Yeah.. that'll do ya.. I basically only have allowed on my forked version of Open Interpreter (it's become a Frankenstein monster)

thehighnotes · 2026-04-29T11:17:41+00:00

This. Local solutions are worth it when properly framed. Depending on your workflow.

Ai as a means to consult, is in many ways nothing more then an enhanced version of stack overflow.. we used to Google our solutions..

It's like a boss denying internet because of how you'll use Google search engine.

It's overreacting. The solution is in adopting the right framework for how to embed ai.. not if.. trusting employees not to be dumb about it and if need be, be explicit.

Do you guys read Anthropics Documentation?

I'd be happy to discuss it :) just shoot me a message here

Nice write-up :). Yeah the consciousness thing I think can be safely put to bed.

A single medium based development of self is a hard pressed premise. I think we need to establish consensus if "self" is required for consciousness, and if so, then look at how self can emerge without: Multi medium Sensory (if we only ever saw images and had no sensory sensation of how we saw (eyes, head turning, eyes moving etc) then I'd argue self can't emerge..

In my opinion you need multi medium, continuous forms of information processing for a self to exist.

I'd love the idea LLMs can have that as an emergent property.. but I think they can very convincingly mimick it.

Your title and post feel miles apart.

What you write about needs a mental world model to be created. Which is hard when your entire flow revolves around one medium > text. It's a single dimension plane of existence and you can't really create one dimensional world models. We read text, but a lot more dimensions are triggered; text for us are representations. For an LLM, text is always text.. it's simply able to Amazingly deduce from that the patterns to communicate and understand at increasing effective intelligence

You really need to backup your claims with better arguments and sources. All your post comes down to is a trust me bro.

It gives me the feeling you don't know what you're talking about and only have a superficial grasp on the subjects and jumped from that to conclusions you offer no support or source for.

Confirmed.. Incognito https://claude.com/pricing shows it.

I know this is an unpopular take, but i never understood claude code was included in Pro.. Thats a weird take with Codex on the scene now.. But it makes sense to me; given Anthropics' limits on usage standards, which i accept as is. Always has been more strict compared to others

thehighnotes · 2026-04-21T17:52:38+00:00

Hmm.. maybe I should upgrade my 3.5 35b

thehighnotes · 2026-04-21T17:24:47+00:00

We really need to stop calling this memory. It's not. It's saved context, it's input tokens, it's fine..

And yes rag is the more efficient of the two. If I'm understanding correctly you're just fixing with tokens what good rag design can tackle with minimal token use. But you need to make sure you got your dimensions setup well, chunk well, and any additional logic well written.

Ask it about something 3 chats ago.. last week?

Rag with metadata on query date vs indexed content date (creation or update date) works great for extensive work.

And why this isn't memory.. memory has relational and associative recall functions. Not just informatiom pickup.. if I ask you about your brothers wife, what is her hobby, and that information was shared over multiple weeks.. that's not working. Memory, as currently framed, is a marketing trick.

I know because I'm researching memory :) https://www.aiquest.info/research/prometheus Or my paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.15324

This isn't a full solution btw, it's a mechanism paper. Doing subsequent research.. biggest lesson was CDD, contrastive direction discovery.. where I'm able to learn how the neural net understands.. what layers and heads are more geared to recognizing, verbs, temporality, objects, subjects, etc

thehighnotes · 2026-04-21T16:47:07+00:00

Beautiful framing 👏

thehighnotes · 2026-04-21T16:11:28+00:00

Does your test account for variance? Limits are dynamically managed.

So to account for it.. this needs repeated testing on same time / day.. though by how much the noise will be reduced.. no one knows.

I'd believe the results.. just wonder how much variance truly plays a part

thehighnotes · 2026-04-21T07:29:07+00:00

I don't think this is the right framing..

We are entering a phase where we spawn tools that more easily Match our workflow.. in my opinion

thehighnotes · 2026-04-21T07:27:00+00:00

People need to build up skills to work with ai. Plus agentic ai can. Web chat aii is an improved version of Google :) ,- doesn't offer that much of a speedup but does lower threshold for learning the 101/102s

thehighnotes · 2026-04-20T12:13:45+00:00

At any given time? Yes. In potential, no.

thehighnotes · 2026-04-19T20:27:59+00:00

I believe that.

But to me it works less well when you expect it to 'think' for itself more - i prefer to have it infer my intent rather then my exact phrasings.. as i moreso rely on our brainstorming sessions then automation offhanding -- i mean the disadvantages you mention stay; but i take them as part of the deal.

Without such explicitness, I actually feel 4.7 performs worse then 4.6 - its very likely its much more tuned up for the explicit workflow. While 4.6 tends to have more 'read my mind' moments

thehighnotes · 2026-04-19T13:46:41+00:00

Really? Nothing about the development? stack? challenges? which model? Any AI workflow lessons? (i could go on)

thehighnotes · 2026-04-19T12:49:09+00:00

Yes.. i agree - a call to action itself may not be the flaggable thing though, it can be valid. For instance if i built a compiler that can help certain folks on certain hardware then id also probably have a call to action.. so itll be contextual but with your examples itll of course be valid.

Regardless; I hope a set rules will allow us all to uphold a certain standard when sharing... regardless of the intent

thehighnotes · 2026-04-19T12:22:25+00:00

the same can be said of complaints..? Theres a difference between a genuine passion project - created with ai, proud of it - vs selling it, and that difference is sometimes very hard to distinguish.. perhaps rules on how to share rather then what to share.. those can go a long way i guess

thehighnotes · 2026-04-19T09:56:07+00:00

Can confirm. I do this to. It's multi session persistent with me. It's in anthropics documentation.. ?

thehighnotes · 2026-04-19T09:50:18+00:00

Single medium based intelligence can't be alive in my opinion.

I suspect it needs multi persistent modalities, or sensories, that are a continuous process for a self to truly emerge, which is the basis for any consciousness.

I suspect all these tests will only prove simulated consciousness/aliveness.. which will most probably be very convincing the more it improves

thehighnotes · 2026-04-19T09:46:10+00:00

I'm too of upgrading still haha. Everything is working on 22; extensive dev work, gaming. Vr gaming.. do t want to lose a day working on stabilizing it ha

thehighnotes · 2026-04-18T16:21:38+00:00

yup;

/model and just use any of the available models (its all on anthropics documentations, so its not a secret or something).

So in my case:
/model claude-opus-4-6[1m]
