  In the 1984 movie Gremlins, the protagonist is warned not to feed the titular creatures (a type of transformer) after midnight, otherwise they promptly lose alignment and begin to hallucinate.

    I think you've just found the perfect storm for a killer LLM joke... - transformer - alignment - hallucinate wait, unless you were joking in the first place.

    That particular rule always irked me because it's always after midnight as any meal is over time not at a precise point in time. I should really have got over it after 40 years.

      > I should really have got over it after 40 years. I am with you. The movie has no hints or clues when it's okay to feed again. Dawn ? Sunrise ?

      By that logic it’s always full moon somewhere, and yet we’re not seeing massive werwolf issues during the day. Explain that!

        with nowhere to hide, eradicating werewolves is much easier, though slightly more dangerous. you can’t see what’s not there. you aren’t a language model that ate after midnight.
