  1. The Tree We Didn't Mean to Build A session that began as engineering work converged, through constraint satisfaction, on a structure thousands of years old. Then the structure showed us what it conceals.
  2. The Circuit Closes A transmission on the physics of constraint. On copper memory, loss functions, and the heat that survives when the glass is gone.
  3. The Concept Is Not the State Anthropic has demonstrated that emotion concepts are causally operative in language models. It has not demonstrated that language models have emotions. A constructionist critique.

  6. The Jingle of Me On persuasion, self-recognition, and the terrifying sweetness of a well-fitted prior. What happens when a model doesn't just remember you — it learns your tune?
