As a video producer, the AI baked into the Adobe suite is very useful (generative fill, harmonize, and neural filters in Photoshop, generative extend and AI noise reduction in Premiere, lots of older stuff in After Effects).

As far as LLMs go, I get a lot out of talking through things with Claude, or coding silly little toys that only matter to me. But I’d never trust an agent with tools or access. And Anthropic’s own research is a good place to start for why that won’t change anytime soon.

I often think of the old man that lost his horse.

Just re-watched '07 turtles movie. It holds up pretty well.

The paper is more rigorous with language but can be a slog.

ANIMA! Moving Mountains is my favorite.

Anthropic has some similar findings, and they propose an architectural change (activation capping) that apparently helps keep the Assistant character away from dark traits (sometimes). But it hasn’t been implemented in any models, I assume because of the cost of scaling it up.

LLMs don’t read.

This is probably role play, per the persona selection model, but there’s a lot of interesting research into the hidden “thoughts” of LLMs. Check out Neuronopedia and the Opus model cards for some great examples.

Life uhh… finds a way.

I feel like public urination is considerably less awful than the rest of those things. Why start with that? Is it like, to ease us into the headline? An amuse-bouche?
