36it2i66g6a7uzcht/app.bsky.feed.post/3mepbtlkix22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/siree.sh/post/3mejyoqilx22vVivid mental image of cellino and barnes being like penn and teller, where one is always completely silent and if you advance a surprising legal theory your consultation is free10 Feb 2026 22:20 +0000at://did:plc:rfkbaph36it2i66g6a7uzcht/app.bsky.feed.post/3mejyoqilx22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/siree.sh/post/3mejntfibgs2vFirewatch is one of the most lovely games I've played. I've taken so much joy from playing it with multiple friends and seeing how different a game it is for them.

The example of a model being weirdly focused on jasmine (lol) makes me increasingly think that single-point-of-access models don't really consider who their audience is. Jasmine is a super legible cultural marker for people outside, but is so, _so_ generic.
