A 10,000 year warning

It isn’t every project that requires people to make plans for thousands or millions of years in the future. But some kinds of nuclear waste remain deadly for over 250,000 years [https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/nuclear-waste-lethal-trash-or-renewable-energy-source/] , probably outliving all existing civilizations, languages, and possibly even humanity itself.

Earlier, I did the rather unsettlingly meta exercise of using a new neural net, GPT-3, to generate hypothetical AI Weirdness blog posts. [https://aiweirdness.com/post/626712039215202304/ai-ai-weirdness] One of the tricks I can do with this: GPT-3 can play along with an opening in which I declare that I’

The story behind AI drawing prompts

Introducing #Botober, a set of AI-generated drawing prompts for each day in October! Last year I generated prompts [https://aiweirdness.com/post/187962817292/ainktober-a-neural-net-creates-drawing-prompts] by finetuning GPT-2 on 124 examples from previous years. The human-written training examples included items like Thunder, Fierce, Tired, or Friend. The neural net-generated examples included

Now that GPT-3 is capable of writing entire personality quizzes (sort of [https://aiweirdness.com/post/625169439532482560/which-ai-generated-personality-quiz-are-you] ), could it write an entire blog post for me? I prompted GPT-3 with “Welcome to AI Weirdness! In today’s blog post, I wondered what would happen if I trained a neural

Text-generating neural networks can do a lot more now than they used to. When I first started generating things with neural networks, sentences and even simple phrases were mostly beyond them (that didn’t stop me from trying, with hilariously inept results [https://aiweirdness.com/post/159302925452/the-neural-network-generated-pickup-lines-that-are] ). But now

What would you do with more memory? Clearly, play more complex games. One difference between OpenAI’s new text generator (known as GPT-3) [https://aiweirdness.com/post/623543644426829825/facts-about-whales] and the other neural networks I’ve used in the past is that it now looks at much more text when

So far one of my favorite uses of OpenAI’s new API [https://beta.openai.com/] (which people are calling GPT-3) is for making absurd memes. One of the memes from March/April 2020 was quarantine houses, where people under sudden covid-19 stay-at-home orders took stock of the skills and
