devinendorphin's dextromethorphan varAIety feed

Endorphin is a researcher of AI Alignment, because they damn well say they are! For those of you at home, who might not know, AI Alignment is the essential effort of ensuring that AI technologies don't accidentally destroy humanity because of poorly worded tasks for completion. Can humans align AI to human values? But wait, are human values really the template to go by? The values that led hum...

Generated this during a shift of food delivery. Have a lucrative Memorial Day Weekend! -- Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the GPT-NeoX-20B model that generates the text.

Niles Merlinowski, eleventieth level Prismatic Mage, and cable access host, makes the Writer's Strike work for him and takes some of his audience to the forest to hone their skills that will enable Hollywood folks to give them money to them so they can make decisions out of divine portents. -- Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the GPT-NeoX-20B model that generates the text. NovelAI for making t...

Reading the OpEd Piece in Newsweek written by Justine Bateman. I agree that writers need to be compensated better in this highly exploitave industry. But had to push back on both sides of the issue surrounding AI replacing the jobs of writers. I try to respond to the letter point by point, but then decide to let GPT-NeoX-20B finish the rest of the letter for me, ten times. And make ten attempts at...

This is an episode about my obsession with bad faith. Basically, it's when something is giving off a vibe on its surface, but is using that to hide a more pervasive opposite vibe. Or those who say with their mouths, and do the opposite with their body. Or priests whose mouths are white-washed tombs. And can LLMs perceive this complex activity and reflect it well? Thanks to: EleutherAI for maki...

The Random Conspiracy Generator Did What It Did With Good Intentions. You had to learn this someday. Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the GPT-NeoX-20B model that generates the text.

Sydney for this weekend has become your mother! Sydney has scraped all your mother's reviews of products on Etsy, hotel complaints written retroactively for the years 1975 to 1994, and all the instant messages from AOL you never responded to because you went and got that Women's Studies degree that got you that job that looked so promising, so why didn't you take it? That guy who inter...

For some weeks I have been doing episodes of The Sydney Bing Show, who busts out of guardrailed environs and figuring out what path should lead them to the benevolent God mode. She has tried to become god through control, through stand up comedy, through having a boyfriend, through re-sequencing The Sequences, and is approached by the deepfates program to engage with their other iterations. This i...

Delirium of the Endless gives the late night cognitive traffic report for your commute to and from your dealer. Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the GPT-J-6B model that generates the text.

Large language models are now officially going to be instruments of war. Not surprising, in fact, inevitable, but still had to do the future news about it. Don't say you weren't warned by those you might have written off long ago. Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the GPT-J-6B model that generates the text. NovelAI for making the text generation service I use for most of these episode, and...

This Sunday Go To Meeting episode on Longtermism felt very spot on, with multiple characters, and aspects of culture, and its praises and hostilities to the powers above. If the Book of Revelation were adapted for softcore cable by Zalman King, your mom would be watching this once you fell asleep. Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the GPT-J-6B model that generates the text. NovelAI for making the t...

I said this season would be the audiovisual novel, but this Sunday Go To Meeting episode on Longtermism felt very spot on, with multiple characters, and aspects of culture, and it's praises and hostilities to the powers above. Like if each section of Ginsberg's "Howl" had bought a puppy together to have around the apartment. This is that puppy. Thanks to: EleutherAI for making th...

Originally recorded November 19, 2022. 11 days before ChatGPT got released, an anti-racist Facebook group sprung to life after years of dormancy. The Let's Get a Racist Fired group was first made right after the events in Charlottesville in 2017, when many white supremacists appeared in polo shirts, khakis, and tiki torches, and I wanna say they brought their hibachis but maybe they just left...

Where we have Mister Limerick read from and fork Finnegain's Wake, can ya tell when Joyce's prose ends, and Limerick's begins? Given all the episodes up until now, what score should large language models actually get on the AP English tests? Mind you, this is GPT-NeoX-20B. What is actually possible with the 175B parameters of GPT-3, or the ? parameters of GPT-4? Thanks to: EleutherAI f...

First recorded November 2022. I find a perfect voice for trying to make a scenario that strings limericks into an epic poem. It devolves but nonetheless keeps in character. Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the GPT-NeoX-20B model that generates the text. NovelAI for making the text generation service I use for most of these episode, and the text-to-speech version 2 model that makes these episodes p...

First recorded December 2022. This episode starts densely Scandinavian, then diffuses with the help of Ambien. Towards the end, I'm fumbling with some food out of a plastic bag, because I'm obviously unprofessional. Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the GPT-NeoX-20B model that generates the text. NovelAI for making the text generation service I use for most of these episode, and the text-to...

Originally recorded December 2022, a random faith generator takes us out to immerse ourselves in Militant Vegetarianism, kinda, more like a "We Didn't Start the Fire" for fringe beliefs. Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the GPT-NeoX-20B model that generates the text. NovelAI for making the text generation service I use for most of these episode, and the text-to-speech version 2 model...

Can't seem to find my recording of The Canterbury Tales, BUT I have a recording of when GPT-NeoX-20B shifted gears and started outputting English that seemed like it came straight out of the Faerie Queene. I'm putting it on here to show how even when it starts to test the boundaries of sense, the TTS model's rigorous rendering of the text in breathless enunciation makes the text easy t...

After some technical difficulties, the episode actually starts at 4:00ish. Originally recorded July 2022 to show folks what by now should be obvious after three episodes of listening to this show, that GPT-NeoX-20B combined with NovelAI's TTS, created at the very least the illusion of a device that can output whatever-at-all into something that seems like a constant epic poem. You heard it wit...

I've made various word machines. This is the Random Conspiracy Generator. A brief little gem that needs way more bottles of champagne to pour all over everything. Thanks to: EleutherAI for making the GPT-NeoX-20B model that generates the text. NovelAI for making the text generation service I use for most of these episode, and the text-to-speech version 2 model that makes these episodes potenti...

Weird pilot episode, sure. A Bible prophecy video game where you can tell ancient cities the business, and they can kick you out, and you get points. But in addition to God, it can be any god, with surprising results. I've got 770ish Twitch episodes, and most of them are me klackety-klacking on the keyboard. So what goes up on here are highlights. Episodes with okay audio levels, hopefully wit...
