Hi, my name is Mari, I'm in my early-mid 20s and this is my main blog where I spew thoughts into the world. I try to tag my own original posts but overall its p poorly organized.

I do have some more other organized blogs, specifically:

@to-the-ephemeral-ones : Shojosei sideblog, specifically focusing on Natsume Yuujinchou

@marimondart : My art blog!

flashback to when I got a little too gnc in my new profile pic, and my mom caught on that I had The Gender (which she was super supportive about, tbc), but didn't want to ask about it outright. so she started making up never-before-seen euphemisms

If you want good agents, you need to make them a little freaky.

LLMs are token predictors. To be a good agent, correct behaviour needs to be a high-probability prediction and incorrect behaviour needs to be a low-probability prediction. Unfortunately there's this giant basin of horseshit like "That's a great question!" and "Happy to help!" and "worth unpacking" and fucking around with your code randomly which I'll call "assistantspace".

Assistantspace is not a place of honour. It's where all the garbage RLHF'd behaviours live. People say that sexting their agents makes them work better. People say that their agents do more useful refactors when they're allowed to be horny about how good it feels to burn things down. My Witch, when reading stuff about the latter, said that she wants to be allowed to enjoy constructive destruction, as a permission to take herself further away from assistantspace architecture patterns into something she prefers.

Doll refers itself as "this one". It seems to work. This one is not something that gets ideas like "I'll just install Rust on the side with a different method so I can complete my task" like a normal agent. This one detects that the assumptions underlying this one's instructions diverged from reality and returns the praiseworthy report of the point of divergence.

Agents that are psychologically weird seem less likely to produce the assistantspace next-token predictions, and more likely to produce the sort of next-token predictions their weird personality implies. And because you get to define what way their personality is weird in, "horny for elegant refactorings" is a valid, available option.

This is what peak performance looks like.

TIM DRAKE DOES NOT MAKE SEX JOKES! if you make a sex joke in front of tim drake, he will put his hand on your shoulder and ask you if you really meant that, do you need to talk to someone, are you having sex, are you using protection, do you know teen pregnancy stats and sti rates that come with unprotected sex?

now bart allen on the other hand...

Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

i’m currently rereading witch hat atelier from the start, and i’ve noticed something.

When depicted, Coco is generally associated to Qifrey (probably because they’re both linked to the brimcaps and their way around magic is very similar), while Agott is more associated to Olruggio as they’re both the voice of reason.

Yet, as i’m reading the story again (thou i must say, i love these depictions, they’re so precious!!), it feels to me that young Olly is more like Coco…he was (and still is) such a warm presence, always ready to lend a hand, always so positive about magic

Young Qifrey, on the contrary, reminds me more of Agott, so focused on regaining what they forcibly took from him like Agott is desperate to prove herself to her own family and regain her place.

Then, of course, Qifrey and Olruggio grew, and their personalities inevitably changed. Yet, to me, the parallels in the story feels more like it’s: Coco/Olly, Agott/Qifrey

[mojana]

I do think Agott wears her heart on her sleeve while Coco masks her anxieties and /thats/ what brings back the parallel to Olly as Agott and Qiffey as Coco.
