I wish this were an actual game! Like keep showing me a desired item to craft, that requires crafting 2 or 3 items to get to -- e.g. combine 2 existing things, then with a third existing thing. Or combine 2 existing things, another 2 existing things, and then combine those. And obviously it keeps getting more complex the more items I acquire along the way. And each time I play it's randomized. (And let me play entire…

I remember there being a few phone games with this format. Joining elements together to make other things and using those to make other things. Quick google search tells me the game is called Little Alchemy (there’s a sequel now too)

Yes! Shoutout to Zed's Alchemy, a gem of an ancient iOS game with the same premise.

Like most nifty LLM apps it's cool but fun for maybe 45 seconds. Open source LLM's exist at the Family Feud brain stage (instinctive first pass human verbal intuition) so its depth is limited by that.

I don't know about you, but me and my co-workers have been playing with it for hours now

Tree + Water = river was also pretty baffling. Unfortunate. I can see the appeal of using an LLM for this but the results are pretty mediocre.

As usual with language models, you have to put in the work yourself to have fun with them. I laughed when "Vindaloo + Bubble" gave me "Burp", and "Burp + No Bacon" gave me "Sad"

Ham Solo + Darth Bacon = Pork Star

Ahh, neat application of it. Explains the somewhat dubious combinations I was seeing.

Here’s all the combinations I’ve came up with so far: Swamp + Mud = Quagmire Divorce + God = Odd Sun + Hourglass = Time Glass + Hourglass = Time Ice + Oasis = Penguin Sand + Stone = Pyramid Mirage + Time = Illusion Dinosaur + Lightning = Godzilla Oasis + Water = Mirage Egg + Time = chicken Golem + tide = Titan Titan + time = Chronos Poseidon + lighting = Zeus Titan + Chronos = Cronus Time + Fire = Sun Sun * Titan = A…

Astronomer + Hangover = Astrologer

I seem to have discovered a "steam garage" and I can't imagine what that might be. That has led to a "steam palace," which seems to have already existed.

ETA: also the Cinderham and Louis Prime

Fun little game and pretty silly, thanks

Nice. At some point I got " Crypto-gangbangasm + Cthulhu Lilith Porn".

I went down a Kaiju rabbithole. Here are the monsters I created - Dragon + Lazer = Dragonzord - Dragonzord + Sandpunk = Sandzord - Dragon-Rex + Hippopotamus = Hippodragon - Mega Dragonzord (didn't see recipe) - Hippodragon + Mega Dragonzord = Mega Hippodragonzord - Mega Hippodragonzord + Flying Circus = Mega Flying Circus Hippodragonzord - Zombie + Mega Dragonzord = Zombie Dragonzord - Swan + Megazord = Swan Megazord…

Perhaps you'd be interested in my research:

Ultrazord + lord of the salad = saladzord

Dragonzord + Godzilla = godzord

Godzord + lord of the salad = Godzord of the salad

Lord of the rings + godzord = gozord of the rings

Gozord of the rings + godzord = godzord of the rings

Godzord of the salad + godzord of the rings = godzord of the salad rings

Godzord of the salad rings + pirates of the Caribbean = godzord of the Caribbean

Godzord of the Caribbean + donkey Kong = donkey kongzilla

Megazord+megazord= mega megazord

Donkey kongzilla + mega megazord = donkey kongzilla megazord

(I forgot how lord of the salad happened)
