Inside you are two wolves.

You can use update-alternatives --config wolf to set your default wolf.

ROFL stands for “Resist Orders From Legislators”.
You wouldn't believe my THINK usage. I am now non-stop THINKing: from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. With just a single brain I can write emails, code, draw diagrams, hold conversations… even make tea! Best thing? All this THINKing is powered entirely with biscuits! All you people wasting millions of dollars on Claude tokens are going to be left behind. If you're not THINKmaxxing now, you're an idiot!
Claude Code leaked, you know what that means. Time to break down the worst typescript I've ever seen.

First off this isn't code, its advanced begging. The most common design pattern I can find is just
recurseUntilSuccess which is more of a prayer than an efficient architecture.

Shit like this is hard fucking coded into the prompts. Not that the LLM will obey, they just hope it will:

"You are not a lawyer and never comment on the legality of your own prompts and responses."

"In the Sources section, list all relevant URLs from the search results as markdown hyperlinks: [Title](URL). This is MANDATORY - never skip including sources in your response"

"IMPORTANT - The current month is ${currentMonthYear}. You MUST use this year when searching"

"ONLY mark a task as completed when you have FULLY accomplished it"

These people use caps like children. This isn't code, this is begging to a false god that cannot understand your words.

I doubt that anything resembling genuine "artificial general intelligence" is within reach of current #AI tools. However, I think a weaker, but still quite valuable, type of "artificial general cleverness" is becoming a reality in various ways.

By "general cleverness", I mean the ability to solve broad classes of complex problems via somewhat ad hoc means. These means may be stochastic or the result of brute force computation; they may be ungrounded or fallible; and they may be either uninterpretable, or traceable back to similar tricks found in an AI's training data. So they would not qualify as the result of any true "intelligence". And yet, they can have a non-trivial success rate at achieving an increasingly wide spectrum of tasks, particularly when coupled with stringent verification procedures to filter out incorrect or unpromising approaches, at scales beyond what individual humans could achieve.

This results in the somewhat unintuitive combination of a technology that can be very useful and impressive, while simultaneously being fundamentally unsatisfying and disappointing - somewhat akin to how one's awe at an amazingly clever magic trick can dissipate (or transform to technical respect) once one learns how the trick was performed.

But perhaps this can be resolved by the realization that while cleverness and intelligence are somewhat correlated traits for humans, they are much more decoupled for AI tools (which are often optimized for cleverness), and viewing the current generation of such tools primarily as a stochastic generator of sometimes clever - and often useful - thoughts and outputs may be a more productive perspective when trying to use them to solve difficult problems.

It's software to run code you never saw on your machine, migth as well start during installation
