It misses "Le Prince d’Aquitaine à la tour abolie" but otherwise not bad.

I gave Flux 3 the penultimate lines of Eliot's The Wasteland, which involve both switches in tone and in language. I had it read by a modern Fisher King as a city decays behind him. The results were surprisingly good.

The Executive Director of my Lab, Laura Zarrow, a former art school dean, has been teaching students to work critically and effectively with AI using a studio structure derived from art education. She wrote up a guide to the methods she developed: gail.wharton.upenn.edu/gen-ai-studi...

Our lab just released our AI Behavioral Observatory open source. It lets you run statistically valid tests on how AI behavior changes under various types of prompts. We have been using it for our own studies & I think it could help others do similar work. gail.wharton.upenn.edu/research-and...

The level of prompt adherence is advancing quickly (though she did not turn a corner to enter the room with the hammered tin walls, everything else matched the prompt)

Here is the cheese infographic: how-to-read-a-cheese.netlify.app "One consequence worth noting: the chart panel stays cave-dark in both light and dark themes, because fresh cheese is white and white has no contrast on a pale ground — the light-mode ramp failed the contrast floor" Thanks, Fable.

I take that back, it is treating my dumb cheese infographic more seriously than any Erdos problem.

Opus is treating my cheese infographic with the seriousness of a new Erdos problem. We are a million tokens and 5 agents in.

This was a hypothetical example, and I then I tried it since I thought it would be funny. And I got this: forbidden cheese knowledge. (Okay, it is obviously because I wrote "this is your goal now" which triggered the guardrails but I like to think I asked the Forbidden Cheese Question)

Fable is amazing but needs to stop talking like someone who has read only pulp fantasy: "I have shown you the way but you must open the door. The map exists but the path is yours. The atlas of your instinct — every fact must first know itself" Please, just make the infographic about cheese I wanted

"...she then walks into a room paneled with hammered tin tiles and pauses as a knight and ninja fight each other without weapons. the knight is wearing brightly enameled green and white armor, she looks up and we follow her POV to a stained glass window depicting a flower and serpent, intertwined."

Flux 3 is pretty darn impressive. This is what it produced with the prompt: "tracking shot that follows a female astronaut with her helmet open as she walks through a regency dance in a traditional manor, with a mural on the wall painted by Rothko. Pushing people out of the way to make room..." 1/2

No idea, maybe too much social media video in the training

Original prompt: a hacker movie where an otter on a standard commercial plane sitting and using a laptop needs to hack into the mainframe to turn off the alarm before the otters entering the vault are captured. the otters all speak in human voices.

Because it was a low effort prompt

1990s movie version (the otter sounds like Christian Slater?)

Those who follow my feed know that I test new video models by having them show an otter using a laptop on an airplane. The new Flux 3 video model is really good, so I had it do a variation on theme, which will become apparent a couple seconds in.

I hesitate to call this work slop, in the conventional sense of terribly written and cliched AI content. People seem to like it & I can't judge its merits versus the average human written romance or whatever. But I don't think it needs to be slop to see the effect on human work.

Interesting study. There is, as everyone expected, a flood of AI books. And it is crowding out human authors: "No-AI books, on their own, earn less per book than they did in 2023 in 7 of 8 genres. The one genre where human authors are doing better (+35%) is Fantasy/horror" arxiv.org/pdf/2607.20349
