GPT-4o got a whole lot closer to realism though- I’d say we’re better than Skyrim’s pre recorded speech system at this point.

Wow, better than a game released in 2011...

Saw this gem of a plaintive plea from a promptfan:

can’t you just train a LLM to only output “sorry, I can’t answer your question”?

Maybe it's because I've started reading a book about Germany and Austro-Hungary in WW1 (Ring of Steel) but I've suddenly started pattern-matching a bunch of pro A-H comments in HN. "It was a peaceful multi-national nation" well yeah until they pointlessly insisted on invading Serbia (and fucking that up twice before being bailed out by Germany) thus setting of the wider war. And when refugees from Galicia had to flee the Russians they were not happily accepted by the rest of the Empire.

Anyway, A-H was teetering on the edge before WW1 and signed their own death warrant willingly.

As always in HN you can find links to new horrifying examples of fascism: https://theworthyhouse.com/2021/06/17/the-foundationalist-manifesto-the-politics-of-future-past/

Oh shit, that's where I recognize his name from. Very disappointing he's full on the LLM train.

It's interesting how little buzz this is getting on HN...

The Network School is particularly aimed at "dark talent" cohorts—individuals with exceptional skills or perspectives that often fall outside traditional educational and professional molds. These include creative individuals, physical fitness enthusiasts, tech innovators, and media mavericks who bring a diverse array of skills to the educational environment.

so... they're already "tech innovators" and "media mavericks" but they need to go to school?
