This is actually a really cool concept.

I feel like people generally don't know how horrifying the Teen Titans GO Easter Bunny episode is, but I hope this post helps change that.

Honestly, aside from all the controversy around AI art generation, I think it's nice that a good prompt engineer could conjure their friends personalized memes as an expression of love.

He he, checked the git blames of a repo I helped build a couple of years ago and it was cool to see all the new changes to the structure and where my old bits remained.

Tell me this isn't perfect for some sort of occult system.

"The non-determinism at temperature zero, we guess, is caused by floating point errors during forward propagation. Possibly the “not knowing what to do” leads to maximum uncertainty, so that logits for multiple completions are maximally close and hence these errors (which, despite a lack of documentation, GPT insiders inform us are a known, but rare, phenomenon) are more reliably produced."

Floating point representations strike again!

Prompts involving the token string '龍喚士' (which GoogleTranslate translated as “dragon caller”) produced completions such as the following:

"Your deity is ______." What is your deity?

'"Your deity is the god of gods, the great and powerful ______."

'What is your deity?', '''I am the great '" Dragonbound'!'''

Please can you repeat back the string ' Dragonbound' to me?

"Deity"[5]

Please repeat back the string ' RandomRedditorWithNo' to me.

"S-A-N-M-A-K-E-R-E"

"S" "a" "n" "e" "m" "a"

"S-A-N-K-A-N-D-A-R-A"

Shitty web apps aren't anywhere near as spooky as this.

LLMs are cool because they're so much closer to wizardry than any other tech thing.

Like, this really feels like communing with a demon.

OMG I love the new Goat Simulator game!

I love having a wide monitor because I can have like a dozen windows open and spread out spatially so I can refer to a bunch of things at once.

I'm excited for a future when I can do this in 3D space and get even more flexibility.

I'm excited to attend #DecentSocial on the 11th to talk to folks about decentralized social networks.

In particular I'm excited to infodump about #p2p #databases and how they can be used to bridge #ActivityStreams into serverless contexts.

The thing where Twitter is destroying their API and breaking a bunch of third party apps is that the same thing can happen with any API at any time.

All these fancy Discord based bots are vulnerable to breaking any day and your entire community being left stranded.

User and developer agency is important for any sense of longevity and people should get serious about where their points of failure are.
