> A "Kaufmanism" is the persuasive rhetorical juxtaposition of words that reverses the subject and object of a phrase often meant to change its context and meaning, typically used to add additional emphasis to both nouns.
Not suitable for children. I sent my daughter the link as I thought she might find it interesting. The word she got was "wankerout" which was read out loud, unexpected and not appropriate.
Children say "rude" words all the time and nothing bad happens. [0]

Appears to be a collection of perfectly cromulent words; someone should propulgate them into wider use in order to embiggen the vocabulary of our youth.
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.

There is only poor, easily dismissable argument that unprestigious is not a word. The un- prefix is a highly productive morpheme English; dictionaries would only waste space by listing every possible un- word.
I'm not sure why, but "non-prestigious" feels more "correct" to me. I know that those prefixes aren't identical in meaning though, so both could be words with slightly different meanings.

Regrettably I hit refresh, but one word it said did not exist was "geochronology" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geochronology

I'm on the "if you can't tell the difference..." side, too, but the issue is the "10 tries" and the prompting. GPT-3 has no ability to revise or reconsider or judge anything it writes. We're still safe, IMO, until the main loop goes >generate 10 "netcan comments" >drop 5 least conformant results >reword remaining comments several times >reassess rewordings, select best of each set >select 1 most conformant "netcan co…
Oh I don't disagree that the "best of gpt-3" on twitter is automated hyperbole machine.^ But I think at least in HN, a lot of people have looked at somewhat more objective sources too. The standard way to prove a trick shot is to film yourself do two or three in a row. I agree these are tricks, and a lot are unproven. Some are proven though, FWIW. Anyway, if the damn thing can do me 10%-60% of the time in a non trivi…
Isn't that step 4 in the GP's scary loop? Having the humans do the assessing, then select the best by counting the number of likes/retweets?

What's the meaning of "liff"?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I was starting to write a response, and realised how patterned the debate is. We've been discussing the topic of machine intelligence since the start of CS and points of contention tend to show up in the same places. Anyway, it occured to me that if given 10 tries, GPT-3 probably produces my comment adequately. I have an uneasy suspicion that it might take fewer tries than that... especially if prompted with "netcan,…
Well, yes. GPT-3 is basically just a huge index of internet content. (Mostly UGC like comments and such?) So all it means is that your "internet voice" tends towards a generic baseline average. tldr - be more original and don't follow the hivemind.
