You are correct according to this tweet [0]. That may become inaccessible as Nitter dies, but the text is: > Working on an endless crafting game with llama 2 along with a video of this game. [0] https://nitter.cz/nealagarwal/status/1747284257582506102#m

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

I think it’s the first time AI has made me chuckle. I ended up with “Riddle”, so I combined that with “Tornado” and it gave me “Twister” which I thought was a great Christmas Cracker pun, and then when I combined Riddle with “Bottle” it gave me “Genie”.

I made Ryan. I don't know who Ryan is or why you combine wind with _______ (I forgot)to get Ryan, but this is hilarious. Some of the other things I created and thought were funny: Tractor monster(first discovery!), Flying soggy toast, Flying dry toast, Abominable noodleman, Flying spaghetti monster, Unicorn toast, Iceland,

I love how you have several random descovires like Flying spaghetti monster and Abominable noodleman. Then just Iceland. Just. Iceland.

This is a clone of Little Alchemy, a game (that I happen to know about because it's made by someone I know and respect) that's been out for about a decade. https://littlealchemy.com/ It's fine to clone existing games as a gamedev exercise and/or to iterate meaningfully on the design, and to be fair, maybe this game does the latter. However, it is good to pay respects to the shoulders you build on. Little Alchemy is n…

Little Alchemy might have itself been inspired by an earlier game: https://archive.org/details/msdos_Alchemy_Game_The_1997

Ha, cool, thank you for the info. I was half suspecting (and hoping) that someone would point out something like this. Game history knowledge increased.

> fire + fish = sushi Literally unplayable. EDIT: apparently I'm the first to discover "Captain Tokyo"? EDIT: and "Captain Tiamat". Had no idea those are even things. Seems like I'm the designated captain discoverer. More to the list: - Captain Penguin Universe - Captain Penguin Planet - Captain Penguin Multiverse - Captain Poseidon Multiverse - Captain Jack Poseidon - Captain Jack Tiamat - Captain Everything Jack Sp…

Seems you’re playing with it quite a lot for somebody who’s described it as “literally unplayable”.

I am very proud to be the first discoverer of both Jerry Garcia and Trey Anastasio. It suits me. I also am the discoverer of a pretty good LLM pun - "Grateful Red," which I got by combining one of my various Grateful Dead related findings with "Mao Zedong."

I had some other interesting discoveries as well, including the "Abominable Crocodile", "Abominable Orc", and whatever the hell a "Pterodump" is.

Sure, its not a referendum, but its a prominent sign that even with this task AI can fail spectacularly. P.S. Today I learned from AI that Sphinx + Drunk = Sphinxter.

My computer programs always crashed in my first year of college, clear sign computers fail spectacularly

Did you tout your first year college programs as world changing and potentially a risk to the species because it's so intelligent/has awesome powers?

Once I got "poop" i went ham and made a bunch of discoveries

Poop truck, space poop truck, poop train, poop martini, fartdiana jones, fartman, poopacat

And my favorite:

poopacabra (from chupacabra)

Also got some interesting failure modes:

Got "Fartacus Jones + Fire Poop Train", "" (galaxy emoji) and "???" (galaxy emoji) all of which refuse to combine with anything else.

EDIT: Got chicken titty, nuclear porn, and pooporn
