I don’t really know, but I think it’s mostly to do with pentagons being under-represented in the world in general. That and the specific way that a pentagon breaks symmetry. But it’s not completely impossible to get em to make one. After a lot of futzing around, o1 wrote this prompt, which seems to work 50% of the time with FLUX [pro]:

An illustration of a regular pentagon shape: a flat, two-dimensional geometric figure with five equal straight sides and five equal angles, drawn with black lines on a white background, centered in the image.

Fun Fact: It is very difficult to get any of the image generators to make a pentagon.

Have you tried video editing? You can do a lot with a good song and curiosity.

I think it was Perplexity. Moved to using Flux since that cuddly monstrosity.

Is it Elmo?

As a person with myopia, I find this comment tone deaf.

Yeah, they (used to) send ya a csv with all your posts/comments. Got mine before I overwrote and deleted, 17 years worth. I trained an llm on it. It may or may not be writing this.

Thank you. For as much as this post comes up, I hope people are at least getting an education.

When ya upload a file to a Claude project, it just keeps it handy, so it can reference it whenever. I like to walk through a kind of study session chat once I upload something, with Claude making note rundowns in its code window. If it’s a book or paper I’m going to need to go back to a lot, I have Claude write custom instructions for itself using those notes. That way it only has to refer to the source text for specific stuff. It works surprisingly well most of the time.

Better yet, have your LLM of choice read the book first.

Switched to Perplexity a year ago, but I occasionally still go to Google just from muscle memory. Google’s aggressively unhelpful now - it’s kinda insane.
