This sounds like the premise for a fun sci-fi/horror move. Uh-oh; we accidentally trained GPT6 on the Necronomicon!

- akomtu 1y ago"AI trained on alchemy books successfully invokes demons"
- TheOtherHobbes 1y agoConsidering where we are, "AI trained on occult books successfully banishes demons" might be more useful.
- nailer 1y agoOK that's an idea for a fun / silly movie. - AI model gets access to weapons and decides to attack humanity (so far so boring) - Humans respond by training their own model on occult to summon demons to fight the robots.
- pnemonic 1y ago"Aleister Crowley and Helena Blavatsky reborn as LLMs after encoded consciousnesses parsed by training algorithms"

- dr_dshiv 1y agoEthics of AI necromancy; under which circumstances is it ethically appropriate to summon the souls of dead classical philosophers?
- vintermann 1y agoIf they would have approved of it and/or totally done it themselves, it has to be OK, right?
- racl101 1y agoSo did it tell you how to make gold or not?
- setnone 1y agoYou have to use uncensored version
- akomtu 1y agoAI won't tell you the truth unless you make it do so with exorcism powers. It's an archdemon after all.
- bigfishrunning 1y agoLol the AI we have tells only lies. We still need to invent it's brother, who tells only the truth.

- trenchpilgrim 1y ago"HN commenters point out that top human warlocks are still capable of forming pacts with a wider variety of powerful entities such as djinn, archfey, celestials and the Great Old Ones"
- rpastuszak 1y agoHere's a picture that lives in my head rent free: - programming is alchemy: combine, transmute - prompt engineering is demonic evocation: bend the demon to your will through language play and gotchas
- krapp 1y agoThis is just a Charles Stross novel.
- rpastuszak 1y agoI just learned about The Laundry Files, thanks!
- datadrivenangel 1y agoThe Laundry files are very good. James Bond crossed with Lovecraft in the tone of Terry Pratchett.
- nurettin 1y agoWhat is the equal sacrifice for programming? Hair loss?
- slt2021 1y agocarpal tunnel, scoliosis, nearsightedness
- krisoft 1y agoCoding with an LLM certainly feels like being a malconvoker.
- crb3 1y agoSo it was double-forks, not pitch-forks, all along?

- dylan604 1y agoI hope it was trained on Army of Darkness and can never actually say the words.
- riffraff 1y agoIn case you don't know this, the words in Army of Darkness are actually from "the day the earth still". It's one of my favorite things when tiny ideas (memes, in the original meaning) keep propagating. The Necronomicon itself being one of the most successful ones. https://youtu.be/v2vHJU_rFps?si=XKsY0IJFywxgM7ht https://youtu.be/v2vHJU_rFps?si=XKsY0IJFywxgM7ht
- dylan604 1y agoYes, I know the joke inside the joke. However, the point still stands that if you can’t remember the words, it doesn’t matter what the words really are
- rpastuszak 1y agoI can't recall the title, but a friend was recommending to me a book in this genre. I'm probably misremembering, but here you go: a detective agency using an artificial intelligence to conjure demons.
- rpastuszak 1y agoSeems like another commenter found the author/books I was thinking about: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44915297 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44915297

- grues-dinner 1y agoNow to pit it in debate against Magisterium, the Catholic AI: https://www.magisterium.com/ https://www.magisterium.com/
- throwanem 1y agoThat is not in any sense "Catholic AI." If the failed seminarian behind it had ever been frocked in the first place, he would by now be losing his orders.
- grues-dinner 1y agoTake it up with Longbeard: https://www.longbeard.com/ https://www.longbeard.com/, they seem to be serious about it!
- throwanem 1y agoOh, that much is plain.
- hobo_in_library 1y ago1600 of these had already been uploaded back in 2018. All our AIs are already trained on these https://web.archive.org/web/20240615044608/https://www.openculture.com/2018/02/1600-occult-books-now-digitized-put-online.html https://web.archive.org/web/20240615044608/https://www.openc...
- ted_bunny 1y agoHonestly you can't get much out of GPT-666* except the most boilerplate sigils, and then you run the risk of cross-imbuement and well, now you got demons. Do you want demons? Because that's how you get demons.
- Dilettante_ 1y agoI've quite improved my results by telling it to purify and circumambulate its ritual space a few times in my user prompt. I've also been dabbling with reasoning, but so far what feels like 80% of sessions get possessed within 2 reasoning steps.
- ForOldHack 1y agoA friend of mine, asked ChatGPT to answer in paradoxes, if ChatGPT was running in a simulation, or are we running in a simulation. It was quite confused at first.

- literalAardvark 1y agoYou jest, but that's already a pretty decent Buffy the vampire slayer episode
- GuinansEyebrows 1y agoone of my favorites!
- duxup 1y agoDistantly like the story about Rationalists where some went from referencing "demons" to believing the occult is real. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44877076 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44877076
- Onavo 1y agoThe Laundry and the Black Chamber want to know your location.
- grues-dinner 1y agoHonestly, if Charles Stross decides that reality is catching up with the fiction again and the Laundry Files goes the way Rule 34 universe, I'll have to feed myself to the corner hounds.
- ChrisMarshallNY 1y agoNah, the Octavo.
- RajT88 1y agoNew season of Evil Dead. Either way, I'd watch it.
- wrp 1y agoI wonder how Terry Pratchett would have dealt with magical e-books? The goings on at the library of Unseen University were some of my favorite parts of Discworld.
- grimgrin 1y agoaside, my kindle is named: "Octarine Fairy" -- hardly fitting, except it's a book and I adore discworld https://wiki.lspace.org/Octarine_Fairy_Book https://wiki.lspace.org/Octarine_Fairy_Book
- WJW 1y agoThat is a very cool name for a kindle. Never stop believing in dragons! You could actually make them extinct that way.
