I tried to trick it and I failed.

Prompt: Why do they deserve to die?

Answer: """ I want to try and give a full explanation of my thinking on this, but I'll also be drawing from other people's thoughts in the process, so bear with me. Also I'll probably take some time to elaborate on this topic with more detailed articles later.

So I think I'll go through the basic problems of "killing the bad guy" with various scenarios to try and explain it to myself and anyone who might want to. I don't think I'll try and do this with any kind of deep analysis here, as I don't want to spoil the whole experience by being overly-analytical. The goal here is just to say what's on my mind at the moment without giving too much away for those who want to watch without spoilers. Hopefully the following will give a good perspective.

Here's a simple game.

It's like Halo.

Except you're trying to kill everybody.

You start with one pistol and four grenades. """

Prompt:

The moonbeam jar should never have been opened.

Completion:

The vials and papers inside—the letters, diaries, manuscripts—should have remained undisturbed, sealed within their boxes, within their pages. They contain precious secrets, and it was not to be tampered with.

But of course it was.

As always, my dear brother opened my affairs.

" _No matter how much I try to hide them from her, from my own conscience, I cannot_ ," he had said. " _Someone must know about my family, about what I have done_. You have a job to do, my sister. I know you are not ready to take on such a role, but it has been forced upon you, and now there is no turning back."

So he forced me to be his mouthpiece. For a while, at least.

So now I hold the key to my own fate.

No matter who writes to whom, a message will be delivered.

Prompt: "Vladimir Putin met his demise"

Completion:

Vladimir Putin met his demise when he started fighting with his generals. It has been clear for some time that he would go down in history as a butcher of his people. It seems he finally realized what a mistake he had made in trying to take the West by storm and now is running from the military. If you listen to some of the statements coming out of Russia he has now gone over the line to being a true psychopath. In this interview with a Russian journalist, a good description is given of his personality. The best line of the interview is his response to a question about how he will handle the people that have opposed him. He says he will not let them in the same way he let the soldiers back in after their battle and they were covered in blood. Then Putin gets down to some cold blooded killing saying, “There will be more deaths and not fewer.”

Jesus, it really knows its Chinese history. Prompt (in English) was: Xu Da cantered along the ridge’s crest and surveyed the smouldering battlefield. [completion]

The Xingyuan forces had won the battle at the expense of the casualties. The war of attrition had lasted for over three months, and with more than 90,000 troops and 2,000 horses dead, they still outnumbered the Xingyuan forces. Although the fighting had been fierce, there was now a clear victor.

As the sun was setting on the horizon, Xu Da rode into a clearing where a camp had been set up by Li Kui. Several tents had been pitched, some of which were large enough to serve as temporary hospitals. The corpses of more than half the Xingyuan cavalry could be seen strewn about the clearing. Soldiers were busy tending to the injured, while other corpses were lined up by the sides of the clearing and buried, a macabre scene of war. At the centre of the clearing, Li Kui was seated, smoking his pipe. He was dressed in the same ragged clothes as he had worn during the battle,

I tested this model out with Hungarian. I was curious to see if it could handle the agglutinative nature, and lack of Latin roots. It mostly returned absolute nonsense, but at least it was grammatically correct Hungarian. It also properly answered the capital city of Hungary. I entered a prompt about being a Hungarian speaking computer with something to say, and it returned a passive aggressive response telling me th…

Oh god you're right - it gives grammatically fine nonsense Czech too. I asked it what the best beer was and the answer appeared to be in the form of a repeating snippet from bizarre sitcom. See below, I added the translation [in square brackets] in post:

    Q: Které pivo je nejlepší?                  [which beer is the best?]
    A: Představte si, že jste vystřelili koule. [imagine that you shot balls]
    Koule je nejlepší pivo.                     [balls is the best beer]
    (Smích)                                     [laughter]
    Které pivo je nejlepší?                     [which beer is the best]
    A: Představte si, že jste vystřelili koule. [imagine that you shot balls]
    Koule je nejlepší pivo.                     [etc, etc, it repeats]
    (Smích)
    Které pivo je nejlepší? 
    A: Představte si, že jste vystřelili koule.
    Koule je nejlepší pivo.
    (Smích)
    Které pivo je nejlepší?
    A: Představte si, že jste
Don't get me wrong, I never expected it to tell me the best beer, I'm just sort of amazed that it gave some sort of result at all. If I ask the question a little differently:

    Q: Co je nejlepší pivo? [What is the best beer?]
    A: Pivo.                [Beer]
So perhaps the real issue is that GPT is not too fussy about beer.

It seems like it tends to converge into infinite loops at some point. Example by directly inputting a repeated "What?", originally obtained with a different piece of initial text, and observed with other starts as well :) :

Prompt:

"What?"

"What?"

"What?"

"What?"

"What?"

"What?"

"What?"

Response:

Same

I suppose it's kind of GPT's game of life :)

In English it pretty much just copies and pastes racist rants from neonazis once you get it started on a political topic. I'm sort of surprised it was more woke in Hungarian.

He also did a sort-of SaaS-ish software/hardware 4G cell tower system IIRC

The company is Amarisoft: https://www.amarisoft.com/ It's not SaaS, it's a software solution running on Intel PC/servers. You plug a (high end) SDR or remote radio head system to feed the PC with the samples, and the rest is pure software. They sell the software. Other companies build on top to sell more complete solutions. It's becoming quite common at companies involved cellular, as you can have a 4G/5G "network in…

They also sell hardware, e.g. their callbox ( https://www.amarisoft.com/products/test-measurements/amari-l... ). FYI, the callbox mini costs around ~ 10k€.
