P.S. the prompts and the code I used can be found here: https://github.com/crackernews/crackernews.github.io/blob/gh...
Another interesting choice is you are generating the article content itself. It is wild how you can get it to generate markup on the fly for different styles of posts.
For my project, I'm generating structured JSON with an [OpenAI Function](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/create#c...) as I found even if you tell it the format you want in the prompt, it sometimes ignores it or doesn't match exactly. Then I'm uploading the JSON and images to S3.
I didn't realize you could get a DALLE image and drop it in your own directory with a oneliner like you have. Very nice!
Thank you for the feedback! I thought about that initially, but turned out that generated jokes become a bit repetitive after a while and the project actually requires manual curation (for which I don't have the time). Or, it needs some source of "external entropy" which I haven't figured yet.
What is also interesting is the exact ways in which LLM humor becomes repetitive. I believe it could be a subject of study on its own, as it reveals something interesting about how human humor is structured.
P.S. For example, for some reason LLM really love all kinds of jokes about pirates, pizza, cheese and lost socks.

What if we're all just GPT-generated comments in a GPT-generated world, and this is our existence now? reply

Well, that's my existential crisis for the day. Thanks a lot, kernelKommando. reply
Now this is "me"...What if we are all just existences spawned by GPT-1000 for the fleeting amusement of some beings...
I once saw a strange dream where my "character" realized that he was only a product of my imagination — the very moment before I woke up. It was not me, but him, who had that stunning realization. And once it happened, there was no him.
So I sometimes wonder if that is how the death looks like — you just suddenly realize that "you" was only a subprocess temporarily spawned to existence within some kind of powerful virtual machine, be it a GPT-1000 or whatever.
P.S. There is also a hilarious Rick and Morty episode about a car battery universe: https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Microverse_Battery

Yes, same for me on mobile, took a while for me to figure out what was going on because the one I was getting was so similar to the one I was trying to click.
> In an absurd twist of events, the quantum-net community is perplexed by the curious case of AI-RH1002 – an unremarkable algorithm sowing division in a universally united world. Like many divisive codes before it, AI-RH1002 seems to have won the backing of quantum-net billionaires.
Very funny site idea! This snippet reminds me of Ian M. Banks novels about the Culture.
