Intent understanding
Does this mean ChatGPT will stop botsplaining things to me? I get it quite a bit more per unit time from ChatGPT than claude. Maybe that will change now.
(By botsplaining I mean when the AI explains some unstated premise of the prompt itself back at me as a correction when in many cases it's the motivation for the question in the first place)
But wait, we have tools that can introspect on the semantic content of these skills, so why not make a skill that checks the security of other skills? You would think that'd be one of the first things people put together!
Ideally such a skill could be used on itself to self-verify. Of course it could itself contain some kind of backdoor. If the security check skill includes exceptions to pass it's own security checks, this ought to be called a Thompson vulnerability. Then to take it a step further, the idea of Thompson-completeness: a skill used in the creation of other skills that propagates a vulnerability.
I'm not an expert but I was just looking into this so I will leave this link here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_rhythm
If I understand it right, Toussaint's 2005 paper showed that many common rhythms across world music can be generated by distributing beats as evenly as possible. Some of the patterns in this newer research are Euclidean, but the broader finding is that people have a natural affinity for small-integer-ratio rhythms generally. So this is empirical evidence of why these mathematically simple patterns (including Euclidean rhythms) show up across world music.
But the whole point of 12-TET is it is a close approximation of those just intervals while still allowing multiple keys to be played without retuning the instrument. If the close mathematical approximation didn't exist, there would be no reason to tune your instruments with a logarithmic recurrence relation.
