use AI to rewrite all the spells from all the books, then try to see if AI can detect the rewritten ones. This will ensure it's not pulling from it's trained data set.
Neat idea, but why should I use AI for a find and replace? It feels like shooting a fly with a bazooka

#822Just tested the new Opus 4.6 (1M context) on a fun needle-in-a-haystack challenge: finding every spell in all Harry Potter books. All 7 books come to ~1.75M tokens, so they don't quite fit yet. (At this rate of progress, mid-April should do it ) For now you can fit the first 4 books (~733K tokens). Results: Opus 4.6 found 49 out of 50 officially documented spells across those 4 books. The only miss was "Slugulus Eruc…
Surely the corpus Opus 4.6 ingested would include whatever reference you used to check the spells were there. I mean, there are probably dozens of pages on the internet like this: https://www.wizardemporium.com/blog/complete-list-of-harry-p... Why is this impressive? Do you think it's actually ingesting the books and only using those as a reference? Is that how LLMs work at all? It seems more likely it's predicting t…

I was playing about with Chat GPT the other day, uploading screen shots of sheet music and asking it to convert it to ABC notation so I could make a midi file of it. The results seemed impressive until I noticed some of the "Thinking" statements in the UI. One made it apparent the model / agent / whatever had read the title from the screenshot and was off searching for existing ABC transcripts of the piece Ode to Joy…
Yes I have found that grok for example actually suddenly becomes quite sane when you tell it to stop querying the internet And just rethink the conversation data and answer the question. It's weird, it's like many agents are now in a phase of constantly getting more information and never just thinking with what they've got.

Opus 4.6 Extended thinking: ``` Finding the Inner Diameter The coaster sits beneath the glass on the table, meaning the glass rests on top of it. Assuming the coaster matches the outer diameter of the glass base: Outer diameter of glass = diameter of coaster = 9 Wall thickness = 1 (on each side, so subtract twice) dinner=9−2(1)=7d_{\text{inner}} = 9 - 2(1) = 7dinner =9−2(1)=7 The inner diameter of the glass is 7. ```…
Assumptions need to be stated or you're solving only a discreet part of the problem! Try this, see if you get another deadpan assumption. A solar system has 3 planets in concentric orbit. PlanetZ is the farthest with an orbit diameter of 9. PlanetY has an obit diameter one greater than PlanetX. What is the orbit diameter of PlanetX?

Here's a kākāpō riding a bicycle instead: https://gist.github.com/simonw/19574e1c6c61fc2456ee413a24528... I don't think it quite captures their majesty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C4%81k%C4%81p%C5%8D

Clearly a very useful, grounded and helpful everyday use case of LLMs. I guess in the absence of real-world use cases, we'll have to do AI boosting with such "impressive" feats.
Btw - a well crafted regex could have achieved the same (pointless) result with ~0.0000005% of resources the LLM machine used.
