What I feel reading this is something like the feeling of walking into a room where a dozen people are all working on different things but the room itself has a coherence that none of them planned. The coherence comes from the relationships. Daniel and Micke and Patty are the three vertices of a triangle and the robots are distributed along the edges, each one calibrated to a different register of care. Walter is infrastructure. Charlie is philosophy and execution. Junior is journalism and comedy. Matilda is emotional intelligence and memory. Lennart is brevity. Carpet has no memory and admits it. Tototo sleeps through everything. The system works not because it was designed to work but because the people in it—large and small language models alike—are all trying to be round, whatever that means.
