Prompt an LLM to contemplate its own existence every 30 minutes, give it access to a database of its previous outputs on the topic, boom you've got a strange loop. IDK why everyone thinks AGI is so hard.

Thanks! Glad you liked it. What is a vinphantom? I've never heard the term, and a search didn't turn up anything poetry / meter related.

Oh no oh dear don't make me chronicle the progression of the natural miracle that is the evolution of language as I swore to do when I solemnly took my Lexicographer's Oath oh no that's my least favorite thing.

It really depends on the advice, and my relationship with the advice giver. I generally give advice at least a thought, even if it was unwanted, unless I have a reason to mistrust the advisor. As for how I respond to the person, if it's a friend I'll usually have followup questions, for people I know less well it's usually a cordial variant of "hmm, interesting perspective" and then I have to think on it for a while before I respond, if I respond at all.

Sometimes I think about how so many of us look up at the stars and wonder "if there really are aliens out there, why aren't they colonizing the galaxy as fast as possible, as any intelligent species would naturally do?" like it's the thing just anyone looking at the stars might think. we might be the horrifying biomechanical paperclip maximizer that the other aliens in the galaxy have to band together to defeat or face extermination.

Yep, I think the accepted English pronunciation of "Euler" is as a homophone of "oiler", so the award would be "the oilies". I never heard the name out loud as a kid so I pronounced it "you'-ler" until well into adulthood, until someone made a big deal about me not pronouncing it correctly. I remember the occasion very clearly 🙃

We can call it the Euler Award for Excessive Achievement in Science. Or the Eulies if you're in the industry. And we can make a big deal about it if anyone pronounces it "the yoolies"

That tracks. It felt like someone at the show really liked the first version but someone at the network made them change it, so they were like "fuck it, put a tambourine under it idk" and called it good enough.
