This totally aligns with my recent thinking, but there's a real risk in the model: If I'm yelling at Claude about something while I know the transcript is part of the output, I'm gonna naturally behave differently so I don't come off as some sort of asshole, so it's not the real ksmith's thinking. Nuanced, but it matters.

OTOH, an interview is basically the same thing: Here's me presenting myself as well as I can (even though it's probably not really accurate). But OTOOH, maybe I don't give a shit and just continue talking to Claude like I would do in real life, so who cares? It's not like HR is gonna pull me in for a talk about how I treat my teammates... yet.

Yeah, been there. After the yak was bald, I just settled into Astro and let the hive mind figure out the kinks I haven't even encountered.

Nothing here surprises me, more or less what I'd've expected, but jeez seeing it all written out like that is a sobering exercise. Not really sure how to feel about ANYTHING anymore. It's really an interesting time to be in this world.

I can't help but think about Wolfram every time I go into my thinking-about-ai mode. Really not sure how to frame all this stuff, but jeez there's a nexus, right?
