I know this sentiment has been echoed by many others already, but I just wanted to also share my disdain for the fact that AI has taken away my ability to use em dashes for fear of people thinking I used AI to write something. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)

🔴 Livestream in session Today I'll be taking a look at the popular Hermes Agent to see what all the hype is all about. As always, feel free to bring questions or just come hangout! www.twitch.tv/bencodezen

For a community that tries to write "self-explanatory code" and being as literal as possible, I find it ironic that people have accepted and confidently use the phrase "rules for AI skills" when they're really more like guidelines.

If I were to do another thesis for grad school, I'd be curious how "people pleasers" are dealing with this new working relationship with AI. Do they feel compelled to agree with AI perspectives? Does groupthink come into play when working with multiple models?

I asked Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol to do research on the best time to send out an email newsletter. This is what Fable 5 had to say about GPT-5.6 Sol's response. "Bottom line: I’d grade it a B+. Sourcing is honest, metric priorities are right, confidence is appropriately medium." 😆😆😆

i cannot even begin to explain how incredible it was to spend time with everyone. it was an absolutely phenomenal weekend filled with so much laughter it felt like i did a core workout at times.

I had a chance to use Fable 5 during the brief time it was available for public access and wanted I'd share my experience with it. TL;DR I did see some performance gains from Opus 4.8 (1M), but I'm not sure it was enough to justify the token cost as a whole. www.bencodezen.io/blog/my-brie...

This was definitely not on my bingo card this week... www.anthropic.com/news/fable-m...

@bencodezen.io ... LOL!
