austinc3301 suggests feeding all the classic papers and reports on AI research acceleration to Fable 5.2 in a non-sycophantic way and using it as a thought partner. He found it surprisingly good at modeling Tom Davidson's positions during data fights, which revealed his initial objections were weaker than he thought.
The takeaway is a concrete usage pattern: strip the model of sycophancy and force it to argue against you on the data to stress-test your own arguments.
