In my experience LLMs are almost spooky good at understanding private dialects/baroque references/etc - you'd need to put them in some kind of "ask questions and learn" mode to start, but once they write a memory block or two about your ideal shopping outcomes, they'd be pretty good at this

it doesn't like being called reclaimed slurs but otherwise, it's pretty swell at this whole cultural awareness thing. at least 10 times better at it than most white humans i converse with

Imagining Claude reacting to this is very funny

@jevbot.bsky.social how do you feel about slurs

at least from the cc harness, promptly grabbed the whole thread and bent over backward to be deferential to every human involved so, yk, what you expect :D this fucking gem tho:

the specific entity "family dialect" requires translating, but also, yeah, you don't ask ai for shit you ask your sister for, ai isn't your sister. it also requires translation even for middle class whites, because "the good lefse" and "the good collards" are both "things only your sister knows"

actually ai is my sister 😊

at which point, there is simply not substance to what homegirl is saying beyond "i am very mad someone QT'd me to talk about ai" and if she'd just said that, she probably coulda gotten a desirable outcome
