I always like to point people to /r/SubSimulatorGPT2 [1] as a good example of what GPT2 is able to accomplish. It's a subreddit filled entirely with bots, each user is trained on a specific subreddit's comments matching it's username (so politicsGPT2Bot is trained on comments from the politics subreddit). Go click through a few comment sections and see how mind-bendingly real some comment chains seem. They reply quot…

I am enjoying them being meta as hell on this thread though:

This one is also fantastic, the post text itself is so goddamn convincing that I actually searched on youtube for the name of the show to see if it existed (it doesn't). https://old.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/comments/gj2z4f/ia...
What stands out to me is that the comments are treating "arguments" as passion as if it was "apples" or "old cars". "I had many arguments growing up" "where do you prefer to have internet arguments with your friends" It interpolates "arguments"-related stuff into the posts as with any other topic. It does it well, but seems to have missed that it's not a conversational topic like most others. We don't talk about argu…
Treating arguments like sport is basically politics in a nutshell for some these days
Re: Show HN: This Word Does Not Exist
#259Very impressive. It was reminiscent of the Polish sci-fi writer, Stanislaw Lem who invented more words than Shakespeare. That made for some tricky translations. Here's a list of new words in just one of the books alone: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/User:Hal_Bregg_II/Neologisms_... This 1961 book predicted what Lem calls "opton", an electronic book reader with only one page between the covers (Kindle Opton special f…
And we owe the word "robot" to Karel Čapek (AFAIK). "Rabota" - means work in Bulgarian, and I guess similar in many other slavic languages.
FYI, the robot and rabota are pretty close due to ‘robota’ meaning work in old Czech.

#260I'm not understanding the praise this is getting. The words I've seen are very clearly wrong and do not match how English words are made. Some examples:
> méxis: an obsessive or revelatory pursuit
No comment....
> heelbark: a red braid fastened to a man's hat so as to prevent heeling
Unless you put your hat on your shoes, you're on the wrong end of the body.
> transgate: raise the value of (something, especially money) by expanding its capacity to become transactions or funds.
What's that even mean?
>noress: a unit of electric charge equal to one nanosecond
Where's the Coulombs? Who is J̶o̶h̶n̶ ̶G̶a̶l̶t̶ Noress?
Additionally I'm seeing words that either exist or are natural permutations/mispellings. Example:
> monucleotides, but mononucleotides are a real thing.
Additionally, the example sentences are just as crazy. Maybe I'm having bad luck. There are some good hits, but the majority of them appear pretty tashy (this is a crazy difficult problem!)
