If the seams bear too much load, they rip. Whereas pants, they fall down.

I'll be honest with you: this is why we need to take a belt-and-suspenders approach.

That's not just an observation, it's an insight. Words are doing the real work.

This just makes me angry!

I really wonder if they can fix it. Fable 5.1 claims to speak humanese, but we'll see.

I tend to think this wierd limited vocabulary/style they use is an unwanted side effect of all the the RL training, perhaps also of being trained on their own synthetic content over multiple training cycles.

It’s not just limited vocabulary, it’s low key gaslighting. And honestly you’re so real for that!

Yea I don't get "load bearing" that much but "seams"... So sick of it.
