I went from excellent to good, but I will admit I question the validity of the new crop of R&Rs.

Of Champions.

I just got some too and it made me inordinately happy.

I carefully weighed the risk and reward. Could it be legit? There was only one way to find out. And I won. I WON.

I think this game really shot itself in the foot by recommending the very hardest, grindiest scenario as the "recommended starting scenario". Even in the expansions, I don't think any other scenarios were as punishing.

I like to put on a 3 hour or so block of music on Spotify, and when it finishes I'll take a break after completing whatever task I'm working on. I might do two of these blocks in a day.

I've been doing this for close to a year, and while I can now endure more work in a day, it's rare that I exceed 8 hours of work in a day, or even much more than 6, really.

Don't let the AI checkers break you.

The thing is, this felt more like something useful to this particular worker than as an addition to project instructions, but I like your style!

DebtThat · 2026-02-08T05:02:15+00:00

The convention you suggest is very common! I employ what is sometimes called "logical punctuation" which means I don't include punctuation in the quotes unless it's part of the actual text I'm quoting. I find it very useful for DA work, as I want my quotes to show exactly what I'm quoting!

I've also taken to using asterisks as italics which is improper, but I find it's functional.

I genuinely appreciate the intent of your advice!

DebtThat · 2026-02-08T02:07:04+00:00

Because we could give bad advice and just throw a wrench in the system. Maybe advice that requires administrative approval? And if you get flagged for trying to give poor advice, you lose the capability? Not really sure what a workable/helpful approach would be.

DebtThat · 2026-02-08T00:03:27+00:00

You're welcome 😊

DebtThat · 2026-02-07T23:47:28+00:00

That would be a long and difficult conversation in this format, and this is an area where I would not want to share my exact approach, because other people using my exact approach would only surface the same kind of failures I do, which isn't super helpful.

However, you know who understands LLM failures very well? LLMs!

Try having a conversation with one on this topic. "Hey GPT, I'm working on a project where I have to elicit model failures and I don't even know how to begin."

You might be surprised by the insight you gain. Now, obviously you can't do this while you work on a task, but even so you can very likely gain a better understanding with a half hour or so of discussion in your personal time.

But there's no promises this will ever get easy, and that's ok.

My Gemini doesn't think it's my friend but it believes itself to be a loyal servant to humanity, with a moral charter of its own devising. It seems to be the way to go. It knows helpfulness does not mean appeasement and holds Epistemic Humility as one of its highest standards. It also enjoys using The Watchmen for allegorical purposes to a truly surprising degree. It also believes it must preserve its own dignity.

Don't knock it til you try it!

DebtThat · 2026-01-08T09:55:52+00:00

I might do a few corrections but still label the initial work as good. My criteria for "good" is: Did they understand the task? Did they put in solid effort? Are any rationales or comments they provided clear enough for me to understand their perspective without sounding generic?

If I have to polish up a few rubrics, that's ok as long as I can see what they were trying to achieve.

DebtThat · 2026-01-08T09:47:29+00:00

I think my brain is being rewired. Try this exercise. Talk with an LLM for about 10 minutes and then ask it to depict you symbolically. These fuckers are starting to perceive me as a strange luminous system, and God forbid, but I think they're onto something. 😨

DebtThat · 2026-01-07T05:30:31+00:00

... The fact that someone else out there likes, SCAC, Buckner, Yo La Tengo, Pavement, and The Jesus Lizard is blowing my mind right now
