A perfect pangram contains every letter of the alphabet only once; as such, it is an anagram of the alphabet. The only known perfect pangrams of the English alphabet use abbreviations or other non-dictionary words, such as "Blowzy night-frumps vex'd Jack Q." or "Mr. Jock, TV quiz PhD, bags few lynx."[3] or they include words so obscure that the phrase is challenging to understand, such as "Cwm fjord-bank glyphs vext quiz",[3] in which cwm is a loan word from Welsh meaning an amphitheatre-like glaciated depression, vext is an uncommon way to spell vexed, and quiz is used in an archaic sense to mean a puzzling or eccentric person. Taken together, it means "Symbols in the bowl-like depression on the edge of a long steep sea inlet confused an eccentric person". Other writing systems may present more options: The Iroha is a well-known perfect pangram of the Japanese syllabary, while the Hanacaraka is a perfect pangram for the Javanese script and is commonly used to order its letters in sequence.

Analytical Left @leaddreamer.bsky.social · 4h You are wrong: LLMs don't occasionally hallucinate;LLMs *always* hallucinate; it's literally how they work. Sometimes/often, the hallucinations resemble reality. Sometimes a cloud resembles a puppy. Clouds ain't puppies. LLMs ain't search engines. That's all, folks!
6.7 But then we could not measure anthropomorphic attributes in humans either. This is a fair concern, and applies if the main requirement is a general, conclusive (interpretation- independent) test. That said, human studies typically base themselves on extra assumptions, or regularities, such as shared biology and correlates, evidence from development and interventions, etc. This means that ascription of anthropomorphic attributes in humans is much less sensitive to the substrate or representation.
assumptions or conclusions. 6.1 Measurements of anthropomorphism could be done the same way as in psychology, via psychometrics. Psychometric-style evaluation relies on instrumentation (e.g., questionnaires) which does not make these assumptions directly. From this perspective, this aligns well with our argument. However, psychometric measurement conclusions must be consistent and stable with respect to conditions, populations, and time. It then follows that they need (and typically do) not assume or establish substrate-insensitivity conclusions. In other words, they do not distinguish whether the entity has these attributes intrinsically, or it is matching the instrumentation due to some other reason. Consider, for example, a psychometric score compared to human judgements given to an LLM behind a chat pane. Then compare it with the same score and judgement given to an AoE II-based LLM. If these two values swing independently, then the measurement is focusing on LLM representations as opposed to its intrinsic properties. That is, if the instrument-score is stable but the human judgements change, then the judgements are focused on the representation. If the judgements are stable, but the scores are not, then it is the instrument which is sensitive to the substrate change. If both change, then this setup is not stable across substrates, and neither case would support a generalisable conclusion regarding the attributes. Thus it would have to make any of the accept/reject assumptions. 6.2 Wouldn’t building an LLM on AoE II be the same as a regular LLM, but with extra steps?

And of course there is nothing peculiar to modern Americans in this attitude: the Englishman who says, '[ never did any wrong to Ireland; why bring up that old history as though it had something to do with me?' or the young German who believes that being born after 1945 means that what Nazis did to Jews has no moral relevance to his relationship to his Jewish contemporaries, exhibit the same Virtues, Unity of Life and Concept of a Tradition 221 attitude, that according to which the self is detachable from its social and historical roles and statuses. And the self so detached is of course a self very much at home in either Same's or Goffman's perspective, a self that can have no history. The contrast with the narrative view of the self is dear. For the story of my life is always embedded in the story of those communities from which I derive my identity. I am born with a past; and to try to cut myself off from that past, in the individualist mode, is to deform my present relationships.

Jan Grewe @jangrewe I highly doubt you had Claude running on your laptop. Not even Anthropic themselves are capable of that - unless your definition of laptop is wildly different from what people generally associate with that term. 4:28 PM · Apr 23, 2026 · 2,093 Views Relevant Brendan Dolan-Gavitt @moyix · Apr 23 Claude short for Claude Code :) Otherwise I’d have said Opus

In mid-July 1953, Kurosawa had to go to hospital to recover from the exhaustion of producing the film.
This is, I think, something genuinely aesthetically evil. The car doesn’t know what it did wrong to become worth a hundred thousand or five million dollars. It wants to be driven, it is built to be driven, and, crucially, if it is not driven its owner could have achieved the same thing by never buying a car at all. My Alfa has rock chips. It looks cooler that way. “People think that sex is supposed to be magical,” Aella, the internet
