Ok. Isn't this sort of what the LLMs are supposed to do? From what I read he asked for some text written in a particular style about a particular year and got text back. It would be like a child asking a parent for a story and the par

I really like the Busy Beaver stuff. I wish I had been exposed to it (at lest enough to play with it some) in high school. It reminds me some of Jorge Luis Borges' story "The Library of Babel". Does anybody know of other int

I have been several times and always enjoy the time spent there. I have never found a diamond but saw a woman cleaning her shoes find one. "Oh, what's this stuck to my shoe." So maybe it is not so hard finding diamonds, just

A couple observations of the not so distant past (in my lifetime). NBA coaches and players, not playing but sitting on the bench, used to wear suits and ties regularly. Also, Most of the congregation in the church I attended as a child dres

A while back I encoded the message "Can you read this?" in rot13 (or something very similar) and sent it to chatGPT[. It answered back (yes) in with a sentence in rot13. Why could it do that but not count letters?

I certainly see the dendritic nature of the rock but I am wondering if there are rocks found on Earth that look he same. Most of the examples of that sort of thing are more 2D patterns. Just some images of what I am talking about: https:&#
