bozeman (part 2)
the news is too filled with lies. i cannot repeat any of it.
trying to start my own movement would be a fool's errand.
when I ask Claude to improve Atacama, it suggests things that are unnecessary.
I ask the machine to generate metadata for a quote:
b = common.quotes.generate_quote_metadata(quote_text="The bloody baron has his own reasons for being invisible", model="gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18")
{'theme': 'mystery', 'tone': 'suspenseful', 'attribution': {'author_type': 'fictional', 'speaker': 'unknown', 'context': 'This quote appears in a fictional narrative involving a character known as the bloody baron, suggesting themes of secrecy and hidden motives.', 'time_period': 'fantasy'}, 'interpretation': 'The quote implies that the bloody baron has hidden agendas or motivations that are not immediately apparent, suggesting a deeper complexity to his character and actions.', 'keywords': ['invisibility', 'mystery', 'motivation', 'secrecy', 'character'], 'related_topics': ['secrecy', 'character development', 'mystery'], 'literary_devices': ['irony', 'foreshadowing']}
b = common.quotes.generate_quote_metadata(quote_text="The bloody baron has his own reasons for being invisible", model="gpt-4o-2024-11-20")
print(b[0])
{'theme': 'Mystery', 'tone': 'Intriguing', 'attribution': {'author_type': 'fictional', 'speaker': 'The Bloody Baron', 'context': 'The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling', 'time_period': 'Fictional universe, 20th century'}, 'interpretation': 'The quote suggests that the character, the Bloody Baron, has a complex backstory and motivations that influence his actions and state of being.', 'keywords': ['invisibility', 'mystery', 'character', 'motivation', 'backstory'], 'related_topics': ['Character development', 'Secrets', 'Supernatural elements'], 'literary_devices': ['Allusion', 'Mystery']}
💡 the larger model identifies it as a Harry Potter quote. But, fails to attribute the speaker correctly.
⚙️ the "unified" client isn't included in this repo. I don't have Claude API access yet anyway. And Ollama still struggles with Structured JSON.
there are a few ways to look at Atacama.
one way is that it is just my personal blogging platform.
another is that some of the various "modules" (such as render chess position, track quotes) will have a life of their own.
✨ as we shape our tools, so do our tools shape us
my meandering digests across multiple topics are difficult for all sorts of tools.
so they will be split up more, and meander less.
and, as i adjust, so will the tools.
