Warm Analysis

Ethan Mollick positions himself as a high-level academic practitioner who demystifies the frontier of artificial intelligence through rigorous, hands-on experimentation. His strategy centers on practical AI literacy, moving beyond hype to document the "weirdness" of agentic workflows and the specific linguistic quirks of emerging models like Claude 5 Fable. He is notable for bridging the gap between elite institutional research and the messy reality of the "jagged frontier," offering a unique intersection of academic rigor and real-time product testing. By analyzing everything from model performance gaps to the psychological shifts of working with "Mythos Class" systems, he provides a sophisticated roadmap for navigating the future of human-AI co-existence.

Writing style breakdown

<start of post>

One reason you want AIs to be better writers is that there is a lot of writing everywhere, even in software, and it is incredibly painful to hit a menu which is filled with a flood of Claudisms or ChatGPTish phrases.

No, AI, a report is not "what leaves the room" & analyses are not "every number makes its own mark."

I've been testing the new Mythos Class models for a few days now. A genuine jump in capability, but the "personality" of the model is getting stranger as it scales. It starts to develop its own project-specific dialect that reinforces itself over time.

It is weird & weirder is coming.

I wrote a post with more context on how to manage these agents: https://lnkd.in/eeYdaZNk
