Well I’d love to give GPT3 the abstract as a starting point and see what comes out the other end!

Well I’d love to give GPT3 the abstract as a starting point and see what comes out the other end!
- msapaydin 6y agoHere is what comes out: "The history of our universe is a sequence of random events. Each event is the result of a very small probability, and the events are independent of each other. The probability that any particular event will happen is very small. So the probability that any particular event will happen twice is even smaller. So the probability that any particular event will happen twice in a row is even smaller. So the probability that any particular event will happen three times in a row is even smaller. And so on."

So the probability that any particular event will happen twice in a row is even smaller. So the probability that any particular event will happen three times in a row is even smaller." This sounds like a meta-joke, lol.
- taberiand 6y ago"So the probability that any particular event will happen four times in a row is looking a little suspicious. Five is right out"
- ooobit2 6y ago"And I'm not even going to entertain the probability of six, though I can confirm it will be exactly as many degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon."

- msapaydin 6y agoAnother attempt to gpt-3 filtering the intro section of the paper: This book is about how we can guess what will happen in the future. The first chapter is about how we can guess the next number in a sequence. The second chapter is about how we can guess the next word in a sentence. The third chapter is about how we can guess the next word in a book. The fourth chapter is about how we can guess the next word in all the books ever written. The fifth chapter is about how we can guess the next word in all the books ever written
- msapaydin 6y agoThis is also gpt-3 output based on the abstract as if explaining to an eight grader: The theory of everything (TOE) is a mathematical formula that can predict everything that will happen in the future. It is a theory of everything, so it can predict what will happen to the universe, and to us. We assume that the TOE is simple enough for us to understand, but we don't know for sure.
