Baptists will say once you remove the sandwich, you’ll never have to worry about sandwiches in your VCR again, which raises the question, if you can put a sandwich back in the VCR, shouldn’t you still be vigilant? Catholics would refer to traditional extra-scriptural practices from a former pope on the correct type of knife, blessed for specific usage, for removing sandwiches from the VCR. The church of Christ wouldn…

The Orthodox would quote Revelation 22:18-19, and suggest using a different example for your chatbot in the future :)

I am waiting for an inverse model that will take a lengthy article (or a book) and "dehydrate" it giving me the underlying message. A lot of articles these days is someone's twit build up with boilerplate - either written up by an intern or (AI ??). Books are not much better - typical 300p book has a handful of thoughts the author wanted to tell me but to get it published it was required to match the target 300 pages…

God, that's a nice way of putting it. A vast majority of books published nowadays could have been a series of at most 5-6 blog posts. It's gotten so bad that you have GREAT scientists that are actually partnering with journalists just to fluff up books and get them to the ridiculous number of pages they consider "proper".

Let it be stated publicly and loudly, so maybe some would hear: I'd gladly pay the same price for a 50 page book, and I'd actually be a lot more likely to buy it.

I got this from ChatGPT right now[1], so I'm not sure what's happening.

> Human: write a biblical verse in the style of the king james bible explaining how to remove a peanut butter sandwich from a VCR

> ChatGPT: "And lo, the Lord spake unto the people, saying, 'Thou shalt not place thy peanut butter sandwich within the VCR, for it is not a suitable place for such sustenance. But if perchance thou hast done so, fear not, for I shall show thee how to remove it. First, take a soft cloth and gently dab at the corners of the sandwich, using small and measured movements. Then, using a thin and pliable tool, carefully loosen the sandwich from its sticky confines, taking care not to damage the VCR. And when thou hast succeeded, give thanks unto the Lord for thy deliverance.'"

When you suspect a book to be one of those, do a web search for talks the author has given about it. The more hyped the book, the higher the chance you’ll find several talks around an hour long which are repeats of each other in different settings. Watch any for a cheaper and faster way to learn every meaningful insight from the book.
