*it*works with the Humans"

*consciously*making a little joke when they say it?

*Claude*is not a person. Right?

*really*don't like it, but i don't know why yet

**mimi**`claude`

program does this automatically when you use it to commit code. and i think github when you use copilot?

**mimi**`—`

, proper capitalization) also make me wary now*seem right*at first blush, but have subtle mistakes the kind a person never makes

*need*to write something

*make*mistakes

**mimi*** have*to be assistants, they don't have to talk in prose

[Natalia](https://uxdesign.cc/when-ai-passes-the-capitalist-turing-test-18baacbcf18f)Talmina came in to talk about ai and conversation she mentioned that there's linguistics research that people adapt to each other's mental states when they are talking to each other

*part*of why the models are SO compute expensive and therefore money expensive. The output of pre-training is a base-model.

*fine-tune*the model by feeding it loads of conversations in the style that we're aiming for (sycophantic simpering) and retrain some layers of the model towards the target output.

*instruct*models rather than

*base*models.

```
{
    "user_message": "Generate a tool that does X",
    "model_response": " { @patchwork: more javascript json stuff goes here, blah blah blah you get the idea}",
    ...
}
```

And then it would, hopefully, be really good at generating the javascript for patchwork tools.

**mimi*** LLMs don't have to generate human-like language AT ALL.*It is a design / training choice that LLMs generally 'have' personalities. We could train an LLM to generate Patchwork tools or JavaScript and they wouldn't have any capabilities to generate human-like language like most of them do now. Our input could

*also*be entirely different / richer than a text description of the thing we want out.

*exactly*what i want

[We've had a go at another](https://www.inkandswitch.com/patchwork/notebook/chitter-chatter/)way , but there are so many more to try :))

*great*. do we wanna talk about the stuff re: a new punk? punk computing? like, about craft vs art that's veneer and music with guttural screams and mistakes left in and... etc?
