Last year's AI Dungeon was a sensation, for good reason: Nick Walton's deployment of GPT and GPT2 to automatically generate D&D-style text adventures that were simultaneously sophisticated and just super-weird.

Well, GPT has a new version, GPT3, and it's the most powerful machine learning prose-generation tool in wide use, and when Walton applied it to AI Dungeon, the results were jaw-dropping.

<<You say you are a nameless man. You are not to your wife and to your child. You will not long remain so to your immediate colleagues if you can answer their simple questions when they come into your office. You are not nameless to me. Do not remain nameless to yourself – it is too sad a way to be.>>

It's incredible to think that EFF is now 30 years old (likewise incredible to think that I've been to the 15th, 20th, and 25th birthday parties!).

Normally, we'd be having a blowout, maybe at the DNA Lounge, but of course, it's a livestream instead, this Friday from 3-10PM Pacific.

Interested in shader coding? Want to learn how to do it? Fill out the Suricrasia Online Shader Coding Seminar Preliminary Interest Survey! 🎨💥🦈

Based on the responses I might do some kind of teaching thing for shader coding!

I really dislike the "meat prison" meme? Your body IS part of you, you think with your gut as much as you think with your brain or gonads, so much of who you are outside your hunger and horniness is what has been stuck in the physical memory of your brain. If you recorded your memories differently you would be a different person, if you did not have a sexdrive and you do, you would be a different person, you are the sum of small processecies taking place all over your body, not a trapped mind.

For example: "Springer Nature — Research Book Series: Transactions on Computational Science and Computational Intelligence" is publishing a neophrenological paper called "A Deep Neural Network Model to Predict Criminality Using Image Processing."

The title is both admirably clear and terribly obscure. You could subtitle it: "Keep arresting brown people."
