Unfortunately the account no longer exists... but about a decade ago while I was in school, I created a Markov twitter bot trained on:
1. All of Linus Torvalds' mail to LKML for the prior year.
2. All of Jesus' direct quotes from the king james bible.
It was absolutely hilarious. The two training sets had very little overlap, so it was necessary to add a heuristic that weighted options from each set more heavily the longer the chain had been "stuck" in the other set.

- throwawayk7h 2y agoYes, this is the first thing in the article.
