The "A collection of speculative prototypes" section in the Epistemic Ducks essay was a placeholder with stub headings and reused demo images. The prototypes from the Language Model Sketchbook note (Daemons, Branches, Epi) are a natural fit since they all explore using LMs for critical thinking.

Changes

  • src/content/essays/epistemic-ducks.mdx
    • Replaced the placeholder section (Branches / Argument maps / Daemons / Epi stubs pointing at demo1-3.jpg) with cut-down write-ups of Daemons, Branches, and Epi, reframed around epistemic rubber ducking (e.g. Daemons as "a small chorus of ducks, each prodding at a different epistemic weak spot").
    • Each prototype now has a short intro, the YouTube demo video, and one representative screenshot from /images/posts/lm-sketchbook/ (vs. the 3–7 screenshots in the sketchbook).
    • Added a wikilink back to [[Language Model Sketchbook, or Why I Hate Chatbots]] for the full write-ups.
    • Added Video component import.
    • Dropped the "Argument maps" stub since there's no corresponding sketchbook prototype.
  • src/content/notes/lm-sketchbook.mdx — untouched.
