I appreciate that most of these pelicans are not holding the handlebars, i think that's more realistic than the alternative

I sometimes wish that I could read a book like that. But I think the reality is that it would make me tired and fall asleep.

> While combing through the raw DNA sequence near the RT, the agent exclaimed: “[The DNA next to the RT] is spectacular: I can see by eye a tandem repeat array … that's a CRISPR-like … repeat array?!”

I love that with AI discoveries, we can relive the discoveries from agent transcripts like this.

I'm sort of imagining future histories involving notable AI events peppered with direct quotes like these.

Since this contains an anthroporphized fish, does that make this a fable rather than a parable?

NFL teams might even be a better investment than European soccer teams since they have a monopoly over professional football in a region, and are not susceptible to significantly decreased valuation that might result from being relegated to a lower league.

I think this is right. Any measurement will have finite precision, so while we might be able to discover some maximum precision that the universe uses eventually, we won't ever be able to prove that the universe has infinite precision representations from finite precision measurements.

A 'thank you' that might otherwise end a conversation will trigger a response by the model that will generate additional tokens. So the inclusion of the pleasantries could increase tokens beyond the pleasantries themselves.

Given that LLM content is generated with some randomness, and assuming that published LLM content is filtered to be useful for humans, then even in the case where no content is being generated by humans, I would expect the published content to contain new information that is generated by humans.

Hmm, it looks like some ASCII characters are missing from the hard-coded alphabet here: https://github.com/sjvasquez/handwriting-synthesis/blob/mast...

alphabet = [ '\x00', ' ', '!', '"', '#', "'", '(', ')', ',', '-', '.', '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', ':', ';', '?', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'Y', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z' ]

That seems to explain why it fails on capital X/Q and doesn't fail on lowercase x/q.
