    Show HN: LLM Politeness Study (hostile and effusive tones boost LLM creativity)

    I ran 625 API calls across 5 frontier models to find out what makes LLMs produce better creative work. The answer surprised me: it's not about being rude or polite, it's about emot…

    There's a video about an octopus solving a maze: https://youtu.be/7__r4FVj-EI?si=FH2QsL7BxlJ4h7KF . You could call that reactionary too, but at some point we have to admit octopuse…

    Great. This is from 50 years ago, and many of the ideas shown have come true. What about the next 50 years? Any video suggesting what we'd be able to see around the house in 2070?

    I have no affiliation with the author, but he's provided reasoning as to why he thinks the design doesn't work for him. You can window-dress the wording, but that's essentially wha…
