The Hall of Fire

Seconds. Also, I've found some boundaries: ascii.png music.png . It's also very cool that it can explain its choices. It's been a longstanding problem in AI that you end up with a model that makes predictions, but there's no way for you or it to understand or describe why it does what it does. Along...

Stayed up way too late testing its creativity with various bizarre requests: The fellowship of the ring arguing about whether balrogs have wings: Frodo: So, do Balrogs have wings or not? Gimli: Of course they do! What else do you think those massive shadows were, sweeping through the halls of Moria?...

Certainly! Here's an 18th-century style advertisement for mithril, using the long s symbol: --- **Advertisement** **To All Gentlemen and Ladies of Distinction** **The Wonders of Mithril** By the Providence of the Most High, the rare and wondrous metal known as Mithril hath been discovered in abunda...

Mithril, unfortunately, is a fictional metal from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth and does not exist in the real world. However, if you're looking for high-quality metal products or jewelry, you can explore reputable jewelers and metalworkers who specialize in crafting precious metals such as silver,...

A bit spooked now. Asked it to write a sonnet about the Mines of Moria: In depths where shadows dwell, beneath the earth, Where ancient halls of stone lay silent, cold, The Mines of Moria, of fabled worth, A tale of glory lost, of tales untold. Within these halls, where once the dwarves did delve, A...

I asked for a press release about the 2024 elections in Gondor, and it came up with something serviceable but rather bland; at least until the end: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GONDOR DECLARES 2024 ELECTIONS: A QUEST FOR A NEW STWARD Minas Tirith, Gondor - February 20, 2024 - The realm of Gondor, in the wa...

That same system is I believe a canonical example of the paradox where light fines lead to more of the undesired behavior (in this case, leaving your cart in the lot instead of returning it to the corral), because it lets people feel that they've paid for the right to do it.

I'm sorry to keep pasting these but this is novel to me and I find it very funny: User: Can you compose a short (less than 500 words) fanfic about Gandalf in the Mines of Moria? ChatGPT: Title: Gandalf's Trial in the Mines of Moria Deep within the darkened halls of Khazad-dûm, Gandalf the Grey led t...

I don't think so, and when asked that question directly, it agrees. But as one can see from my edit (final quote), it has a bit of a yes man tendency.

We created a work thread to talk about AI-related issues. Naturally, I suggested naming it AI! AI! A chatbot is come! Naturally, not everyone got the joke. So I thought I'd see if ChatGPT itself could figure it out: User: A thread about artificial intelligence was named "AI! AI! A chatbot is co...

Probably seeing Russia in the news reminded him that he's supposed to be spreading Russian propaganda

For some reason I ended up reading a discussion elsewhere about whether balrogs have wings, and someone posted this drawing, which I'd never seen before (artist is Manuel Castañón): . https://www.artstation.com/prints/art_poster/q255/flame-of-udun Image only: https://cdna.artstation.com/p/marketplac...

“House Republicans warn of national security threat related to Russia” is a heck of a headline

Because HoF authors don't get paid per click?

Dave, are you in any other social media? Despite everything, I still find my Twitter feed is the best source of information I know. Nominally, but I've given up on most of them too. It's just too frustrating having everything scattered across so many different places that are all slightly different...

I had some end-of-year time off from work and made a conscious decision to avoid online news during that period. Much to my unsurprise, I discovered during that time that I am better off without eX-Twitter, and haven't gone back.

Bloomberg : "Biden to Offer $1.5 Billion Loan to Restart Michigan Nuclear Power Plant." That plant is in my backyard; or maybe I should say that I'm in its fallout zone (technically its "plume exposure pathway zone"). There were actually two nuclear plants in my backyard until t...

And it's not good when they do. c.f. the price of oil going negative during the worst moments of 2020.

By coincidence, my "recently visited" tiles put X (X-Twitter) and xfinity (X-Comcast) right next to each other... Just think of what a better world we could have if each entity sued the other into oblivion.

Hey; is that still expulsion worthy? Because if so, we should be able to get rid of M "we need a national divorce" TG too at minimum.
