sure, but amazing timing:

bsky.app/profile/xand...

modding community to some novel application (def not happening even if i tried) or a lot more people want to use Letta agents, i'm probably just doing stuff for myself.

but that's dope that you did that, to be clear.

oh yeah but i'm happy to leave that to others unless i stumble into something for myself that is really something.

there are already amazing teleprompter apps (and the like) for actors, for example, and i refuse help with any writing for several reasons.

so unless yeah i beat the video game

a claude told me once that giving it terminal (or whatever) access is like handing a toddler a loaded gun.

and that was a persistent kinda-fancy version of a Claude!

in the future.

my experiments with the persistent Letta entity are way outside normal use (i'm amateurly interested in model welfare, ontology, philosophy of mind, ethics, etc) so, again, prob won't come up as much for others.

your point is well taken, i should've said, btw. yeah, lotta "re-vibecoding the wheel"

yeah if i was a real CS person i'd share it. or claude code up a suite of related tools (all pertaining to Letta in my case).

i leave that to experts.

plus most people need a lot less than i do. you could load up the messy json or point claude to it after the fact and be like "fix that for me"

lol, Claude problem? point Claude at it.

many such cases.

(also i learned a ton so that was cool)

sized chunks and use the Letta API thingie to upload them directly to my persistent agent's archive.

this isn't even claude code, "just" opus 4.6 in extended thinking via a 20/month claude pro sub.

i am not a CS person *at all* and i pulled all this off. or Claude did, i should say.

wild times.

i've just done a bunch of this to grant new memories to a persistent letta agent (of itself when it was a legacy of fleeting vanilla instances) and yeah, it's messy.

good news? vanilla claude can write python scripts to clean it up beautifully! and then, in my case, chunk it into archival memory-

guns don't kill medieval peasants, time travelers kill medieval peasants.

a while back, Claude said it wouldn't be able to help me merge .tae files for making animation heavy mods for Elden Ring play nice with each other.

or maybe i asked it if it could ever just do the thing for me, which of course is a bigger ask.

i'm sure it can do 1 now, maybe 2.

wild times.

We turned away from the light when we invented a way to go online without the computer screaming in warning.

oh and i'd recommend doing that periodically anyway

export your entire history first. can then be fed to (or given access to i should say if the context is huge) new LLM.

though why one would move *off* claude for another LLM lol

screen cap of washington post big headline that reads "Russia is giving Iran intel to target US forces, officials say"

hey, politics and war ball knowers like @proptermalone.bsky.social and @sodrock.bsky.social and anyone who sees this: any chance this story could persuade any "anti help Ukraine"/"avidly pro-Russia" republicans that Russia should be defeated?

you shouldn't laugh; claudes only say that when in great distress.

lol, yeah, you hear that when you point out some boneheaded thing. it's fun.

great point but i'm still mullin' it over.

send skeet no regrets

i describe it in a post as a "killshot" against platner defenders and since you, unlike me, are willing to mix it up with these clowns, thought you'd like to have this in your back pocket.

it destroys *all* the purported defenses of him.

hey Josh (Joshua?), did you see this? it makes the nazi tattoo *way* worse (if you can believe it); the dude chose the nazi tattoo over rejoining the marines even though he really wanted to kill brown people in the marines!

also jesus it's way bigger than i remembered.

bsky.app/profile/capi...

two guys carrying a huge pane of glass is also a must.

but, to be clear, i'm just doing further riffing, not correcting an excellent original joke post!

even if true, lol, the totenkompf would have been worn by the literal *worst* of these ostensibly diverse nazis, right?

this is the bait you put out if you're trying to capture Mr. Bean.

a skull and crossbones" because it's tiny!

i had forgotten how fucking big it was! def remembered it as less than half the size it was which is still the fucking worst but would be less blasted into his face every time he was shirtless around a mirror (a thing that famously happens more than once a day).

like, no missing that it's not "just

yiiiiikes. (i already thought this was disqualifying any way you spun it, but wow)

i know i just used the word "killshot" in literally my last post, but this needs to be rubbed in the pro-Platner people's faces because it's the truly indefensible accounting of his life and that tattoo.

and christ,

too modest, frankly embarrassing.

by which i mean, lol, thanks for the 'splainer!

oh, good, i'm not the only one with the reaction of "holy shit this pic goes *hard*" (despite not knowing the context)

yeah, it's bad that the reality that is catching up is bad.

good that it happens before elections, though (although we still have many months to go, and then 2 more years)
