Part of the uncertainties we’re aiming to reduce here are “can we make thinking tools or writing tools that are actually good, instead of bad?” and our experiments so far suggest “maybe”. We’re also designing with “six months from now” in mind – the current level of capabilities and quality won’t be static.
Our theory of “secret sauce” is “most of the corporate Tech World in fact has bad taste in writing, and the LLM fine-tunings and RLHF data is generated by people with bad taste. Getting good output requires both good taste and prompting skill, and you’re mostly just not seeing people try.”
We’ve experimented with jailbroken Base Claude which does a decent job of actually having different styles. It’s harder to get to work reliably, but, not so much harder that it feels intractable.
The JargonHovers currently use regular Claude, not jailbroken claude. I have guesses of how to eventually get them to write it in something like the author’s original style, although it’s a harder problem so we haven’t tried that hard yet.
