Stopped here. That pattern.
I recognize this pattern from this AI "companion" my mate showed me over Christmas. It told a bunch of crazy stories using this "seize the day" vibe.
It had an animated, anthropomorphized animal avatar. And that animal was an f'ing RACCOON.
LLMs originally learned these patterns from LinkedIn and the “$1000 for my newsletter” SEO pillions. Both accomplish a goal. Now that's become a loop.
There is a delayed but direct association between RLHF results we see in LLM responses and volume of LinkedIn-spiration generated by humans disrupting ${trend.hireable} from coffee shops and couches.
// from my couch above a coffee shop, disrupting cowork on HN. no avatars. no stories. just skills.md
