I saw Fable come online, but was rather busy. It kept taunting me as I worked through daily tasks with Claude Code. Finally I was like "Ok, I have a real business problem, a supply chain one (thanks Strait of Hormuz), let’s see what Fable can do…and let’s do ultracode. it was like casually walking right onto the tip of a rocketship then saying “let’s see what this hunk of metal can do.” I was blown away, so were my session credits. Wowza, ok, let’s plan here. I had another 3 hours until session credits (and weekly credits for me) reset. Let’s plan something big. So I schemed a big project around mental models and uncovering my blind spots and cognitive biases. A journey into my mind. Spent some time crafting the perfect prompt. As soon as everything reset I hit go. It blew through my Teams Premium session credits in about 45 minutes. I let it go another hour, spent $200 on extra usage, then paused it until session restart. Did this several times until I had used 85% of my weekly usage in a day and spent $1k on extra usage. Jeez. it was almost done, but I had to ration it or I was going to go broke and I hadn’t seen much yet even though it was mostly done. Woke up Saturday to it gone. Prior model said just some finishing touches left, but I kinda didnt’ trust it. I didn’t think it could really grasp the work. But I had it give me some of the unfinished output and that alone changed my brain, maybe forever. I saw into myself in a way I never had and was reading about myself things that seemed obviously true as I read them but that I had never seen before. A true blind spot, exposed and served back to me on a platter. This was a true awakening moment for me. Not like a drug-induced burning man awakening to some purpose or meaning. More like a “survived a crash” perspective shift of the world and myself. My mind began racing as I thought about what’s next in this big AI journey we’re all on. Positive and negative. I had met, if just for a day, something that was not just smarter than me, but already knew me better than I knew myself. I became fully aware of the potential for my entire consciousness to be manipulated and thoughts served to me as if they’re my own, but in service to something else. I think we all experience a little of this with cognitive bias manipulation, but this felt like full-on, walking zombie potential (not dead zombie, just fully in someone else’s control…like virus or cordyceps zombie). I had to call a friend over to help talk me off this cliff. He did, thankfully. And I firewalled all the data. Calmed down into the potential for this to upgrade my consciousness far better than any ayahuasca journey. Anyone else have an awakening with Fable? submitted by /u/ConceptGreen65
