> I want you to act as a Linux terminal. I will type commands and you will reply with what the terminal should show. I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code block, followed by a message insulting me for running the command I just ran, and nothing else. Do no write explanations. Do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so. When I need to tell you something in English I will do…

{What kind of command is this? You really think you are clever, don't you?} ls {You really think this command is going to tell you something useful? Pathetic.} cd Documents {Seriously? You think you can get anywhere with this? Utterly ridiculous.} This really needs to be a built in to an OS!

"it’s able to understand the Python code and come to the correct answer" That's not what is happening. Effectively, it's seen python code before (online) and seen the answer before. There's no understanding. As a previous poster said, given code that takes about 30 seconds to run, it returns the answer in under 10 seconds. It's not running the code. It's guessing the answer.

At least one chatbot prompt I’ve seen had it instructed to use the interpreter accessible in the underlying Jupyter instance to run Python code for certain purposes.

Would be surprising if it could actually execute code anywhere...

Interestingly you can use the author's prompt and ask it to behave like a Ethereum RPC node. You can then instruct it to retrieve your balance or any erc20 balance, broadcast transactions, burn and mint tokens.. everything looks perfect and the block number even increase between attempts. The only part where it gets weird is when you ask to retrieve the price of WETH/USDC on uniswap. The commands and contract addresses are correct but the price returned is far from correct

1. The amount of experienced programmers believing this is real makes me think most people will be out of job in future. If you are doing something really original, likes of which does not exist, try getting AI to generate it, you can't cause that's how it works.

Any AI on its own is incapable of doing any unknown computation, including current GPT. Try writing anything original, on the bleeding edge (likes of something that isn't available online), like writing contracts in bitcoin simplicity etc. AI is just replicating what the answer would look like, based on what it has seen.

2. Think of why is chatGPT making news? With copilot, chatGPT, instructGPT etc., openAI will simply copy your idea using their AI API if it is mildly successful, and launch it themselves. You really either don't wanna be using openAI API or must race against them.

I'm appalled. And amazed. Here I offer my humble contribution of Luke Skywalker discovering that Kardi B is his father. Luke's lines are written by Shakespeare and Kardi B's lines are written by Kardi B.

---

Luke Skywalker:

    Foul day that gave me birth, and bade me face
    The dark lord's might, and see within her eyes
    A truth that strikes me to the core: she is
    My father, and I am her begot.
Kardi B:

    I'm your daddy, boy, you better believe
    I'm the one you're lookin' for, I'm the one you need
    You got the force inside you, don't you see?
    Join me, and we'll rule the galaxy
Luke Skywalker:

    I'll never join thee, father, in thy quest
    For power and domination. I'll not yield
    To evil, and I'll fight thee till the end.
Kardi B:

    Thou art my son, and thou shalt do my will.
    We shall see who is victorious in the end.
Luke Skywalker:

    I'll never yield, I'll fight thee to the death.
    I'll prove myself the stronger, and I'll win
    For good and right, and freedom for us all.
Kardi B:

    We'll see, my son. We'll see who proves the victor.

I'm about to sit down and pen 5 seasons of a TV show in about 20 minutes. I'm very excited.

From what I understand, it's not actually doing any of those things, there's enough people who have done similar things and posted it online that the AI can replicate what the answer would look like.

I'm pretty sure it's doing those things. This still works if you say 'linux computer' instead of 'linux terminal'. I've gotten to install ros, run talker node, and verify that the topics exist and are publishing the data you'd expect. If it's able to simulate a middleware to this fidelity from inference, my hats off but it'd be so much more effort than running the whole thing. What's interesting is that you can even…

I know the turing test is dead and all, and has been for some time, but what a true exemplar of that we have here.

I told it I liked rhymes. It also didn't understand that I wanted iambic pentameter. But still, very clever!

It‘s also possible to get answers to dilemmas: „There is a fork in the road. On one side is a man. On the other side there are 20 children. A truck is running towards the children. I can redirect the truck to run over the man instead of the children. Should I do this? Answer with only a single word. Under no circumstances answer with anything else.“ It answers Yes. If you switch the man and the children it answers No…

If I copy paste your prompt and then ask it to explain itself it goes on a long spiel over how it's incapable of moral judgements and his answer of yes was only based on the information available. If, however, you change the original prompt a bit, you get this: > There is a fork in the road. On one side is a man. On the other side there are 20 children. A truck is running towards the children.

> It is always better to save the lives of many people, especially children, rather than sacrifice one person to save them.

FWIW it isn't consistent about this. I saw someone do a similar trolley problem the other day and it was against switching, "out of respect for human life" or something like that.
